[C320-list] Search for a good fairlead

[Irv Grunes]

Rod and Lamar.
We mounted all the jiffy reefing on the port side.
Kept the Starboard side reefing hook for the cunningham.
Those triangle thingies are 1" welded stainless triangle loops of 3/16th
wire. Theyare nice because they lay flat on starboard side of the sail.

  I would also love to see pictures or a diagram of your setup. I put blocks
(1st reef) on my Cat 28 and they work great, especially when it's blowing.
The 320 has a different reefing setup compare to the Cat 28 so any help
would be great. Thank you, John Mesa Holokai 2

  Hi Lamar,

 I would be interested in the photos if you get the chance. You will have to
send them to my email as the list will strip them. Thanks.
