[C320-list] Free Dutchman Flaking system parts...

[Guy Smith]

Hey All!
I switched to a new Stack Pack made by Chesapeake Sail Makers this Spring.
The old mainsail cover was original and would rip with the lightest touch on a sharp edge.I wasn't happy with the Dutchman system because the longer battens would hook the aft flaking line on the hoist fairly often and I'd snap the line a few times a season.
My wife and I don't race Pleiades (except when there's another sailboat heading the same direction :)), so any performance we might loose because to the pouch will not trouble us...
So, anyway, we have the plastic flaking cars and the lower adjuster jam cleat that attaches to the Boom. A few seasons ago, I had the sail maker cut the Main to be loose footed, so I have two flaking line pockets with the bolt rope still attached also.
Let me know if you want them and I'll ship it to ya free!I hate to throw away gear that some else might find useful...
Fair winds,~g
