Thanks. In thinking about this I did come up with the idea of the tubing. I also appreciate the benefit of your experience. Martin From: antoine.r...@videotron.ca Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2013 23:25:55 -0400 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 30 Mk I heaving to
A good idea would be to cover your shroud with quarter inch plastic tubing for the first, say, five feet. With this, the sheet will rub against the plastic rather than the cable. No chaffing this way. It's good to have it anyway to prevent chaffing all week at the slip when the genoa is furled and the sheets are rubbing against the shroud. I did heave to on one occasion on the ocean for bad weather reasons, mainly when rough weather was coming to get some rest (I was just south the of Tail of the Grand Banks, bad weather is not fun in that vicinity). Remember to heave to BEFORE weather gets really bad to get a chance to rest a bit while you can. The C&C 30 heave to very well. If you have a wheel steering, blocking the wheeI with the brake is not enough in rough weather, you have to secure it with a line. I also have heave to on two occasions to repair the control line on the windvane after rounding La Coruna in Spain. I had to crawl under the cockpit to do this. Interestingly, in three to four meters swell, the bottom of the cockpit locker was the most comfortable spot on the boat.

It seems to me that if it is done the weather genny sheet would chafe a good deal on the weather shrouds. Am I missing something?
