    Big Question

    Awhile back a user had a question and so I replied with a polite answer. Well he got downright nasty about the whole thing and I fired back " excuse me" Merrily quickly jumped in and cleared things up and I appreciated very much. So the administrators have to draw a line in the sand...

    Main Sheet and block

    Your block failing internal seems doubtful at 3 years. I hope you didn't do what I did a month ago put the line thru the wrong way on block and had rachet on. I fought and fought it at 15 mph wind until I realized it. I use a 7m Bzzz. line and really made a difference.

    Dealer: "older" boats more prone to leaks-not made as well.

    I did a search for the trailer and the user was "Sonex" just can't figure how to post it on here yet. If used in freshwater this would be fine.

    Dealer: "older" boats more prone to leaks-not made as well.

    I had a 73 boat last year that had a new sail and a custom made trailer. I paid to much and sold it 4 mths later for 700. No upgrades I put new lines cleats and blocks. I picked up a 90s' boat it sailed so much better I never weighed the old one should be 130lbs. I would look toward a newer...
