Ooooopppssss. Here is the picture of the rust stains and UGLY shaped
stern. http://www.yyc.or.jp/pages/members/BravoRadio.jpg Notice how the stern had to be squared off so fat lubbers can crawl and flop aboard a stage. Hey Robspirt... couple of tips here. http://www.oceanfenders.com/pp9.jpg A proper shaped stern ......And rubber baby bumpers that you can order and get before you Un-shrink wrap your daysailor.

I really, really, really think that's a bad place for a backstay.

No history of problems with that backstay. It's set into a massive hung of glass and is bulletproof. And.... http://www.floridaboats.net/images/3.../slides/5.html No rust stains though I've seen such stains on premium boats with so-called SS hardware. RB 35s5 NY |

It's still not a good spot. It doesn't look "bulletproof" to me. Seems like
it would potentially interfere with using the platform. Certainly not my first choice for a cruising boat unless you don't own the boat... e.g., a bareboat. I'm also wondering if the extra length would increase the spring loads on the mast and the rest of the rigging. In Joe's post, it sure looks like rust stains to me. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... I really, really, really think that's a bad place for a backstay.

Typical broker trick, Spray the running rust with ospho and it dissappears until exposed to salt water again. you can clearly see dis-coloration around the base of your backstay, just wait until you get salt water on it again. Joe |

Could be rust just from the screws in the deck-plate. Seahag |

Thats what I'm thinking, the screws or bolts to the backstay plate for
sure. You can see the same rust on most 35s5's...Must be cheap french steel. Joe |

High quality French steel from melted down rifles.

It's set into a massive hung of glass and is bulletproof. No history? You mean those saddle clamps are stock? An improvement over the stock fixture? I would say those clamps are a history of problems! Nice, deep coloured wood interior on your boat, though. Is that some type of rich mahogany or some other exotic wood? Amen! |
