U20 Boat Maintenance & Care / Re: Stanchion repair/upgrade
« Last post by Claudio Brasca on December 06, 2025, 06:02:15 PM »By way of update, I got two quotes for the repair of our stern stanchions and the addition of a third vertical member (to match newer boats). We went with Dave at Railmakers who did a quality job in just three weeks including shipping time to and from.

Like this solution much better than the upside-down cleat thing I've seen before.

It has a short luff much like an ODR sail.
