New to sailing and purchased an E-29 just over a year ago. Have lots of questions, but will limit it to a couple?
To rebed a toe rail (it is a toe rail or a genoa track?), can a person simply back the bolts out from topside, or is more involved? Pulled back the mahagony trim and could see a few bolts on the toe rail dripping. Removing the mahagony trim completely (port side) looks like an adventure as it is wedged behind the cupboard shelf above the galley stove. Is there a secret to removing it?
One more question: Last year sailing in superior we encountered a small storm. We refeed the main, but the mast made a "pumping" motion. Later in the season while docked at the slip, in strong winds, we received the same pumping motion from the mast. Does that means the rigging needs to be adjusted? Did we not reef the main well - is that possible to not reef a main accurately?
Thanks for any help
