Well the mast was unstepped last friday, no problems at all, all the fastners were removed as well as the rivets, lots of work, Selden supplied the rivets 4.8 X12.7 mm, 3/16 inch, which takes care of the spinnaker track, the exit plates, sheave boxes and assorted small fittings. The larger tee ball boxes require 6.35 X 17 mm, 1/4 inch rivets, all can be purchased through Selden USA, VERY NICE COMPANY, I am replacing all the threaded fastners with american made 316SS button head type bolts, all flat heads will be internal socket.
rivet prices: 0.50 cents each for 4.8 mm
: 0.75 cents each for 6.35mm
may be 125.00 dollars to replace all the threaded fastners on the deck,
I have a new Harken batt car syatem, a new Hall Quick Vang, very nice Company, Nan Hall is a very pleasant person to talk to, when I ordered the vang through JSI I bought the B -18 series model, which is right on the cusp of the required boat length choice, I called to ask their opinion, the suggested replacing the SS spring with the next larger size vang, 19.00 dollars. I also went with the NCI42 Profurl, good looking equipment, hope it all goes together to make her sing.
Anyone use reef blocks? looking at Antal. Anyone need s help give me an e-mail, I will have all the sizes used soon.
