The feeder on my CST mast for my i14 is going all wrong at the moment. The last one had a pair of little wheels that became all jammed up once they'd worn so I had to drill out the rivets in the end to get the sail down.

So then I replaced it with a holt one which consist of a simple aluminim groove held on by a single rivet.

And the main went up beutifully :) then I took the main down and it tugged it straight off the mast :( It was attached with a single carbon rivet (all it has holes for) but otherwise unsupported.

So what next? Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dave
