Tim,
I'll try and visit my boat this lunchtime and I'll take some photos for
you. I replaced the original traveller track with a harken track and car
(making sure I bought the compatible both hole pitch rather than the new
one - I bought it from Mauri Pro and it fitted the old holes perfectly)
I
I think the triple block and ratchet system that I sent you a picture of
from my 35 MKII is a bit much for your 29.you could however use a double
block and ratchet system in a similar arrangement for a 5:1 purchase.I think
that would do fine.the ratchet block with cleat is a nice little feature for
Guy I sail with has this two speed set up on his Hotfoot 20.

I'm usually the helmsman and I really like it.
Thinking of putting it on my C&C 26.
I replaced the original traveller and car with a Harken setup a couple of years
ago
On my J/80 I had a 5:1 purchase and hooked a 2:1 purchase to the tail,
doubling the initial purchase for the last 5 feet or so, which is the only
bit that really tough to get in. And eliminating the need for yards of
extra sheet over the side when you're reaching, or in the cockpit when
you're goin
My 29 mark 2 has a Harken traveller track and car with a 5 to 1 mainsheet
system.
The traveller car has 3 to 1 controls
Works well and the main can be trimmed with a modest effort.

I would very much like to see your set up, as well. Not at all pleased with
the present traveler system on my 29-2.

Tim,
Funny you mentioned that; I'm in the same boat, pun intended!
Although my boat and probably my house are smaller.

John,
I replaced the one on my 29-2 with a custom designed traveler from Garhauer
and was really pleased with it. I'll send you some pictures when I get to
my other computer. I would be interested in knowing which Harken system
Ian used because I worked with Harken and carefully measured all of
I have used both Lifeseal and Lifecaulk and both are great. One thing I
especially like is that they do not cure in the tube after opening (or cure
much slower than others). Dave

I started using Lifecaulk about 10 years ago when I first bought our boat.
Tried 4200 3 years ago when I added jam cleats and found the adhesion much
stronger. Life caulk takes days longer to cure. I was working alone and was so
careful to place the 4200 under the screw head and under the cleat
For basic coastal coverage, BoatUS or any of the others mentioned
will do fine.
For more esoteric coverage (offshore, hurricane season, charter,
funky cruising grounds) you may need more of a specialist. I've
kicked around a few but have landed with IMIS (they advertise in all
the sailing mags)
I have gotten responses from BoatUS and Gowrie and both include coverage to
have the boat pulled in the event of a hurricane and both cover hurricane
damage. Gowrie was significantly cheaper! Dave

I upgraded the mainsheet system on my 35-2 to an "Easymatic 2" system which I
purchased from Holland Marine.
Go to http://www.hollandmarine.com and look at pages 307-309.
It is an expensive system and perhaps if you have experience at rigging you
could build the system yourself but for me with my

Here is my setup. Only drawback is that it doesn't work well
single-handed. But as I only race fully crewed, it's not a problem for me.
Here are the photo's (Don't look at the varnish on the companionway - job
for a little later when it gets a bit warmer and less likely to rain!)

A number of us have been through this. Looking at the picture, I can see
that the aluminum base for the mast to sit in is different than the one on
my '80 - much deeper. Mine also has a hole in the 'cup' which drains it
out - into the bilge. I also installed a pump down there to keep things dry.
What's the difference between Lifeseal & Lifecaulk?RonWild CheriC&C 30STL

The caulk sticks to Starboard. Silicone does not.

Yes it is - makes it easy to release the leeward traveler line when you
tack.
