    Class Politics  New ISAF ILCA Plaque

    Came across a picture of one, I would say a definite caveat emptor until the current dispute is resolved. This is on a UK built boat (the boat is currently for sale, advertised as never having been in the water).

    New mainsheet - any recommendations?

    Well after sailing this past weekend I noticed my long suffering mainsheet is finally showing sign of wear meaning I will soon need to replace it. I currently have (I think) a very early Rooster polilite. It has done 5+ years of sterling service and does not seem to tangle as badly as other...

    End for End Top Section question

    Hi all, I have discovered that my long suffering top section has got a slight bend in it. I am intending to end for end it but I have 1 question. Do you put the old rivet holes in tension or compression (i.e. should the bent bit point forwards or backwards?) I did a search but couldn't see...
