Stus-List Re: Winch Size for C/now speed of tack turn
On my C mark I, I replaced the primary winches with Lewmar 42's. I used to sail/race with a 170 but now our class has limited the largest sail to 155. 62 yo and still occasionally single-hand in races. Letting the jib/genoa backwind so the wind is pushing the bow into the turn before releasing the sheet helps, as well as then slowing the turn so the jib can be brought in quickly while not under as much pressure. Not much boat speed should be lost doing this. Bob Mann MysticPlease show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and help me pay the associated bills.

I did this on my 35-1 (called Mystic).

I chose a location about even with the front of the mid-boat hatch and angled them so the angle to mast was the same as the angle to the clutch. Check coach roof to make sure there's nothing in the way for where the bolts come through the deck. I ended up with one bolt half on a molded edge. I have the plastics caps for hiding the holes, if you want some. Halyard length needs to be twice deck-to-masthead height + distance back to cockpit + about 6 feet.

Chuck, unless you're going far and need a tow, it sounds like you've got your situations covered. I've used them once, when I couldn't start the engine after a race.

Stus-List Re: Leather wheel cover
You should also consider covering it yourself, like this: Dress Up the Steering Wheel - Good Old Boat https://goodoldboat.com/dress-up-the-steering-wheel/ I bought a 1000' spool of round braided polyester to do mine, learned how to tie the turks-head and other knots, and did it as a winter project about 3 years ago. No signs yet of wear and I use the boat 50 times a year on great lakes. As I recall, the spool cost under $100 and it took me about 2 hours per section for each of the 8 sections and another 2 hours for each of the covering knots.

Stus-List Re: mast blocks
I have something similar now, but possibly my blocks are too small. They are from Garhauer but only have two screws in each one. The backing plates are bending and I've replaced several of the screws with rivets. I don't see your blocks or mine in their catalog so I'm probably looking in the wrong place.

Steven, I did leave the old wood in there. Was a decision I had to make and wasn't sure what was the best approach, but yes, I enclosed it with the pieces I installed. I thought the fiberglass would be strong enough. I didn't have a backing plate on the bolt, just the washer, but after I had the crunching of the wood I put one in temporarily, maybe that's was done on your boat also? I just happened to do both the mast step and the bolt at the same time, I think you could do them separately but access to the bolt was probably a lot easier with the mast step removed. I had my mast pulled to replace the step, but I've heard suggestions that you could just raise it up and block it from the deck, though I don't think I'd be comfortable doing that for any length of time. Getting the wood of the step out was easy, a Sawzall did the trick. Getting something in was a lot more complicated as you cannot fit a wide enough board through the opening in the cabin sole. I used a fiberglass cloth layup on a form across the bilge sump so I could get the cloth into the space, I think I used 27 layers in one rather long layup. I'd be happy to go into more detail if you want to contact me offline. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove NY

As detailed as I try to be, I know some pertinent information will be left off. Such as the anemometer information still appears on my displays so I ruled out the network backbone.

Stus-List mounting chart plotter at helm
I was going to put another instrument display at the helm of my 35 mk I, but realized a chartplotter was only a couple hundred more so went that route. Any suggestions on how to mount it to my Edson pedestal so I can rotate it sideways, for easy viewing from the coaming? I rarely steer from behind the wheel so I want to see it from the sides. The pedestal is about the same height as the wheel (not my boat, but similar setup. I don't have the top tray): https://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/17/14/05/22/2012-110.jpg) The chartplotter is the B Vulcan 9. regards, Bob Mann Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.

Don't do it. Spend the few bucks and set it up right. That little ring won't be able to take the pressure of a whisker pole.

