Dave; we had a Venture 25, and had the same experience with the centerboard
cable; likewise we would "sing along" when the cable began to hum...I like the
Pachebel reference, very apt!

Unrelated - My wife and I first started sailing in the late 80s on a swing keel
venture 22. It was trashed and bought at a bankruptcy sale. We had some
great adventures, and certainly envied the then new C&C‘s that abounded here in
the Toronto area. The venture’s swing keel was suspended by a steel cable on a
winch, which was under tension. As speed increased the cable would resonate.
It had three pitches, low, mid, high. As any speed was gained, it would start
a low hum and we’d say the cellist has arrived. As the seas picked up it would
alternate rhythmically between low and mid. It was kind of soothing.
Pachabel’s canon in d comes to mind, tempo-wise. In perfect surfing
conditions, the knot meter would pin at 10 and the high pitch would be hit in
the surges - think Vivaldi. Great fun. if only the mast had also
resonated!

Do you have a topping lift? I was accidentally tightening my main sheet to
stop the boom vang squeak...and was tuning my topping lift like a guitar
string. Another experience with neighboring boat had a in-mast furler groove
make spooky notes like a flute when wind hit just right angle. Your results may
vary...😎

Lol- well, if enough time has passed an apology and flowers might be a start.

That is a possibility but nothing changed from last fall. Except for the fact I

If you cover any holes you can reach does the pitch change?

For the past couple of months I have had a harmonic noise that sounds like a
UFO. It appears to be coming from the mast, but only with a wind blowing, light
or otherwise.Being moored across the bay from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard first
few times I heard it, had me looking outside for UFOs. I don't think its wind
in the rigging. It just started this year when I got back from my 5 month road
trip to Florida. Is Rebecca Leah punishing me for being gone so long?
