Doug,

 

Thanks for the follow up info.  I enjoy reading how C&C mysteries are solved.

 

On Calypso, to prevent the boom from swinging like a late 40’s Bebop band I 
have pulled the traveler hard over to one side then used a light line to hold 
some tension from the other.

 

Also when at anchor with a side wind I used the foreguy attached to the 
spinnaker pole track and applied some pressure forward to prevent “UFO” type 
pumping of the mast.

Stus-List Edson Acquired

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

Oh well, looks like they will be in caring hands.

 

Edson Marine, the New Bedford, Mass.-based manufacturer of marine pumps, 
steering systems and a wide range of accessories has been acquired, the company 
said in a statement 

 , by Chip Johns. 

A one-time owner of Vanguard Sailboats and former member of the Sail America’s 
Board of Directors, Johns’ involvement in the marine industry dates back well 
over three decades. 

“Edson will continue to keep its roots firmly planted in quality, customer 
service and innovation,” Johns said. “[We] have an exceptional team, with an 
unrivaled product line and reputation that we will continue to make even 
better.” 

The company, which was founded in 1859, was acquired from the Keene family — 
the elder Henry and his two sons, Will and Hank, have been with Edson for more 
than 60 years. 

CEO Adam Cove, who joined Edson in 2016, will remain on board. 

“I am excited about the passion and expertise Chip Johns brings to the 
company,” said Cove. “He has all the tools and experience to lead Edson into 
its next chapter.”

Calypso is out at PT’s big marina yard parked between the marina office and the

I will be there this afternoon sanding on some repairs to the stern. Calypso’s

Chip is a good guy and a life long one design and big boat sailor.  As a former 
Edson employee, I’m very happy the company didn’t get purchased by some private 
equity firm looking to trim the fat and flip the company to somebody looking to 
own a marine company as a hobby job.

Will and his brother Hank never viewed their tenure with Edson as ownership.  
They preferred to use the term stewardship to keep the traditions and history 
of a very old and diverse company moving through to the future.

Wishing Chip and company to continue to innovate and provide the same high 
standards of quality and customer service as his predecessors.

Stus-List Rod rigging question

I have a question for you engineer types.  I recently
noticed a nick in one of my rod rigging shrouds.  I don't know much about
rod rigging failure considerations, but I do recall reading awhile back that
nicks are bad.  Is there anything that can be done (short of replacement) to
address a nick to make a failure less likely?

 

As always, thanks in advance.
