Saturday bimble

I noticed that the rope that tied the mainsheet blocks to the traveller had worn through the outer layer.

Weird I thought....I better replace it before I end up with a handful of mainsheet and no control.

I was thinking of replacing it with thicker rope (current was 2mm Harken block rope wound round 3 times)
As I was threading it trhough I realised that a couple of screws for the track were not quite flush, thus causing the wear n tear.

So I tightened them up and put some new 2mm rope back on.

Bimble over ready to race on Sunday
