I have worn out three angle grinders (as well as 4 random orbital sanders)
during 15 years of boat ownership. Of course most were on my J Boat which has
even worse decks for water penetration and rot than C&Cs. The angle grinder is
pretty much my favourite tool and for at home too (ma

I looked at them at the Newport Boat Show two years ago and decided on the Mack
Pack. It is well designed and I find it so much easier to use to cover and
uncover the sail than a standard cover. Lots of clever little things that make
it easier to use. It can be rolled up for racing but most of

You can cut them and bend them into huge variety of tools.
Many years ago, I read this advice from a very experienced cruiser³never go
to sea without a wire coat hanger².

The angle grinder is a machete, the fein tool is a scalpel. That said,
it is amazing how "fine" you can be with an angle grinder. The angle
grinder can run big stiff twisted-brush scratch wheels and 30 grit abrasive
disks at high speed, it can remove steel fast, and with cut off wheels (zip

Hi Tim, am I understanding you correctly? You gave your boat away?
You are a better man than I!
Kudos. Those are some nice sounding sails, sad you only got a few hours use
out of them.
See you around the list.

It depends on your preferences. If you don't want to loose performance then
the Dutchman is the way to go. However you will have to deal with the sail
cover.
The Mack Pack requires a loose footed sail, and is easier to implement. It
does not require modifications or anything sawn to your sail. The
Sad to hear that you are moving on from Mojito Tim but glad to hear it is going
to a good home. Their website makes the Courageous Sailing program look like a
great endeavor
Hope all is well with life after sailing (or at least life after C&C)

Thanks Mike, it is a sad moment, but a) I get to see her / sail on or
against her if I'm in Boston and b) I have a lot to concentrate on with the
new boat, a Tayana 48. Let's hope the TOG (Tayana Owners Group) is
anywhere near as knowledgeable as this.

I just went with a loose footed mainsail and a dutchman flaking system. I
could have modified my sail cover to suit but replaced it instead since I'm
gradually changing colors.
I ordered a new mainsail & 135 self furling genoa from Quantum loft in
Annapolis.

Dave,
Great pictures on you blog. I've wanted to dig into my mast step for quite
a while (as it stinks). This would be an excellent primer for that kind of
work.
Cheers,

We had ours dry cleaned and it really helped a lot. They were just dusty I
guess. They hadn’t seen the sun much. It really brightened them up.

I'm just a day-sailing river rat and have never had to deal with rogue
containers. I wonder if, for coastal cruisers, the danger is greater to be
run down by a container ship than to collide with one of its washed
overboard containers. I have no idea.

I read an article years ago about semi-submerged containers. Then can lurk
just at the surface level and even in full daylight be almost invisible. A
collision with one can sink even a large private vessel in only a few
minute with no warning.

TimI have a Doyle StackPack complements of very wise prior owners. It is
one of the best things about my sailseasy to drop into, a bit of a pain to
raise as all sails are with lazy jacks. The absolute best thing about the
StackPack is how well it treats the sails...no sail ties to comp
Yes again nothing is perfect. The advantage of the Dutchman is that you
don't have to worry about battens getting caught.

Same question here for our 34+
Ours have issues where the plastic inside is cracking and the plastic
where snaps mount is getting pretty brittle as well..
I'd love to replace them all.
