I have had some repairs done in the boatwright's machine shop, but we will still purchase the special bolts.

Hello, now we are replacing and repairing things at a tremendous rate!

Is hardware available for the rudder? Our pointless are worn, and the special barrel bolts did not survive disassembly.

Thanks!

Thank you, I shall sleep easier!

Hello, we are going to replace our winches with Anderson bottom handle winches-but..

How hard is access to the mounting? It looks like there is no way to get to the underside of the base. Is it through-bolted?

Thanks!

We had a lot of leaks in our boat, most under the lifeline stanchions, and one under the inboard jib track-that took some time, both to find and fix.

I imagine there are many, I hope to keep things simple. We may just go back to a boltrope-but thank you for your quick reply, it makes sense.

Well, we did put slides on the sail, but things are not as they were on our old IF. With the stop in place, the sail is held too far from the boom for reefing, and the sail stacks so high as to make it difficult to fit the cover, and it is difficult for my wife to fit the halyard. The channel for ...

Thank you! Our previous IF had sliders/travellers, and this boat has some other differences as well.

Hello,

At last we are getting close to launching our IFboat!

When we inspected our sails, we found the main was equipped only with a boltrope. Does anyone else have that on their IF?

We hope to sail soon..

Thanks, John, I'll look for a US equivalent.

Hello,

We have removed the quilted lining from the cabin on our IF, and we want to remove the old glue that remains.

We have tried mineral spirits and WD40, but it seems to be stubborn.

Is there any trick that is known?

Thank you,

Aaron

Thank you-those are very different. Is it possible to buy them frm the US? We don't have an association as far as I know. I recall replacing uppers and lowers. Many owners expressed concern about the original eyes, but I remember the originals seemed in good shape. Perhaps I'll remove and inspect ...

Hello-on our first IF we replaced the eyebolts for the chainplates with a Wichard part as recommended on the forum. I want to do it on the "new" IF. I can't find the part number. Can anybody help?

Aaron

Hello!

We are trying to decide how to stow our anchor/rode as conveniently as possible while trying to keep weight out of the bow. We will be using about 8 meters of chain with an anchor of 8-10 kilos.

Suggestions and pictures will be very welcome.

Aaron

Thank you-
We are looking for various hardware, hinges for lazarette and cockpit lockers, also perhaps an outboard bracket. I remember there was a bracket made for the IF transom.

I will try Marieholm Stromstad. Thank you again.
