Yes I have bolt cutters that are normally on board and were always on our J27
"Nut Case". For some reason they are still on my work bench at home though ...
As for weight .. we just removed electric winches and replaced with Lewmar ST

You would think that Graham would give us a set of set sockets and help
lighten his boat.with 260 pieces, he must have 3 of everything.
And if you need to 'borrow' any of Graham's sockets, there is a bolt
cutter on AZURA.

Is it possible that one side released putting all the load on the one that
failed?
If so you may want to add barrel locks to prevent someone from accidentally
knocking one side loose.

Hi Richard,
The history of the cup itself is here:

The race is a bit unique in that it starts at 6PM on a Friday night and goes
across Lake Michigan, so most of the rac
The Queen's cup was traditionally run from Milwaukee to Muskegon but has
branched out to other harbors recently. It is a fairly old race (this
year is the 77th) and is an overnight drag race across the lake.
Frequently a single set of sails, many times a Spinnaker run. This year

An actual traveller for the mainsheet (usually about a foot back from the
companion way) is one of the best upgrades you can make for the boat. At least,
if you want her to sail well. Usually, the admirals hate it because it hits
your shins every time you try entering the cabin.
Not to mention
Robert, If the 3 in 1 oil you used stops working, try spray silicone. It's
supposed to be the best lube for Delrin plastic. It's the same material as the

too. If it's a long term problem I would get a new bearing machine

I would suggest LPS-2 as superior to either WD-40 or Silicone spray in

Mine had a windward sheeting Harken traveller that adjusted itself after the
tack. It was an expensive upgrade (I think around $500 more), but it worked
beautifully.

I know the cheap booze spray bottle trick, but you probably invented it with a

Hi Doug,
The gaff or winch handle is dangerous and messy on board. When you get the

the gill slits. The darn thing wouldn’t die; it just kept

I personally wouldn't want to be looking for pliers hammer etc during a
dismasting and then trying to pull clevis pins in a pitching sea with the
waves punching holes in the side of the boat with the mast. What ever is
easiest and *fastest* is safest in a dismasting event is best IMO.

On a delivery from Tonga to New Zealand we caught a 70lb yellow fin tuna. The
vodka trick came in handy. That fish was particularly pissed off to find
itself winched up a backstay and being readied to be butchered into football
sized roasts.

The mahi seem to favor neon-green squid lures. I think we had a 40-lb nylon

No worries. With all this talk I took the set home, all that is left is
a couple of rusty screwdrivers, a hammer, and vice grips. And the bolt

The offshore fishing set up that worked well for me is:

(old lead wire spool work great) to be easily handled.

We used a cedar plug trailing on a heavy mono line joined to surgical
tubing coming back from Hawaii last year, got a nice mahi and a nice
albacore within minutes. A spray bottle of vodka dispatched them amazingly
quickly. One shot into each gill and that was that.

We've had good luck with a cedar plug, too.
I think it's appropriate, given the direction of this thread, to mention that
the difference between a sea story and a fairy tale is that one starts "Once
