Thanks for sharing the photos. Something that I noticed is that your
docking lines appear to be fastened to your winches.I recommend that you
consider using an aft cleat for the stern lines (similar to how you have the
bow line) and midship attachment (to the toe rail for example) for sep

Pete,
I replaced my boom with a custom built one years ago. I wish I had saved my old
boom as a replacement for someone who needed it. That said, it did not need
replacement due to breakage or bending so that should be good news for most
owners.
Best,

Dwight, I agree with your docking observations. I went further than you on the

the flat area (getting a bunch more control) and put another 4:1 smaller setup

I know this is a long shot, but do any of the 37+ owners on here have
bikinis and, if so, do you have any photos as to how it’s mounted? I took mine

My boom is original and I haven’t had issues with it, although I do think that
it bends when you really crank down on to get a good shape in heavy air.

Avoiding Boom failure:
IMHO, you could check the area where the mainsheet block attaches to the Boom
and look for cracks or ovaling of the holes. You can add a second bail through
the boom, or change the attachment, so you divide up the point loading. Our

It's going to be tough and I doubt you'll get a ton of shade. If memory serves
the 37+ Is much like the 34+ with its long low boom. Similar story on our 121.
All we could fit was a single panel (2 bow). Still, a little shade is better
than no shade. Of course, if you're talking bikinis you
