Stus-List Handicapping Sprite and/or pole. Was Adding asym sail/sprit to C&C 36

Hi Chuck I think that is a question you will have to ask your area handicap association. In our area (Nova Scotia) and I believe in most other areas you make a single declaration of inventory / rig for an entire season. In Nova Scotia you would have to declare sprit/asym, pole/sym or both. M

In NC-PHRF, you get a single rating which is based on your largest headsail/fastest kite with penalties if you have a sprit, oversized kite/jib > 155%, etc. and independent of race configuration (W-L, distance, etc.). If you choose not to race with your largest jib or your biggest kite, your rat

Yes, I know about all of this. The problem is that they do not isolate the data regarding "state" when collecting the data. All they have is "hailing port" which can be just about anything. Usually it includes a two letter abbreviation for the state, but it is not captured as a separate piece.

Everyone has their favorite knots and they all have their merits, so if your happy with your arrangement stay with it. The reasons why I like this Jeanneau Halyard knot is that it won't untie it's self as Joel pointed out and because the bitter end is away from the sheave and not likely to foul wh

Re: Stus-List Masthead sheaves C&C 37+

I've heard that a bowline can reduce strength by 50%. Additionally a bowline has a fixed diameter loop or eye. It takes a good amount of dressing the knot to make the eye small. A bigger eye means that the knot "two blocks" or jambs in the sheave sooner. This could be a concern if you are tryin

Re: Stus-List Masthead sheaves C&C 37+

I couldn't help but chuckle that Jeanneau owners are claiming to have invented / named this knot. It's just the halyard hitch with a different finish. So perhaps it should be called halyard hitch, Jeanneau variant? I use the standard halyard hitch which ends with the tail up: https://www.netknots

Re: Stus-List Masthead sheaves C&C 37+

Any knot will reduce strength at roughly 40%. A splice, done correctly, will not. In fact, rope strength is tested with a splice on each end. And it never breaks at the splice. Chuck Gilchrest Novabraid Ropes Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2018, at 5:28 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List > wro

Fair enough Chuck and splices have their place and are quite favorable. I'm a big fan but they also carry their own detriment. Fattening and stiffening the line and wasting 2 or 3 feet of line to freshen the nip to name a few. Josh On Feb 1, 2018 7:58 PM, "Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List" < cnc-li
