I have a 5:1 which I picked up from a parts 35 a few years ago, and it's a great improvement. If the cam cleat is hard to release, it usually means I should have reefed 5 knots ago...
I use a snap shackle to the traveller car for quickly swinging the boom to the rail when at anchor. Currently looking at a longer range cruiser, and one of the things I will miss is easy mainsheet adjustment. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Fri, Jul 15, 2022 at 8:13 AM Joe Della Barba via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Has anyone changed their 35 to a multi-part tackle and cam cleat that you > operate from the traveler back at the helm instead of the stock system that > runs a line up to the mast and back to a cabin top winch? > Would 4:1 be enough or would 6:1 be better? > > My preventer is a pretty big 4 part and cam cleat setup, it just about > looks like it could do the job. > > > > > > Joe Della Barba > > Coquina C&C 35 MK I > > Kent Island MD USA > > > > >
