Re: protection patches

["Roger Wright" <rowr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I must echo Bram's comments about the beefed up patches under the spin 
retreival and launch blocks. When you have capsized with the spinnaker up, 
you have to get it into the sock before trying to right the boat. To do 
this, you sometimes need to apply all the force possible to the spin halyard 
to get it in. If I had known how much force I was going to apply to those 
blocks, I probably would have made some solid hybrid sheets to use as the 
backing plates.

 Warren,
 Attached are some photos of the backing plates under the USA020 deck.  I 
made wedges of cedar to fit the shape of the curves and mounted hybrid 
material with T-nuts to hold the deck hardware.  Filler completes the 
sealing and bonding over s-glass reinforcement.  I hope that this help you 
with your solution.
