First, my goto racing 155's have been a North Mylar/Kevlar triradial and a

I really like the Seatalk-ng or NMEA 2000 networks for their simplicity and
that is part of the reason I went with Raymarine for the chartplotter. I could

Guys one other option is the āBoom Breakā which is what we ended up using

traditional sense it does significantly slow the jibe over the cockpit.
The advantage with this system is that in all but the heaviest weather you

Before you get too enamored with Sri Lanka factory QA/QC
procedures, my North chute is about two years old and was made in Sri Lanka.
We first put it up during a race with the local North rep on board. The sail
number was three digits. Three out of five aināt bad.
Interesting. Which product did you use?

Might be more of an issue with North. I hope I have better luck with the
Quantum factory.
Again, I liked my old Pentex made by a then unaffiliated local loft better
than my North.

On a possibly related topic, I have a few lines on my boat that have inner
cores that do not melt. Unlike with my Sta-Set lines, I canāt use a hot knife
to cut and melt the inner core and outer jacket together. There used to be a
product called Whip-end Dip (or something) for sealing the ends

I use epoxy to secure Touche's headsail pre-feeder to the furler
extrusion. I tie it with a few hitches then coat/soak it with epoxy.
I woulld think regular epoxy would be a bit hard for the ends of sheets,
halyards, etc. but G-Flex might work.

Just for clarity, I meant that when the frigde is set to its lowest
setting, I meant the warmest setting. Previously, that setting would only
cool to about 45 degrees, not 41.

I am very happy with my cruising white sails from Doyle, made here in
Massachusetts two seasons ago. I got a 135 furling reef-able headsail and a
full batten main with two reef points. The only issue so far was a bit of
stitching coming loose in the leach of the headsail and I took it back for
