So we would have been on the water in 5 minutes today but we had 3 broken sail clips. We gathered up spares, replaced the clips and headed out to sea.
So what on earth did sailors do before plastic sail clips? Well we know that Alcort boats had the sails laced on at one point with line, using a marlin hitch.
Then I noticed that the plastic clips are about a dollar a piece, and you need about 30. The Dacron line that we use costs 8 dollars.
