Winch handles without locking cams should be labelled - "Caution, this handle is headed for the bottom of the bay - It's only a matter of time".
Saturday it went into 400 ft of water. When a loop from a reef line plucked it off the cabintop main winch and gracefully flipped it into the water was almost like slow motion - nothing you can do about it, but watch. Oh well, it was destined for the bottom on the day it was made, now I get to buy one with a locking cam. Have a great day.

This is our 2nd year with Alera, so we are still in the Honeymoon stage. We are cruisers, so I won't comment on the race capability of the 47+/40. But, she sure sails like a thoroughbred. Alera was a great lakes boat with less than 500 hrs on her engine, a real cream puff. Treated well, and never sailed too hard or raced as far as I know. I decided on the model and then looked at a bunch before getting Alera. I felt it was a perfect configuration for my wife and I and I am convinced I was absolutely correct in that. I'll echo what Edd said about the cockpit...we are still getting used to it due to it being so relatively shallow, especially compared to our 35 MK 1. We added rail seats in the corners of the aft pulpit which provides additional spots for sitting and helped. Cushions and pillows also help. Of course, the aft stateroom make it a small price to pay. Coming up from a 35 MK1 to the 37+ was a little daunting at first, but now we fell right at home and the two of us (both in our 60's) have no trouble with her. On extended cruises we seems to like being on board more an more as the trip progresses. I installed Kato Davits and we carry a 9' Avon with a 9.9 taitsu which seems to balance the anchor, windlass, chain combo nicely. Go figure. Gert Tiel did our survey and since she had spent most of her life at Niagara on the Lake (C&C home port) I had a high comfort level in his ability to spot issues, though we bought her on the hard in the winter, so locating moisture was not really possible. But no issues whatsoever. I did hear of a 37+ here in Seattle recently that had delamination issues, though I do not know if it was with the balsa core deck or kevlar hull. But that might be a deal killer for anyone. No deck/hull joint issues on Alera or on any other 37+ that I know of. As far as I am concerned, Alera is the perfect boat, at least it is for us. We were on her today, just for a few minutes, and my wife and I both remarked how great she is and how much we love her.. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.....

Unfortunately, the boat is 1,000+ miles away, so I cannot measure. She does not have a "drip-less" coupling, only the factory original stuffing box and a 1 1/8" shaft. Many thanks in advance.

This is my second season with the boat and it's been this way since I've gotten it and I'm wondering if it can be tightened or something? There is no obvious method to do so. By sloppy I mean, play, there is loads of play both up and down in the direction of shifting as well as fore and aft.

BTW, with all this talk of engine control cables: with my recent pedestal/engine control replacement, I had ordered a Teleflex CCX64306 transmission control cable (six feet long), then found that it actually needed to be a seven-footer; so I have the six-footer available to anyone on the list who might need one. This is the Teleflex TFXTREME line of heavy-duty, super flexible control cables; the jacket is black, as opposed to the red most of have on our boats as original equipment. The threaded fittings on the ends are 5/16-24. The cables sell for over $100; first offer of $50 plus shipping gets the prize? :^) Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Jun 19, 2013, at 8:37 AM, Knowles Rich <r...@sailpower.ca> wrote: > Just be careful taking things apart.
