A great guide, but one thing I would suggest is to use the pump to inflate
as well as deflate, to avoid adding moisture and bacteria by blowing into
it which may lead to mildew over time.

I hope to come out of the experience with a clear indicate of whether the

Not sure about your question, but the plastic coated wire for a backstay
would scare me... Be sure to check for corrosion.
My 35mk2 manual states 2200psi i believe as the maximum pressure, and there
is a chart which shows what tension this equates to. HydraTech tensioner,
made in Vancouver. Mine is
That's a great deal, but mine are 3.5" x 7/16" wide. A guy at our club has
found me some in nylon that should work. Not as good as Delrin, but they
should do. Acetal/Delrin material is crazy expensive around here... was
going to be $90 just for material to make some.

Has anyone found a source for replacement masthead sheaves? 3.5" OD, 3"
pulley diameter, 5/8" width, 1/2" bore. Originals are aluminum with a
bronze bushing, but Delrin or similar would also work.

and noted
much more hull deflection when on the stands than similar era boats,
suggesting less rigid layup.
There's a Newport 27 (flat top, also C&C design) in our club which always
does well on the race course.

Not sure if this was mentioned here, but I saw it on the FB group, and just
registered. They will have a recording link if you're unable to view it

While I don't have a tar bottom, I enjoyed this thorough account as there
are some good general tips. What is a chip brush?
Thanks

varnish or urethane to only certain parts of the interior, while others
look like original oil. I am afraid to attempt stripping the varnish and
make a mess, but I am also loathe to apply more varnish... So I just leave
it. In dim light it looks ok, but the shiny sections annoy me...

Thanks, Chuck. In the case of my DST-800, I discovered the old unit was
only 1/8" larger, so I am going to re-use the hole and install with 4200.
But I may need to fill some other holes as I go along, this is good info.

Keeping it as far aft as possible helps reduce noise. One it switches to
low, it is fairly quiet.

How many layers of glass should I be using on the outside for blocking a
through-hull? Glass on the inside also, or just fill with epoxy? Some of
mine have limited access on the inside for creating a taper.

one reef in the main, and is nicely balanced. I will see about improving
our reefing setup while we're in maintenance mode over the next month.

I'm impressed how well the boat tracks, and that the auto pilot seems to
handle it well - looks like a quadrant driven unit. My wheel pilot
certainly wouldn't cope in those conditions. The stern wake is impressive -
they are moving along well!

Sorry I missed it... was away from list emails for a few weeks (but finally
sorted my list delivery issues!)
Hope to join the next one, although it's the day after haulout, so I could
be busy getting ready to install lots of new toys... :)

There's always this one if you need more space:

I would be very tempted by either of these boats if they were nearer to me.

they sail?

Sounds like a good plan, but I might consider plumbing it with tees and
valves so the secondary filter could become primary in case it still clogs
at a bad time.

g on the transom. I plan to move them to the stern counter some
day to get a cleaner looking transom.
Maybe overkill, but it was set up this way by a PO, and I've just tidied
it up a bit and I check them regularly with the manual switches, and with
the floats whenever I'm in the bilge.

I like this trick; I did the opposite when drilling for new midship cleats,
and the over drilled hole is just barely hidden. I will try this method
next time, at least where clearance below allows for it.

As for repairing the damage, possibly you could cut a section out using an
oscillating tool and replace it with a new piece of teak plywood? I got one
of these tools for this type of job, but haven't tried it yet.
