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!!

Subject: Main Halyard replacement
Info: (18528 views) Posted: Friday 5-22-15 09:19:15 PM
Today, we put up the mast for another sailing season. After doing an inspection of everything on the mast, all looked good but the two plates at the top of the mast that enclose the main halyard sheave.

It appears the halyard has been wearing into the plates. I still have a wire rope halyard for the main.

My question is, what would cause the wear on the plates? It almost looks like the halyard has been a rope saw on this.

Also, is it common to keep the wire halyard or have people converted over to rope? If so what is required, does the sheave in the mast have to be replaced.

Thanks!
