I have been following the thread on stepping the mast. My DSIII is the pin type. No one has mentioned
losing these pins! I have yet to do it but thought that West Marine would be an obvious place for
finding back-ups, but no luck. Can anyone suggest a source? {I realise this might simply be routine
clevis pins, but a source for that would be good too}.
Also, I have no where to attach the line that keeps the rudder in the upright position. Where is the best place to make this attachment? It seems as if attaching it to the tiller would be affected by moving the
tiller up and down (e.g. when tacking or jibing or just shifting sides).
