"The Pole" and "The Palm"
I sail my Scot in the winter cause I am down here in Florida. I love to tinker on my boat to make sailing easier and better. During the early summer I read about these two devices, but I was unable to try them until returning to FLA.
I like them both! The work well.
The pole and palm can be read about in detail by doing a search here.
The pole is used to roll the sail up at the end of the day by one person (or more if available), it works good and you simply bungie it to the boom and put on your cockpit cover. I find it much easier than trying to flake the sail and I think it is much better for the sail too, rolled not folded.
The palm is a SS ring on bungie the keeps the main sheet from fouling on the motor or transom corners. It too works well and look better than the traveler line I had previously used.
Thanks to bigpapaporsche for bringing these to our attention!
