Amsteel Lifelines:
I like how the amsteel is hard as steel when taught and when you unclip the
gate pelican hook, the line is soft. No fish hooks and easy to replace. Easy to
remove and store each winter if you want to protect from UVs and increase the
life. I used Samson's simple taper and

Or you could do what I did. The 6'1 draft of my 38 was impractical for the
Carolina Sounds, the ICW, and the Bahamas. So I called Mars Metals (who cast
the original keels for most of our boats) and had them make me a torpedo bulb
to replace the bottom 10 of keel.

There is no power to my binnacle light. I've tried every breaker and
switch. No luck.
I can either trace the wiring back to the breaker or put a red LED in the
navpod above the compass.
Suggestions?

A few months ago I spoke with some cruisers headed north after a winter in the
Bahamas ( not their first trip, either) in a Director 65 drawing 6'6.
I asked them about access because of the deep draft.
Theory old me that 20-25% of the destination/anchorages were not a problem,

You need to fix the light. An external light will have all kinds of
reflections. The wire is prone to chafe on the steering cables and where it
goes into the compass. It is pretty much a trace it back to the start from the
compass end and see what the problem is operation. Dumb question – did
Some of it is a chicken-and-egg thing. The last time we had a boat that drew
less than 5 feet was around 1973, so I have very little memory of anchoring in
places 4 feet deep. If you always had a 7 foot draft boat then you never went
anyplace 6 feet deep. If you change from shallow to deep then
From the comments, it seems we're all pretty happy with what we have. That
sounds suspiciously mentally-healthy for this bunch!

If I were to replace my lifelines today I'd go with Dyneema. I have one
piece of 1/8 Amsteel that I use to lash down the shank of my anchor.
It's been tied to the pulpit base for six years now, and is the most
heavily abused piece of rope on the boat. It sits in the Mexican sun
24x7, and the
We had atypicallightning storm the other night rolling down from the
mountains. Lightning and thunder every two or three seconds, and pouring
rain. After making sure the boat was secure, I fell dozed off on the
port bench with a book, and with my head two feet from the keel stepped
mast.
Perhaps I should revise my comment about mental health :)

Check the wiring diagram supplied in your CC Manual. On my 1986 CC 41 CB,
the Binnacle light is separately fused with an in-line fuse. The fuse is in
series with the binnacle on/off switch located outside in the cockpit on the
engine instrument panel. The fuse is behind the the panel
Voltage. Bought new light thinking that was the problem but checked voltage
first.

Speaking of making sure the holes in the stanchions are smooth so the
lifelines don't get chafed, anybody know where to get those little plastic
inserts or come up with a good solution for this? Like flared SS tubing,
etc.?

Hi Dennis,
I made tapered S/S stanchions, using sched 40
pipe, on a previous boat and formed chafe inserts out of copper tubing.
I flared one end with a tool, cut to length,
insert in stanchion hole and flare other end with
a centre punch (you may have to use a center
punch though :),

I Co-Own The East Coast Lady. It was not a hard choice for me. I would
never be able to keep my boat at the marina as I do now, with the $ help of
a partner. My sailing partner is 10 or 12 years older than me and my wife.
This works out for the older couple now. We can only sail on the weekends
I've seen people whip short pieces of Dacron line cover where the lines go
through the stanchion.
