Dragging Your Feet
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. RB 35s5 NY |

Bob admitted long ago that he can't back into his slip. Also, he hangs monster fenders off his stern while docked. Scotty |

Oops, did I touch a nerve? Bad setup. Weak. Never seen any other one
like that. A nerve? Yeah...no reported failures of the 35s5 backstay and over 400 hulls built. Ouch! My poor little nerve! RB 35s5...a better boat than yours! NY |

U bolts pictured in one of the photos you posted. I've never touched the backstay asside from using it during the test sails. There are no U-bolts. RB 35s5 NY |
