[C38] Bob Stay

[Joseph Launie]

Steve,
     We are many thousands of dollars beyond your fix. We have a Seldon 
adjustable sprit which projects out 42 inches past the head stay. (PHRF 
hit us 15 seconds fo our new 19 foot J. ) We have a 1/2 oz assy chute 
made for the 19 foot J which is fast in light air.The Karver furler sits 
on the end of the Seldon. The karver needs a very tight halyard so 
pressure upward on the sprit thus the bob stay. Got a drawing from a 
J-120 from Sailing Anarchy fix-it thread.  So here we are. Joe
