Been up the mast of my previous boat (30MKI) and lived to tell the tale.
That mast and rigging is built to twice the specs of some other production
30 footers. Granted, your rigging should be in good shape, tie all the
right knots, have a plan B, and some good hands on both the primary and
seconda
I also have used a mast mate for the last 5 years, and go up to adjust or fix
things aloft several times a year, preferably when Cat’s Paw is afloat, not on
jack stands. But for safety, I wear a climbing harness attached to a spinnaker
halyard which someone on deck keeps on a winch to take up sl

I'm in the loving the mountain gear approach so I don't have to rely on help. A
quality ascender, a Grigri, a sits harness, a new line to hoist up the mast on
two halyards and its upsy-daisy. There's great technique on YouTube to learn.

I think the original nameplates on our boats were fiberglass cutouts made by
C&C and glued on. I did find plastic raised letters in an auto store that would
look nice glued in place into the OEM base, but I just never got around to
installing them. cost was $10 or $15. The letters I found are bl
+1 on that. This is how my idea started. When I knew how long they had to be, I
got them made and sawn into the sail.
I started with a ring and a piece of webbing

I would thoroughly appreciate this until my last day (or the last day I have a
boat (any boat).
Does this count that I regularly say something nice about the C&Cs any time I
have a chance?

I have simple question. I need to know the spreader boot size on a 1981 C&C 32
#109? This would save me a trip up the mast to take measurements.
Both of the old ones are gone, "Ace" yard man after a move.
Thanks, Arnold {:-)

Not necessarily. My buddy and I alternate. Grind the chair up 6 feet or so
then take the slack out of the safety.

Steve — do you have a linear electric drive? If so, it sounds like the gearing
has finally worn out. You can replace with another linear Type 1 drive; or if
your course computer will handle the current, replace with a hydraulic drive
like the Octopus drive. Feel free to contact me off-list to

I don't have a Dutchman, but I do have the dog-bones. You don't have to

loud motor noise from the drive unit - no steering of boat.

Any kind of ladder does not solve the safety issue. You need a halyard (and a
person to man it) to keep you from falling. However, any kind of ladder would
help the winchperson (there is hardly any load on the halyard). I use a string

I had a C&C 24, but three years ago we switched and bought the Catalina 270

younger; it is almost new (at 20-years of age). It has many things that

I agree absolutely where snap shackles are concerned, but wire main halyards
are seldom equipped with such devices.

On the wire halyard you clip into the eye, rather than to the shackle. The idea
is to eliminate as many single failure points as possible. Another point is
that you don't want to hang on a device that can be easily opened (especially
by mistake) - e.g. snap shackle.

I have what is called the mast mate, it's a ladder made of webbing that you
pull up the mast track , I climb my mast twice a year to install and remove
wind instruments before stepping and dropping the stick . You can usually find
an ad for the mast mate I'm the back of most sailing magazines ,
Our boat came with a Dutchman flaking system that the FO said never worked.
I've rigged it and added a mast gate to keep the luff slides in the luff
track. So far, this looks promising.
The main issue that I'm having is reefing the main. It does not seem that
the system will work with the r
No problem for the rig but a little hard on the guys taking you up there...
use a second halyard for safety, don't trust snap shackles, tie your
harness on with a bowline and take along a spare line that you can lower to
get things you might forget...hoist those thinks up in a basket or a
bucket...
