Yes, thank you, Werner! Busca's slowly getting ready for the CBR: New standing rigging, new smaller 5/16" mainsheet, freshly cleaned, etc... Although the windvane is not ready to go (I am one SLOW dude), the new control-line adjustment is finished and will make the sheet-to-tiller much easier to set up and adjust, I believe. I had found that one of the upper shrouds was kinked slightly at the masthead and that the masthead casting was wearing a slight groove in the terminal, so while installing the new rigging I ground the casting down slightly to eliminate the contact point (or at least spread it out and soften it up).
