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."

Picture: Skedaddle being lowered onto the Cradle-Trailer combo that I use to transport the boat. It came back to Minnesota from the East Coast on this rig and back and forth to the lake many times. Works real well for this purpose and doubles as a car trailer when I have to haul my MG somewhere (during the summer when the boat is in the water).

Re: Sheave boxes and sheaves
I think I have the 3350 section. It looks like they use the same hardware. [cid:image001.gif@...] Trevor Harney Senior Cadd Designer I PBS&J

Re: Sheave boxes and sheaves
Hi Trevor, Another common routing problem you might see is having the halyards exit the sheave box and drop down the mast on the forward side of the spreader

Re: Sheave boxes and sheaves
One more thought on sheave boxes and friction. When I got my boat there was tremendous friction in the jib halyard and there was an oversized winch mounted on
