Re: Stus-List Can't close the v-berth door

I’m thinking that this might be a common issue along the C line, at least from our vintage years. About a year after I acquired our boat and getting the rig rebuilt (I bought it with the mast on the deck as an abandoned bank-repo) and the boat in the water the v-berth door stopped closing.

Re: Stus-List Electrical panel

Josh — all of the solid-state radar scanners and displays are MUCH more energy efficient than their predecessors. The choice of scanner mostly comes down to whether it’s going to attach to an MFD, or be a black-box unit. If’s it’s going to an MFD, you need to stick with the same manufacturer

Same here Chuck. The unit seems pretty bomb proof. Unlike you I don't really know what I'm looking at and typically I don't motor at night, just sail so my electrical needs are carefully considered. 200W of solar, 90Amp alternator, and 600Ah of batteries helps ease my concerns. Josh On Thu,

“Ease the sheets, turn upwind, whatever but don't winch the furling line.” Actually, I find that turning downwind is much easier - no flogging sail, less force on the sheet and you might even shadow your jib with the main. Easy. Other than that I fully agree with Dennis. A big point: never use

I've had this (minor) issue over a year where we can't fully close the v-berth door on our Landfall 38. At first I thought it was just due to heat expansion of the wood in the summer, but it started roughly after I tightened the main shrouds a couple turns (due to masthead fall off in higher
