So for the first time yesterday while raising the main I got it stuck raised almost all the way. Couldn't get it to move in either direction so had to take the...
Did you have your boat pointed into the wind as you raised the mast? A fellow I know had this problem because he was raising the main with the boat pointed...
Another typo! I meant as you raised the main sail as the last words in the first sentence.  DOH! BS ... From: Robert Shirley <wetasocal@...> Subject:...
Yup, definitely had it pointed into the wind. Wondering if maybe I should try to find a wider block so there isn't as much space around for it to get jammed. ...
So the wire strop didn't cut through the sheave, it jumped over an edge and jammed between the sheave and the carbon tunnel? If you can't find a wider one,...
I have had this problem, although involving the rope halyard, rather than the wire strop. The rope has somehow came off the sheave and jammed between the...
Glad that at least I'm not the only one with this type of problem, well not sure if glad is the right word since I wouldn't wish this problem on anyone. I...
Can anyone tell me where to get replacement inspection port covers for the Amas in the USA? Thanks [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
The part numbers are from the Weta Marine UK Limited Spare Parts List. I assumed they were generally used, although perhaps not. I don't know where they...
Interesting - we have one boat here (18 Months old hull 470ish) in Dubai that both hatches have started to disintegrate - High temps here though. None of the...

I agree, try your local dealer first. But, the replacement covers I got from my dealer didn't fit my inspection ports (weta #147), they were too small....
perhaps a batch of hatches without UV inhibitors? plastic without it looks the same but starts crumbling much, much earlier after exposure to even moderate...
others having a crack at the small tri market seems just vaporware at the moment http://www.motivetrimarans.com/motive15.html [Non-text portions of this...
Maybe vapor, & the Weta is a nicer boat to look at, but what do you think a 25ft Weta might cost? Possibly a thought for the Kitchens after we all help market...
I was impressed with the apparent quality of the cover (& lining) when I bought my 2nd hand boat, so just added a rope across the cover in front on the forward...
Thanks for pointing that out the "Motive15." It looks interesting, but it appears that they haven't actually build one yet, since there were no pictures of a...
To any of you California Weta folk who might be sitting on the fence about this event, I was out just outside the Alamitos Bay jetty today (beach launching)...
There are 4 Wetas currently entered in the ABYC regatta set for Saturday and Sunday, this coming weekend, in the break wall-protected ocean off Long Beach, CA....
Folks--We are still hoping to pull together a Weta class for this weekend of racing. Come experience the challenging conditions on the Hudson--current, shifty...
Sailkote/McLube with a spraycan with nozzle straw. One blast, progressing from bottom to top in the track, before each sail. Bruce Fleming Akahele! # 276 Sandy...
i haven't needed to lube the bolt-rope or sail track yet but have found it very important that the sail is blowing sail straight back from the mast while...
Same here, it works great and doesnt stain the sail. I just use it once every 3 or 4 outings though. ________________________________ From: Bruce Fleming...
