you need to learn about what a topping lift is used for and when you do you
will understand that it has no effect on the leach; the leach line is a
sail adjustment, the topping lift has no useful function when under sail

draft stripes, usually high contrast colour, about 1 inch wide, from
luff to leach, like mine are red and i think the intent is to make
seeing sail shape a little easier so if i remember correctly there are
2 draft stripes on the sail

If I kept my boat in the northwest Arm I would go with Bob's
experience...use Micron 66 if you can get it...as you know Bob is quite
meticulous about Azura and he follows manufacturer's directions well...one
year he had so much growth on his prop (2 blade fixed) in late september
that the boa
agree...if it ain't broke don't fix it, where did I hear that before...on
this list I think

I agree Chuck, I got 8 Lewmar D2's on Alianna and they have worked
flawlessly and did not damage my lines in any noticeable way for the past 8
years...I highly recommend these

One additional thing that I do; remove my bilge pump and switch to above
the floor boards during winter storage and flush the pump with a 50/50 mix
of ethylene gycol and water and leave the bottom end of the pump submerged
in the same mix...I think that helps to keep the pump in good shape for

Only the threads on the cap hold the zinc in my M4-30 heat exchanger and
the zinc pencil is treaded into the bronze cap so the cap is reusable.
Despite that the engine is fresh water cooled and charged with a 50/50
water antifreeze mix I change the zinc pencil about every 2 years and I use

I think you might have learned the hard way about what rig tune means in
that race we had with the K25 when we got whooped big time, especially on
stbd tack...no good at all if the mast isn't plumb, right???
I am not sure if anyone can feel tension as accurately as the gage does it
and the
David
Initial set on the forestay tension should give some aft rake on the mast.
In calm waters and after you have the mast plumb, hang a weight (say 5-10
lbs) on the main halyard just above the boom...that weight should hang out
anywhere from 6 inches to a foot aft of the mast...adjust forestay
My 35 MKII has a block set (4:1 advantage) inside the boom with 3/8 inch
diameter braid. I believe that was original gear and the outhaul was
adjusted using a number 10 Barient winch fasten forward to the stbd side of
the boom so that meant going up on deck with a winch handle in hand to make
clew
tie wraps on the turnbuckles work fine for me...I would likely change to
cotter pins for off shore but for waht sailing I do electric tie wraps work
fine...nthing seems to change much on daysails in 0-20 apparent on my 35
MKII and if it did I would likely notice overly slack tension to leeward

for Awlgripped hulls there is nothing better than Alcare

if you raced J 24 and J 30m and did well you probably know more than most

So this is about the shrouds that go all the way to the top from the
spreader tips, correct? Those are important shrouds, moreso than the
intermediates on your 32. You could use dye penetrant yourself whcih is an
aid to the naked eye for such inspections.

a 135 and a spinnaker...seems odd, i more expected a 100% jib for polars...
where with regards to angle does the spinnaker come into play? Are those
apparent wind angles or true wind angles...looks like they are apparent and
if so the important numbers, like for apparent wind angle 25-40 suggest t
I don't see any big problem with what you are doing and especially so if
both batteries are deep cycle...I have done something similar for about 8
years, maybe not as rigourously as you describe and my batteries were still
