I'll let the skilled folks chime in with more specific answers, but I can relate what one of our handy guys did to his Cal 34 a few years ago. It is something you could do to get started. Where the cabin roof was soggy, he covered the boat (in the water for the winter) and put a heater inside.

Yours is hull number 671, built in 1981 (don't know the month, but I think it is May). Mine is ZZC 30 593 M 80 B. So, it looks like they made 77 boats in little more than a year. Gary - Original Message - From: Curtis via CnC-List To: Hoyt, Mike ; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent:

It depends on the jib. On some boats (mine), you can move the car forward like Joel says, on others (like the J-24 I used to race on and the J-80 I race on now) you have a separate short track inside the shrouds to run the jib (blade type) through. Gary - Original Message - From:

If you buy a brand new Garhauer, you can have them custom make the mast and boom plates for attaching it for that price. Thus, having to fabricate that yourself, the old one should be discounted a bunch! I would start at half of what it cost new (back in the day) and then figure out how much it

There is a national database of PHRF ratings, giving the highest, lowest, and average for each boat. I don't think it has 'stock' boats only, meaning the range could include modifications or rating adjustments. Look at USSailing and then PHRF, and you should find it. Gary St. Michaels, MD
