Stemhead fitting cracks - what and where to check
|
The design of the original stem head fitting (the part that is bolted to the bow, to which the forestay attaches) lends itself to the initiation of crevice corrosion style cracks that progress through fatigue until the entire fitting gives way with a possible loss of your mast! This file shows where the crack originates, and some examples so you can better check your own rig. |

Alternative Reefing Ideas
|
Two approachs to reefing line rigging. The main problem with these are that it seems overly harsh on the sail since the line pulling through the forward cringle. Putting the line through a block instead of the cringle is recommended. |
