We always offset to show depth under the keel. For Nav purposes it is simple to add 6 feet but while sailing I don’t want to take that extra step of performing mental calculations when in skinny water. We spent 134 years sailing in a very shallow area where often the 0.5 was the number of

Interesting thread. Put me in the move lines forward camp. I’m generating schematics of new line and hardware layouts right now. And one thing that I have been mulling over for quite some time is moving most, but not all, of the halyards back to the mast. Or mast area as it may be. And one the

Dave; my 37 has four cabin top winches and they appear to be original; the spec drawings show two winches and two more as optional equipment; then, of course, there are places for up to four winches on the raised deck areas near the mast, so I'm guessing that the original purchasers would

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

My spin halyards are led from the exit boxes up high on the mast, then through a clutch and down to a block at the base of the mast and to the winch on either side of the mast. I have three winches at the mast base; one dedicated for the main halyard and one for the spin or jib on each side.

Re: Stus-List How to attach a rigid boom vang on LF38

Ah, yes, your blog post has a good picture of one possible setup with a rigid vang. Doesn't the vang hit the mainsheet when you're on a port downwind tack? I've had issues with even my non-rigid vang doing that, and it makes it difficult to sheet the main in. Good call on using the deck block for

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

These observations bring me back to the realities of halyard/reef management with lines led aft versus forward. “Forward” on larger boats generally means winches mounted on the mast in-line with the halyards with appropriate line-stoppers. With this configuration, and suitable bracing, reefing

Stus-List Post to the list

Hi folks, I bought a C 30 this past summer. I have been able to figure everything out except the full cockpit enclosure. It is Sunbrella and comes in a small bag. It attaches to the bimini, after the boom is clipped to the toe rail. I can see where it goes back and there are slots for the twin

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

I use the offset from the transducer to the waterline. That way I read the actual depth of the water. My offset is about 20”. I can then match chart depth to the depth sounder and avoid going agroundor at least pull the throttle back so it’s a soft grounding! Jake Jake Brodersen

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

Calypso still has the halyards and reefing lines forward. The spinnaker pole downhaul (foreguy) runs aft, the pole topping lift can be led forward or aft depending on the number of crew available during dip pole gybes. Calypso, being a very early IOR design with lots of displacement has a

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

Dennis maybe I don't understand what you're saying, but If you want the depth shown to closely match the depth shown on the charts should the off set not be from the transducer up to the waterline instead of down to the bottom of the keel Dwight Veinot C 35 MKII, *Alianna* Head of St. Margaret's

Re: Stus-List How to attach a rigid boom vang on LF38

Patrick — I basically replaced two blocks, each with a roughly 90-degree lead (at the mast/boom gooseneck, and at the mast partners), with a single block with about a 150-degree lead at the deck collar. With enough purchase at the boom for the sheet (in my case, 4:1), I just need to overcome

Stus-List Lines led forward

I wonder, am I alone in the group leading lines forward? The only lines I'm going to have coming aft to the cabin top will be the mainsheet and the traveler lines...and I'm thinking of eliminating the traveler all together. I just don't want all that extra spaghetti in the cockpit. Bulkheads

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

Hi Andy, There are reasons for not going forward. I had a squall hit us when we were off the coast of Maine in big swells. Hanging onto the mast while trying to get the mainsail down wasn't much fun. It might have been better in the safety of the cockpit. I did have a harness on, in case

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

Dennis, I use an offset from the transducer to the bottom of the keel so I read the actual depth under the keel. This way, I can easily tell how much water is under the boat. Comparing the depth shown on the instrument with that charted depth always requires knowing the state of the tide.

It also depends on the size of the boat. An my 45 footer there is more lines forward than on the 25 footer. For me it is much more safety. I have no issues going forward on the 45 footer. But the 25 with curved cabintop etc is scary. Ahmet IRWIN 43 "Waterdancer" C 25 "Tabasco" Boston, MA, USA On

I think it depends on boat setup. On Mojito, primarily used for racing, the bulkheads were only cushioned by the many rope tails - main halyard, 2 x genoa halyards, 2 x spinnaker halyards, 2 x reef lines, cunningham, baby stay, outhaul, pole lift and foreguy (led to both sides) = 13 lines. Pit

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

I agree with you Andy. I cruise/race both solo and with crew and have kept the Main, jib and spin halyards at the mast. I need to be forward to hook everything up anyway and this configuration saves time/energy. I tried single line reefing and it was a pain in the butt for the reason you
