... I think I have good 530 top as I broke the bottom last summer to 2 differrent X9s and put the good 1/2(s) with all my other broken/used pryde stuff. I...
More to ponder.... I have re-rigged broken masts to sail in at least 5 times. The re-rigging is frustrating and tiring and takes half an hour or so. But...
