I doubt 7 or 8 PSI will make any difference you would ever notice. You can look up how the boiling point of the coolant increases with pressure, but an engine running under 212 degrees (for water, 223 for 50/50 mix coolant) wouldn't be pressurizing the coolant anyway because it would not boil eve

Josh, Thanks for jumping in. For reference, it looks like this diagram. The traveler is on the bridge deck. The problem is the purchase. I might add a triple at the top and move the double to the bottom. That will give me 3:1 instead. But it doesn’t solve my wanting to trim the jib on the aft

My boat came setup from the PO with a cabin top mainsheet control to a cabin top winch. It was painfully under powered even with the winch. My traveler is located in the cockpit on the aft edge of the forward bench. I had previously, on other boats, only ever used a 4:1 mainsheet which was trimm

Hi Chuck I have seen your setup on a C&C 115. The 115 typically has the main sheet on either side go directly from traveler to aft winches but on the 115 I mentioned it went along boom to mast and then down and back. With your current setup could you not use the primaries for the main sheet wh

Josh, That’s a cool setup. I may steal elements of that and as Mike noted, I can always trim main on the primaries. Not having a rats nest on the cockpit floor is a benefit. And mark roundings are easier with the 2:1, at least until we get to the last 20% or so. Next project will be making the

Hey All, Getting new running rigging on a recently purchased C&C 36. What does the brain trust recommend for gybing: dip pole or end-to-end? I.e. Can get away with only lite sheets or do we need guys as well? Many thanks, Matt ___ Thanks everyone f

I. too, am a recovering foredeck guy. Bob is right. The steersman is the key. It's important that the steersman, and the entire crew, thinking of gybing as "turning the boat under the chute". The chute simply flies it's way down the course while the boat zig zags under it. it's a subtle but si

The mainsheet is 7/16. But I did not think it would pull out under shock load any more than under continuous tension. The free end is not moving since the traveller was pinned in the middle. Garhauer has no clue either so far. The only thing I notice is that the block tilts as the tension co

I've been doing dip pole gybes for years. On my present boat and on the Ericson 30 I had before this one. (That's almost forty-five years.) I use separate sheets and guys. Once you get your crew trained to do dip pose gybes, you'll be happy with how fast, and safe they are. Alan Bergen 35 Mk II
