Martin,
Wow! wire in the luff this is for some serious conditions.
And the 5 500 km shipping cost would probably be more expensive than the
sail... but thanks for the offer.
Still waiting for a reply from my sailmaker, but I'm pretty sure the feedback
will be similar to the one I received
Bruno,
I have a 2.2oz “chicken chute” with wire in the luff tapes packed away in
Calypso’s storage locker.
I have not hoisted it but have stretched it out in a loft to evaluate its
condition. My guess it was made by Hood back in the 70’s. It looks like a good
used low mileage sail with
Thank you all for the group wisdom.
To be clear my plan was never to compensate the shorter length of the luff by
not hoisting the chute to the masthead. I am fully aware of the consequences in
higher winds. I have seen people do that before when the chute is on the
smaller side in the
+1 on all comments on how fly it safely—especially fully hoisting it!
On one of my earlier kite disasters, we failed to notice that our hoist was 6-8
feet short of full hoist with my masthead full shouldered kite during a
practice run dead downwind.
The wind was up, of course, and within 15-20
When I switch my head to use fresh water, the flow is supplied by my regular
fresh water pump. I can see no reason not to plumb it that way. Most boats
follow suit. There is no way effluent could get into the FW system.

Dennis, either that or just set her up by the lee and boogie with the weather
rail awash! :)
We actually went wing and wing by the lee for a couple of miles with the
asymmetric kite on the Baltic 47 in a windy race last summer. But Masquerade is
post IOR and a lot easier to keep on the edge
No.
It’s completely isolated/dedicated.

Bruno, I tried what you are thinking about. It didn’t work. Dennis is right,
you do not want three feet of halyard swinging your chute around – it does not

It does make a difference with odor. Only down side is you use freshwater
faster.

A heavy weather chute should have narrow shoulders. It should be fully
hoisted. Failure to fully hoist in heavy weather will increase the
potential for oscillation and loss of control.
While we're on heavy weather spin flying, on Touche', we never ever let the
center seam cross to the weather
Perhaps another route to consider is converting to a fresh water system. On our
new boat a previous owner converted the sea-water Lavac vacuum head to
freshwater, the source being the port side water tank. Seems to be very good at
keeping the odor down although we haven’t had the boat through a

Sounds like what we used to call a “Chicken chute,” Bruno.
A heavy air kite should be narrower at the top and flatter than than your
regular kite... do hoist it all the way up or you will find it will oscillate
more and steer the boat for you...perhaps in directions you don’t want to go!

Just an aside on the true coal tar epoxy, like what rustolem co sells. My 82'
C 34 had a cast iron centerboard. wire wheeled the board, painted 2 coats of
coal tar and after 12 yrs of owning the boat there was no sign of rust bleeding
thru. Awesome stuff for protecting steel in salt water !
Jim
FWIW, I don’t like that type of bristle for most epoxy work (I use West System)
as hairs come out and get stuck in the epoxy. I use plastic bristle
throw-aways instead. However, if you cut the bristles short on the hair
brushes, they are very good for pushing West System/colloidal silica
Bruno,
Sounds about right. Just don't hoist the chute to the masthead.

A box of chip brushes lasts me a few years and if you do a lot of boat projects
and stuff around the house, it saves a ton of money to buy in bulk. I use them
for epoxy, painting, varnishing and throw away after use.
Question for the spinnaker gurus of the group:
The light/medium sym spinfor my 33-2 has a luff/leech lenght of 44 ft and a
foot of 23.3 ft. This is a sail designed for this boat
I'm looking at a used spin that seems to be a heavier cloth, that would be used
as a S-3. The dimensions are Luff:
I will chime in here with a glowing recommendation for the Airhead composting
toilet. I’ve had mine for more than five years now. I used the space that was
used for the old holding tank for an extra diesel fuel tank.
