Hi Eugene, Welcome to the group. I have an 83 Mk II. Been out in 30-35 knots and 5-6' seas. She's no 40 footer, but she actually handles it pretty well. You might get a bit wet though without a dodger. As for the spreaders, mine has a bracket that wraps the mast with studs that the spreaders

Bev, So fun going by memory. When I splashed Beemer in December, I had a wonderful stream of water from my stuffing box. Unscrewed and added one loop of packing. All dry after. 90% certain it was 3/8 thick. As Russ mentioned, other than a stream of water (not bad), easy to do while boat is in

Chris, I do not use a Loos gage on Beemer, 29mkll, to tune my rig. My process is as follows. With all stays and shrouds lose, I tension the stays so I have approximately 9 inches rake along the boom using a weight on the main halyard. Forestay first, then backstay to remove slop. I them tension

First let me apologize. I do get carried away writing at times. Until Beemer, 29mkII, was moved down to Biloxi 14 months ago, she had been a lake boat for ten years, day sailing and spending weekends in the marina, racing around the cans. Sailing on a friends 48' Tayana occasionally over the
