On Fireball (C&C 35 Mk2) I have two sets of tracks. The aft set runs from 
approximately the fwd cockpit main winch, 6" inboard of the toerail at a slight 
inboard angle to the second set which run parallel to the deck house to the aft 
lower shroud about 2" outboard from the on-deck aft spinnaker deck fitting.  
The angle between the two is slight enough that the twin sheet genoa lead block 
will pass the junction.  Boat carries two of these blocks to facilitate double 
headsail changes.  The  no.1 & 2 are lead outboard of all shrouds , the no.3 is 
lead inboard of aft two shrouds, outboard of the fwd shroud.  This winter 
adding a 2' section of track forward from the fwd shroud parallel to the toe 
rail to handle the #4 (80%) and the #4 being used as a staysail, being tack on 
the fwd bow-centerline track.

It looks like your aft track is further outboard than mine too, so this must be 
a mk1 vs mk2 difference, as those positions have factory access panels in the 
liner.

And here I was hoping for a post about sail trim! ;)
I'm pretty sure my tracks are too far aft for the 95 jib I mostly run. My
150 genoa is sheeted to blocks on the toe rail, but they're not snatch
blocks, so adjusting is a pain. I'd like to find a better way, and install
a foreward inboard jib track, but am not sure of how to best determine
placement.
Sorry if I hijacked the "trim" thread...

Re: Stus-List Trimming the main

2015-08-12 Thread Martin DeYoung via CnC-List
> All 4 batters are full and adjustable.

This is what I have on Calypso's mainsail plus it is an all conditions weight 
of a Pentax like cloth.  The battens terminate into Harken Batt cars.  The sail 
includes 3 reef points and a flatting reef.  This main is not particularly 
responsive in TWS below 5 knots.

With the adjustable full length battens it has been my experience that in 
lighter air the battens will mask some of the signs that the sail is out of 
trim.  I use the much of the same trimming methods described by others 
responding to your question, especially the telltales off the top two battens.  
I will add that when pinching up below another boat I have brought the boom 
above center and slightly over trimmed the main to throw a little extra dirty 
air their way.  If I am in a cranky mood I will ask the crew to work up a fart 
or two so the bad air also stinks.

What I have not tested enough is changing the tension of the battens for 
different wind strengths.  When we have Calypso back in sailing condition, 
improving our light air performance is high on the priority list and the main 
sail near the top of that list.  I expect we will end up with a lighter newer 
design of mainsail for full on racing and use the current sail for higher wind 
forecasts and cruising.

Stus-List Trimming the main

2015-08-11 Thread Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List
It applies to close hauled and reaches and running too (The vang is most 
needed / effective when the sheets are looser when reaching or running).. 
You should relax the vang on a reach or running but you still don't want 
to spill the wind on the upper 3rd by having the leach opened -- Unless 
you want to de-power. 

 The telltales are certainly important but don't always tell the whole 
story.  I have seen it where my leach was (A bit) too open / spilling wind 
yet the telltale was fine. 

When you're looking for max speed, the fact that there's no silver bullet 
is part of why it's so much fun. (At least for me)

Re: Stus-List Trimming the main Part II

2015-08-11 Thread Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List
Hi David,

By "It"  I mean the boom vang if that was not clear. Pulling the vang 
closes the leach / takes twist out / flattens the sail. 

 
The last inch / tip on the leach. If the tip is pointing to leeward than 
the vang is too loose and your spilling wind through the upper triangle of 
your sail. You need to tightent it a few inches.

BTW that can be useful when the wind picks-up / your backstay is full on 
and you still have too much heel but don't want to reduce sail yet.  For 
example: On a gusty day. 

Conversely if the tip is pointing to windward (More than just a little 
like a few degrees) then there's too much "Curl" and that's detrimental to 
the airfoil shape. 

Have fun,

A straight line drawn between the luff (leading) and leach (trailing)
edges.  This would represent a sail with little or no twist.  To achieve
this you may need vang and main sheet pulling the leach tight(er)(ish).

Be advised that the battens don't need much tension.

Stus-List Trimming the main

2015-08-11 Thread David Knecht via CnC-List
I have read in several places that one guideline for mainsail trim is to make 
the upper batten parallel with the boom.  My upper batten is full length with 
adjustable tension, so it is curved.  In this situation, what part of the 
batten would theoretically want to be parallel with the boom?  Thanks- Dave

Stus-List Trimming Gmail replies to list

2015-03-13 Thread Dennis C. via CnC-List
Listers using Gmail can easily trim the long string of replies.

Go to "Settings".  You will land on the "General" settings page.  Look near
the top for the link called "Labs" and click it.  Scroll down the
"Available Labs" until you see "Quote Selected Text".  Select the "Enabled"
box.  Scroll to the bottom and click "Save Changes".

Now when you want to reply, just select a portion of the original message
and click the "Reply" arrow.  Only the portion of the original message you
selected will be in the reply.  The rest of the message(s) will not be sent.
