I like the above ideas (and the idea of posting ideas). So, let me add a few that I saw at the INA Rendezvous back at the end of July.
Pictures are in the attached, which includes:
-
A gimballed mast-mounted radar with no additional holes in the mast required (seen on Paul Boudreau’s Thistle)
-
An alternative to mast collar clamps for mast base fairleads (seen on Jamie Keating & Megan Long’s, Baroness)
-
Cleats relocated to reduce chafing (on Brian Knoll’s, On Location)
-
Folding padeyes providing harness attachments w/o barking shins in the cockpit (also on Brian’s boat)
-
Low friction rings for topping lift control (credit to J.P. Morch)
-
Bow protection plates (I believe I saw it on Xanadu, don’t know the owner)
-
Solid horizontal crossbars on stanchions (Paul Boudreau again)
-
And, last but not least, a $1.00 solution to UV-damaged plastic cowl vents (I’m afraid I don’t have notes on whose boat)