Stus-List Re: leeward layline
Jeff, You are correct in that it should be the leeward mark is at a bearing of 80*, and yes, leeward port layline in this example. TWD and TWA are not the same. TWA is a reference to the boat while TWD is a reference to compass headings. "Since you likely know the course to the mark, and you've already determined your gybing range (80 deg). Isn't it easier to add or subtract 80 to your course to see if it matches the bearing to the mark?" The point of the math was to get to knowing that +/- 80 as bearing from current heading. Now that we have the math we know for the future that 2*gybing angle is bearing to mark. Not everyone has a chart plotter, but my GPS will tell me bearing to the mark. We don't know the course to the mark; we've calculated the bearing to the mark and adding/subtracting that from our current heading tells us the heading we'll be on after the gybe. Course and TWD aren't constant and thus this isn't a perfect calculation. The bearing to the mark is the theoretical moment at which we need to gybe before we've overstood the mark and sailed too far. Rounding to port, we want to gybe before this bearing. Rounding to starboard, we want to gybe after this bearing. >From the example, TWD is 270 and current course is 230, so off the wind [stern >true wind angle or STWA] by 40. The gybing angle is 2*STWA, or 80, so course >after gybe is 230+80, or 310. A different example: TWD is 75 and current course is 135. STWA is 60 so gybing angle is 120, bearing to mark needs to be 120, and course after gybe is 15. Just like tacking, experience will help to determine if a fudge factor needs to be added.

Stus-List Re: leeward layline
My geometry for calculating leeward layline: If my ideal heading for the current conditions is 230* and TWD is 270*, that means my stern has to swing 40* to become dead downwind, and another 40* to get to the reciprocal course after the jibe. In a perfect scenario, this means an 80* swing. So, when the windward mark is at a bearing of 80* I'm on the leeward layline. Bearing to the mark can thus be calculated as 2 x (180-TWA).

I still need to review the geometry, but I believe that when the bearing to the mark is equal to 180-TWA, one has reached the downwind layline. I also found that when the masthead is pointing at the mark, that also indicates the layline has been reached.

I believe aft shrouds are for when running, so a little slack upwind is fine, maybe moving an inch or so. Forward lowers, almost no slack; uppers, no slack.

My aft wedge (I only used four) slipped last season and cracked my liner. So last week I filled the partner all around with formula 27, sanded, then painted over it.

I just did this on my 35-1. I taped a cutout of two layers of corrugated cardboard inside the opening, from the inside. I fiberglassed over the outside with 8 layers of epoxied glass. When setup, I removed the inner-most one layer of carboard and did it again. When setup, I covered both sides with Evercoat Formula 27 (sands really nicely). Next step, paing.

So with no sails on, the forestay should be slack? How much? Backstay will tighten the forestay and this should be adjusted during sailing, but how slack is it? I have a turnbuckle on my forestay, inside the furler. I've tightened it in the past but I don't know what I'm doing.

Stus-List Re: Asymmetical Spinnaker outside jibe
The one advantage to having an ATN-type tacker or pole setup is that it brings the tack closer to the centerline, which gets more sail out from behind the main. It should give you more speed. Both inside gybe and outside gybe are done outside the forestay. Inside gybe has lazy sheet pass between the forestay and spinnaker; outside gybe has lazy sheet pass in front of spinnaker -- outside of everything. Inside gybe is generally for lighter air.

Stus-List Re: Asymmetical Spinnaker outside jibe
John, our class of 35-1's in Detroit is going to poling out asymm sails this year. It's meant primarily for long legs where gybing shouldn't happen for a long time. The pole will be kept down low, just above the pulpit. Using the pole keeps the tack on (near) the centerline of the boat. We'll see how it goes.

Stus-List Re: Asymmetical Spinnaker outside jibe
Matthew, you probably want to have a short, dedicated gybing tack line. Attach it prior to the gybe (I'm thinking "inside" of pole). Gybe pole and pre-set it, then gybe sail. When done, remove temporary tack line. At least that's how I hope it will work. I've never done it but will find out this spring.

Stus-List Re: masthead sheave thoughts?
I was able to replace my jib masthead sheaves by sending them to Garhauer in California. They made new ones and shipped them out. Perfect fit. I still have wire-to-rope for my main halyard. That'll be next, as soon as I figure out how to change the exit block at the mast base.

