Jeroen Glim's Comments

Hello,Jeroen I bought Kathleen in 2002 .She has had line lashings the entire time.I use 8 plait 4mm. polyester,with 6 wraps per lashing,so thats about 100ft per beam.the line will last for years. I recently replaced the aft beam lashings  at 5 years which I think is too long .Bunt the line actualy looked sound. The problem I have had is that the lashings the crush resin and wood allowing moisture in .  A hardwood inset on top of the beam or atleast some extra glass cloth are both good solutions . I do like the lashings they are easy to inspect and maintain, reasonably priced and most of all very secure when properly rigged. Fair winds Chris

Dag Jeroen, hoe gaat het met de bouw? ik ben inmiddels een paar jaar aan het zeilen met een langzaamaan steeds betere boot. afgelopen weekend een klein stukje terug naar de haven gezeild, 18 knopen wind, aan de wind liepen wij 13 knopen... lekker!

succes met de bouw.
