Thanks Mike, as far as I can gather this particular boat (386 formerly of Port Arlington) hasn’t been competitively sailed for a long while, hence the stainless steel retaining clip for the rudder box.

I’ve replaced the v-cleat with a new one (because it seemed logical to use the holes that were already in the foredeck), and it seems to hold the halyard alright (the other one had some tooth wear patches that seem to indicate it was a few seasons past it’s use-by).

As for the other quirks in the setup (particularly this shackle on a pivot), i’m open to all suggestions, otherwise I’ll see if i can get down to Blairgowrie in the next week or two to check out the setup on the remaining Sabres there.

Thanks again guys,
Hugh
