Jib Bottom |
|
with sail re-enforcements. This where the grommet should be a little closer to front of the jib and the ringging line needs to pull the jib toward the front of the boat a bit more. |

Mast Top |
|
I need to figure how those EC-12 guys make those wind direction idicators they have on the top of their masts. |

Left is sail control, right is rudder. Rudder self centers. |

Radio compartment leak. |
|
This is a re-caulk where the radio compartment had a hole on this corner due to a poor caulk job by manufacturer. |

Sail control fix. |
|
Originally there was not a retainer where you see a piece of rubber tubing. Without the retainer the sails would get out of adjustment. |

Control Line |
|
Jib and Main Sail control lines hook into boom and jib bottom with z-bend and get locked in place with o-ring. |

Rudder Control |
|
The clevis is a replacement as is the control rod. The original clevis was plastic and broke. The new clevis was too big for the original control rod so it is a replacement too. |

Sail Corner |
|
Sail is mylar. One side is shiny while the other looks and feels a little like very lightweight tyvek. |
|

Side Stays Clip |
|
Originally the line attached to the clip was tied directly to side stay wire. The wire is so fine that it tends to cut the rigging line. So the solution has been to use a clip through the side stay wire. |

Vang and Keel |
|
The vang helps keep the mast horizontal, but you don't want to keep it too tight or the sail can't form an aerofoil shape. Keel is secured by turning the lock 90 degrees. |
