Before going in the water this Spring I replaced all the waste hose and ran
thru the vanity in head. This week I had to rebuild the par shower drain pump
so I had to remove that. My question: Can the head sink be removed to allow
access? Working thru the small vanity door is an absolute
I recently had a mid-distance race in which a majority of the race was tight
reaching in flat water, 10-15 breeze. We had our heavy #1 up. A number of
boats (CC39, CC38, Sabre 36, Tarten Ten) worked up on us pretty well in
those conditions. I obviously need to trim the sails differently and
How much backstay? How much babystay? How tight was the outhaul and
halyards? Speed bubble in the main? How much heel? How much rudder? How
much weight on board? Crew hiking out? When was the bottom last cleaned?
What type of paint? You might need to come off the wind just a few degrees
Here are a few things to consider:
Examine the PHRF Ratings of your competition to see if they are simply faster
designs. http://www.phrfne.org/page/567
Using New England ratings, your boat, a CC 37 (1984) rates 105
CC 39, PHRF 102
CC 38, PHRF 102
Sabre 36, PHRF 117
Tarten Ten, PHRF 126
One idea not mentioned yet, perhaps because it is too obvious, is constant
headsail adjustment, assuming the main is set properly.
When I am not close-hauled (upwind or reaching), I steer a course angle or
position on the horizon and have the head sail trimmer
CONSTANTLY adjusting the
Certainly move the lead all the way outboard if you can still trim the sail
with it there. You'll open up the slot and the boat will stand up better.
I think I'd be inclined to err on the side of too much sail on a reach in order
to power through the lulls.
Ease the back stay a bit, which
Andy, will you be sending a blog or other info about your cruise? (the answer

As a kid I learned, and still adhere to the rule that when sheets are cracked
and racing never cleat sheets. And when in doubt let it out...I find 80% of
folks overtrim.

Actually, you might mean you tried outboard sheeting, not a Barber hauler.
On Touche' we go to outboard sheeting very quickly to open the slot.
As soon as the headsail clew lifts above the lifelines and the jibsheet
touches the lifelines, we're rigging a snatch block to the toe rail and
attaching
Hi All,
I have a Max Prop of unknown diameter (forgot to measure when I had the boat
out of the water). I also have a Volvo Penta 2003 and when I run the engine in
idle I get 3000+ RPM,s but when I run it in gear I only get 1900-2000 RPM’s. I
suspect the pitch is a little high. ( A dripless

Some other things to consider. Is the bottom clean? It the 2000 rpm while
tied to the dock?
