[Rhodes22-list] Retrieval of Boat by Captain Slik

[Claude Cox]

Hi Ed;

Does securing the spreaders to the grab rail put too much torque on their 
connection at the mast?  I have the rachet nylon straps--just have to figure 
an easy way to secure them to the trailer.  Glad to know the GBI way of 
securing the stays.

Slik works for me.  And I'll remember your caution about old men.

Claude
