Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 LF 35 Padanaram, MA From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frederick G Street via CnC-List Sent: Monday, April 18, 2016 4:27 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Frederick G Street <[email protected]> Subject: Stus-List Landfall 38 masthead sheaves I just finished rewiring my mast over the weekend, upgrading with new LED nav lights from Marinebeam, along with new low-loss VHF and cell-repeater antenna cabling, and a Windex light and masthead wind transducer cable as well. While I was working at the masthead, I took a minute to inspect the sheaves. They’re the original wire-rope aluminum sheaves (two jib halyards and main halyard); the measurements appear to be as follows: Jib sheaves: 4-1/2” diameter x 11/16” wide, with a bushing for a 7/16” shaft Main sheave: 3-1/2” diameter x 9/16” wide (with what looks like a Delrin spacer on each side), with a bushing for a 7/16” shaft Have any of you LF38 owners replaced your sheaves? Do these measurements look correct? Who did you use as a supplier? I’ve still got a few weeks before launch, and I’d like to get new sheaves ordered up so I can replace them before the mast goes back up. Any help getting the parts right the first time would be appreciated! — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^(
