What a crap day, sorry it happened.

I would recommend titanium instead of bronze or stainless. Do it one right and never think about them again. Plus you can fill the slot between the hull and chainplates with epoxy to permanently seal...

The only composite chainplates I have seen are built integral to the hull. Where the carbon uno was interlaced with the carbon that makes up the hull itself. I have never seen anyone try to...

I went ahead and upgraded the 30mm to a 40mm block which has helped a lot. The biggest question now is how long of a pennant I can leave of the smaller line.
The goal is to always grasp the larger...

So you would just use the whipping to smooth the transition?

Brion,
So your recommendation would be to just run the 3mm as a core inside the Salsa? It would be a much cleaner installation so I am intrigued, but I'm not sure how it would work.
