Dave, can you be a little more specific re your comment on the balooner. I have a mizzen and a larger balooner for the forestay. Do you have 2 balooners for the forestay foil, or are you suggesting

Hi SteveAbout 3 years ago I bought a set of the duct vents direct from the factory, they were expensive I seem to remember but I couldn't find them anywhere else. I fitted the last one just last week

Hi when we have crossed ease to west we cleared out of the Med headed west getting off the African coast until we picked up the trades going south. That is generally about 75-100 nm off shore. The

Thanks, Dave.  If I was to try the barber-hauler, where would I attach it inboard?  I'm guessing that the idea is to get a better shape to the jib by bringing the clew in and easing the sheet a

This is all great info from Mango owners, I will have a look for grease points on my cables. They are quite large Morse type cables, I don't now how old they are. Looks like a big job to change

The Plastic engine blower duct vent louvered covers, marked Nicoll 100 on my Sharki are in need of replacement. Several years ago I could find these on the Nicoll website but no longer. Do anyone

Same setup on my Euros. I added a 2nd grease point from inside. Easy. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Do you have data on those cables? I would very much like to exchange mine too..

On my Mango there are twomgrease points, but the upper is facing intomthe hull, and is not accesable. I am thinking about drilling a small hole from the cockpit to be able to grease this one.

Thanks, Joel, I'm guessing that leading the clew inboard allows you to ease the sheet a bit for better sail shape?  I've not ever seen a barber hauler in action. Where would you attach it inboard?
