+1 on that. Not a good idea to go up the mast when on the hard. The stability of the boat is quite limited with only the jack stands or the cradle pads support her laterally. The mast itself is an issue. Then you would be adding about 80-100 kg at the very top of it (the longest arm possible). Not to mention that you plan to replace the halyard sheaves, which you might be using to get there in the first place.

Most yards that I know of strictly forbid it. Dave C&C 37 Sent from my iPad ________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.

They have done a lot of work for me over the years, including re-cutting and re-sizing, as well as a brand new Dacron genoa. Not the cheapest option for new sails, but they are the go-to guys for the racers around here and they just might be able to breathe some new life into your baffed out old main. Full battens in a main can work wonders in light air. Or they might not, but they will tell you if you take the sail there. They are located close to the Bluewater Bridge and the Sarnia Yacht Club.

Cue the Monty Python... The current main has two sets of reef points, (cringle at the leech and and ring-on-webbing-straps at the luff.) No telltales other than streamers off the leech. IIRC there may be a leech line. 4 partial battens battens. There are two cringles at the clew, one above the other, and what I believe is called a "shelf" of lighter weight cloth along the foot. Have never used this out of ignorance, but perhaps I should. it has a rope foot, slides on the luff. I will have Rolly Tasker in Thailand quote, as well as UK sails here in Toronto. I value the 33-2's performance but most of my sailing is recreational sailing here on Lake Ontario. Would like to distance race but not looking to be ultra-competitive at the top level. Don't want to buy another Main for this boat in the next decade. Any thoughts or recommendations on a replacement, or comments on sail lofts? Many thanks!
