I have heard, although I have not personally explored, that Yanmar engines
are also installed in farm/lawn/industrial equipment.
I watched many of the America's Cup races "live" on Virtual Eye and then
often caught the "actual video" replays when they became available on
YouTube.
As a half-fast beercan racer I watched and analyzed with great interest,

I'd take a closer look at what's coming out of the rudder in pic #9. I'm no
expert. Looks like rust. I'm curious what others think.
Also, the listing states/implies that the hull is cored. "Regular" 33-1's
have solid hulls, which might be preferable for a boat of this vintage.
Again, I'm no expert.

As the boat heels and picks up waterline length, its presentation to the

Although I don't have any of their hardware, I like the SI-TEX brand. They
seem to occupy the "value" space. Value, like free wind, = good. :-
Upon buying Ox ~7 years ago I had it/her outfitted with new (foam and
covering) cushions for ~$3K. (I stated in a recent, unrelated post that the
cushions were new. Well, they _were_ new.)
I was keenly interested in the differences between open and closed-cell

The need for a heavy chain and padlock would negate its weight savings.

Re-bed the frames into the cabin top with butyl tape. You can get a big
roll for $10 at a Recreational Vehicle (RV) store. Refrigerate before using
and will be easier (less sticky) to work with.

If you want to remove the frames without bending them (much), use a
machete. After removing the screws, tap the machete down along the top edge
between the frame and the cabin top and then gently pry. I wish I had used
that method on all four frames.

Seems to work on barnacles, slime and mussels.
No PHRF hit, either.
I wonder if some sort of bubbler setup would discourage marine growth.

Around seven years ago, after getting the seven year itch with my
Pearson-26, I moved up to Ox, a 33-1. Mostly single-handed beercan and ad
hoc, one-on-one racing with the Pearson really improved my sailing skills.
I never made the "step up to the next level" with the 33-1. Ox was and

I have a Logitech 5.1 speaker system for my PC. I use two of the smaller
speakers (which have long cables) on the boat. Sound good to my tin ears -

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking, more generally, of using CNC for
any sort of hard-to-source part for the aging C&C fleet - and sharing the
data-sets (e.g. autocad files). The main expense at this time is the
scanner. Manufacturing can go to the lowest bidder. Maybe some shops do
scanning an
Thanks John. I will take another look today.
Unrelated, a 33-1 showed up for sale today on sailboatlistings.

I may have used contact cement in the past, but I never inhaled.

Weldwood makes some non-flammable contact cement that would probably work
OK.

Danny,
The good ol' Atomic 4. Under sail, with a big enough prop, you don't even
need a battery to start it. Just turn on the ignition and pop the clutch.
Doesn't work at the dock, though. What's the emoticon for exaggeration?
For the windlass, how about going manual? That would be a lot simpler.

That's a great link. Thanks for posting.

I wonder if the Captain was expecting to get through the Gulfstream
and then just turn right and deal with less-rough conditions. I have
no familiarity with that region.

Right on, Chuck.
The "gentleman sailing" in our C&Cs certainly has its advantages. I've
done lots of body and windsurfing and still enjoy the visceral joys of
being very close to the wind and water - unless I'm on a lee shore.

I am replacing the lenses on my portlights. They are in aluminum

to take into account the expansion/contraction of the lens material.
When the temperature increases does the inside circumference of the
