The main sail that was on Alianna when I purchased was fitted with a
Dutchman flaking system. It worked OK but occasionally it would get caught
up in the topping lift at the head of the sail preventing lowering of the
main sail but when it worked, it good...the sail cover required two extra
I have a dutchman system on my new boat, so was looking at this yesterday.
There is no absolute limit on roach or requirement for a topping lift
(there is a need for a line between mast head and boom end, so maybe that's
semantics). With the Tides Marine track and dutchman, the main disappears

I have drilled many a large hole that way. Works great.

I like to differentiate two very different animals:
The Topping Lift" goes to the boom end. The "Spinnaker Pole Lift" controls the
Pole end while there is an uphaul and downhaul on the spin pole car on the
mast, I prefer to name the mast control lines, "spin pole car uphaul and
downhaul".
Brian,
Welcome aboard the cnc-list.
Is it possible the rod is only threaded on the exposed ends allowing it to be
pressed out?

I've removed my rudder arm and it looked nothing like that. It looks like
you are looking at the back side. The 4 bolts accessible from the front
are all you need to remove.

The image link below is of my rudder bearing. It looks to me like it has
dropped down. Being new to me I dont know what it is supposed to look like.
Is the lower ring supposed to be exposed? Or should it be up in the tube?

The link is to a picture of my C 37/40 auto pilot clamp, where it
attaches to the rudder shaft. The threaded rod has no bolt head to unscrew
the rod.
Has anyone dealt with
A marina neighbor gave me a small head sail to sell. It seems to be in
pretty decent condition.
It's a hank on crosscut Dacron. Dimensions are:
Luff 32' 10"
Leech 28' 9"
Foot 12' 3"
LP 10' 6"
Cloth weight is medium to on the heavy side. If critical, I can get my
sail maker to determine
Lower ring is just an acetyl bushing/spacer. After cleaning and roughing
up the chipped out area I would use your favorite faring putty/thickened
epoxy to fill.
Welcome to the list.
We all kinda like to know where you're from so we have sign offs similar to

Hello Brian,
I see you found your way onto the C List. Welcome.
Can you thread a nut onto the threaded rod? In other words, are the
threads in good enough condition to allow yo to thread a nut onto the end
of the rod that is sticking out?
If so, can you get two nuts on there at the same time?
Brian,
I looked at your picture again and realized that it appears the four bolts
have already been removed. Did the arm come off and now only the back
remains? I'm thinking more and more that vice-grips are in your future.

Hi Chuck,
Maybe I should have used in the response. Email message can be
difficult to express subtleties, but I probably should have warned
you about clarifying sailing terms here. My approval rating has been
about 50/50 so far.
The topping lift was never just for the main boom. It was in

I guess I need a bit of education from the list.
The boats that I have been on that have a Dutchman flaking system (which is
only 1 or 2) have all had the top of the vertical (monofilament?) lines that
the sail slides down attached to the topping lift. I thought this was the
norm. Dwight’s
