Hey Shawn,
Great, valuable response.
Thanks and good luck racing. I hope you can find one crew w racing knowledge.
The rest will fall inline. Best of luck.

I'm going to give my perspective as a novice racer (although I did race
Lasers as a teen), and what didn't work to keep me as crew.
I crewed on my neighbour's boat for two distance races, a two day regatta,
and about half a dozen Sunday club races since the spring. My last race
with him was a few

I have to disagree with Dennis on the value of boat T shirts. We had 16 oz
styrofoam cups with the boat name and boat with sailplan printed on the
cups. Perhaps it was our age at the time but it always seemed the crew
couldn't care less what they were wearing if the cup was always full! On

It’s good to do some some sailing with your crew before entering in a
race. Get some friends and maybe their friends and go sailing together and
treat your guests to fun on your boat the same as what you would do if
racing. If they have fun word will spread and before you know it you will
have a
Keep it relaxed. Have fun. Focus more on the enjoyment than the
performance. After the crew starts showing up regularly, they'll start
wanting to be more competitive. It should come from them.
Give out a bunch of T-shirts. When other folks see your crew on the dock
and on the boat in them
1+ to Joel's and Andrew's lists.
Others have mentioned getting friends rather than rock stars--amen to that!
Also, supply appropriate liquids and lunch if an all day affair and have a few
adult beverages after the racing is done, at the dock or clubhouse.
Also, treat them to crew tickets to any
My wife came out with us on a Wednesday night race (our local “serious” night)

Yes that was with all spars and standing rigging aboard (and probably 15-20
pounds of wood cradling them). At the time she didn’t have a vang. Yes

Sail with people you like!
Let the guys on the bow do the bow; let the guys on the halyards and sheets do
the halyards and sheets. If you’re steering, steer! If they have a screw up you
can be pretty sure they know and equally sure they are working to fix it. They
do t need you to tell them.
I'm talking about the storages under the starboard side settee seat. You
could put 13 gallon Plastimo flex tanks in 1, 2 or 3 of them. It wouldn't
be very efficient as the hull curvature would probably prevent full
expansion of the tanks.
With the aft dinette under seat storage empty once you

measured or for production boats that the manufacturer certify the empty

Joe,
If you decide to install an AC, get with me. My buddy and I have installed
several. I can help. I have a big discharge grill in the bulkhead facing
aft. It kicks butt! See:

The AC tucks into the aft half of the hanging
Great idea.
Also make sure you all have common goals. Having the super-intense rock star
who thinks his whole future career rides on finishing first no matter what and
the guy that wants the crew to give him space to cook a 4 course dinner on the
same boat is not always a good combo.

I had a crew member who returned to school to work on a Masters degree and
eventually a Ph.D. He became president of the Graduate Students Association at
a local university.
I had an almost unlimited supply of ideal crew members.

I am in on the air conditioning idea. My wife is less and less tolerant of heat
as time marches on and some nights it is over 90 degrees air temp and mid 80s
water temps past midnight ☹. I figure I would use a Y fitting and vent cold
air forward and aft with bulkhead vents.
I am not sure what
I assume that is including mast, rigging and maybe a boom vang?
Is Grenadine tiller, maybe 60 pounds lighter than a wheel?
With Windburn reasonably cleaned out but leaving all of the
requisite safety equipment on the weight is around 9500 pounds
at haulout. That is without the mast, shrouds,
Do what I did, put a nice CruisAir 16KBTU air conditioner in the hanging
locker. Moved center of weight forward and starboard. :)
The easiest thing is to put one or two flex tanks for your fresh water
under the settee or on the floor of the hanging locker. Then toss the OEM
fresh water tank.
My 35-2 is similar, except with water tanks to starboard, so if I put
enough heavy stuff under the settee it is balanced when the tanks are
full...not so much when they are near empty. I have two 6V batts in port
locker just behind fridge, and two more under seat of nav station, with

While we are talking about weights, something that drives me NUTS is everything
heavy on my boat is on the port side. Batteries are on port. The midships water
tank is on port. The largest storage area below is on port.
Has anyone with a 35 MKI I figured out how to move heavy stuff to starboard?
Thanks from me too! I love it when we get expert info :D
I have always wondered how the 35 MK II gained so much weight vs. the MK I when
they are very similar boats. Maybe they just went from “target weight” to
actual weight LOL.

Rob, thank you for jumping in on this...your explanation is very helpful; can
you elaborate on how those design weights and specs affect the normally used
ratios; SA to displacement; displacement to length, and Ball-Displacement? Are
the "design" numbers used or are the boats weighed? Also,

Joe,
I like the idea of a 3 way toggle switch and ring terminals! Hopefully it
will fit in the hole where the current switch is.

When I, or any other designer, starts out a project, he makes a decision about
what weight the design is aimed at. Then create a hull shape that has that
exact volume. Then the rest of the design follows suit.
Meanwhile, if a company wants to sell any of these, some specs need to be
available
