It was the last day of my vacation and my stbd jib traveler broke off completely!! The 16 is a '95. It has the itegrated track so I bought a set of the Ronstan "2004 Worlds Style" tavelers with the brass wheels, but the wont fit in the track!! I dont know what to do exept return them and buy a set of the older style "all plastic" traveler.
Any thoughts? should the new travelers fit?? Its not even close and I am not gonna use any more force!

I've retrofitted my '98 with the newer style all plastic (no wheels) - no problem.

Send me your name / address / phone via e-mail to mbouds(at)comcast.net & I'll send you the stripped down stbd car, gratis. It's just collecting dust in a box here.

I'm an old Fleet 221 (Richmond) member, so I've got a soft spot for you guys.

How bored are you at work??
What's the deal with the 17's? You're not registered.

Sarah drove last night in the fleet race and did very well.
I might have to put her on the 14 for Geneva.

Don't even go there. :roll:

I'm not racing the 17's - I'm the RC (with PU).

Matt,

Is you email address exactly like you wrote it, or is there an "n" missing on purpose? I sent and email to "mbounds", let me know if you got it!
Thank you again!


Chopper - are you a member of the BSC? If so, I would LOVE to talk to you some more about becoming a member. Can non-members race in the regatta?

I'm betting that he mis-spelled his name. He was headed out to a regatta on Friday.

cheers
