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:

  1. A gimballed mast-mounted radar with no additional holes in the mast required (seen on Paul Boudreau’s Thistle)

  2. An alternative to mast collar clamps for mast base fairleads (seen on Jamie Keating & Megan Long’s, Baroness)

  3. Cleats relocated to reduce chafing (on Brian Knoll’s, On Location)

  4. Folding padeyes providing harness attachments w/o barking shins in the cockpit (also on Brian’s boat)

  5. Low friction rings for topping lift control (credit to J.P. Morch)

  6. Bow protection plates (I believe I saw it on Xanadu, don’t know the owner)

  7. Solid horizontal crossbars on stanchions (Paul Boudreau again)

  8. 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)
