Stus-List Sailing with main topping lift

A main topping lift serves two primary purposes: 1) opening the top of the main to create more twist and 2) holding the boom up when the mainsail is not hoisted. In my opinion, the former is more suited to a rigid boom vang or boomkicker. If either are properly installed, they should raise the bo

I spent some time on the web researching aGPS vs GPS and saw the same info. aGPS found in many tablets and cellphones is, in fact, satellite-based GPS. aGPS simply uses cell towers to speed up the intitial fix. Having said that, in an offshore distance race a couple years ago, several boats used

Re: Stus-List Rebuild suggestions for Atomic IV

Inspect the side plates and their sealing surfaces. In particular, inspect the thickness of the metal rim that the side plates are fastened to. Raw water cooled AT4's can be subject to loss of material if they sat for a while and oxygen supported corrosion in that area. Dennis C. On Sat, Oct 10
