Baby stay. Yes, a nuisance when we race both from the interference tacking
with a 155 genoa and playing with a whisker pole downwind - we race NFS. So
it is disconnected while sailing and the sole purpose is to inhibit pumping
at the dock , which can be quite pronounced and somewhat alarming whe
Does anyone have a B & G Harrier 6 boat speed and log cockpit instrument
surplus to their needs which I could purchase. I know that this is an old
instrument but for the amount of use it gets on my boat, I would like to
continue with this model. I know that the transducer is OK because the cabin
The diesel fuel filler hose, running from tank to deck fitting, is original on
my 35-3. It is badly cracked and in need of replacement. This was noticed on an
insurance survey at the ten year interval. It appears to be of a rubber
compound. I find it impossible to move. Any hints as to how to re
Had good experience this past year with repair to the boarding ladder on my
boat. Klacko Spars of Oakville, Ontario did a good job and reasonably priced.
They cut out the bent section and did an invisible repair.

Thanks to those who had suggestions regarding a slipping self tailing winch. I
found a schematic for the winch, removed the tailing arm, found that the spring
loaded screws could be tightened , which I did and then went for a sail. The
wind died before getting a chance to see if there was an im
Have an original equipment Barient 27 two speed self tailer winch on my 35-3
which allows the genoa sheet to slip under load, even when there are three
wraps on the winch. The self tailer does not hold the line in a predictable
fashion, releasing at the most inconvenient times., Is this a common
On my centreboard 35-3 CB there is a dedicated self tailer for the board
hoist, with a clutch. Up wind that winch becomes the tensioner for the
cunningham . Downwind the cunningham is released and the winch reverts back to
its original task of raising the board. Works well since these actions a
The major consideration that I have in winter mast removal is that a keel
stepped mast leaks water into the bilge and in Ontario cold winters leads to
ice where I do not want it. My mast comes down and the boat is shrink wrapped.
Yes , I could install a garboard drain I suppose but the bilge co

Would like to ask the list about scoring. In a fleet the winner of a series is
the low point boat based on corrected times for each race. We have three fleets

Have used the Goretex teflon stuffing material with lubricant the past two
years and had no problems. Had a bent prop shaft replaced this year so was able
to do a close inspection of the packing material after one year of use. It

Have a 1986 35-3 with CB . Found, at the later part of one season, the
tightness problem with the CB. A major collection of zebra mussels was found to
be the cause on haul out. New policy is to raise the board when she is in her
slip, lower before leaving. Also do a thorough clean of the trunk
