Hi all, I don't (yet) own a harness but a few weeks ago one of my sailing friends crewed for me, and when she tried to get out on the wires she found that the hook position was too low (even with the adjuster fully shortened). She's crewed for other 15s in the club so knows what it should feel like....

Cheers Liam.

Hi all,
Could anyone tell me how long the trapeze bungee needs to be please? I need to replace mine and have found 3.3 metres of it but won't have a chance to check if it's long enough until the weekend.
Thanks.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
How exactly is the copying done please? It would be very easy to ruin an expensive track with the smallest inaccuracies.
Has anyone actually done this and prepared to share their method please?
Thanks.

Hi all,
Has anyone bought one of the trampoline track replacement kits from Windsport? If so, could you confirm whether or not the rack extrusions are drilled please? In the photo on their website it doesn't look like there are any fixing holes...
Thanks.

Hi all, I've noticed that many of the Dart 15 sailors at Seaford have switched from wire to pre-stretched Dyneema for the jib halyard. Am just curious how commonplace this is? I've not heard of any breakages, and in fact I wouldn't be surprised if a Dart with a broken forestay could be limped home o...

Hi again Brian, I managed to get both screw stubs out! Filed two small parallel "flats" on each one, then with heavy pliers (mole grips wouldn't hold) did as you suggested - first one way, then the other. Kept applying WD40 as they were coming out, and looks as if the threads are intact. T...

Thanks Brian, I'll give it a try. Do you sell the appropriate stainless screws please?

Hi all, I'm hoping that someone can advise me on how to solve this... Among a few other maintenance jobs I tried to replace my jib furler cleat today, but while trying to remove the old one both screws have sheared off just below the head. I'm not sure how to proceed... Pry of the cleat body and try...

Thanks Liam, I'll get some stamps at the weekend.

Hi all, Is there a way to buy back issues of the magazine please? I looked through some posts re. the last magazine in December and it looked like Yvonne was the one to contact, but I've not had any reply from her - has she left that role? The PDFs on here only seem to go up to 2018. Thanks. J.

For those of us who don't pay by standing order, could someone tell me the address to which membership fees should be sent please now that Keith has stopped doing it?
Thanks.

Just another quick question for anyone who's done the conversion... In which orientation did you drill the saddle fixing holes, in relation to the vertical facing tiller pin holes? My first impulse is to drill the holes so that the saddle ends up right on the top of the bar, but thinking about it, w...

Thanks Bob, I had another look at the Windsport website and found that the adaptor saddle wasn't to pricey, so have ordered the bits to do a conversion, just in case the tube isn't the right internal diameter for the old universal joint coupler. I noted again the adjustable end pieces that are now a...
