[quote=mattson]Also note the boom mounted brackets that hold the righting pole. These were made from teflon (I actually keep a stock of cutting boards in my garage to fabricate stuff). They latch with quick release pins.
This was the season that I decided to spend a lot of time to make stuff on the boat work better. The pole used to be held by those god awful bungee loops with the plastic balls that snap you in the hand half the time you try to use them. I also used microblocks inside of the rudder tubes to give me a 2:1 purchase on the rudder raising lines. It can take considerable development time and trial-and-error to make this sort of stuff work right, but once it is done, it's done for the reminder of the time you own the boat.[/quote]
