Stus-List url 1st or Reef 1st ?
Thanks a bunch guys, Interesting comments. I'll definitely have to experiment with that in the up-coming weeks as this is a good time of year for stronger winds. On my jib: It's a heavy Dacron Haarstick 135 (CRUISER printed on the bag) with a foam luff. It appears to be designed to be furled and the boat points / handles well with it furled down to a 90 - 100 size. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to try it out / will report back.

Re: Stus-List Furl 1st or Reef 1st ?
Which ever reduces weather helm the most. As reefing the main moves the center of effort forward, it usually balances most masthead boats better by reducing weather helm.

Re: Stus-List Furl 1st or Reef 1st ?
True. Our last sail at the end of October was with the genoa only, and the boat was remarkably well balanced and still had a bit of weather helm. If the boat is actually moving along then weather helm comes from hydrodynamic forces as well as the wind pressure on the sails. We all know this in theory, but I find it easy to forget sometimes.

Re: Stus-List Masthead sheaves replacement
Burt, I beilieve I need to replace* a jib masthead halyard sheave on my 33-1 since one halyard raises the 135 easily by hand while the other halyard requires a hard grinding via a winch to reach full hoist. My boat is on the hard with the mast stepped. So if you are visiting your boat, I would like to see photos of the jib sheaves and if possible the dimensions of the sheaves (diameter, width, and pin diameter). Knowing the sheave size would enable me to have a replacement(s) ready if and when I drop or climb the mast. * The problem sheave is the one I've used for the furler for many years and the bronze/brass bushing is probably worn and no longer round. Rod Randow CC 33-1 _ bstratton wrote I have a '74 33 3/4tonner. I believe our rigs are very similar if not identical. I just had my mast un-stepped in order to haul the boat to my property for some winter projects. The mast is stored at my marina. If you like I can take some close up pics for you. I should be heading down to the yard this weekend. I have no experience in replacing the masthead sheaves but you might be able to get a good idea of what is involved if you decide to go that route. My main can be difficult to raise also but I chalked that up to my lack of experience and extra hands. I found that feeding it into the track is a huge help but again, extra hands would be helpful.

Re: Stus-List blooper explained
Russ, Let me know if you find out what the strut near the forestay is. I was part of many foredeck crews handling bloopers and rip cord spinnaker take down lines in the 70's and 80's but did not use anything that looks like that strut. The line that appears to lead aft from the mystery strut gives a hint of a control line. Maybe the crew was experimenting with an alternate blooper tack location. IIRC the IOR rules of the day would not have allowed or would have heavily penalized having an articulated, poled out tack arraignment. That might also explain why the blooper is being flown at that height. IIRC bloopers were most effective with the foot as close to the water as possible leading to having a crew assigned to trimming the blooper halyard.

Re: Stus-List blooper explained
At first I wondered what the horizontal bar athwart ship and above the pulpit was myself. And it looked like the spin pole was attached to the stem of the boat. WTF? Then I expanded the photo for a closer look. It's actually the port lower spreader. I think you can make out the shadow of the starboard lower spreader in the mainsail.

This is the best blooper shot I've seen (1983). It's hung from Amazing Grace, at 45' and built in the custom shop for Mr. Herron. RCYC. She sailed in three Admiral's Cup in England in the early '80s. https://www.dropbox.com/s/91mtn3cozon0sg8/photo50.JPG?dl=0 I'm a little puzzle with the reaching strut near the forestay, above the pulpit. The spinnaker take-down line is also there, but what is the strut doin? BTW, A G is currently for sail (but aren't they all :). P.M. if you want any details.

Stus-List A4 Joy
After some recent starting issues I hired a local A4 owner/mechanic to install an Indigo electronic ignition kit. The (warm) engine started right up many times and the idle was fine-tuned for optimal operation. A week later the engine wouldn't start. I was able to confirm spark at a spark plug. A few texts later the mechanic suggested adjusting the idle - which solved the problem. So I guess the point of my story for fellow A-fourians is - don't give up the ship. Sometimes it just takes a quarter turn on an idle screw and you're back in business.

Re: Stus-List whisker pole in Annapolis
Dave, Might I borrow your CC graphic for my signature too?

I thought I would post it here just in case. If anyone is going through that area by car or boat and returning to the New England area in the next 4-5 months, and can transport the pole (10-17’), please let me know. The seller will be in the area in June, but it would be nice to get it prior to that if possible.
