I also prefer halyards at the mast. Both for hoisting but also - and more significantly - for reefing. I can reef Bojangles (a 50 footer) by myself in about a minute. Shaking out a reef is about the same. And while spaghetti in the cockpit is cool when racing, dropping lines down the companionw

I had a friend who had a Paceship Bluejacket 23, "Morcee" version (MORC) with a self bailing cockpit. Like the Soling mentioned above, it was only self bailing if no one was aboard. First job on getting aboard was shutting the cockpit drain valves. You could usually open them again once you got

Rick, That is really interesting because I've had my '73 25 heeled over to 40 degrees and have never had water in the cockpit. What could account for the difference? Drains are port-to-port, stbd-to-stbd. At some time in the life of my boat prior to me the gate valves were replaced. The co

Peregrine came with the strong track and I have to admit that I am really impressed with it. I've used the Antal and Harken offerings and they are better, but you pay much more. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrew

I considered adding the Tides Strong Track system this year and if it was a $500 upgrade I would have done it without further thought. But unless I am missing something, at $30/ft for the track alone, not including the sail mods to attach the batten cars, you are talking about closer to $1500.

There's a solution for the "snake nest" of lines: Sheet Bags. I have a total of 8 lines led back to my cockpit winches: 2 genoa and 2 spin halyards, main halyard, winch end of mainsheet, vang and Cunningham. I bought 2 big sheet bags, made from Sunbrella and mesh netting, on EBay. Had them size

As a matter of policy, it’s probably best that the scupper drains always be crossed. That way there is little chance of water getting into the cockpit when heeled over. As a matter of practicality, I think it depends on the boat. My 25 mk1 was plumbed port to port. The cockpit sole is abo

I actually went and got an articulated arm that folds flat. $39 at Walmart. Works great for my little 32” TV on a 34’… Have it on the port bulkhead… folds flat, yet gives me 180 degrees of movement…and articulates up and down too. JP Gabriela C&C 34 Clarkston Wa. From: CnC-List [mail

My observation on Virginia Lee is that with about 20 deg angle of heel and being at boat speed with the boat balanced my cockpit drain is below the waterline and my feet are in water (1-2") if I sit on the leeward side. If I am overpowered and the bow is digging in, the drain isn't under water
