As a matter of interest, is it totally unacceptable to use the term
"athwartship stringers" instead of "floors" to describe the situations being
discussed lately about limber holes in bilge components of our C&C
sailboats?

Russ,
On my 38, there are two 24x6 portlights on each side of the cabin. The cabin
side at the aft one has very little curve and is easily within the allowance of
the Lewmars'. The forward one had approximately 2-3mm (about 1/8") of curve
as you described. Even with that much curve, I think th

Did you ever see the Yachting parody? In it they had an ad for the "S&M 40"
Featuring barbed wire lifelines and rubber and leather lined bunks...with
restraints.
Pretty clever.

My comment was mainly to avoid confusion. Joel was talking about putting
limber holes in the stringers that keep water from draining into the bilge
from the side of the boat, and those aren't even in the bilge proper. Chuck
was describing limber holes in the floors that support the mast step keep

Well, since I have been using the term "athwartship stringers" I was just
wondering if technically that would be considered an "oxymoron." I just
want to be on the same page as everyone else and yours was the first mention
of "floors" that I recall and an internet search enlightened me somewhat on
Let me see if I get it right:
There are "floors" (which I was calling stringers) on the port and
starboard side of my mast step. They are hollow glass like an upside down
U. The ones on the starboard side have limber holes near the step without
any tubing. The floors to port do not have limber h
Maybe a picture would be better than words:

To be clear: floors run athwartships, stringers run longitudinally the length
of the vessel, generally parallel to the keel.
In Joel's case, I wouldn't really c
Thanks Joel; that is what I visualized.by the way you can do a Google search
and get hits for athwartship stringers. Good luck with whatever you repair:
floors or stringers, both have a lot to do with structural integrity.

Thanks for the illustration, Fred, it may reduce the confusion.
Joel, you are using the term "stringers" correctly. In Fred's illustration
you can see 4 stringers - the U shaped stiffeners that run fore and aft to
stiffen the hull. On my boat there are 2 stringers as you have described,
but the

I have looked at the photos. The construction of your 35 MKIII below the
cabin sole is substantially different from the 35 MKII. The MKIII has many
more athwart ship sections than the MKII and it appears as though the sole
is fastened to those sections and that those sections may be holl
One year at Valentine's I suggested that we do "end-for-end" for a
change instead of the tried and true "dip pole" method.
I'd been hit about 3 times before she realized I was talking about sailing!

Andy,
You have heard correct about Building 1. The good news is MIRAGE was in the
back of the building, which remains intact. The building was slated for
replacement in the near future as it is the last original building onsite.
Nobody was hurt; and aside from the structure, damage was minimal.
Jake,
I don't think I am usually as aggressive as you, I am guessing, but - (these
are on distance races) I normally start out with an A sail on a headsail
tack shackle- if the wind comes back, and I believe it will stay back, I
will put the pole on the A sail tack and pop the bow shackle, then

Thanks Andy, now we have to do a bit of musical boats to find a new home for
it to finish up the job. We took the scaffolding down this morning and
should be moved in the morning.

Bill,
Very wet snow. We didn't get that much on the coast, no more than a foot.
It changed to rain after dark on Friday night, then back to snow. It was 46
and rainy today.

Chuck,
I will let you know how my spring goes. The boat needs a bunch of
fiberglass work to repair the damage from Sandy. The yard says it will be
done June 1, but not sure if that will be the case.
Thanks for the invitation to come to AC. Notwithstanding the above, I am

I really appreciate the info. About 90% of our racing is all W-L courses.

What model do you have?
I just yanked my Gori 2-blade prop off my 34/36. I put it on last year and

the shaft for true, put it back in the wat
When my old (15 year with one rebuild) MaxProp was replaced last spring, I went
with a Gori 2 blade racing prop which was discounted
at the time I bought it. My research showed that it had barely measurable drag.
