Hello,

Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement handles for the forward 
v-berth hatch on a 1979 C? I am replacing the hatch but cannot remove the 
pin/screw that holds the exterior knob in place on one of them. I think I may 
have to cut it off and get a new one.

Stus-List Re: winch mounting project

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

Thanks for all the feedback.  You guys always have great thoughts!
 
I thought of a third option but not sure if it helps.  I could possibly swap 
the other starboard cabin top winch for a self-tailer and reroute the main 
halyard.  I think I have more room there to mount it there, but will have to 
measure when I get a chance.

As to why do this- I agree that it is not a critical upgrade and don’t want to 
make it into a big project.  I can raise the main as others indicate.  There 
are two situations where I think it would make things easier.  First, there are 
times when I think I get the halyard tight enough, but later realize while 
sailing that it is too slack.  It would be much easier to keep it on the 
self-tailing winch and tweak than without having to tail at the same time when 
it requires a lot of force.  Second, in several single-handed races with high 
winds, I have sailed the upwind leg with reefed main and then had a long 
downwind leg where I would have liked to shake out the reef and then re-reef 
for the next upwind leg.  That would be much easier to do with the halyard 
already in the self-tailer.  

Charlie- Thanks for the info on number of threads to hold a bolt in place. I 
wondered if that information existed and now I know.  I am still thinking 
aluminum over starboard for strength but will investigate further.  I also 
agree with Ted’s point that this mounting would not require a second person to 
hold the nut if it need to be removed.  Dave

just fine.

And there’s always the local “head of the harbor” marine store at the hometown

business on the retail side means they’re more likely to have the water pump 
impeller you need when your boat starts overheating the day before you leave on

When I decided I had to have self-tailers for my foresail, I decided
against changing brands, and just put in a search on eBay for variant
self-tailers. Eventually a perfect pair of stainless steel winches
self-tailers popped up, and I scarfed them up. I didn't even have to remove
the bases, just the drum.

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

Yes, and I think this was probably the big advantage that the old Defender
had over West Marine. With the exception of some of the main yachting
centers, if you would go into any West Marine store, which for me would be
either Cleveland or Buffalo, You could spray a paintball machine gun around
the store and not hit a soul. It's always nice to be able to go through
these stores and browse, but I'm sure that West Marine lost a shitload of
money on them. Probably still is. Sad to say, that online is probably the
only viable approach anymore. I think another problem with the marine
industry is the layers of distribution that add percentages on percentages
to the cost. Some of these layers have been removed in the last 40 years,
but it is still a burden.

Stus-List Re: winch mounting project

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

I also hoist the main by hand on my 36 footer with a 43 foot hoist.  I setup 
the boat using autopilot so she's pointed into the wind, slow the throttle, 
take off the sailties, ease the mainsheet a little, and hoist the sail up by 
hand from the cockpit, pulling the halyard through a closed clutch on the 
cabintop.  It goes up best if you do it fast.  I have to be careful with the 
wind angle since I have checkstays that can catch the sail, and sometimes I 
ease them off for the hoist, but only use the winch to get the final tension.  
I'm not bragging, but I'm 68 and found this just works best.  I watch the head 
of the sail go up past the checkstays and sometimes, in light winds, don't even 
use the winch as I see a crease start behind the mast and need to ease the 
halyard little.  To make it easier, I mark the halyard with a sharpie as 
reference and lubricate the mast track and plastic slides with McLube a few 
times each season.  Also be sure that all the sheaves in the system are free 
turning and lubricated and the line is lead smoothly and fair.   

My boat has four self tailing winches and I miss them when I sail on other 
boats, so well worth the trouble to upgrade.   My cabintop winches are used for 
all halyards and also used for outhaul, cunningham, reefing lines, and the 
checkstays, so they are worth upgrading to self tailers.

Brian – don’t cut it off!Is it like this one? https://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2022/10/hatch-refurbishment.html DaveWindstar, 33-2  Sent from Mail for Windows From: Brian Morrison via CnC-ListSent: March 11, 2023 10:51 PMTo: Stus-ListCc: Brian MorrisonSubject: Stus-List Forward Hatch Handles Hello, Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement handles for the forward v-berth hatch on a 1979 C? I am replacing the hatch but cannot remove the pin/screw that holds the exterior knob in place on one of them. I think I may have to cut it off and get a new one.  ThanksBrian C.
