P18 #377 "Kestrel", NJ Date: 5/1/09 5:39a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Here is the whole sail sewn together (pic) (Rob M, P-21, Minuet building.) You make the sails, I'll splice the replacement running rigging. There's a mail-order business in there somewhere! One of the things about sailing is that it allows us to exercise many off-the-water skill sets. I find this very appealing (especially in Winter). This weekend I'll be spraying some gel coat over some PO bow repairs I knocked out gently with a hammer. I replaced the 4200 and whatever else they put in there to cover up quarter-size dock dings with thickened epoxy and now need to finish with gel coat. Color matching will be the tough part. Best, Tom V.
