Hi Chuck. For my preventers, I have 2 lines with eyes spliced in one end at forward end of boom. The other end is attached to the back of the boom. Then I have 2 lines going from cockpit forward to standup blocks on the foredeck. These can be also used for pole downhaul. When I'm not using the pole

The preventer setup describe is exactly what we used on the boat we sailed back from Maui to Victoria this summer. The control lines for the spin pole were also used for preventer, one on each side. The preventer lines ran along the boom and were stored at a cleat on the boom near the gooseneck whe

Chuck,  What size is the jib that you are using the barberhauler rig on?  I can't figure how that would work on a genoa with a an LP greater than 135%. Don Kern /Fireball,/ C&C 35 Mk2 Bristol, RI On 10/31/2022 2:01 PM, CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List wrote: Haven't figured how to rig a prevent

Haven't figured how to rig a preventer without going forward but I do use my barberhaulers in winds up to ten or fifteen knots as a preventer. Normally we rig barberhaulers to pull the genoa clew out and open the slot between the jib and mainsail. It's a simple rig; about twenty five feet of 5

The first test of the 4:1 mainsheet was a resounding success, it works great in light/medium air. I still need to grab the 6:1, I can see this being beyond my strength in heavy air. This brings up a new issue, the preventer. Since what was my preventer is now my mainsheet, I did not have a preve

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. O

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

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, having sai

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
