I asked about maintenance on the PYI seal and was told to replace the bellows
every 5-7 years. I’ve found that it is best to replace the unit as by that
time the carbon seal is starting to score and requires replacement also. The
bellows is the weak link in the system and since failure of
My first one lasted from about 1988 to around 2012. I may have left it in a bit
long.

Has anyone repainted or touched up their boot top and if so how did it turn out?

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and
every one is greatly appreciated. If you want to support the list
I wish there was a secret formula on that beyond who you already know,
luck, time, and lots of patience..
This year I decided to up our game and go spinnaker class only to be
reminded (Too many times) why I didn't do it in the past.
Main reason for staying JAM before: crew.

Very insightful, Shawn. Thanks.

Yes, We repainted both the Blue and Red boot stripes on our C 35-3
last spring. We used Interlux Boot Stripe paint. It came out well.
We've had many compliments on both the update to the boot stripe as well
as the other clean up of the boat. It was pretty dirty and in great

Hi Rod,
I did mine using Petit Perfection (Now called Interlux Perfection) and
after 6 coats on one side and 5 on the other it came out: Perfect. After 5
years, it's still perfect and the only maintenance it has received is the
occasional wipe down using lake water while we're swimming.
I have really enjoyed seeing the range of boats on the course this season,
and it's been educational to see how a well sailed but humble boat like a
Newport 28 (C underbody, but doesn't look quick at all) can beat the
usual runaway winner in our club, a CM1200. I'm told the carbon fibre mast

JAM vs Spinnaker racing
Moving up to Spinnaker racing was always my goal. It's a way to learn more
about sailing and racing and the ultimate test of ones skills and a way to
measure improvements. But it requires more hands, more crew and more crew
skills, more money, more tactical/sailing
Hey Francois,
I was thinking of you when I started this thread. I like your comments on how
the female changes the male behavior.
Your son might be able to recruit some college friends on board. I remember my
son brought a couple guys on board and they brought friends who turned into a
I removed the old cove stripe and replaced using vinyl 3M tape. Excellent
result. The prep is the same as tape, but painting requires taping off and two
days to apply two coats. Interlux must sit 16 hours before sanding. Instead
the 3M Vinyl tape can be done in a smaller weather window,
Good suggestion,
15 years ago as my daughter was graduating Case , she said , “bad news is I am
moving to Baltimore, so I can’t crew for you this summer, but the good news is,
that Mac (a friend of hers from Case) just got a job at the Erie GE, and he can
sail for you”
And he has been on the

What’s the “JAM” component as a supplement for spinnaker? I fly an
asymmetrical if I’m short-handed…the dip pole is a beast and I need about 4 to
really keep on top of it.
Agree on crew challenges…lot to ask for a consistent group all summer. I have
a good go-to

I don't know, it might be cheaper in the long run to move somewhere with a
more competitive JAM fleet.

You are correct regarding expense--spin racing just requires more of
everything--crew, boat, gear, sails, food, drinks, etc.
I like to race in what my crew prefers and also in the most competitive arena.
Locally at least, the JAM fleet is not competitive enough for us--except for
those whose

The company is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and headed by Craig Summers.

I do the JAM fleet with Halcyon my C 37 and now just for regattas
No way This rookie could rustle up enough crew to fly my spinnaker And very
few boats doing that class.
However I love spinnaker racing and my solution was for less than the price

Yes, spinnakers can nearly double your racing costs. Years ago, at the
height of Touche's racing program, we had 0.6, 0.75 and 1.5 oz chutes, two
part high tech Dyneema/StaSet spin sheets, Harken carbo-ratchet tweakers
(twings), custom chute launch bags, double pole downhaul(goes down each
side
Aaahh. Thought it was a new item I’ve should buy.

My shower drain won't pump the water out. I have removed and cleaned the rule
pump. Nothing there. The switch will start the pump running. No change in
water level. At approximately the same time, the water does not come into the
toilet bowl. Turn the knob to fill the bowl, and pump handle.
