Oh and a socket size would be nice too…
I am not sure how hard it was on, as we were just out playing around and not paying too much attention…The boom was weak, there were some holes that were cut with square edges instead of rounded and that was the weak spot…the aluminium actually tore apart.
You wanna see a Boom Break on my O30 while we were sailing?
http://www.Youtube.com/user/speedster236 There is a VID called The Boom Goes BOOM!I was driving, the other guy puts the vang on, we switch, and I never took it off!
BOOM!
did you get the file?

I did a SS thimble on the “Mast” end…then the ferruler on the other end. I used a total of 3 furrulers in the system…one on the backstay coming from the mast, one on the end coming from the port, then another coming from the starboard side…I actually use HEAT Shrink all the time around the boat…its pretty good to overlay the Whipped end of line…one extra layer of protection…Let me know if you want pics…I’ll be at the boat tomorrow.
@BH, yes, I am replying to the BStay Q. We just installed it and so not enough time has passed for a durability test…although, with the price of line these days, if it lasts 2 years, who cares the line costs $.87 a foot…just redo it.
@OS…we copied what the Melges24 have and installed a BackStay Flicker on top of the mast…in light air, the main always would get caught, one heavy batten and a small block, and that problem has been eliminated…
I will say this, I really like the Yale line, I like the solid color choices (6 different one) and it feels great, and there is NEVER any confusion about which line to trim…Splices pretty easy too!

I meant to say 3/16 would have been sufficient.
I am using 1/4 Ultrex 12 – Yale (100% Dyneema SK-75) A little overboard if you ask me…with Ferrules instead of blocks…I think the 5/16 would have been sufficient.
I used Yale MaxiBraid Plus 5/16 for the Spinnaker, and Yale Crystalyne 5/16 for the Jib…I thought about stripping them, but seriously I rather have the longevity of a cover protecting the core over the weight savings. I also went from 3/8 to 5/16, I figured the weight gain was negligible.
well, sailing anarchy is $50. I would say that their classified section gets a couple more hits than this site. I sold a set of winches on there in less than 3 days.
my crew would throw me off MY boat if I gave them 6mm for the Genoa sheets.
there is a huge difference between 8mm and 11mm…

Hi Guys,
I emailed Dale earlier, but I wanted to let you guys know that we do this too, and we use a Flying Scot mast…
