[C320-list] Cabinet latches

Tue Oct 4 14:56:38 PDT 2011

If the latch you need is a Perko 1021 I found them at Grand Slam Sports and 
Outdoors through Amazon.com. They cost $5.19 (for 2). The freight was $8.05.

When I was a kid, I lived near Michigan City and loved to sail my Laser 
when the wind was out of the north and the waves were really big. The 
trick was getting out beyond the breakers. Now that I am older and 
wiser, I know to stay out of weather like that...

Wondering if anyone has suggestions on where to get messenger lines for
halyards that have a diameter large enough to not jump the sheaves, yet
inexpensive? In the past I have saved my old halyards and used those, but
when I traded boats I ended up getting rid of them. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jon Vez

Yea, I need to do that myself next spring.

How about good old clothsline? Keep light pressure on lines as they are
pulled back and forth so they stay on the rollers.

What specific purpose do you have for them?  If it's for keeping your
halyards out of the weather during the winter, here's what I do.

I tie the end of the topping lift to the end of Main halyard and make the
knot fairly good sized.  (Do the same for the Genoa/Spin halyards).

>From Home Depot, I buy a 100' bag of nylon rope.  Maybe it's 3/16" braided
or something like that for ~$5.  I one end to the main halyard knot and pull
the halyards down until the knot is snug at the top of the mast.  Then I tie
the other end of that cord to the Genoa/Spin halyard knot and haul those
lines down.  Cut the cord if you like.  I usually tie one off to a cleat on
the lower aft shroud and the other to a cleat on the forward lower cleat and
snug them up so they don't whip around.

Been doing this since 2001 with great results.  I tend to use a new line
each year, and recycle the old one for tying the cover laces down..

Brilliant Jeff....sounds like a great way to go! Yes, my purpose is to keep
the lines out of the weather. Especially since my main halyard is a D$neema
braid....Thanks!

I just finished my halyards last week. ( washed,cut, flop, etc). I used a 1/4" 
messenger line. I sewed the two lines together, than put electric tape to make 
the two edges smooth. I have used both sail thread (strong) and dental floss to 
sew the lines.  Also, make sure you sew a least 6 stitches between the two 
lines. Learned from a old salt a long time ago. Good luck. John  Holokai 2

Does anyone know where to get a replacement latch for the galley cabinets over 
the stove?
