I don’t have much of a problem with the sail catching on the lazy jacks when
raising it. As long as my main sheet is loose and I am pointed less than 90°
to the wind the sail is reasonably centered on the boom. I keep an eye on the
battens while going up to make sure all is well, but most of t
Yes, you are correct and I like your "burrito" visualization. It is a
technique I read about years ago for single/short handed sailors to quickly
and temporarily secure the main sail prior to neatly flaking at a later
time.

Hi Mark,
Wow! We have a lot in common. Last year I sold my 35 Mk II
(Expresso) and bought my 37/40+. I loved Expresso, but the 37+ is better
in almost every way. The performance difference is breathtaking. The boat
I bought was in pretty bad shape and I spent almost a year refitting her.
My holding tank is plastic but the hand hole came loose and was a
considerable pain in the ass to fix. The forward water tank in mine is
aluminum and the fuel tank is aluminum. The back stay attachments are a
place for detailed inspection. You'll probably find that the steering

Mark,
I've had a 37+ for 11 years now -- great boat. Mine is also the centerboard
model (kinda -- long story, but I can fill you in.)
Aside from the usual things, check the centerboard cable status.
Yes, the windows are an issue, but not a very difficult fix if you're handy and

Mark,
I am extremely pleased with my 1991 37+. It is responsive and very quick.
Here are a few things I've encountered.
The rod rigging requires periodic inspection and re-heading. Navtec
recommended re-heading the rods and replacing the turnbuckles every 10
years. Probably much of that is CY

over his boat and ask questions as it is similar and local.

The pole is a relatively light Forte carbon fiber pole with snap-in fitting on

I've been using dip pole gybes for the past forty years. I even did it
that way with my thirty foot Ericson, before getting my present boat. Dip
pole gybes are always safer, since you don't have to disconnect the pole
from the mast. the crew just needs practice. Get out and gybe back and
forth
Charlie,
While many consider 35-36 feet the upper limit for end for end gybes, we
use end for end with an aluminum pole on Touche' (35-1). With the right
technique, you shouldn't have issues.
I've been doing foredeck since the mid 90's. I think the key to a good,
and safe, end for end gybe is t
Not any longer--ditched that many years ago on the advice on my sailmaker who
saw little reason for it on a masthead rig without swept back spreaders and
with check stays except for reducing pumping in chop.

I just looked at the Ad in yachtworld. It looks identical to mine inside.
That engine, if it is a 3jh2 should be rated 38 HP, not 22.
I have a bit more tankage for water and waste.
I did replace my engine mounts last season.
Also had the Max prop refurbished.
I replaced the shaft seal.
