Thanks for the input, Jim. I had gotten most of the shells off with my small

Thanks to everyone who showed up and thanks Josh! I can’t recall eating and

Hello all,
I have a n1994 C&C 37/40+, and recently got a lightly used cruising spinnaker
from Bacons. In rigging it up yesterday to check the fit, it occurred to me
that I need to check into the manner in which the tack should be attached to
the boat. In this picture, you will see how I rigged
Have you looked at an ATN Tacker?

Hello all,
I have a n1994 C&C 37/40+, and recently got a lightly used cruising spinnaker
I have not looked at the Tacker. That would seem to make sense, as it would
seem to transfer much of the load to the forestay where such large loads
presumably belong. That said, would the ring in the photo be sufficient to
bare the load, or should I still find a way to attach the tack line to
Bruce,
It’s hard to say if that ring can handle the load without seeing the backing
plate that is keeping it in place. My 37+ doesn’t have that ring there, but a
different type of anchoring gear which I found more than suitable (super
strong) and a end point for my spinnaker downhaul.
The anc
In a perfect world, a line would be led from the tack through a block back to
the cockpit. The block would be attached to the deck forward of the fire stay.
The tack line would be eased or trimmed to shape the curve of the luff.
You MAY barely have room to attach a padeye with a diamond shaped b
The boat was designed with a depth of 6'-5 inches in salt water.
If it were floating in fresh water it would sink .3", so the draft would be
6'-5-1/2"
It takes 875 pounds to sink the boat one inch.
So if there is double that added since building, then the draft would be 6'-5"
plus .3" plus 2"
I've use, and stopped using the ATN tacker. It puts a side load on the
foil. It can't be good for the furler.

The way the line and block are run in the photo it would be impossible to
to tack the chute to port without fouling. We have a much smaller 30-2, but
with essentially the same bow set up/anchor roller etc. Our tack block is

We set our new asym on Saturday with the ATN tacker and sock. A tack line runs

blowing the tack, when urgent dousing is needed. I can si

It is different for every boat. A 37 wouldn’t be real far off that.
You can DIY – figure the horizontal area of the hull at the waterline, then
figure out the cubic volume for one inch of submersion, and then figure out how
much that much water would weigh.

Not that it is necessarily the best answer, but I have had success using
the anchor roller as a bow sprit for the spinnaker. A rubber roller
provides a turning point for the tack line. You can run the tack line to a
bow cleat. Under load it becomes very difficult to adjust. If you lead if

POUNDS PER INCH IMMERSION (PPI):
The weight required to sink the yacht one inch.
It is calculated by multiplying the LWL area by 5.333 for sea water or 5.2

The PPI usually increases as the hull sinks into the water as the LWL area

Probably somewhat empirical number, but it has to change depending on the shape
of the boat (the more beamy it is, the less it would sink with the same
increase of weight), doesn’t it?

It's a matter of waterplane area (the area of the plane created by your
waterline). What it amounts to is that the weight to sink one inch is
equal to the weight of the water pushed aside as the boat sinks one
inch. That amount of water is the waterplane area x 1". If you are in
light water (
It would depend more on flare above the waterline than beam.
