Does anyone know if it's possible to dye Herzog and what substances are
suitable for doing it? Would be nice to get some colour back into the
ropes and don't fancy forking out silly money to just make the boat
more aesthetically pleasing.

I would advise against as adding chemicals to the rope may cause its fibres to turn brittle or reduce its breaking load. |

Ok, its a bad idea, and I can still have a laugh with confusing the
crew....... "Pull the grey rope"......."which one".........."the
vang"............

We still call it vang because gnav is a marketing term for upside down
vang and we were using the term vang on other boats so it's just easier
to refer to it in that way. The funny thing about our boat is our
control lines swap position on each side of the boat, the rear cleat at
one side has the "vang" and on the other side, the rear cleat has
the cunningham. Think I might mark which lines which on the wings with
permanent marker to halt any small confusions...... ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

Who says there's a ban, I'm just planning on being
sensible...........hopefully........ (don't think it will work and if I
hit the other extreme I might not feel anything in the morning, or even
better, miss the appointment )

Tempting, BUT if I go to the dentist, at least I'll be up early in the morning and won't be hungover(ish).
