PETER What is the name of your D41? We hear really good things about Strong track for full batten sails. It might make it easier to get the sail up and down. We could not retro fit to our Metal Mast sticks but might work on Annapolis Spars if you have a later boat than our 1974 D 41.

D 41Unfortunately, we have plenty of experience with rot. Don says “rot never sleeps”. You say the rot is in your hull, where? We have replaced planks in ours and may be able to advise.

dndonwogs@gmail.comSOUTHERN CROSS came through hurricane Irene in her little hurricane hole located in Oriental North Carolina with flying colors. There was 9.5 feet difference from the high water to the low water. Pretty impressive. Gusts were reported at 137 mph but our TacTick wind instrument only showed 55 knots. (it is a good hurricane hole) We have photos if you are interested.