Stus-List Re: Racing fleets and getting sailors to participate
Video tape all starts from the committee boat and use these for review. Always surprising how far from the line boats are at the start, especially in the middle of the line. Our local group (multiple clubs in one organization) implemented golf-style handicapping last year. We call it Delta class. Based on your result from last week your rating may change. Unfortunately, I don't have more details on what they did but can put you in touch with someone.

Stus-List Re: Mainsail Gate
Depends on whether you want the slides/slugs to drop down past the opening or not. My cover fits much nicer when the mainsail drops down another 4-6 inches, so I have the gates on mine; I used to have the stop. I attempted to make my own using a flooring carpet strip. It worked for a week or two but the material is too pliable. A lot depends on what your track opening looks like.

Peter, I haven't been able to use the A3 in our OD races -- it isn't class legal until 2021. Racing PHRF in Wednesday 6 mile races I've been using an asail which is close to an A2 - very close to a symmetrical that was modified to be an asail. Using a tack line I've been very competitive. I haven't used the asail off the spinnaker pole yet, hence my query.

Stus-List asail flown from spinnaker pole
The Detroit area OD fleet of 35 mk I's is allowing asails (A3 specifically) this year for the first time ever, but they must be flown from the tack or spinnaker pole. Does anyone know of any videos showing asails flown from a spinnaker pole? I'd especially like to see one being gybed. I've flown an A2 from my tack before, and gybed it, so that's not an issue. I think I have an idea of how it's done using a tack line and spinnaker pole, but I'd like to "see" it done as well. FWIW we do dip-pole gybes.

Stus-List Re: Strong track, lazy jacks, stack pack
I made lazy jacks for my Catalina 27. I had cleats on the mast at boom height (from PO) on both sides so after the sail was dropped and strapped, I pulled the lazy jacks forward and covered the main with un-altered cover. I no longer have pictures but will attempt to describe. My lazy jacks were one continuous line. Port side, starting at mast cleat, go aft 1/3 distance of main to a micro turning block on the boom. Next, up to a turning block hanging from a mast connection, then back to boom at 2/3 aft distance from mast. There I had a small strap on the bottom of the boom, like a pipe clamp. The line passed through to starboard, then repeated the process. The turning block line hanging from the mast (one each side) was attached to a small strap on the mast, located about 2/3 up.

Stus-List Re: Winch bit
I purchased something similar to this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124241193190 but for a LOT less money, about the cost of a bosun's chair. Mine has the climbing harness, a sewn strap that connects hands to feet, a pair of petzel ascenders and possibly a carabiner or two. The frog system is the method of ascending/descending. Basically, stand on left foot, raise right hand & foot together (right foot strap comes up with hand). Stand on now raised right foot and repeat for left side. To descend, you control the rate of descent. To be fair, I've never used it to climb the mast, just a test climb at a barn with a rock climber to understand how it all works. One fear is that you would twist around the line being climbed. Wear a helmet!!

Stus-List adding tracks to deck
My '71 C 35 mk I does not have any deck tracks. In my area we used to race with 167% genoa, which I used snatch blocks on the toe rail for. When I went down to a 155%, I still used the toe rail. However, the clew comes down just aft of a stantion and gets caught on the lifeline; I already severely bent the port lifeline last year. Our OD fleet in Detroit is going to 155% max genoa size in '21 so I'll be using that sail more often. All-around, time to add tracks to the deck. I've been given these locations for adding track: Inline tracks Front 20.0 aft of tack Back 26.6 aft of tack Front off center line 3.5 Back off center line 4.1 Transverse tracks - run from rail to cabin house 130 % Transverse 19.5 Aft of jib tack 155% Transverse 23.1 aft of tack I've been successful in Wednesday night races running the 167% to the toe rail and can continue to do so. However, for OD races on Saturday it will be 155% and 130% (which I don't yet own). What do you think of the track locations? Should the track be straight, if possible? What size track, 1.25 T-track? I'll be going with Garhauer adjustable sheet leads. Other thoughts or suggestions? I have two months to plan and install as I won't launch until late April.
