Thanks for getting back to me Rob.
Really I'm seeking a checklist specific to the 32 for points to be aware
of. I know for example, that some owners get concerned about the ports, on
this boat they have been replaced and I did see that one owner was having
an issue with sourcing the correct
Fair enough Rob, and better it be used by someone!
The best sail is the one you are comfortable flying. Fair winds!

Ray,
Have you considered just doing the painting less often and sticking with the
VC? I know a number of people that just use a Scotchbrite pad to remove some
of the oxidation and go 2 years or more between coats.
In fresh water, it’s what most boat owners want to use and a boat that has
Most paints will not stick over VC17. You have to remove all of it first,
before applying a new bottom paint. I think Pettit makes a bottom paint
remover that works well to remove VC17. Then sand and apply new paint.

Hi Edd- I find your comments on Vivid interesting as my experience is
different. I love the color, but I am going to switch away from it next year
after 5-6 years with it. I can only clean it with a microfiber cloth and even
then you can see loads of paint in the water (mine is white). It is
I am on lake Champlain NY , I've had VC-17 for maybe 20 years, only do
touch-ups where it is needed ( always the front part of the rubber ), a single
can last for 3-4 years.

Ray,
I’ve been using Petit Vivid for years — It’s a great multi-season paint and
your bottom cleaner will love you for the brighter color choice. It was also
ranked very high by Practical Sailing.
I’m not sure what kind of work you’ll need to do, if any, to apply it to a
VC-17 bottom. Talk
Everyone:
For the past several years, at the beginning of the season, I have been
sanding the bottom and have painted it with VC-17. I am no longer going
to be racing. It is fresh water boat. I am reaching out to determine what
bottom paint i should go with that is less work every year.
JP, what are you asking for the ATN Sock and Tacker?

I have a Gennaker that came with my boat when I bought it, also North, also
with collar for collapsing. The whole setup works really well. I am starting
to use it more also, especially shorthanded and cruising in light air. Mine
seems overly long in luff/leech dimensions. When hoisted and

I've removed/replaced the HP pump. The inboard fuel lines are really only
best reached with the other fuel lines removed. It kinda sucks. There is
also an upper fuel fitting and a lower pump discharge check valve fitting.
If loosening the fuel lines, it is not uncommon to inadvertently loosen
So I finally (knew there was small fuel leak somewhere around there somewhere)
found a little fog of fuel leaking at the high pressure pump at the point of
where one of the fuel lines attach to the pump. Before I dive into the repair
manual and make a mess, any experiences with this? I
