Rick, This has been discussed recently for shorthanded sailing on the Chesapeake. Bottom line is there is no way to race spin and non-spin together fairly. You can come up with a differential, bu it nothing more than a SWAG Joel On Friday, March 20, 2015, Rick Brass via CnC-List

Rick, In my opinion the adjustment would have to be based on the wind speed and angle too much to be do-able. A much easier solution would be to get the class to all agree to run in one class or the other...most likely JAM. Any way you do it, if I can clear the schedule, I’ll be there! James

Stus-List PHRF Adjustments for Spin and JAM in a single fleet

OK. I know this has been discussed before. But I just spent almost two hours in the mail archives rereading a whole bunch of previous messages, trying to come up with a consensus opinion on how to adjust PHRF ratings to allow spin and JAM boats to compete in a single (small) fleet. What I

For racing on Long Island and the Hudson River the spin and non-spin ratings are not intended to be used to combine fleets. These ratings reflect differences in a boats ability when racing in either a spin or non-spin fleet. For example if you use a spinnaker pole as a whisker pole in

Think of the vertical bumps on Anderson winches. If your winches are aluminum, I wonder if there is any reason why a decent welder couldn't run some smooth vertical beads on the drums. Steve Thomas 27 MKIII - Original Message - From: Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List To: CC List

I had a set of aluminum Enkes knurled at a friend's machine shop once. They were on my J-24, and since I couldn't afford new winches (rather put the money in sails) if figured what the heck. they held up ok for a few seasons, but not having been re-anodized, they gave up some grip over time.

I had all of Lewmar Ocean series ST winches (6) knurled at a local machine shop several years ago. I just took the outside parts to them and with their help decided on a knurl that appeared to be a good compromise between grip and tearing up the line. Cost me $30 each and the grip is still
