That's what I'm hoping.

Brian ... skipper of J30 Hornet and my winter tactician last winter was seriously upset with the performance of the boat. He is itching to do a complete re adjust when he gets here in a couple of weeks.

But this all started back in 1985 when I decided that I would not be racing all that much and Don Kidd of Pirate Cove asked a simple question: Do you want to race or comfy cruise with roller furling, slides in main ... etc. and mostly not in sheltered Narragansett Bay but off Beavertail?

Yesterday, they managed to get the mast base off with minimal problems ... the bolts were corroded and had a slight bend. Threads in step appear clean.
The slots in the base appear to be just maxed out for the OD measurement and that's where we will lock it down tomorrow.
