Rick: The part failed on a very windy day and I do not have the piece. It popped and went overboard so no weld is possible. It is not Brass but some composite...

... Mine is also the flexible type, but I have no forestay. This does cause me some concern, as I think Tom has pointed out, when it's blowing hard and the jib...
I'm still waiting for someone to reply to Tom on the depth of the new rudder design. I've decided to get one myself, but if it draws considerably more than the...
Tom, I have the new rudder on my T-22 centerboard, it was cut down so it would not be lower than the centerboard housing ( keel) The new board is like power...

There is a picture of a refit using the new rudder design in the user group files. It looks very "doable" unless you feel you need to purchase a new rudder...
The gooseneck fitting on my T8.5 failed very quickly on a windy day. The track was plastic. I replaced it with an industrial strength fixed goose neck and have...
On my T-26 there is a small line that runs from the first (upper most) sail slug on the mainsail to the bottom slug, winding its way down through all the...
After checking line continuity and fuses, it appears that my mastlight (not anchor light) is burnt out or the contacts are dirty. Before I climb the mast...
I have some kind of 2 burner alcohol stove on the Tanzer 25. It has 2 control knobs on the front and what looks like 2 round cans full of some type of cotton ...
I am wondering if it is a down haul line, used in the event that you want the sail down in a hurry. Sometimes when a sudden squall hits and you are trying to...
Sounds like it could be used to haul the main down. On my boat the main doesn't drop when I relase the halyard, I was thinking of rigging something similar. I ...
It may have been used as a main downhaul. This is useful if the slugs tend to bind in the luff groove when taking the sail down. I generally keep both a...

I have the exact stove Tony and you are 100% correct in your guesses. To fill, you must place a 'stopper' in the bottom of the canister then fill the canister...
Sorry. I had posted the two previously (luff line and mast light) but after not seeing them show up after two hours I reposted using the Yahoo site which works...
Funny that this discussion is happening now - my gooseneck track just broke a week ago and I'm dealing with fixing it. One of the bolts holding the slugs...
What the line is that you are referring to is a reefing line. It gives you slack so that the reefing cringle can reach the hooks at the goose neck. Without it...
We also have this kind of stove - a non-pressure alcohol type. One correction I'd suggest: put the stopper in the TOP outlet of the canister (the burner),...

Hi Tony ; I believe your stove is an Origo. These are one of the safest types of stove because they are not pressurized. They are a little slower to heat but...
It's an Origo 3000 by the description. I have one, it was the first new addition to Numtijah after I bought her. You can open the cover by setting both knobs...
I believe Michael has the right answer with the reefing line. The 'downhaul' goes through one of the lower cringles in the sail to pull the luff tight rather...
