Mainsheet Components
Has anyone created a list of parts that go into the mainsheet block system that sits at the center of our travelers? I am thinking I should put together a spares kit considering the age of my system.

Re: Crew Manager Software
Oh, and it you have a problem with TeamSnap, you are SOL getting a support ticket answered the same week. With Crew Manager Bill answers the same day, if not within minutes of posting a question.

Re: long delay before water exhausts
To close the thread, the problem turned out to be a loose v-belt between the pump and engine.

Re: Cabin top halyard tail bags
I meant the question to be about the window, having used windows for ropes, I am imagining this maintenance task of the seals is in my future
Where to get the parts, what labor and tools is involved to do it myself, what to look out for, how much time does it take?

Re: Cabin top halyard tail bags
Blue Performance has very good halyard bags that came with our J/109, but we have migrated to sending the lines down the windows and companionway at the urging of our sailmaker, and have found no downside to that.
