[C320-list] Mainsail to slides

[CDickhut2 at aol.com]

Mike -
I had 4 straps break this season.  Jury rigged them with cable ties.  Never 
liked the way the slides were attached in the first place. I always  thought 
the slides had a tendency to twist making raising the sail difficult. At  the 
end of the season I took the sail to a local sailmaker and had the straps  
replaced with a regular attachment. The attachment at the battens looks very  
strong. Should make raising the sail much easier next year.
