DCA Rally - Coniston

Repaired gaff jaws worked perfectly

 

Gaff Jaws

Over time most things suffer from fatigue and certainly the gaff jaws can suffer. But the real mistake was lowering and raising the mast without ensuring the gaff did not twist. It would have been better to either remove the gaff or tie it to the mast, so both were lowered/lifted together. This later method does increase the weight when handling the mast.

A local motorcycle repair works did a great job while I waited.

 

Three go to the Broads
