Boat name

Hi, I've recently bought a nice wooden solo from Jon Wood (4772 , built and later refurbed by Gosling). I know about getting a new cert from the RYA, but is there a register of boat names? Not that keen on the existing name TBH, and would like to change it!

There is no register as far as I know, you can just change the name.

Boom elastic

Hi can anyone point me in the right direction to rig the boom elastic? I’ve not rigged the boat for two years. All good except for this long bungee with a knot on one end, a hook on the other and a block between. I’ve looked at the website but can’t quite make out the details. Thanks in advance.

Many thanks in advance

Many apologies for the delay in responding. I’ve measured from the foot to the mast fitting and it’s 3800mm. The two parts of the broken wire are 3135 and 620 respectively the the shorter one is unwound at the end

Can you ring me so I can explain more clearly

My No is 07971 889864

Many thanks

Sheave for main halyard

Hello there I have an old grp solo (2318) the sheave at the bottom of the mast has completely separated so just pulling on the pin at the moment, the pin appears to have been hammered in place, I will need to hammer it out, do you know what that pin is called or. How to get a replacement? I can get a new sheave off P&B but they don’t seem to list anything that resembles the pin
