Hi - sorry for the delay in responding - I had missed the notification that a reply came in. As for the spreader issue, I think I have worked out a solution - wrapped the shroud just below the spreader with some tape to provide support. Did a long sail yesterday and seemed to hold. Will continue to monitor it.

Also had a question for you - some of my regular crew who come out cruising with me are itching to do some racing. Are there some informal races in Singapore - I have heard about twilight races? Though I've done a decent amount of racing, I'd like to start small with something not too competitive since my crew are all pretty new to the sport. Any guidance is appreciated. Cheers and happy holidays, Jon

Hmmm. Not sure who I would recommend - Where are you based? I am currently in the US and get back next week. Not sure I even remember my spreader post - LOL...

Hi Ex-Calif - saw your post about drooping spreaders on the forum. I'm based in Singapore as well with the same problem on my Jeanneau. Do you know of any riggers in town? Would be nice to have the pros look at this one if possible. Thanks, Jon
