For more anchor testing than you can imagine, check out the SV Panope channel on youtube - Steve is an anchor testing fanatic. Holding, different bottoms, veer testing... I'm running a 15kg Rocna with 65 ft of chain plus nylon.  So far so good... Graham Collins Secret Plans C 35-III #11 On

That's Dyform wire. And a few years ago (circa 2012?) I rerigged my 38 mkll using it. A few thousandths bigger diameter than the #10 rod, a few hundred pounds higher break strength, and about 100 pounds more weight aloft. But the complete rerig was about the same as the cost to get the rod

Korby; The question your really need to ask yourself is how you will be using the radar? Is it for weather spotting when out sailing? Collision avoidance when offshore and range is most important? Or for entering harbor or negotiating in a restricted waters? Radar on the mast puts the antenna

You would hold better with more chain, like 35-50 ft min of 5/16 for your C 34 and scope is very important. So mark you rode and try to get a good set and put out at least 4 times as much rode as depth but preferably 7 times. I have a C 35 and have used 35 pound CQR and now 15 Kg Bruce with 50

Rockna w 100’ of chain plus 200’ rode. In the Pacific northwest more chain seems to be the default. I suspect the same goes for AK. Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C 305.409.3660 > On Jul 11, 2021, at 7:56 AM, Korbey Hunt via CnC-List > wrote: > >  >

I just ordered a new main from Jenkins Sails in Easton, MD. I chose to go with GPL Lite Skin fabric for its longevity, ability to hold its shape, ease of handling (much lighter than Dacron), and abrasion resistance. Great price; and Jenkins came highly recommended; he was the sailmaker at the

Yea, it can be quite a task getting pricing from the various sources.   I've done it before. The first time, i used porpoise sails in Florida and got a used head sail and a new main.   I had no idea what i was doing and the prices were great. The second time,  After a lot of quotes, i ended up
