I have the split backstay arrangement as well. Probably the yard guys didn’t
push the adjuster up all the way to the split when they were reattaching the
backstays. Just a guess.

Good point.when I reattach mine, I have the second person holding
the backstay(s) push the adjuster all the way up ...usually with a boat

They said was that there were only a few threads engaged on the turnbuckle and
they were leaving it to me to tighten it further. I thought Josh’s idea to
take tension off the backstay with the halyard makes a lot of sense. I will
take a look at that today. I know the backstay adjuster was mos
Ditto Josh's solution.
Keel step rig. No issue with back stay off in calm or light conditions. If in
doubt use main halyard aft to block it.

I am probably stating the obvious, but make sure that there is _something_
holding the mast backwards (i.e. either a halyard, halyard/mainsheet
combination, or the topping lift/mainsheet combination). If you release the
backstay without that support, the forestay would pull the mast forward.

Ditto on mine. As well, unless you turn the boat upside down you can take all
the stays off. Light winds of course. Mast isn't going to fall out of the cabin.

Hi all
I am looking for a replacement rudder for my Mk1.
The boat is on it's 2nd rudder. What I have is just a straight spade
rudder (I am not sure of it's origin ).
A 100% new build from south shore yachts (or other) is possible but I'm
looking for more wallet friendly options.
At
Having my original rudder, I have to ask how you went through *2*???

I second that question and am also curious as to how she sails with the
straight blade vs the original swept scimitar rudder?

Good questions!
The first rudder change predates my relationship with the boat so I don't
know why it was changed in the first place.
This rudder took a hit and was repaired many years ago. Water infiltration
through the patch has done it's work.
I can't say from personal experience what the d

FWIW, I have a drawing from C&C for a "High Aspect Ratio Rudder" for a

This rudder definitely came off another boat, or at least out of the mold

it was a C&C 35 Mk3 or a C&C 33). The rudder post is still swept and the

Glad you had a good trip Dennis and sorry about the batteries. Thanks for
sharing the lesson. I just checked the water in mine (for the first time) last
weekend. They were full despite being several years old. Loads and usage on my
boat are pretty light.
Cheers,
Randy
