So I presume you have a set of Garhauer EZ-G2 adjustable cars. This is the car that has a stand up ball bearing block that swivels as the sheet lead changes. And I can see where it could be called a "single" sheet lead system. There is also an EZ G3 system. That has a non-swiveling block on the car that can lean outward at about 45 degrees off vertical to allow for changing sheet lead, and since the block is wider you could probably run two sheets through the block. Since this is the "big boat" configuration for higher sheet loads, I suspect the larger block is to accommodate larger diameter sheets, but it should also do for double sheets. Since you ask the question, I presume that you are planning to race the boat and will be doing a fair number of headsail changes. And the double sheet car would let you thread the sheets for the new sail before the hoist and extract the sheets from the old sail after the drop. If you have roller furling there is almost no need to change the sheets as you furl, you just adjust the car. I have a G2 system on my 38 (and a G1 on my 25). I now have roller furling and I quite like the flexibility of the block. When I'm furled down to 100 or 110%, the car goes forward to 3 or 4 feet behind the shrouds, and the block leans over and turns out to accommodate the sheet. When I'm reaching or running and have the sail let out, there is nothing for the sheet to rub against (OK, except the upper lifeline). I had concerns about the sheet rubbing on the outside face of the block in the G3 system. While I still had the headfoil in Imzadi and was racing, I can only recall one time I actually changed the headsail during a race. We went from the number 1 to the number 2 as conditions changed during a distance race. We hoisted the #2 inside the #1 and swapped the lazy sheets. Then we tacked and put the #1 inside the #2 and swapped the lazy sheets after the #1 was down. Probably not the optimum or quickest way to do it, but it worked for us. The tracks on both my boats run from a few inches ahead of the primary winches to a couple of feet behind the shrouds. You've not indicated how long your tracks are. My 38 used to have a #3 with a reef to make it a #4. Call it 100% to maybe 80%. When it is blowing hard enough to use the #4, I've not been beating hard into the wind and waves. Footed off a bit to accommodate the conditions, having the car 3 feet or so aft of the shrouds was not a problem. I don't believe I've ever pulled the car all the way forward on the track (except when cleaning the deck or reeving a new towline). Ditto on my 25. I flew the 65% storm jib one time, just to see how to rig it in case I ever needed to do it. I don't think I needed the car all the way forward even then - but I wasn't trying to sail at 32 degrees apparent, either. My boats are both rigged with the swivel cleat on the aft end of the genoa track. I'm sure that there is friction on the tow line where it passes the inboard side of the car, but it has never been a problem. Most of the time it isn't even noticeable because, whatever friction there is, when pulling the car forward you are overcoming several hundred pounds of load on the sheets and a bit of resistance due to friction is hardly significant. One of the things you will need to do to make the line adjustable cars work easily is to route your sheet through a turning block on the way to the winch. The objective is to keep the sheet almost level with the deck as it goes aft from the car. That way the load on the sheet between the car and the clew of the sail will tend to push the car aft when you ease the tow line. If you go from clew to car to winch, the load on the aft part of the line angling up to the winch will tend to force the car forward and it will be hard to get the car aft when you need foot of the sail to be really flat. If you are interested, I can send a couple of photos of my arrangement to you off the list.

Finally launched the boat after 7.5 years on the hard and got sailing a few times last summer and now I am wanting to install my Garhauer sheet lead system I bought a few years ago, and am a bit concerned about how useful it actually will be. Here are some concerns: 1) I bought what appears to be a single sheet lead, as opposed to twin which is what came with the boat way back when in 1974. I recall buying at the Garhauer booth at the Toronto Intl Boat show and telling him the size of boat and that is what I got. According to their online catalogue it looks like the -2. Anybody care to comment? Is there a twin sheet lead version available? 2) there is a separate swivel cleat which mounts onto a T-track, but my question is: If you can't put it onto the same genoa track, do you need to bolt a whole new section of track to your deck? I could place it between the coaming and the track but wanted to know what others were doing. On the same track would create too much friction. 3) A comment more than a question, but even when you haul it all together, it takes up about 15" of the forward end of the track which isn't that long to begin with, so has anyone found this to be an issue when wanting to use a smaller jib?

