Seemingly small change that will have a large impact. The fasteners did take me 3 attempts to get the length correct. Otherwise it was quick and easy. M4x50mm by the way and nylock nuts.
This is my blog of my sailing "adventures". Not all that adventurous at the moment as I am mainly on metro/city lakes but, you never know when I might venture out somewhere..... The boat? A 1992 Beneteau First 235. Hull #421.

Sometimes it is the little things
Just a quick post here as there has been less sailing than wanted this season. Was off the water for about 9 weeks, the reason will be explained in a forthcoming post. But, I made a small upgrade to the traveller system by adding cages to the cam cleats. This will help the main trimmer a lot as they allow almost 90 degrees of lock/unlock angle. Will be very useful when single handing as well.

Also useful for braking during high-load jibes. I had the plastic version and the rope cut it in half within a few months.
