Peter:

Thanks for the welcome.

I live near the shores of Puget Sound, Washington, USA.  (Ergo the screen name Fidalgo (Fidalgo Island)

I am currently building a Thunder-Tiger "Victoria" sailboat and am working through rigging issues.  The furnished fittings are simply too large, heavy and UGLY.  I've found more suitable ones adapting fishing hardware from Cabela's (outfitters).

Upon completion of the "Vic" will come a Dumas '40 Chris-craft speedboat (28.5") with electric power (EP).

I'm blessedly retired and have lots of time to "play".
