I added elastic shock cord along the boom this year. Great addition. On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 7:56 PM, Joe Murphy <seagray@embarqmail.com> wrote:
I put in lazy jacks this last sailing season. One of the best things I've done. But I am going make some changes. Currently the blocks are located just below the spreader. I'm going to raise them another 4-5 feet up the mast. I really like the elastic cord to use in place of sail ties. That would be a pretty easy fix. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Jenkins To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2010 1:32 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Quiet list.

Joe, All those sound essential, but how about lazyjacks and an elastic cord secured along the boom (as on Motu iti) to facilitate mainsail control? I can see why some folks have to raise the waterline! :-) Tom

I know, some of you get to sail most of the year round. Lucky you.
We have a tiller pilot we want to install. Look for a whisker pole at the boat shows. Add some interior shelf/racks on the inside of the main cabin bulkhead for charts and stuff. Refinish the hatch boards and other teak I might take off. Order boat name graphics to put on in the spring.
How about you?
