The new Ullman genoa was delivered back in March and was in use for the Meyedenbauer Yacht Club Spring Regatta. The delivery of the new main was delayed by a few weeks but made it to Seattle in time for the first race of the Lake Spring Series. When we put it on it was apparent that the Winchard shackle (left) that fit the old UK Sails main wasn't going to work. We had a spare shackle on board that we were able to squeeze over the headboard, just barely. The day after the race I went to Fisheries and purchased the Ronstan shackle (right). It's the simple things that make life better. Now my Winchard shackle key has been retired to light duty (bottle opener).
