I'm setting up a stay sail forestay and have a slight problem. See this pictu http://sports.webshots.com/photo/272...63212926LiUcvQ The old stay sail stay padeye was welded to an old electric winch that was tossed in favor of my cast iron hot galvanized triple dipped Navy number 1 wildcat drum combo. Now my inner forestay will be either fore or aft of the winch. I guess the best would be right on top of the bollard, but that would screw up the coating and foul things up using the bollard. Which side would be better? ..I'm leaning towards a padeye forward of the doubler plate under the winch. But in a heavy blow she may balance better with a small sail further aft.. Any suggestions or opinions? Joe I'm curious as to why you refer to a bollard on you boat... typically, a bollard is what's on the dock... calling one on a boat isn't wrong, but it's not common. -- "j" ganz -Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - http://sports.webshots.com/photo/216...63212926WOnZjw Just what would you call the thingy sticking out the top of the winch? A palmetto? Wilbur Hubbard- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That's a new term to me, but is somewhat fitting. However I think the proper term is bollard. Joe Samson post |
