Re: Stus-List Doyle Stack Pack or Mack Pack?

Hi Tim, I don't really have a recommendation except to get to a good sized boat show and try to talk to a few lofts to get some boat show discounts. I think I saved about $1200 on two sails from a very reputable loft that way. I hit 15% off. I still priced out other local lofts and it really

This is literally a 10 minute job if you don’t count the time to go buy the sockets. Don’t stress over it. One thing you do need to check is the backing plates. Mine were steel and well on their way to dissolving, so I got them remade in stainless and lived happily ever after. Joe Coquina C&C 3

Patrick My two thoughts on this are: 1. If you use something like “Git Rot” then you will always have in the back of your mind that there is a compromised section of wood in your boat. You will never feel it was fixed and will not be happy 2. If the rot is at the bottom of the bul

@Dave, I think you're probably right.
