Crazyhorse crc don’t make it , they used to do a griptred some years ago but rules and safety crap stoped them. The product is tredgrip rubberised non slip coating from A&I coatings I have a gallon here as back up , just clean off roll three coats on , drys fast so you can do two in a day I will try to send a pic

With there keel config and mast head rig is a hard one , maby the first thing to do is up the boom length and cut down the jibs to just over lap the mast a foot or two , the main is the thing to work on with these boats Generating power , it’s a head sail power boat , main stable , , a fully battened , tension batton , roach main would help with a wide headboard , my boat was same large over lap headsails, on a fractional rig , I started with a new main and generated speed and all the jibs just lap the mast , totally different boat very quick in a blow and in 5 kts just heal it and off it goes ,I can do 7s in 18 knots hard on But down wind is a sacrifice depending how well you set the gear, but the big main comes into play , the cav has a full body so maby hard to crank up

We have a very good freezer, in fact to good , so she found a chunk of polystyrene layed over the frozen stuff leaves the top half for the fridge area. Works well ,but if you have a enough room you can fit a door on the side of the freezer box leaving a thin layer of the freezer wall between to to the cooling and that works. But finding a fridge door. ,or having one made is an issue

If it’s a Bukh tie a chain around it and ,leave it in your favourite bay to anchor off next your there .

Sail it back and say nothing
-
Replaced the back stay tensioner rope , The Inner core had parted and I knoticed it was getting longer , so may have saved the mast

The two main designers here that had supplied sailors and launch types in this country , and take a walk down most marinas you will see there boats are Wright and Pelin not for getting some others , young but production was minimal and these boats are holding up well today

The correct sanitary pipes are a must I have learned the hard way as some will still , the clear pipe will start inverting or sucking inwards after a few weeks I found the clips bit into the plastic , and bends were not even , buy the real stuff ,
