We have had Perception since 2000, and replaced just about everything in the 15
years – Love the boat. We looked at upsizing, but realized that not many boats
sailed as well and were as easy to handle with just 2 of us (well 1 sailing 1
reading). Perception spent 20 years in salt/brackish water
Hi Scott,
We went back to wire & rope halyards for better reliability in the
stoppers (rope clutch). Even increasing the diameter at the stopper
interface improved but did not eliminate the occasional fail. Modern
cordage is wonderful but not necessary from a competitive advantage
unless you
One has to wonder about a cruising boat without a swim ladder. How would you
get into and out of the dinghy?
Anyway, on Imzadi I have a snatch block to attach to the end of the boom. Use
the Lifesling to get the MOB alongside, then route the line for the Lifesling
through the snatch block an
Don't like my 12 year old SOS suspender inflatable life jackets. They have a
built-in harness but keep catching things like winches, winch handles and
always at just the wrong time. I'll be checking out a newer, more streamlined
set at the boat show.
I have the Lifesling and keep a 3:1 handy b
FYI - was able to re-bush my masthead halyard sheaves with bronze bushings from
a local bearing supplier. $6. Heat in the bbq, press out, heat again, press
in new, greased bushings. Trim flush, deburr.good as new.

One of the MOB recovery options that used to be discussed in US Power
Squadron safe boating courses - particularly for a MOB who might be less
than mobile - was to let your mainsail out of the track and put it over the
rail with head, tack, and clew still attached, and then use the halyard to
hoist
I’ve used a spare jib halyard to hoist a small dink on a friend’s boat, and the
spare halyard and spin pole to lift a heavy RIB and swing it aboard on another
boat. Don’t see why you could not recover a MOB either.

Hi Rich,
I'll check Salerosa's r/stock diameter tomorrow and let you know.
Back in Nanaimo after our too long road trip.

There’s no reason not to splice a fancy new low-stretch rope halyard to an
easy-to-handle rope tail that will not slip in the rope clutch.

Rick,
We seldom use the boarding ladder for the dinghy. we find it much easier
to embark / disembark at the shrouds. Particularly true in any lumpy seas.

Heard this method discussed using the headsail, but the lifelines would be a
hurdle either way. It would be a chore for me to undo the mainsail exit plate
and release the slides and have all that mess. But nice to consider other
options. I have a 45 degree sloped transom, so I considered using a

Regarding the 33ii collapsing mast step problem...
Have read about this problem but have not been able to find any photos or
specific discussion online. Is anyone aware of a site that documents this
repair? Thanks

I have been watching this discussion with interest. Although every boat /
condition is different, in my case, I need to find a way that my diminutive
wife can use to recover me, should I end up in the water. She can't reach the
main headboard so that discounts use of the main halyard. My spare
