| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

You can always pass the line through the bow pulpit or headstay mount to the primary winches and then to a cleat. If the spinnaker can pull the boat from those winches at 20 knots then it should be fine at anchor ;-)
FYI- that's standard procedure in us sailing manuals for boats that don't have bow cleats and do have deck-stepped masts.

:: As the proud new owner of #92 I'm trying to figure out
:: the best way to attach mooring lines to the bow. Wind
:: Wizard will be moored in an exposed anchorage and the
:: existing cleats are way too wimpy.
::
:: I'd rather not install big cleats on deck that'll foul
:: lines and sails. A bow eye was considered but it seems
:: that the coring extends all the way to the stem and I
:: don't know the thickness of the outer skin at the stem.
:: The forestay fitting on the deck is a strong point but
:: isn't set up for attaching lines with heavy forward
:: loads.
::
:: Does anyone have a good solution or bright idea for
:: attaching two 1/2" mooring lines off the bow? Thanks.
