OK you guys got me thinking and that's good. Expensive, but good. I'm gonna consider using epoxy resin for the lead. It's gonna be a bit before I install it still so I'll have time to hash it out. If I use epoxy I'd probably just stick with West, I've been using them for years, I'm familiar with it, I already have a can of extra slow tropical hardener and because I moonlight for West Marine I can buy it discounted there. I went out to put the bilge cleaner in.After vacuuming the sump out could see 2 places that my air chisel had actually poked through from the keel cavity. Oops. I hate it when I create more work for myself. So I had seal those up before I put the bilge cleaner in. So that's pushed back till tomorrow. I need help on one other thing that I know someone out there knows. My friend Jason and I have started racing his 17. He needs to get a genoa BAD. The one the boat came with is a 170 mylar that all the mylar has delaminated on. It's not even useable. We got lucky last week in that it was blowing like heck and we didn't need a genny, but we will. So, does anyone have the stock measurements for the basic headsail sizes for the 17? espeacially for a 135, 150 or 155? If you do that'd really help us out. It's probably going to have to be used sails for right now but before he can shop all the used sail places we need the measurements. Thanks Sean
