My boat's on the hard prefacing a Matthew haulout. While she's out, she's due
for some bottom work and thruhull replacement. I'm going to replace the main
and jib halyard sheaves at the masthead while she's out of the water, and while
I know it's easier to replace them with the mast stepped, that's not going to
happen this time around. That being said, can anyone here help inform me as to
what I have to do to get the sheaves out once I'm up the mast? Can't find any
good info online about this procedure for a 33-1. I have seen that there are
pins that look like rivets on one side of the mast that hold the sheaves in
place. If I can get the pins out with a punch/chisel and don't lose the
sheaves inside the mast, what else do I need to think about? I have spare
halyards to go aloft so there wont' be tension on said main and jib halyards.
What tools do I need? Thought I would block the holes in the sheave block to
keep them from falling down inside the mast. Any thoughts much appreciated.

You should talk to Doyle Boston Sailmakers in Sarnia. They have done a lot of
work for me over the years, including re-cutting and re-sizing, as well as a
brand new Dacron genoa. Not the cheapest option for new sails, but they are
the go-to guys for the racers around here and they just might be able to
breathe some new life into your baffed out old main. Full battens in a main can
work wonders in light air. Or they might not, but they will tell you if you
take the sail there. They are located close to the Bluewater Bridge and the
Sarnia Yacht Club.

The current main has two sets of reef points, (cringle at the leech and and
ring-on-webbing-straps at the luff.)
No telltales other than streamers off the leech.
IIRC there may be a leech line.
4 partial battens battens.
There are two cringles at the clew, one above the other, and what I believe
is called a "shelf" of lighter weight cloth along the foot. Have never
used this out of ignorance, but perhaps I should.
it has a rope foot, slides on the luff.
I will have Rolly Tasker in Thailand quote, as well as UK sails here in
Toronto.
I value the 33-2's performance but most of my sailing is recreational
sailing here on Lake Ontario. Would like to distance race but not looking
to be ultra-competitive at the top level. Don't want to buy another
Main for this boat in the next decade.
Any thoughts or recommendations on a replacement, or comments on sail
lofts? Many thanks!

Check out Precision Sails in Victoria BC. They have a great on-line site. Sails
are made Asia somewhere but inspected and shipped from BC. I got a 135 and
asym from them this year. Very happy with the product and price.
