Apologies for this late follow up. I discovered that when I opened the fill cap
on the port side, the tanks would *slowly* equalize. I blew out the vents on
both sides, but this did not seem to improve anything. At least I now can get
the water distributed and then shut off a tank when full.

We’ve been sailing this summer with two exhausted composite headsails (110&125)

The leeches on both sails reveal a tortured past with the babystay. With a new

Great thoughts all. I use our hydraulic backstay to much greater effect. I’m
going to tie the baby back and watch the results on the main, which likely was
cut for that lower fwd tension. We sail in the Salish, so heavy air is

vent yours and if so, how? I’m considering routing a vent forward to
the anchor locker, but then, we have the vent from the anchor locker to the

you have any other advice on the product.

Over the winter, I rebuilt the Barient 2-sp 28s that were original on my
‘85 37. Only had to replace the springs. Pawls appeared to have been
replaced a few years ago but showed minimal wear; the gears and bearings
were well greased by previous owners and in good shape. I’d say maintenance
matters
On this relatively recent thread, I see the idea I have for mounting a
horizontal windless on a custom shelf under the locker hatch . Edd, how did
your project work out? Lessons learned? I see earlier comment on this from
Martin DeYoung and others.
On my ‘85 37, I’m thinking of mounting heavy 7
Really nice setup, Tom. The handle holder is a nice touch. The early 37 is
equipped with an access panel in the locker bulkhead which, without a lot more
more work, doesn’t allow space for that type of mounting. Looks like good
straight drop to the bottom of the cavity.

that matters), they ha
Thank you all for the quick replies. I have no leak issues around the deck
opening, observed after some heavy rain this winter. The wedges also appear to
be in good shape—just loose. Perhaps I’m hearing from above they may be too
small or the wrong shape? Charles, I’ll ping you for what to look
needed at the engine (Yanmar 3H 27). Tips &
resources appreciated.
