I did a group buy for masthead sheaves for an owners group of Alberg 30s years
ago from Zephyrwerks. Absolutely first rate product, good price, and great guy
to work with.

I chuckled at your closing line, Dave. My wife has become more interested in
going out on the boat in recent years. This past summer I set the anchor
twice. First time in decades.

I went up the mast at the end of the season to remove the genoa halyard
sheaves for replacement. I discovered that they cannot be removed on my
boat (C&C 42 Custom) with the mast up, or at least not easily, because the
forestay is in the way. This project will need to wait until the mast is
down.
Bill’s assessment is correct. He left out that the Erie Yacht Club Racing
Fleet, which used only race with spinnakers, had dwindled to about 10 or so
active boats. The Chairman at the time (I was Vice Chair) developed the
Wednesday night Family Jib and Main (FJAM) racing, which uses a handicap

I wouldn't try replacing mast head sheaves unless the mast was out and placed
somewhere I could work on it safely.
The mast head sheaves on my Offshore Spars mast ride on SS axles and they are
captive inside the welded mast. I had the mast pulled and did the following:

Way back in NAVY bootcamp they taught us to call it the overhead. There are
also decks and bulkheads. The USN spin on things.

Being a graduate of Annapolis I was familiar/use the common nautical
terms of overhead, deck, bulkhead, ladder, lines, head (much to my
wife's ridicule at home). When working for Raytheon doing radar and

Last spring I had the mast down for the first time since I bought the boat,
One of the things I was planning to do was replace the sheaves. I was able to
get the plates off with an impact driver, but I could not budge the sheaves.

At the risk of providing TMI, my perspective on racing has evolved over time.
I started racing on my Dad’s Cal 33 when I was a kid. We were dedicated racers
(and won a lot), which meant at least a full day every weekend (usually
Sundays) late spring, summer, and early fall. My Mom was not a sa
Enjoyed your email. Sounds like you made some wise choices, Mathew.
I used to race with crew and enjoyed it tremendously. I brought a few friends
and my son recruited crew from high school and later college. But it was hard
to keep the same guys and my best crewmembers graduated college and
I have always known the “ceiling” in a boat to be the deckhead. The actual
ceiling is the “planking” on the inside of the frames to give a nice smooth
planked look on the inside as well as provide structural rigidity and
longitudinal stiffness. And floors are below the cabin sole, which is wha
I think that for me when it's time to replace the sheaves it will be time to
replace the boat and let the next owner deal with it.

Hi fellow C&C 99 owners,
On the inside of the hull the covering applied is properly called a ceiling.
I am from a family of wooden boatbuilders and we don't like to use
terminology associated with houses on boats but ceiling is defined below
from the Glossary of Nautical terms.

Planking
Thanks Rod--you obviously know your nautical terms, as do some others on this
list. Now a few more listers, including myself, know what to call this
'planking'.
With that out of the way, back to draining the swamp! To wit: some of this
