After freezing my tail off last season on some overnight races, I finally
broke down and am in the process of installing a heater on the boat.
With the reverse angle on the transom, I understand there can be issues
installing the straight through transom fitting that came with the kit. I

I also have a 37 and happy to help out if you have any questions.

True North is in Thunder Bay, Ont. I saw her in August when in the area for a
race. There’s also another custom 37 there called Pennycress.Pennycress
annually comes down to Bayfield Race Week, but I haven’t seen either in the
Trans for a while.

In addition to the comments on rod rigging, and as a point of reference for
you on costs, I had an old Stearns headstay/furler and replaced it this fall
with a Harken. This required that I add a new forestay. For multiple
reasons I went with rod vs wire. Total cost for just the

Not this time, but I downloaded the race app on my Ipad (Volvo Ocean Race
2014). With the tracking and video footage, this is going to be crazy
cool.

Ditto on the sailtec. Good Wisconsin company.
7 yrs and no issues for me. Of course I take it off every fall and store
inside for the winter.
Good idea of Harken pumping both ways.if you're into that.

I always understood the on-the-water hours qualification was the more limiting
restriction. Is that not in place anymore?
I know a lot of licensed captains out there aren’t worth a damn. IE: It takes
more than just passing a test.

I'll chime in.I did that job about 3 years ago and am glad I did.Note
that it's no silver bullet. Martin's comment that no one asks if the
diesel is running is still accurate, but it's a lot better. As I get
older the engine doesn't sound as bad as it used to, so I have that going
We just finished a week long distance race series and during the race I
noticed that the blocks that we lube with T-9 become pretty gunked up. We
cleaned with a solvent, rinsed with soapy water and fresh water, then
re-applied. Same result after a day or two. Anyone have similar
experience?
I recently had a mid-distance race in which a majority of the race was tight
reaching in flat water, 10-15 breeze. We had our heavy #1 up. A number of
boats (CC39, CC38, Sabre 36, Tarten Ten) worked up on us pretty well in
those conditions. I obviously need to trim the sails differently and
Hey Fred - glad you're getting in the water - Just in time of Race Week.
FYI we have a new Jib and Main class this year with a great turn out
already. You'd do really well.

Nate – check with the guys at Barker’s. They stock some stuff, or may have
better connections on ordering. No guarantee on best pricing though.

On my 37, the babystay has two tie rods going from the deck to the hull. On
this boat these run straight down on either side of the door to the head.
There are turnbuckles at the base of the rod by the hull to adjust the tension.
In my case, one is significantly looser than the other.
Steve - I haven’t done this on a boat as big as yours, but in the past we have
taken a line from the butt of the mast forward to a snatch block and then back
to a winch and grind it forward. Not really as hard as it sounds. Obviously
get the rig loose first, etc.Hope that helps.
I scanned through the photos of 2012 Annapolis-Bermuda race and found a 37
named “Impromptu” out of Galesville, MD. Anyone know it?

I’m going to insert a comment here on keeping perspective with PHRF ratings. I
recently had a conversation with an individual affiliated with our local
ratings and he commented that 3 secs equates to approximately 1 boat length for
every mile raced. So as nice as it is to get 3 or 6 secs,

Check with your local phrf organization or sail maker. This is the formula I
was given for spin sail area in sqft. See if it makes sense for you.
PHRF Rule
((SLU+SLE) x (4*SMG + SF))/12
Slu = spin luff
Sle = spin leach
Smg = spin mid-girth
Sf = spin foot
