Description

We began the club as a tool to keep our Skedaddle crew members informed of our boat's activities and it has evolved into a forum for discussion of Merit 25's.

I invite anyone to send me photos and I will post them as the Home Page Photo. Use the Messages page to ask questions, provide information, etc. You must become a member to post messages or photos or view the Club's address book.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination, or whether you reach somewhere else or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."

Re: spreader bracket
Since we're talking about mast failures, of those who have lost a rig did you determine what the cause was? I was recently in a race on an F-27 trimaran and

Re: spreader bracket
Interesting. My first mast failed at the hole for the steaming light wire. ________________________________ From: skedaddleyachtclub@yahoogroups.com

Re: spreader bracket
The J 24 rig has a much deeper spreader angle and taper than the Merit section. Using a through bar on the Kenyon section should not cause structural issues. I
