Giving Away Some Through Hull Fittings
Hi All,
Louise & Chris Miller have four through hull fittings, unsure of size, that they are happy to give to away if someone could use them. Let me know and I can put you in touch!
Sharing ideas and questions concerning boat and sail repair and maintenance.

I was looking for some resources to tune the rig, and my first thought was to check the Port Townsend Rigging website for resources.
Found a free rig tuning handout by Selden mast here: http://www.porttownsendrigging.com/resources/reading/
And they mention this book, "Sail & Rig Tuning" by Ivar Dedekam for the DIY'er :
Got Rigging? Have a rigging Project?
NW Rigging is considering a Juneau stop this spring/summer if enough interest. For info call Andy at 360-770-7035 (northwestrig@gmail.com). Their website is Northwestrigginginc.com
So, I have to remove and rebed a couple of stanchions and the last Sailor Talk really got me to thinking about how I want to do it. I definitely want to fill the through deck holes that currently hold the stanchions in place with epoxy and try one of the solutions described here:
I'm interested in finding out more about the headstay 'twin-slot' system employed on High Noon. I'd like to replace my hanked-on sails with a luff-groove setup like you've got Mike, but don't know the manufacturer of the forestay track system. Basically, I don't want to introduce a potential source of mechanical disfunction in a furling system, but want to be able to make headsail changes quickly with the double/twin-slots like you've got. Another big benefit of that system is having well-shaped sails to change out instead of compromising with the shape of a furled genoa. Thanks. ~JDOg
