Jerry, Thanks for that offer. Absolutely. A tune-up clinic at Folsom would be excellent! By the way I sent an email out last week to organize an outing on Folsom this past Sunday. We had winds of 10-12 mph on the lake with gusts to 15 and a very spirited sail. Folsom gets to be "Bob 'n Bake" in the summer so this is the season. I sent the "invite" out to about 10 sailors, but only myself and one other boat showed up. Did you get the email? If not can you check your email spam filter to see if I was blocked? Dave: Thanks for the tip and the link. I actually have the page in front of me with the pictures of the marine eye, aircraft fork, turnbuckle stud, and Nicopress eye. My forestay turnbuckle actually has a swivel connector on both ends for attaching with clevis pin. See you in Renton in a few weeks! Off to Boca Raton FL for a week of training on Monday. Wish it were to go sailing in the intracoastal but oh well... Thx Neil
