Stus-List 6 part mainsheet

2013-09-09 Thread Della Barba, Joe
I was sailing aboard The Office, a 35 MK III, last week and really liked the 6:1 Garhauer mainsheet system. My boat has the stock 3:1 system that runs forward to the mast and then aft to a cabin top winch. If I had this 6:1 system I could adjust the main from the helm, which would be nice. Does

Joe, I'd be interested to understand this system for my 35mk III. Had it been changed to boom end sheeting and a corresponding change on traveller location? Else how was the sheet made in easy reach of the helm? -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Sep 9, 2013, at 7:49, "Della Barba,

The MK III is not in reach of the helm, the traveler is forward of the companionway. My boat – a MK I – has end-boom sheeting and the traveler is right ahead of the wheel. Speaking of which – the 35 MK II and some 40s have the traveler right aft of the companionway. I always wondered how you ri

My 35-3 has been changed to have the traveler on the bridge deck. Great for racing an cruising, and no injuries to date, but that is a real concern. I remember sailing in Turkey when I was 16; a girl on a boat nearby was killed in exactly that way. Tim Mojito C&C 35-3 Branford, CT On Sep 9,

In theory, we're handicapping the boat so the skipper and crew win or lose the race.  (Not wanting to start a thread on the inadequacies of PHRF or other handicap methods). For an overall trophy, I think it makes sense to count all races on both boats.  We're just doing this for fun, right? Ron

On my old C&C 24 I had the traveller aft of the companion way (almost a foot aft). It was great for handling the main (I also had a good Harken traveller car there), but it was a major pain for anyone going inside. My admiral hated it. To the point that the hard requirement for the new(er) boat

I think that's the nub. It might be nice for that skipper, but I think you might find that some of the other skippers might have a problem with it, even though they might not say so. The rules are here or a reason and I think it's good to be guided by them. Andy Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett

Disagree. We are YACHT racing, not SKIPPER racing. Once you let one guy slide on the rules, you have to let the next guy do it too. If I had two boats and I saw one person get by with multi-boat scoring I would damn well insist that I get to do it too. Joe Della Barba Coquina From: CnC-List [

Part 6 of the Racing Rules of Sailing (See Rule 75) states it is the boat which is the entry. Not the owner, not the skipper. New boat, new entry. Can't combine scores. Spoke to a US Sailing judge about this a couple of years ago. He stated firmly -- New hull, new set of scores.
