I think my 1989 30 MKII has got Lewmar Superhatches (though I’m not even sure about that). What is the easiest (not necessarily cheapest) way to repair crazed lenses? I’m not really keen on removing the hatch lids and shipping them off for repair. Is there a complete lid replacement available

Hi Peter, I had friends that circumnavigated and had their windows replaced in NZ. The NZ folks just laughed at the American yachties every time they saw screws in the plex and mumbled "leaky boat". There is NO way to have enough flex/adhesion space around the screws. They use very large o

Hammerhead is a great outfit. Much cheaper than hatchsystems. The Atkins and Doyle folks, while very nice, are useless: they want to sell you a new hatch. I replaced the acrylic lens, gasket, one exterior knob and the handle washers on my only hatch last fall and it's leakproof so far. Emai

Stus-List reefing line

Quick question for the List: I've had "my" sail maker put three reefs into my mainsail (C&C33-I). Most of the time I sail with the reef-line not run through the clew grommets. For an upcoming sailing adventure, I will need to have all three reefs rigged and ready to go. What line should I use?

Dave, I like the EZjack system. The fact that it can be retracted relatively easily is a real advantage to me. Since my mast is on the bench at the moment it should be an easy installation. My rigger (Frank Colanery) at Bay Sailing Equipment will have it soon to go through everything and hop

Funny...when sailing to the mooring I do the opposite. Furl Jib in outer harbor and with plenty of run-room drop and flake the main. Unroll jib and sail to mooring. I can "decelerate" and "accelerate" thru the mooring field by furling and unfurling jib as control requires. When approachin

Re: Stus-List Furling Main

I agree with John, the simpler, the better. I sail singlehanded 90% of the time. When sailing on to my mooring, I furl the jib well in advance, approach the mooring in irons, drop the main and grab the mooring lines. The main is then flaked properly.__

Stus-List Furling Main

I removed the lazy jacks my boat came with and find dropping the main quickly puts the sail on the leeward deck providing a quick conversion to power with no windage issues to deal with and good visibility for the helmsman. Flaking the sail is easy working from the topping lift end of the boom.
