[Alberg30] stays'l and jib boom

[John Shell]

Alan,
   I saw a photo of ANDANTE # 152 in Good Old Boat Magazine (issue 15)  She's beautiful, I hope I can get the SORCERESS to shine like that.  One question:  Won't painting your prop, I assume it's bronze, with anti fouling paint (cuprous oxide based) cause your prop to degrade grom the galvanic corrosion?  I've heard of them honey combing and shattering after a few years.
   As far as the chainplate for the inner headstay, I have a bulkhead between the V berths and the chain locker, I was planning on re-enforcing it and attaching the chainplate to that and then running an extension of the stay to the stem.  In theory, that should provide ample strength. The stay will be disconnected and lashed to the mast when not needed.
   I already have short sail tracks set inboard of my shrouds that I assume can be used for the stays'l and I have 4 sheet winches in the cockpit.
