Sailing Inconceivable - 5 years ago

Well done, Skipper. One other line life extender: Secure lines to prevent them flogging. While that "tink tink tink" may be a familiar marina sound, it actually indicates a future trip to the chandlery to replace a prematurely worn spinnaker halyard (or worse, a mast head sheave).

Absolutely. Plus, nothing worse than trying to get sleep when living aboard (or at anchor) with slapping halyards all around. Wears on the line and on the nerves! Thanks for your comments.
