    Foot blocks or snatch blocks?

    I will be flying an asymmetrical spinnaker or cruising chute on my E29, and need advice on the best method of turning spinnaker sheets back to the winches from as far aft as possible.

    Keel-stepped mast foot retainer

    Hi, I sail Sapphire Star - Olson 34 which is keel stepped. I'm entering a regatta soon and the safety requirements state that keel stepped masts require a retainer at the mast foot. I definitely dont have one of these on my mast foot, my mast simply sits on the base plate. I guess a retainer...

    Seawater Foot Pump / Leak

    Hello, Need some help...there appears to be a leak around the diaphragm foot pump that pumps in raw seawater. The leak may be coming from the connection of the hose to the pump or perhaps a hole in the diaphragm - given the lack of resistance I find when exercising the foot pump, my guess is...

    Mainsail foot changes and other questions

    My original 1979 mainsail is coming to an end of life point. Three more new holes opening up and stretched out material around the tack that no tensioning of luff or foot will firm up makes me think it's time to start looking for a new main. I have come across a used main that is in truly...
