I think those are too large; though they look right. I have 7/16" slug bails, I think my slot is 1/2". I can measure it this weekend if you need.by DaleWray - sailmfg
one two three Photos as promised. I can get anything else you may need, just let me know. And thank you for posting shots of your rudder!by DaleWray - sailmfg
Mine has a slug that fits into the sail track. Page 3 of the rigging info here says much the same. I can snag you a few photos this weekend, but I'm sailing in a regatta, so it may be monday before I can get them up.by DaleWray - sailmfg
Fellow MFG19 owners; Does anyone have spring on their rudders? Can you get me a measurement on how low they are placed? My rudder does not kick up as it binds in the lake muck, and if I pull it up manually, it springs back down rather violently. Here is a pic of mine: pictureby DaleWray - sailmfg

Yesterday it split again, the waterproof glue failed. I'm looking at having a new one made over the winter =(by DaleWray - sailmfg
I've been loving our 55llb electric motor on the MFG19; today however it met its match backing out of the harbor with 20mph winds. Out of the slip, up the channel 15 feet or so, and suddenly we stop making rearward progress, and then started slipping forward. We took this as a sign and called it day!by DaleWray - sailmfg
Hi Tony, In general, the daggerboard keeps you from sliding sideways if you are close hauled or on a beam reach - when the wind is mostly coming over you side. On a broad reach or running downwind, you can pull your daggerboard up, giving you less resistance and more speed. You'll also want it down when tacking, else I think you will slide a lot on the turns. I've never seen a Copperhead, butby DaleWray - sailmfg
Paul, It will not be the prettiest repair ever seen, but I'm not after super performance here. I'll put some kind of documentation together ater I get it finished!by DaleWray - sailmfg
Hi Dave! We sail on Lake Lemon, its a smaller reservoir, so not as busy and smaller powerboat wakes than you'll find on Monroe. I'll send you a pm about visiting.by DaleWray - sailmfg
Paul - awesome thanks! I see the route the line will take form the lower section and through the upper to the cleat. I went and looked for a hole in the trailing edge, and didn't see anything. I did note, on the side opposite from the pic, there is a wear pattern above and out from the bolt in Mystery #2, as if a line was there for a long time =)by DaleWray - sailmfg
I separated the upper section from the lower, and I'm unsure which hole it is. On the picture linked below, Is it Mystery Hole #2? It currently has a bolt through it, but it is not serving any purpose that I can see. Mystery #1 will lie inside the metal plates of the upper section, I'm rather lost on its purpose. Please nevermind the PO's interesting varnish job, its on the neverending lisby DaleWray - sailmfg
I had to pull my rudder today, it has a nice vertical split, yippie. Easy enough to fix, it appears to be an old glue joint come undone. I'm letting it dry out overnight. The rigging instructions posted here say there should be a line running from the rudder to a small black cleat. I see the cleat, but can anyone tell me where on the rudder the line is supposed to attach to?by DaleWray - sailmfg
Thanks! Right now I have a silicone filled wire nut on it. The wire is just too short to get a good crimp on it. I'll get a weather pack connector to use when we take down the mast.by DaleWray - sailmfg
Deciding work was crimping our style, my wife and I knocked off early to get a cruise in on wednesday! Wind 5-10mph, man this boat sails nice! It was the first time just the two of us were out in a cruiser, so awesome. I have a 55lbs thrust electric motor on, it is just great for getting in and out of the slip on our smallish inland lake. While we were out, the traveler line snapped! I'm sby DaleWray - sailmfg
Nice map! I will have to copycat you on the GPS app =)by DaleWray - sailmfg
The current setup: One cable out the bottom of the mast, the other up from under the mast step. I don't think there is enough space in there to leave the plug in the gap, so I'll either leave it hanging, or find a way to rivet the mast side to the outside of the mast.by DaleWray - sailmfg
My mast light is missing its connection at the mast step - I am faced with two pairs of wires with bare ends. Clearly this is not a good idea. How was the original connector done? Is there a better way? Does it connect inside the mast, or outside?by DaleWray - sailmfg
Greetings, I just picked up an MFG19 in fine shape! I'll have it in a small reservoir in Bloomington, IN, sometime tomorrow. The hull id is MFGC9139M79G.This message board was a great resource in helping solidify my decision to go with the MFG19. Places like this make the internet great, finding information on a 30 year old sailboat with a short production run is just awesome. Interestinglby DaleWray - sailmfg
