Note:
Fax Memo: July 18, 1997 
To: John Nantz
From: Ken Clark, Hood Yacht Systems
Drive rivits were originally used to hold the 
top bearings in place. A running change was 
made years ago and we now use a screw 
with a plastic anchor in each luff groove.

Editorial comment:
This is so much better!
