Running rigging: What could go wrong?
This month’s article from Ocean Navigator magazine should be of particular interest to GLCC members.

Spring is an excellent time to do the inspections and tips recommended in this article before setting forth on your 2025 voyages (hopefully including our anniversary Rendezvous in Little Current). Here’s to trouble-free sailing this year. – Mark Lifter
