Yes, indeed this is always a very important point to look at very carefully but…how do you do that ?
I ‘ve just the same question about the standing rigging.
Everybody agrees on the fact that you must change the seacocks or the standing rigging as soon as they appear to present some weak points. But I wonder how to make that kind of verification. I suppose a lot of people just change them when they are 15 or 20 or 25 years old; or if they show any visible failure. But, what about the invisible parts. Is there a way to analyse those pieces ‘scientifically’ ?Thanks in advance for your enlighted advices.
Hi,
I do not own a Nicholson 38 but, in my collection of pictures, I remembered I saw an interesting solution to that problem. In fact, I believe it solves 3 problems: The right weight positioning, the tangling of the sheets and the exposure of the motor to external agression. I saw it on “Lady Anwyn”. The solution is to instal a motor bracket at the foot of the mizzen mast. The only pictures I have of that solution are included herebelow (they were not intended to show that solution in particular, naturally). I hope they are sufficiently self-explanatory.
My excuses for any mistake in english, I am french from mother tongue.
