That's one thing that wasn't mentioned. The Lewmars release under load.
Many of the "cam" type rope clutches need help.
I'm fairly picky about brands in several areas. If I I had to rate my two
highest hardware recommendations, they would be Lewmar rope clutches and
Harken travelers.

Ours came with the Lewmar D1 or D2's. They work well.
I don't have any particular procedure and there's a very slight difference
in lever pressure opening / closing them at full load or no load at all and
it's very easy regardless. Assuming the correct size line for the job (I
replaced a few)
That's awesome Brad! Actually you're not far off. I deny letting crew wear
anything more than standard repellant. The Bens 100 and oily Muskol have enough
deet in them to destroy any plastic it touches!!

You Guys have some strong comments about the Lewmar D2. I was skeptical because
of one comment i had from a rigger that i respect a lot, even if he does not
have a C&C, but a first 42 is a pretty nice boat too. He was a Lewmar winch fan
but a Spinlock clutches lover saying there is no point to b
Hey Brent,
There must be something else wrong with the plastic in your stopper levers, it
never gets that hot in Manitoba! Oh wait, I know what it is, overspray from the
mosquito repellant you need to wear all summer must be breaking down the
plastic.

Big ditto on Lewmars. I have had two Lewmar triples on Touché for nearly 15
years. No slippage. No damage to the lines.
IMHO Lewmar clutches are the BEST!

BTW, I have a double Lewmar clutch rated for 12mm line in the cellar somewhere.
I used it for a year on Mojito before swapping lines and clutch to the 10mm
size.

I believe most of the stoppers installed in that vintage were Easy Locks. They
are OK. Years of sunshine have likely weakened the levers. That mixed with the
irritating operational requirement of never stopping a static line (I has to be

Bruno, take a look at the lewmar D2 clutches before you make a final
decision. They have a unique series of plates which the rope runs through
perpendicular. The clutch handle tilts the plates to pinch the rope.
Something to consider.

after exchanging photos with another lister, it appears that my clutches are
spinlok XA's and should handle the 3/8 line adequately. It looks like there are
parts available should I need to rebuild.
This list is INVALUABLE for us new C&C owners, thank you all.

Brad,
The clutches on my boat (33mkII 1987) are Easylock i think, the model that kind
of look like a lewmar, with long levers of different colours... they do work
with a 3/8 Line but tend to slip a little with main and jib halyards. it might
be wear, but this up grade is on the list. i will go
Brad,
Perception had Schaffer stoppers on her when we got her (85 C&C 33-II K/CB).
They were chewing the new running rigging very quickly - at the recommendation
of our sailmaker we replaced them with lewmars.
The lewmars need to be sized right for your lines, they have smaller ranges
than mos

My 1989 37+ has lewmar triples. The design hasn't changed much so find a

Replacing the original 7/16 halyards on our 1985 C&C 33 MKII. Got a GOOD price
on some 3/8 Warpspeed from W.M. Does anyone know what brand/size of halyard
clutches C&C used in '85? There is a set of double Schaefer clutches mounted
outboard of the original triples, either side of the companionw
