Control lines in more detail

Hi some have asked for pictures of my rudder setup which apparently is a non standard fixture. I attach these below. There are two cords associated with this mechanism; one for letting down the rudder (which has the red ball) and the other for pulling up (which has a green ball) attached to cord to ...

After due consideration and the comments provided here I decided to stick with my old outboard arm and replace the mounting board on the transom with timber, found a local carpenter workshop who created a replica - total cost of job $10.00. Used hardwood, a coat of oil and bingo should be good for a...

So Mark, just to confirm, you have your stormy on a a staysail position? Peter Peter - I have it on a separate Halyard connected to a furler, the forestay sits in front of it.

I found this out when I connected the solar charger directly to the system and it blew an old wire I didn't reali...
