Not strictly related to exterior gelcoat (all mine has been painted), but I
have been amazed at the colour variations of the gelcoat on the interior
liners. Here are a few examples. One shows the area behind the portlight
trim pieces in the salon, and the other shows beneath two different head
Supposedly many 1980's C's (like my 1908 30-1) had a little yellow and a
little brown added to the white.
That's from listers years ago, I've not tried it.

Yes? I’ve used it on all of the deck bolts along the toe rail. Any single one
that leaks gets a little wrap of butyl tape and then tightened back into place
(I don’t turn the screw, just tighten the nut). It seems to squeeze into the
space very well. This has held up for a season or two. Will
I'm rebedding deck hardware and bought Butyl Tape but I'm not convinced this is
best for me. Butyl has a cult following but it was not chosen by C during
the build except for the hull deck joint. I like 3M 4200 and 4000uv. Anybody
have opinions on Butyl being better?Sent from my Verizon,
If I may paraphrase expert COVID advice:
Always use butyl tape/caulk where appropriate, if not then use 3M
4200. In all other cases 4000 UV or 5200 is best.
I trust this will serve you best.

Welcome Larry,
I don't think the email server can handle pics but you got away with it.
My understanding is the following:
The long Genoa track is for the #1s and #2 if you have those. 155% down to
120%. It is the track you will use most of the time and has an adjustable car.
The short track
My understanding is the the small tracks (my 35-3 only has the rear ones)
are to help you get really tight sheeting angles when trying to point.
Functionally, I've never used them and typically point higher than most of
the competition even with the big #1 genoa. The forward ones as you note
are
An interesting post, as I am considering how and where to install the long
tracks I got to upgrade our 35mk2. So the small inner track allows one to
trim the genoa with more curve by bringing it inboard in lighter wind?
Currently, my genoa uses a block on the toerail, and the jib uses the
factory
I am hoping I can post a photo! I have never tried before!
I have a 38-ft MK
From the photo you can clearly see the main track for the Genoa. But I have two
smaller tracks.
One on the cabin forward of the handrail and one far back, on a small ledge on
the side of the companionway. I am new
Ditto.
And by the way, the tank Matt is talking about, I believe is a spherical Monel
tank, which can take 3# and probably more.
A large flat tank like the rest of us have will be destroyed by 7# of pressure.
The safety valves on large RIBs are set at 2.5# pressure, and they are
spherical.
