2-15-25: Gerry Hutchins, founder of Com-Pac, has crossed the bar and headed west.

Sincere condolences to his family, and a huge "Thank You!" to Gerry from all of us, I'm sure.
Requiescat in pace.

Anyone know what those stainless steel parallel bars located on the back side of the mast below the boom are for?  Must be there for a reason.

They are sail guides. They allow your boom to be lowered down and raised for folding without the sail slugs getting hung up when you raise and lower the boom.

Well, Butch, since no one has challenged your hypothesis....
Thanks.
