lenghts for 30 MKI spinnaker
Ahoy everyone,I would like to get the spinnaker on our 30 MKI back to work - I
always had it somehow gerryrigged, and since I often singlehand or doublehand
the boat, I consider getting a snuffer so that I could use the spi with short
crew as well. BUT: Our uphaul and downhaul lines went AWOL, and I'd like to
replace them. Would you have any indication what lenghts of line I need to run
it back to the cockpit? I also am curious to see if here are other C&C 30
sailors around New York or in the Western Long Island Sound to catch up with
and exchange ideas or just meet up with once in a while.And since I am new to
the list, I would like to introduce our boat and me. A friend and I are sailing
"Messing About", a 1980 C&C 30 MKI, out of Larchmnont, NY. I take care of the
boat for about seven years, when she was Kelly green and named Mistral IV, but
our captain decided at 95 yo that slowly it might be enough, so he passed the
helm on to us "chicks". So it's time for some smaller updates. I love the
stiffness and quick reaction of this boat. The boat is in good condition, I'd
say, she has a rebuilt 2QM15 since this season, a new mast step, complete new
rudder and steering system, new head, a few but updated electronics, and seems
overall pretty healthy. No blisters, no nothing, let alone some small cracks in
the gelcoat on deck, but it wouldn't be a boat if there weren't some projects
to do, right? I lerned: 10 boat projects minus 1 boat project equals 11 boat
projects. So this spring I did a roll and tip-job on the topsides, and leaving
the quite recognizable kelly green behind us, her new colors are seattle grey
with seagrass green as contrary color. (Here are some pics:

We have a range of sails:- 143% genny, UK, good for the summer doldrums on the
LIS- 100% battened jib - a real nice sail in any weather- a veritable mylar
decksweeper which we hardly ever use, since we don't race her at this time (she
was once a regular winner up in Westport, CT, formerly known as as "Irish
Wake")- mainsail, heavy quality, fully battened- mainsail, lighter built for
racing (North Sails), half battened - to wich we just added three reefing
points.I hope to see you out on the water! cheersJanko Puls --Point of View
