I've never had a boat with a back stay. On my 1988 C&C 30MKII sail hits the leach. How's that supposed to work? The wind should push the leach past the backstay. If not you can usually shake the backstay (fore and aft) and the addition of wind will push the leach past. Otherwise, just let the traveler down. Keep and eye on the leach for wear.

It's relatively common for topping lifts to interfere with main leeches. After raising the main you need to ease the topping lift enough for the leech to clear it. If you get a rigid vang you don't need a topping lift, and they are generally a PITA. But if your boat didn't have a backstay, its mast would fall over forward.

If it does, it will get past the back-stay when you tack, except in very light air. In that case, you might have to let out the traveler, or as a last resort, lower the sail until it clears, and then raise it. Another thing you can do, is tighten the back-stay. That will pull the top of the mast back, giving you more clearance. Mine is the same way.

Your main has some extra roach. Both of my mains do also. Wouldn't have it any other way. The only time it will be an issue is light air. Then, like others have suggested, give the back stay a whack, drop the traveler or ease the sheet. Some sport boats have a lot of extra roach. Look for rigs that have a spring crane? that lifts and pulls aft the back stay to allow the main to pass. Not sure if crane is the right term. Again a caution to all about sailing with a wire topping lift. They will chafe the batten pockets a you'll eject a batten. They don't float. Dennis C.

You can add a crane to the top of the mast – some have a springy batten or stainless strap – some are fixed. If you race, it may cause problems with your handicap. Or, the simplest – just don’t haul the sail all the way up – keep it down an inch or so and use the Cunningham to firm up the luff. Or do what all the other guys have mentioned. Our J-80 was notorious for having the main hang on the backstay. Pain in the butt.

If it is anything like mine the cable is swagged to a 1/2" diameter rod (for lack of better term). Within About 1/2" from the end there is a 1/4" hole. The rod passes through a hole in the end of the centre board and a 1/4" bolt goes through a hole in the centre board and through the rod. This rod end cannot not be bought at a chandlery. You have to get it machined using the old one as a guide. Also take the other end of the cable ( a new one that you will swage on) the machinist will use the cable end as a guide to make the swage end of the other end. Sounds confusing. My board is in my garage and the machinist has made one already an exact duplicate , although I took the other end as a guide. So ther is no material to compress around the cable. I can give you a picture of the centreboard but the machinist hasn't called yet. Is your board jammed up or hanging down. My cable broke in the Bahamas. No from uses but I grabbed it for balance and it came out in my hand. Fortunately the zebra muscles in Lake Ontario had in jammed in place. As soon as I got back to Canada I had the boat hauled and the board removed. 10 years of ownership and I can only remember using to board twice.

I was digging around in the recesses of my garage looking for the two gallons of bottom pain that I seem to have misplaced and ran across our old sail cover from Alera. With the in boom furling, dom't need it or want it. If you want it, just cover the shipping cost and it's yours. It's in really good shape...see for yourself. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37365243@N00/27805231910/in/dateposted-public/ Tom B Tom Buscaglia SV Alera 1990 C&C 37+/40 Vashon Island WA (206) 463-9200 www.sv-alera.com
