Guest Gordy Hill Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Thanks for the advice Frank. Rather than choose which pictures to post I guess it would be easiest to just list the link. <A HREF="http://groups.msn.com/smallboats" TARGET="_blank">http://groups.msn.com/smallboats</A> http://groups.msn/smallboats sirgordy@peoplepc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordy Hill Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Now that I've tried it myself, try clicking on the link and when you get the home page click on "Pictures". You can enlarge the first picture and then continue to click 'next picture' for the full breathtaking effect. http://groups.msn.com/smallboats This is totally uncharted territory for me as far as computer use is concerned, so if there's a problem let me know and I'll try to straighten it out. Actually I'll try to get someone else to straighten it out. sirgordy@peoplepc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Paxton Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Thanks, Gordy. The pictures look great! paxton_consulting@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank Hagan Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Looks great, Gordy! I like the D ring lashed on to the mast for the snotter (not sure if that's in the plans or not, but its certainly a way to keep from drilling holes in the mast). You can provide a link to your album by clicking on Pictures, then the link for your album, then copying the URL in the ADDRESS bar in your browser. For reference, this link will work to take people directly to your album: http://groups.msn.com/smallboats/gordyscoresound17.msnw?Page=1 Gordy's Core Sound 17 Album on SmallBoats fshagan@ev1.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordy Hill Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Thanks Frank! The plans call for the snotter to be lashed to the mast, around the end of the sprit and back to a jam cleat on the sprit. It works quite well,but this way seems to make rigging easier and I feel I can acheive more tension (outhaul). By lashing the "D" ring to the mast I'm able to re-position it to get the sail set I want. Also, it folds flat when I wrap the sail around the mast. When I lashed it, the "D" was nice and straight. I intend to replace it with a triangle. sirgordy@peoplepc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank Hagan, Weekender, O Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Its the little things that sometimes makes a big difference ... I like to see modifications like that, even ones the builders think are minor, because they inspire people to make their own, and share them. fshagan@ev1.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannah Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Just bringing this back up to the top in case its useful to Joe. This thread was helpful to me in rigging our 14' sharpie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
