[C38] Hello from SMX! (wasRe: Hello from Bermuda)

[Joseph Launie]

Dave,
    While you are off sailing, a lot of us are doing our annual re-fit. 
My standing rigging is now 18 years old and I do not want to push my 
luck. I had rod rigging on my Olson 30 and loved it. Has anyone put rod 
rigging on a 38? Anyone know the pros and cons of rod versus regular 
rigging? JoeLaunie/Macavity

I dont recommend pulling your tracks just before the rainy season..trivia question: anyone know how many fasteners hold down the five tracks?  90! and they all leaked, nothing worked at keeping the water out.   So needless to say Very envious on this end!  Cant wait to see the photos.
