Hey Joe,
IMHO, Four to one may be underpowered for heavier wind, unless you take it to a
winch. Not sure if your traveller is mid boom or end of boom.
The system on our 34R is end of boom and we have 5 to 1 course and 20 to 1 fine
and the higher ratio is needed when she's powered up which is an
Joe,
Does your 35-1 have end boom sheeting?

Joe,
My 35-1 has a 6:1 purchase on a Harken traveller, and I have to pull
reasonable hard to get the boom tight in any kind of breeze. I don't
think a 4:1 would do it. That said, in light airs the 4:1 would be
nice. Maybe you could use 6:1 but drop it to 4:1 in light airs, which,

Good day all.
I must be looking for things to do because I'm pondering how I might improve
the companionway hatch. The acrylic is crazed and requires replacement, and
I've also noticed some of the turtle (fiberglass cover/housing) screws had
loosened.
I've disassembled it, and documented i
I had 7:1 purchase with end boom sheeting and ratchet block at the
bridgedeck traveler and that was bearly enough at above 15 kts apparent on
my 35mKII. She had a higher than normal aspect ratio mainsail owing to the
slightly less than 12 foot E dimension. I think 4:1 won't be good in
anything but
4:1 is not enough in heavy air. As you increase the purchase (6:1), you
will have more friction which makes it more difficult to ease the sheet in
light air. Also, as you increase the purchase, you will have a longer
sheet, and it will take longer to sheet in and out. I have a 4:1 purchase
plus a m
Yes it does,

Great advice!
I think I will grab the 6:1 sheet and the 4:1 can go back to being a preventer.
If I really wanted to I guess I could swap them out as desired.

I would recommend a 3:1/6:1 arrangement with double line, something like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aktbkuov19c4q9y/AACSrPhw1Xq758Tk8U7fae1ea?dl=0. All
blocks are Garhauer. The special double block, double cam was around $75.
Mine is a 27 ft boat, so the forces are respectively smaller.

Over the past couple of weeks Ive been sorting and reorganizing in the
garage, and I have some stuff that I dont need or want to keep, but that
may have value to another C&C owner. Before I discard things, or offer then
to a local boater resale shop, I thought I would offer them to the list.

On my 35 mk I, I have a 4:1 and another 4:1 tweaker/fine tune adjustment.
