The other problem we had was that the spar end never fitted the saddle that well. Moray took the lugs off and re-welded them on outside the saddle lugs. and re-galvanised the spar end. Hopefully this will also help the twisting problem we had.

Gaff
The gaff I made for the new sails worked OK but seemed to bend far too much in strong winds and had lost some glue. I put lots more glue in the gaps and glued a piece along the top. According to John Leather's Gaff Rig Handbook this was common practice. Alison did a fine job of varnishing the whole thing.
