THE WINDWARD MARK

Rodger Widmann

(CS40) Quintessence Raced very well this year. Read about Rodger’s races and story of events in the fourth newsletter. The CS40 is a beautiful boat and Rodger knows how to sail her well. Good luck with next year ‘s racing as well!

HINTS ‘N HELPERS

Some interesting articles in this years Hints ‘N Helpers with the “Case against Isolators” by Gary Schwartz. The article by Charlie Mayne with “Useful Tools” was very helpful and easy to do. After inspection Anton found a cracked sheave in the turning block. The article “Replacing Sheave in Turning Blocks” help make it easier to do it now and to check these blocks. Other helpful hints were “Cleaning the Float Coats”, by David Seheult and the “Water & Ice”, by Carolyn Gamble will come in handy during the sailing season. An end of season “Complete Bukh Oil Change”, by Anton is involved BUT complete. A good start for next season.
