Chuck, I wish the 35-2 had that access port through the cockpit floor. Unfortunately it does not. Worse, the cables are terminated with U-bolts on the wire, so it will require loosening the U bolts (two of them) then pulling the wire tight and then retightening the U-bolts. Probably done whe

So sorry I wrote my earlier calouse message. They are hard choices. I missed a whole season due to work and family issues. Never again. You could have her hauled, or once afloat, move the boat. Either way, I would move the boat away from this problem, move her to a better sailing venue and driv

Dwight, That's probably true for yours. Our 1990 34R has a quadrant on the rudder post and lives under a section of Cockpit floor that lifts out. The cable is terminated with an eybolt captured by a thimbled eye and three cable saddles. The two SS eyebolts are pushed through the quadrant cast

Andrew, if you buy the 35-3 you get a whole family of support, not only for boat stuff, but there's lots of wisdom, advice, and some pretty clever writing too, its infinite institutional information in an instant... Richard 33-II; Mile 485 Ohio River (working on taxes) Richard N. Bush Law

Thank you to all for the helpful and detailed information. I'm amazed at the depth of knowledge you have which is obvious from reading these posts. It's a little intimidating for a relative newcomer like myself. But I love sailing and am going to get a serious boat and start having fun. The 35-3

Hi Andrew, Despite spending quite a lot more on maintenance than I really wanted to, I've thoroughly enjoyed our 35-3. We race Wednesday nights and a few weekend regattas - on our day (right conditions and we make the right decisions and no mistakes) we can beat anything. Around 10-12kts true, w

Andrew, Like Joel, I am very happy with the 35-3. I primarily race on the Chesapeake. We have typically light air and use our 155% genoa most of the time. We reef at 14kts true. Sometimes we will reef and carry the #1 up to 16kts true, depending on the wind conditions and how many crew I ha

I'll second what Joel says. I singlehand mine often, the key is to find a way to route the mainsheet back within reach. Self tailing secondaries would be good (mine aren't) as I usually run the jib on those winches when by myself. Also check the deck hardware, if it hasn't been re-bedded it

Andrew, Welcome! Where are you located? I have a 35/3 and love it. It sails well, and leaves most cruisers in its wake. I have a 135 gennie on a roller. In 12-14 knots of wind you can sail upwind at 6 knots or more. At about 18 I put a first reef in the main. By 25 I will take up some of th