I tried 66 in brackish water which Interlux explained would be "salty enough". It worked fine during the first season but during the first haul out it peeled off in sheets. Fortunately the yard that put it on was a certified retailer so the repair/replacement was fully covered. I seem to remember they used Micron CSC.

Ratcheting closed wrenches are a pleasure to work with but for high torque the ratchet can possibly get damaged.. I'd go with a plain ol' forged one piece wrench. Depending on the angle, an offset wrench might help as well: http://www.amazon.com/Point-Offset-Metal-Wrench-Spanner/dp/B0087ZU6DQ as mentionned before the tighter the fit , the straighter the wrench, the less chance of stripping the bolt. Also, you might want to see if you can slip a piece of metal pipe of the the other end of the wrench (A "Cheater" pipe) to lengthen the lever / increase mechanical advantage, sometimes that makes an "Impossible" job easy. Finally, don't forget to coat the stud with anti seize compound when you re-assemble to make the job easier next time.

If the study was scientifically accurate, it turns out a home brew works best! Here's the summary of the test results: Penetrating oil .......... Average load None ..................... 516 pounds WD-40 .................... 238 pounds PB Blaster ............... 214 pounds Liquid Wrench ............ 127 pounds Kano Kroil ............... 106 pounds ATF-Acetone mix.............53 pounds The Automatic Transmission fluid (ATF)-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 ? 50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price.

One bolt came off easily but the one on the starboard side is a challenge. I cannot get a socket on it because something from the engine or transmission is partially blocking frontal access. I found my wrench selection on board is less than adequate and I need to upgrade. I tried with a short 1/2" open end wrench and was able to get it on, but could not budge the bolt. I left it sprayed with penetrant hoping that will loosen it. I looked at other wrench types to see what would be useful in this situation and came upon this ratcheting wrench I had not seen before: http://www.amazon.com/Alden-Wrench-56038-Ratching-Open-End/dp/B002VEC9XE/ref =sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1425909762&sr=1-1&keywords=alden+ratchet It looks like something useful to have on the boat as the clamping action should work on both metric and SAE, it is stainless and it ratchets.

I have seen other 34's which use a external bracket and a turning block positioned behind the primary winch to turn the sheet. Mine uses a block clipped to the toerail aft of there and since I'm interested in flying my chute while racing this year, there needs to be a different solution for the Genoa. Does anyone know od a drawing for this bracket, or have an idea of where I can acquire a pair? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Mark Meyer 1979 C&C34 "Freedom" ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 15:52:55 -0400 From: "Burt Stratton" <bstrat...@falconnect.com> To: "'Jean-Francois J Rivard'" <jfriv...@us.ibm.com>, <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Tool recommendation Message-ID: <029001d05aa2$a33585a0$e9a090e0$@falconnect.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" All makes sense except for one thing. A 6-point wrench or socket is by far the best choice if you are afraid of rounding off the head of the bolt (or nut). The only reason for 12-point wrenches is convenience (twice as many places to land on the head of the bolt). Half of the points are not used at any given time. The surface that makes contact on a 6-point wrench is effectively 100%. In fact if you round it off with a 12-point wrench, go back at it with a 6-point. You might need to use some persuasion to get it over the rounded corners but if you get it on you will still have a lot of useful flat area left to get some torque on.

Ratcheting closed wrenches are a pleasure to work with but for high torque the ratchet can possibly get damaged.. I'd go with a plain ol' forged one piece wrench. Depending on the angle, an offset wrench might help as well: <http://www.amazon.com/Point-Offset-Metal-Wrench-Spanner/dp/B0087ZU6DQ> http://www.amazon.com/Point-Offset-Metal-Wrench-Spanner/dp/B0087ZU6DQ as mentionned before the tighter the fit , the straighter the wrench, the less chance of stripping the bolt. Also, you might want to see if you can slip a piece of metal pipe of the the other end of the wrench (A "Cheater" pipe) to lengthen the lever / increase mechanical advantage, sometimes that makes an "Impossible" job easy. Finally, don't forget to coat the stud with anti seize compound when you re-assemble to make the job easier next time.
