Amen to that. I have had the Garhauer rigid vang for many years on my 30-1

Harken) to be much easier to use and adjust than the

We've had a Garhauer on Perception for over 10 years have been very pleased
with it - have added a lot of other Garhauer stuff as a result - blocks,
sheaves, traveller Always great price for great quality, and very helpful
when you need custom things like sheaves, and goose necks.

Thanks guys
I do like the Garhauer stuff. Not sure if I mentioned before but I have a
Garhauer mainsheet set-up (but Harken parts for a new traveller, due to the
space/clearance limitations in the traveller recess in front of the
companionway), miscellaneous other blocks and I just acquired
Too late for that.
I have a Garhauer vang.
Garhauer locked up a contract with Catalina some time ago, which I
believe provided them with enough of a predictable and significant
revenue stream to staff up and provide a good customer service staff.
Frankly, before they landed that contract
If you talk to Guido he will make you a traveler specifically made to fit the
space/clearance issues of the recess. That is what he did for the traveler for
my 38: Taller track and slightly narrower car for clearance in the recess,
longer than normal length to maximize the amount of travel,
+1 on that.
But I am not sure if we should spread the word too far. We risk that everyone
would flock to Garhauer and they would be overwhelmed, raise the prices and
drop the customer support. we cannot afford to deal with overly successful
companies. We probably should keep quiet about it.
Rex,
I've seen it done both ways. Do you have a stern gate? If so, I'd recommend the
stern.
You want it in a place where, in an emergency, it can easily be deployed and
boarded from the deck.
The stern is also best in case the boat turtles quickly. It's easier to swim
down and
North but I’m biased - ordered two sails from them over the winter - a radian
main and a norlam XW genoa. Where are you located? Sails are always worth the
investment.

To change your list
Has anyone mounted a liferaft on a 41? 6 person offshore being delivered
today in canister. The way I see it, I can either mount on a cradle in
front of the companionway (may block visibility from helm) or on the stern
rail. Anybody have experience in this? Opinions?

Rex:
There is a school of thought that says it really doesn’t matter where you mount
it. If you need it, it will get deployed. Not entirely true but not completely
wrong either. I’d vote for stern but wherever is convenient and modify your
plans accordingly. Don’t block your visibility.
I'm a proud new owner of a CC 32 and a novice sailor. I'm trying to get a
better handle on the fairly complex layout of the deck tackle on this boat. Is
there any resource (i.e. diagram) available that would explain the arrangement
of blocks, winches, etc. for this boat? I would have thought
If the mast and step are both aluminium why bother. If the are dissimilar
metals it would probably be a good idea.

Brad — Graham’s advice is smack on. If your old drive still works (and is
adequate for the boat’s displacement), you can use it with a new autopilot
control unit. If you’re going with the EV-100, you’ll still want to have the
p70 control head; you can enable/disable the pilot from the a95,
The US has every right to set the rules for Cruising Permits or anything

inconsistent applications of them. This has got to hurt the businesses

Far be it for me to defend the Homeland Security bureaucracy and the fact
that they have very different clearance procedures depending where in the
US you clear in, and very rarely do the procedures agree with what's posted
on their website. I've cleared in at Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Newport,

Consider a Boom kicker in conjunction with your soft vang as another option.
Plan on $300 brand new. On our J-27 I opted for a US Spars rigid vang for $400
new. I gave away my rope vang and blocks (the fiddle block was 1 year old)
when I added this. Most of the J27 fleet went with
Garhauer rigid vang is $400-$500, not $1200. I have one on my 27-5 and
it is perfect. Garhauer is a great company to deal with, and their stuff
is very high quality.
