Hello Rael,

I like your boat, and your ingenuity.
It looks like you'll have a lot of lines to pull while sailing.

I have a small outrigger trimaran, and found out that everything that can get tangled/jam/unscrew/shake loose/get stuck etc. will, and often at a not so good moment.

It might be a good idea to secure all you shackles/turnbuckles with a retaining ring or use loctite ?

I wish you nice sailing (quite soon hopefuly) and look forward to the video's.

Cheers, Hans

Thanks Hans, I usually tighten shackles with a pair of pliers.... never had a problem. but yea why not a drop of loctite will be spot on.
Sailing very soon!!!!
