Speaking of hatches, I’ve had a brand new Vitus hatch sitting in my garage (in the box) for quite some time. I’m guessing it’s about 24 x 24. When I bought it, my evil plan was to replace the Atkins and Hoyle hatch on the 42, but the Vitus was not a perfect fit and I decided to go the

I had my cradle rebuilt after I purchased my 42. The new supports were made of steel tubing which hold the boat stands in place. The fabricator didn't put drain holes in the bottoms of the tubes where they're welded to the frame. After several years, one of the steel tubes filled up with enough

My 42 Custom also sails fine with just a genny (153 on a furler). This is funny: the Admiral is not too keen on the boat heeling way over, and she always thought the main was the culprit. This was a logical conclusion for a novice sailor because we always cruise with the genny, so when you

Also, in response to Marek: the pulling load appears to be handled by the track. The bolts prevent the boom vang fitting from moving back and forth. Also, I plan to use the same length bolts, if possible. If I need to go slightly longer for the RivNut, so be it. Thanks. -Original

Getting ready to pull the trigger on the RivNut idea. The stainless RivNuts I found have a grip range of 0.027"-0.125". I was able to measure the thickness of the aluminum I'm going through: 1/8" (maybe a micron or two heavy), which is the top of the range. For those familiar with these things,
