Tensioning the halyard or cunningham have slightly different affects on sail shape. The halyard tends to close the leech, the cunningham tends to open the leech.

Gorgeous. I have always loved Faireys in that style.

It may be of interest to some of you, but with sadness in my heart I report that Seajet's dad died a few days ago. He was nearly 100 so not unexpected, but as you know Seajet was very close to him.

Either would work, but adding an adaptor plate would raise the winch, which may adversely affect the lead of the sheet to the drum of the winch.

I would like to congratulate you on providing two brilliant restoration stories, probably the best seen on these hallowed pages. There have been many projects that from day one we knew would eventually die, so to see somebody who has two on the go at the same time is inspiring. Unlike many of...
