[Public-list] Request for setup photos

Roger,  I own Quest,  #433 which I purchased about ten years ago.  Since 
that time I have done extensive work on the deck, sailhandling, anchor, 
canvas etc.  Some of the work was recommended and performed by 
professional riggers in Annapolis,  other items simply evolved to ease 
singlehanding.  I occasionally race the boat so I have tried not to make 
too many changes that compromise her ability to race.  For example all 
spinnaker hardware and controls are in place including a fabricated 
masthead bail that was installed to accommodate the Schaffer roller 
furling system.   I have two cabintop winches that serve seven clutches 
for main and spinnaker halyards,  rigid vang, spinnaker pole toping lift, 
outhaul, and slab reefing. Some purists and racers may prefer hank on 
foresails and mast led halyards but I have found that for my purposes the 
tradeoffs are worth the ease and safety when singlehanding. 

I have some photos on file but plan to be at the boat this weekend and can 
take additional shots if you're interested.    Drop me a quick email off 
line if you're interested.
