[Rhodes22-list] More Newbie Questions

[Ronald Lipton]

Slim,

  Thanks for the advice.  Last week was the first time I looked carefully
at the masthead (I looked at it briefly as I was putting the mast up for the
first time last year).  I will replace the cotter pins. I also have to
replace
the masthead light and I will probably put new connectors on the VHF
antenna.  By the way, I will be removing the 175 GB furling genoa when
the weather improves to sew on a new window and add telltales.  It
looks like the best way to pull if off the foil is over the masthead fitting
so I can leave the drum alone.  I suppose it will be clear when it is warm
enough for me to look at the fittings closely.

Ron
