For those interested, there are some great 3 and 4 minute videos on the
Farr 40 class web site from this past week in Chicago...local boat,
Flash Gordon 6 won. Spinnaker exploding, great skyline shots,
etc..no end for end jibes on these machines.

If you are dip pole jibing, the baby stay has to be released/slackened
otherwise the pole can't cross over. On an end for end jibe, I guess it
is possible to do with the baby stay attached but I would definitely get
it out of the way.

We will await Jim's response on this.
In the meantime, here is what I do.take the lazy guy in which ever
hand holding the back end or the trimmer's end with my thumb facing back
on the guy..go crouch in front of the forestay, wait until the pole
dips under the forestay and b
Keith says:
"Safety is a wash.
you either have a 13' pole hanging on a line with both ends detached,
but unloaded.
or you have a 13' pole attached to the mast but the free end moving at a
high rate of speed toward your bowman on the pointy end.
Neither is inherently safer than the other.
Lots of good advice/experience on this subjectinteresting reading.
From someone who has worked foredecks and has executed jibes from there
on various sized boats, my preference would be for 'dip jibes' simply
out of selfish reasons, my safety!
I position myself in front of the forestay, lazy
tack. Where is
yours mounted?

The Nicro Marine vent on my boat is identical to the one in this video:

Did you check to see if any of your

When you purchased the boat, was it surveyed 'in the water' or 'on

Don't know if you are familiar with 'dry ice blasting', but with this
method, there is no 'toxic runoff'. The only residue with the removal
of antifouling paint is the 'actual antifouling paint' which can be
contained with a 'drop sheet'.

A pressure washer will not remove an ablative paint. When our boat is
hauled every Fall, the bottom is pressure washed by the yard staff and
while it might remove a small amount of the paint, it will not remove it
so as the gelcoat is showing.
I have been using Micron CSC for the past

I have no experience with any of these products. The last time I
stripped antifouling paint was in 1991 and after that, I swore I would
never do it again.
If your budget can afford it, have someone else do it. Soda blasting is
popular. Our current boat was stripped of years of antifo

Glad to hear the re-power is coming along. If you don't mind me asking,

That was my formula to match the gelcoat on our boat. I broke the
gelcoat all along the top of one of the cabin windows during its removal
which added another dimension to an already onerous job.
I started the gelcoat repair by mixing the gelcoat in a "plastic bottle
cap".that way
As well Jonathan, try the RV companies.the sink in my boat is also
