Ditto to what Edd advises except for: 1) Really light air –we have an extra set of sheets ready to go of light sheets and shackles – reduces weight of the chute so it still can fly and makes a HUGE difference 2) Heavy air – the 34 is rather tender so the chute overpowers everything

Tom, Good advice so far. <35 feet end for end. My most important advice = train your crew, and especially your helmsperson, to visualize the boat turning under the chute. NOT the chute coming across the boat. Have your crew visualize the chute going dead downwind without changing aspect. The

Tom, The Enterprise-A was a C 34, which was very similar to yours. While I can say universally that you should disconnect the babystay when using the chute, I’ll state that the answer to your other questions, at least for me, depends on conditions. A single sheet and single guy, going end to

Your spinnaker is just a small bit larger than mine – less than a foot longer in the foot and a few feet taller. That is possible to handle with two folks on the foredeck – end for end jibing and a 13 foot pole. On the 30-1, our pole is 13 ½ feet and our hoist is 39 whereas yours is 44. We have

If your traditional boat sanitation system is stinking it usually means one of a few things, it isn't vented properly and it essentially anaerobic your hoses are so old they are emitting odor you're flushing raw water and the dead organisms caught in your supply water hose are decomposing

Bob, I've been on boats with marine heads that absolutely stunk. I've been on yours and can attest that I was not offended by any discernable odor. That being said, I believe you were on board my boat? Did you recall noticing any offending odors? I may be nose blind to it but I would

I believe that regardless of method (end-for-end or dip jibe) the consensus is that the baby stay is best disconnected and stowed at/on the mast collar. I've always been an end-for-end foredeck crew but that was on someone else's boat. With just 2 spin-lines (1 guy and 1 sheet) it kept the setup

A composting toilet has MUCH less odor than any marine head. The only reason for "not completely composting" is that it would take too long. We change our solids container every 3 weeks (2 of us) while we're cruising and it looks like a very dark soil except for the most recent additions. I

I am not sure that is an issue. I never did think it was going to make literal garden compost that could go right from the boat to my yard. What I do worry about is how user friendly it will be and if it ends up being a stinking mess. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List
