[Rhodes22-list] Slim's Launch

Slim:

Great that you are back on the water.

So where are the pictures?  Did you take any pictures of the chain plate
before, during and after?  For that matter where are the pictures of the
Mississippi?

As to changing the stern rail, one big problem is running the wires thru the
tubing for the lite.  Did your man try a pipe bender?  Anyway, after you
decide what to do, if you change it, have the bent piece framed as sailing
art.

Did you invite Roger over for inspection?  Maybe now is the time to invite
Rummy out for a sail since the only boat he seems to have is a jet ski.

Addendum:  The expression prier (alt. priar) is in use still in NW Norway on
simple square riggs and aboard Danish replica Viking ships – it is a line
which runs from the middle of the sail body to the mast (and again to the
sail and back, using a block system) and thence to the deck from where it is
serviced. Its use seems to be to haul the sail body close to the mast for
efficiency when sailing close to the wind, and also to spill the wind from
the sail when sailing afore the wind.
