Title: Some interesting things.
Post by: MacGyver on July 16, 2014, 11:16:29 PM
Here is a few interesting things I found, like this sail, how cool would that be to have? I mean, WOW..... Especially for out USA MADE boats!!

This sail, I found the logo is on itself, so it matches up on both sides, which I thought wasnt a good idea to till I saw this, so now I might do it on my own sails....... I wonder if the ComPac logo will do that......

Lastly, I found this on a Grampian sailboat at the marina when I was walking docks. What a interesting way to fasten the forestay!

I guess that one guy is thinking "No one better steal my forestay or mast this time!"
