That heavy hunk of rod rigging has a significant weak link with the $50

block and tackle inches off the waterline. Don't back into anything
sharp!

Yeah....I'm sure that's a regular poblem. Good tip!
Oh, wait...no. You're an idiot.

Bob admitted long ago that he can't back into his slip. Also, he

Oops, did I touch a nerve? Bad setup. Weak. Never seen any other one

A nerve? Yeah...no reported failures of the 35s5 backstay and over 400

I thought you said earlier that you had just put it back on removing the

I've never touched the backstay asside from using it during the test
