Those fittings are called Qest and can be purchased here:

You can get barbed adapters at Lowes and HD for Qest to Pex pipe. IIRC
they are labels PB to Pex. The pipe is called polybutylene. They entire
product line was part of a class action lawsuit whi
I found that the Qest fittings were very space efficient, only rivalled by
copper. So I plumbed a manifold that would meet my needs. For one reason
or another the Raritan water heaters are quite expensive so I rebuilt
mine. I posted these last year.

Are you sure that they are not the PVC fittings that you get at Home Depot or
Lowes? They look to me very similar to what one would use for the cottage water
supply lines.

Positive.
They are NPS (straight) thread and actually work on a compression fitting
basis and are poor choices when interfacing with NPT (taperred). Each
piece had a built in cone or cup and that is the sealling surface. Snug

I broke one of those gray connectors a couple summers ago while I was
wrestling the new exhaust hose in. I was in a really tight spot as I had
family and friends coming from out of state and to sail the next day. With

Try a bolt. Maybe over drill the hole and up size the bolt. A nylock wing
nut and washers. Drill a small hole in the end of the thread to accept a
split ring just in case the wing nut backs off.

Seriously, hope every one is doing well in the snow, wind and cold.
I'm actually on Day 12 of about 30 days out west skiing. Currently in

On the value of these boats, not sure if this sheds any light, but it is an
interesting story.
In 2012 there was an older C&C 61 custom ketch on a mooring owned by a boat
yard upriver from our club on the Hudson River. The ask was ~$350k. The
owner was an eldery gentleman and access to the boat wa

Good sailmakers will suggest a dogbone, a strip
of wbbing with an O-ring on each end through the
reef grommet or ring. They might sew one side

on. It's MUCH easier to get that ring on your
hook. Or you can use a cunningham with a hook

At 61’ you would think they could find a decent place to store a dinghy!
Always a problem and one we never solved on our “lavish” 51. Big boat - small

I don't have one; just the weave line. I wish I had the cunningham since it
makes the trim so much easier.
It's too much effort to untie the weave line on reaches, so it doesn't get
done. With the cunningham, it would just be a flick of the wrist to throw off
or on.

Antoine,
We used to call that a flattening reef. It doesn't change the sail area much
at all, but it does effectively flatter the main as wind increases and allows
pointing higher as you point out.

Bacon is the "go to" place for used sails around here. Good square deals.
It definitely sounds like you could use a good working jib.
