Good Day all,
Set Windstar ('85 33-2) on the hard yesterday, mast down. A rewire of the
mast has been on the to-do list for awhile. I noted (again) two
long-unused conductors poking out of the mast below the lower spreaders.
No light fixture, but there is a labelled breaker in the panel.

Will second Bill's comment. Two years ago a C&C 37 was in our boat yard for
the winter with a keel that was not well attached to the keel stub. The
keel nuts would not tighten but slipped on the bolt threads. Dropped the
keel to discover the bolts had not been sealed at manufacture allowing bilg
Dave — I’ve got the LED combo deck/steaming light I replaced last winter; and
yes, I do occasionally use it to light the deck at night. More often when
sailing at night, I’ll use a red LED headlamp, though, to save night vision.

The only time I ever used my deck light was when I docked late in the evening
(at dark) and used the light when clearing the boat after the sail (putting on
the main sail cover, coiling all lines etc.). Possibly you could use it when
sailing if you have some major sail change coming (but then a
One other thought to mention: if you’re sailing at night and want to confirm
that another boat sees you, you can light up the sails pretty effectively using
the deck light, as well.

I don’t have them to use, but my steaming light does a fair job lighting up the
foredeck. If there is some kind of tangled up mess with a chute or something
we might turn it on to see what is what. Traditional spreader lights are good
to make your boat visible to others if needed or cleaning up
For the record - those are not photos of windstar! The one that is really bad
was a 33-2 and it piqued my curiosity so I went for a walk with my camera.
I did have the waterlogged keel stub issue, which I fixed, and I then bedded
and epoxy/glassed over the keel/hull joint, faired with epoxy,
Hi,
My previous C&C had spreader lights and I used them before the advent of
cheap, reliable, LED headlamps.
My current boat has a deck light under the steaming light and I don't use
it.
One nice feature of ether deck or spreader is that you can light up the
boat in an emergency.
If you do repl
At night we have headlamps on. We will light up the sail with the white
light.
Spreader lights would be nice dockside, but otherwise I would have no use
for them. I don't like making holes in spars, so my default is less stuff.

Thanks Randy,
That is a sweet page, Thanks for Sharing.
I was able to make a .csv and import it into the e-95, (I used the C&C38
Polars). Unfortunately it will probably be next spring B4 I see what it does
for my Dynamic Vectors/Laylines.

Dave,
I have not used my spreader lights while sailing(yet), but I have used them
many times for social activities mostly while docked at my marina but also
sometimes while at anchor socializing with a large group. That said, I
normally anchor over night limiting my light and noise pollution.
I only use mine dockside at night when tidying the boat after a sail.
Cheers,
Randy

Since we're back to this, I've appended the polar data (in CSV format) I got

Those are a reasonable approximation but they're from a 30E, the European
edition of the 30, which has a different design from my MK I (e.g. reverse
transom, different interior, probably different displacement), and who knows
what sails and what kind of prop etc. That boat is apparently fastest
Add a dirty bottom at this time of year and they'd work for my boat
too. :-)
Are you using speed over ground or speed over water for your baseline speed?

Speed over ground - the SailTimer App uses GPS to calculate speed. And it's
showing about 0.75 - 1.0 knots faster than my onboard transducer-based speed
instrument. Since I trust GPS more, I'm now calibrating the onboard instrument
to match the speed shown by the app.

Perfect.
Btw, depending on where you sail, your Speed over water won't ever
match. By doing the math between the two you can determine
how much current you are in and with some calculations how much that is
setting you off course. Food for thought.
