Have you seen this:

It is an interesting test with some useful advice.
There must be somewhere a PDF of it (I have it), but I cannot find it. And they
have some interesting videos, as well. On other topics, as w
Now if you don’t mind, could you explain a “Bung Hole” and “Bung Wrench”?

As someone who does the pointy end on multiple racing boats, I fully concur.

I recall a discussion a while back on the list about having fire blankets on
board. At the time, I looked up a few fire blankets online, and I planned on
getting one or two. After reading about yesterday’s Vendee Globe fire, I’m
getting a few fire blankets today.
Be sure to watch the video af

I lost a previous boat to a fire. Ours was more of a get-off-now kinda fire.

Yikes, and I have been blaming it on the foredeck guys!

Think about it like this, if the center seam on the bottom panel of the
chute is directly ahead of the boat (centered on the forestay) it is easy
to move the chute side to side to make the pole on either side. If the
center seam has prematurely crossed the forestay to the leeward side then

I had watched that video series years ago - but it was good to go
back a re-read the comments.
The epoxy putty my friend used cured underwater - so he was able
to hold it in place and get a fair seal (smaller diameter hole
likely made it easier as well)
Another aspect of smoother end for end gybes with sheets and guys is having the
foredeck make certain there is plenty of slack lazy guy at the chain plates
prior to beginning the maneuver – how much slack is determined through
practice. When the pole is trimmed back as the boat turns down, and
So it was a solar charge controller that started the electrical fire.
Interesting since the list was just recently discussing solar panels (and
I'm planning to do that project in the spring).
Either the controller was faulty, overloaded, or improperly installed. Hard
to speculate on which it was..
Not sure why the ass end of the boat has so much difficulty following

Not necessarily. Same as in a house, an arc fault (or conceptually similar)
can ignite combustible materials at lower-than-protected current levels. Well
secured wiring Protected from chafe is a really good idea.

A controller handling 100 watts can get pretty hot and not blow a fuse if the
fault is a 9.99 amp fault and not a dead short. My solar wiring is only fused
on the battery end, the controller itself has no fuse between it and the panel.

The controlled on our Nova Kool LT200 refrigeration unit is on its
last legs. It works like me...once in a while, but only when I want
to. So, it has to be replacedhmmm. But I digress. I have been
told that the controller on the older (pre 98) Nova Kools are no
longer available.

Mine has had problems which include a fan that needed replaced. IIRC,

We need to put that guy on the pointy end of my 42 in 20-25 knots of breeze
with the massive chute and (mostly) following seas. Even the church-goers
start sounding like him.
