Adding piece of Profurl Extrusion

[Heli-Pilot]

Hey Brion, Roy here again. New piece of extrusion with accompanying bits arrived late today, so I'll be adding to the Profurl tomorrow as well as installing the whisker stays-Hayn Terminals, of course,(staysail stay and both bob-stays; I already installed--came out very nice. Fortunately, I paid attention when we re-rigged her two years ago. Following the instructions helped, too--imagine that). Another rigger in your part of the Sound installed the Profurl originally and did not install a partial piece of extrusion at the top--5 full-length pieces only--with one result being that the foil was about a foot and a half short of optimal length for position with the Darth Vader wrap-stop and short of the foremast top. I will attempt to rectify all that this time around--measure twice; cut once. Once done tomorrow, measurements for the sailmaker and the new jib should be finished by month's end. This should take care of Prudence's severe weather helm issue (this new 'sprit was built from original Alden plan) due to Lyn Skoog (many prior owners back whacking off 6' of her original 'sprit thereby eliminating one headsail). Also, Tuesday she's getting a 3-blade Featherstream Darglow prop thus getting rid of that 4-blade fixed drogue we've been towing around. All this in hopes of a proper performing vessel. Hope to have all projects complete and be there for the Festival's schooner race.
