the sand/grit problem was something a PWA guy told about why he had both. racers tend to have lotsa rigs ready to go in really windy, and sometimes sandy spots that's when american cup is better.
i have aeron euro pins. very little problems _________________ www.aerotechsails.com

You have tougher fingers than I. The only joint I'll use with a 2-bolt is mechanical, any misalignment binds it right up. |
