[Public-list] Loose screws in genoa track, 1966 boat

[Daniel Sternglass]

Hi A30 people,

By way of working with a boatyard guy to replace a 14' piece of toe 
rail, I noticed that almost every screw securing the genoa tracks on 
both sides of my 1966 boat was loose, although only 3 or 4 had the heads 
raised up visibly. Something I never checked in nearly 20 years... 
Surprisingly easy to reach the nuts underneath, as these things go. 
Putting a vice grips on them is the quick way to keep the nuts from 
turning when you tighten (or loosen) the screws. Quicker if you have 
more than one vice grips...
