I've been working on a new organization plan for the running rigging on the coach top to make it more user friendly for double handed sailing. The boat didn't have a rope clutch for the jib halyard or the spinnaker halyard, so that was first on the list for this year. I found a great deal on a Spinlock XCS double. Drilling holes in the boat is a little nauseating, but it had to be done. If you're going to embark on this task in the future, make sure you call a buddy and have a beer for him. It's pretty much impossible to hold the machine screw and tighten the nut at the same time by yourself. Whole project only took about three hours (if you count the hour it's going to take me to put the headliner back to rights).
