Hello All,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Briggs Cunningham was a childhood hero of mine via Popular Mechanics or Science magazines. I only knew of his sports car fame, however, since I grew up far from anything to do with a sailboat. I spent hours drawing Cunningham's speeding around corners on imagined grand prix courses and even built a balsa wood model of his car that used a CO2 "fizzie" cartridge stuck in a hole drilled in the rear to propel it down a taut string. The cartridges were expensive for a farm boy, however, and I think I only did that 6 times, the number of cartridges in a box. It was a quick run, over sooner than later, and not that interesting for a 12 or so year-old after a couple of runs - and no corners for the car to careen around.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>It was only later that I learned the strange hole in my Coronado 25 sail was designed to have a rope run through it to tension the luff and that it was named for that same man. Even that knowledge never allowed me to sail that boat with much racing success.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Pat Broderick</div><div>ex-"Cibola" (Coronado 25 #4766)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 2, 2008, at 10:22 AM, Michael Andrews wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="717231717-02072008">My boom has a cast aluminum end with a stainless steel pin that secures the tack in place near the goose neck.
