I have been crewing on Dave Barlow's C&C 115 Koobalibra for the past
three seasons.  We have had a lot of issues with the factory barrells as
the set screws rust in place and other issues.  Is very difficult to
adjust rig tension with this setup.  Yes still rod rigging.
 
Another 115 is now called Pandora and was Triumph - owned by Peter
Bromley and also at RNSYS.  I believe he changed to wire and open
turnbuckles a few years ago.
 
Sandy MacMillan of North Sails contacted Dave and has a plan to change
over the turnbuckles to something more workable.  We are lucky since
North Sails locally took an interest in the C&C 115 fleet and hosted a
tuning seminar in May for the three 115s at RNSYS with Andreas
Josenhans, Sandy MacMilaln and one other 115 sailmaker out of Florida.
Andreas also watched the entire premier fleet including the 115s at the
Prince of Wales race in September of this year.  Lots of photos and
suggestions for making the boats go faster and the crews sail better.  
 
Great boats to sail esp in 13-18 knots!

North Sails Atlantic is reworking the turnbuckles on the 115 we sail on.
We are meeting with them tommorrow.  If anyone is interested I can
update on what type of system is replacing the barrels currently in use.
