If you don’t have any charging sources at anchor, there is no reason for it to
be on.
On, without the batteries combined, it draws 15mA or 0.015 amps.
Each day, it’ll take .36 amps. In a week, it’ll be 2.5 amps. After 8 weeks
it’ll be just over 20 amps. Not a whole lot. If your bank is, say,
My 1995 36 XL was delivered with a hydraulic backstay which I have used
regularly with one trip to the local hydraulic shop to replace the seals
(~$250). Of course, the stern steps were likely designed to withstand the
loading this can produce--if not it was over-designed since I have never had
It draws a small amount of power. I am not sure if you would notice, but
I would turn it off for an 8 week stay.

Assuming I understand your question correctly - Leave the ACR off. This
ensures that if one of the batteries has a lingering load that it won't
drain both batteries.

I'd have turned it off, but as you say it is low draw so probably no
foul. Let us know in 8 weeks! :-)

I moved my boat to a nearby anchorage to avoid having to drive to the marina to
do the same for every storm coming this August/September. (My club requires
that boats be out of their slips when a hurricane warning is issued for our
county in NC).

I have the hydraulic backstay on my ‘85 33/2, I believe I saw a late model 33/2
for sale with a split backstay, was surprised to see it, but wasn’t enough
visible in the pictures to figure out what/how it was done or even if it was
original to the boat or year of manufacture as I remember

The 33-LLP was one o& 5he first C’s to use a frame carrying the loads, stays,
keel, engine, and a skin for the hull - Rob Ball may correct me on this!
So I would think it would take some engineering to create strong enough
attachment points for your changes. I would be looking at lubricating
Wade - I have a 33-2 without a tensioning wheel, just yer basic turnbuckle. I
am easily able to tighten it to the point where the cabin door binds. (I then
back it off a bit.).Not sure about your cohort up there but in the fun
contests here, the 33-2 easily outruns most of its peers and
I think after you get through with all that, a 5 or 6 hundred dollar hydraulic
backstay tensioner on EBay would look kind of cheap.
Sometimes trying to save a few bucks ends up costing several bucks.
Just my opinion, from having done the same.

If you do that, make sure the leech of the main will clear the backstay.

Dear Listers,
As many of you know, the 33 MK II has a single rod backstay which
terminates approximately in the centre of the reverse transom. I don't
have a hydraulic backstay tensioner. Instead there is a small (perhaps 6")
diameter wheel in the backstay which can be turned by hand (rather

There have been a couple of threads here on "dimples" on the topsides of
the earlier models, in particular the 32's. My 35-1 had dimples at the
braces for the upper shrouds. It also had a slight pattern of roving
showing also. I sanded these blemishes out when I had the topsides
repainted.

To your point about hydraulic backstay adjusters - when last boat shopping I
learned to sight along the topsides and look for hull buckling in the area of
the shrouds - some was quite pronounced. This was an issue with several late
‘60s/early 70s boats I looked at, and there seemed to be a
Hi Walker,
What’s your new boat? I’m a bit of a C junkie, we’ve had a 27 and now a
35-II, so I sent your email out to the cruising club.
Hope that helps, Lee

Hi Folks,
I'm moving up to a bigger boat and so I must sell my C 30 Mark I. The
Endeavour was a great first boat for me and I've added some upgrades in the
3 years I've owned her. She is rigged for single handed sailing and in good
condition. She is currently located in Port Angeles, WA and
