We are visiting family on the east coast in about 2 weeks and spending a few days in Newport, RI on the wharf. Does anybody know of any weeknight racing that happens out of the Newport Yacht Club or somewhere nearby? It would fun to get out on the water for an evening. Does anybody else here have

I have to agree with Matt - There's the question of the missing key, potential damage to the stuffing box material, etc.  I would be quite concerned about doing any motoring whatsoever until such time as the key is replaced.  Bruce Whitmore (847) 404-5092 (mobile) bwhitm...@sbcglobal.net

I had my lifelines replaced by Rigging Only in Massachusetts (where I get all my lines). I sent them the old ones, and they sent back the new ones. Their prices on material and fittings are reasonable, and in my view they don’t overcharge for the service. I suggest getting an estimate from

Re: Stus-List 1980 C 30 MKI - DIY Lifelines

If you race, check the regs about using Amsteel. I think the concern was about the attachments; not the Amsteel itself. Amsteel may no longer be acceptable as race rigging for lifelines. If you use wire, make sure it is not covered. Use bare wire. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC

I have used the old suncor swage fittings which get marketted for landscaping and architectural applications. They were easy. When I did my lifelines I chose to use 1/4" amsteel and a locked brummel splice on both ends. The system has worked well for about 3 or 4 years. The amsteel rating was
