Same here - Ordered a gallon of bottom paint from Defender late 
yesterday evening, it was delivered today by 3:00 pm.  Defender had the 
best price i could find.

FWIW..

I ordered my bottom paint @ 9:30am today, paint was 15% off, my 
Defender 1 discount was added, and over $99 free shipping.

I was notified @ 11:30 from UPS it had shipped.
The Website/checkout experience was nice, bummed that my past order 
history was missing.

Joe,

When I did bow on Zoomer (C 40) back in the early 2000’s we set up our bow 
pulpit and the forward two lifeline stanchions just like that to keep the jib 
on board during a douse.  It was pretty effective.

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Lifeline safety netting

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

To clarify:  I am very safety conscious as a mostly solo sailor.  I have 
jacklines and safety tether on my boat, but I usually only deploy them when I 
know it is going to be rough.  It is hard to set up in the middle of a race 
when you were expecting mild conditions.  Like Chuck, I have a setup for 
re-boarding the boat from the water.  I have a line loop attached to the 
transom boarding ladder which I could use to pull it down from the water.  But 
that would only be useful at the mooring/anchor as there is no way I would be 
able to get to that position on a moving boat.   Frequently, I go forward with 
no tether in calmer conditions.  So for safety mesh, I am thinking about a 
situation where the weather is fine, but I lose balance, fall and roll on a 
tilted deck and I don’t know whether the lifelines and stanchions would stop me 
rolling overboard.  Plus, I have a dog periodically on board and soon a 
grandchild.  

Following on one suggestion, I found that you can purchase dyneema mesh in 
custom size to attach to the lifelines.  The advantage over nylon is it is 
smaller in diameter for the same strength with less wind resistance than nylon. 
  I am looking into how to attach it and will report back if I go ahead with 
this approach.  Dave

Stus-List Re: Bringing lines back to Cockpit.

John,

 

As others have said, juxtaposition of the clutches and winches is critical.  I 
have triple clutches ahead of Barient 22 winches.  I aligned the starboard side 
of the winch drum with the center clutch.  You can probe around in this folder 
for pics of the organizers, etc:

 


 =share_link>

 

The pictures are not in any order.

 

I think my deck organizers are Schaefers.  Like another lister said, I bisected 
the turning angle of the halyards.

 

My mast base turning blocks are Garhauer HM-1A Half Moon Blocks attached to the 
mast.

 

My rope clutches are Lewmars.  I wouldn't use any other clutches.  They're easy 
on the line covers and release under load.

Hello. In the process of moving all my lines from the mast back to the cockpit 
and wanted to see what others have done. All old winches and deck gear is off. 
Also, I am going to replace my jib halyards (main, spin and topping lift were 
already back to the cockpit on old blocks etc) if anyone has an any 
measurements for the 36-1 halyards to the cockpit please let me know.

 

For the new deck hardware.

 

I am thinking about using the following:

 

Deck Organizer 40-DO-QB | Garhauer (garhauermarine.com) 

  

 

Spinlock Mid-Size Boat Deck Organizer | Defender 
 

 

Still looking at clutches, want quads and Spinlock/Lewmar/Garhauer have them.

 

Bought two used Lewmar 30 ST for each clutch. 

 

I am thinking I need to get both the deck organizers up near the mast where the 
winches used to be and the clutch organizers to make sure that the lines are 
not hitting up against the traveler base. 

 

Thanks!
