Ken
 
Are you part of Dave's Cape Breton crew or do you have your own boat in
Baddeck?
 
We took the shrouds off at noon today and DAve is dropping them off to
Sandy at North tommorrow.  Am hoping they fit with some sort of open
turnbuckle or something else equally simple
 
Note that we plan to take our J27 to BRW next summer rather than doing
Charolottetown Race week.   Our friends had their C&C 99 there this year
and really liked the format
 
Mike

Hi Mike, 

I'd like to see a few photos of what Sandy comes up with, mostly out of
curiosity.  Would you mind taking a photo or two, perhaps once the
change is made?  I'll eventually see the end result on Koobalibra in the
Bras d'Or this summer but by then I'll probably have forgotten Dave had
the turnbuckles changed.

        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!

        I am interested.  Which 115 do you sail on?

        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.
