Hey 'fishers
I noticed in the latest windward leg, the technical section on the boom end caps. Apparently, the author is rotating the endcaps around to keep the "eye" from breaking off in high wind. OK, that makes good sense.
I also see that there is mention of a fairlead. In the picture, there is what looks like a piece of tubing wrapped in tape used as a fairlead for the outhaul.
Is that what you are seeing? Has anyone seen this live? It all makes good sense, just wonderig about the "fairlead" piece....what is it, material, diameter, etc. Anyone care to discuss?
Nice issue of the magazine too if any involved read this!
