I noticed at the end of the season that I was getting some vibration and a little grumbling noise while underway with the engine. Checked the shaft for play after the boat came out of the water and got more play then I liked.. Compared it with other boats parked next to me and confirmed that the ol

One thing to consider about sheave sizes which I did not think about when I replaced my halyards... don't forget to allow for the eidth of your line due to your eye splice for your halyard shackle. It obviously makes the line much thicker and makes it harder to hoist the last 8"-12" or so of the ha

Everyone has their favorite knots and they all have their merits, so if your happy with your arrangement stay with it. The reasons why I like this Jeanneau Halyard knot is that it won't untie it's self as Joel pointed out and because the bitter end is away from the sheave and not likely to foul wh

Hi 29’ers I am in the process of buying new 155 genny as the one the boat (mark 1) when I bought it was trash and truly not useable. So really I have no experience with it. The sailmaker is asking me when do I change over... at what windspeed? Given the tenderness of the boat I was thinking 10 kt

David: Sailing on the Chesapeake... lots of 10Kt and below days during the season. Also getting this hopefully for potential club racing. For casual sailing I will use an older 130 or a plain jib. And with a foil and dual halyards, change over is really not so bad... but then I am getting older
