I have the main sheet hardware and genoa cars you might be interested in. If interested, send an email to Fleet1959@yahoo.com and I'll send pictures and details.

Thanks ftworthsailor. :O) and THANKS FLEET!

Cars are now sold.

edit: haha so I tried to say for what it's worth sailor, and came up forwha*****worthsailor.

the boom vang is a simple piece ftworth, mine is the same tackle as the mainsheet with snap shackles at both ends and bails on the boom and mast.

Ape-X; can you send me a picture of your boom vang system?

This weekend, I purchased a Traveler system that included the track and the roller system, however I need to figure out how to mount it above the hatch slider. I will probably need to figure out how to mount it on a bent aluminum or stainless bar that spans the hatch on the cabin. Any ideas?

He's a good writer too. Really enjoy his sailing adventures each year.
