I just bought a new ev100 wheel pilot and after about 6 hours of use it started to squeal. Problem was the same, squeak was in the clutch roller on the eccentric attached to the clutch handle. The eccentric on the other side of the motor is the tension adjuster, and it is a mirror image of the

Here's my two cents. I almost never use the main - at all - in heavy wind, upwind or downwind. I roller furl till it's comfortable, and that's that. To jibe single handed, I first wrap the jib on the opposite side, pull out all the slack and then a bit more, and cleat it - easy with a

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 148, Issue 68

Per previous, Pegathy has a Chesapeake Sailmakers stack pack - not attached to the sail. I can drop the sail quickly, with the pack fully up - and - if I'm into the wind - it will mainly flake itself. That said, when I have crew, I will go to the mast and flake it as someone else lets the sail

Pegathy has a stack pack made by Chesapeake sailmakers. It's wonderful. Head to wind, drop the main, zip it up. Well, not quite that easy, usually have to push the sail of the top edge of the pack and inside, but close. The front comes off and the pack can be lashed to the boom for racing,

Re: Stus-List Short handed sailing; sail selection - now lazy jacks

Two years ago I had Chesapeake Sailmakers make a stack pack for Pegathy. The actual admiral (Pegathy's her college nickname) is less than 5'. That's all she'll admit to. So it's difficult for her to help flake a main that's sliding all over the cabin top, much less help put on the sailcover.

For what it's worth, I refurbed Pegathy's MO pole 2 years ago. Sanded the fiberglass pole, painted it with Krylon for plastic. Has held up well. Peeled the rubber coating from the float, and painted that with the rubber coating used for pliers' handles. That's held up well, too, but it's not
