Belle Aurore, 25 mk1 hull number 225, still has the roller furling boom – and I
even still have the crank that came with the boat for furling. Like Touche, the
roller boom is disabled by the Garhauer Vang. Bell has end boom sheeting with
the traveler on the transom. And though I have done away with the topping lift,
I still use the little rotating plate on the end of the boom as the attachment
point for the mainsheet block. I don’t really think this was the pinnacle of
sailboat technology. But if it works, why change it. Rick BrassImzadi C&C 38

Subject: Re: Stus-List Roller Reefing Boom I still occasionally sail on a C&C
35 Mk.1 that still has the roller furling main and the screw type outhaul. It
still has the pin stop traveler too. The owner has has had her since 1980 or
so. He is always trying to convince us "this is the pinnacle of sailboat
technology, why change anything?" It works for him. Ken H. On 11 October

So, Corsair is out for the season and I brought home the Spinnaker Pole and the
Boom to clean up for the winter and it got me wondering how many still have the
original roller reefing boom? I have used the roller reefing feature once with
the old main (no slab reefing). We now have a North Main that has two reef
points. We don't reef all that often. We just don't go out that often in 15+
TWS.
Once I got the end fitting off I figured out why the outhaul was always such a
tough adjustment. The outhaul sheave has a half inch ID and the pin is 5/16.
There was no bushing in the sheave. I think that I'll just order a new sheave
from Rig Rite.
I am having the mast stepped this winter so that I can give it a good look over
this winter. I am going to replace all of the bulbs with LEDs and finally fix
my spreader lights (they came disconnected a few years ago and I just haven't
wanted to go up the mast that bad to reconnect them.
We are doing all of this work because we are finally leaving South Haven and
taking the boat north to White Lake (Michigan). It is a difficult decision.
We have been in South Haven (short one year that we didn't even go in the water
and one year in Saugatuck/Douglas due to low water levels in South Haven) since
we came up to Michigan with our South Coast 23 in 1992. We find that there is
no social life for the old sailors in South Haven. We are hoping to find a
little more activity in Whitehall and we will join White Lake Yacht Club to
help. The up side to moving up the lake is that the cost is less (we can pay
for the slip and the WLYC dues for less than slip in SH) and we can sail White
Lake when the big lake is not hospitable. We already know more people on White
Lake than we do in South Haven.
We are also replacing the 45 year old cushions since we will be spending more
weekends on the boat. Whitehall is a 2 hour drive, South Haven was a twenty
minute drive.
This is a pretty big move for us but we are excited to maybe get more usage out
of the boat. Wish us luck.
