[C320-list] Speaking of Dutchman...

Jon, Here's my trick.   When the sail is flaked normally,  use a black marker to make a dot on the face of the dutchman disks that face up.  This way you can thread the lines with the sail flaked on the boom. The marks help you be sure to feed the line UP through each disc and out the side with the dot.

Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to replace the lines? I
still have the original lines and plan on replacing them this weekend. Since
I plan on putting the sails on this weekend J I was wondering if it is
easier to rethread the new lines before the sail goes on or before?? Any
suggestions would be appreciated!

 

I'm obviously in the pro-dutchman camp-in my opinion the only better option
I have experienced is a furling boom, but that will have to wait until my
next boat..
