[Rhodes22-list] Oooooo my first storm damage!

[Tom Van Heule]

Hey list,

We went out today as a sneaky long lunch...
It was supposed to be 7-11 but was more like 15-18kts.

The outhaul car linkage plate fix worked splendidly.

We did fine; no sinking, no yelling.  But we noticed the telltails were
whipped off the main during the incident that I started this thread with.

How do I get new tells installed onto the sail? Etc? Do I need to climb? ??m

Thanks all!  Had a great time heeled over.
