Re: Stus-List Mast Rake for C 41
On our C 41, Der Baron we set it up with about 1 degree of rake. The major problem was dealing with the keel bolt at the mast step. We had to cut back a small amount of the mast at the base to allow for the base to move forward. We also adjusted the shims at the deck to put some slight pre-bend. We did it in 1986,some I'm not sure what else we may have done. Since then, we mostly use the hydraulic backstay , the baby stay, or the runners to adjust the mast bend and the sail shape.

I forget what the degree of rake came out to be, but it wasn't much. To implement it in the field, I hung a bucket of water from the main halyard and raked the mast back until the halyard near deck level was the calculated distance from the mast. Once the mast was positioned where I wanted it, I installed a Spartite plug. I used leftover Spartite to make chocks for the mast step base. Not high-tech, but seems to have worked out okay. -Original Message- From: Doug Allardyce via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2018 10:03 AM To: C List Cc: Doug Allardyce Subject: Stus-List Mast Rake for C 41 I'm looking for advice on what mast rake works best for a C 41 Doug Allardyce C 41 BULLET Detroit ~_/)~ ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List Mast Rake for C 41
Good comment, Josh. It was NOT a simple job to increase the rake on Touche'. Touche' has SparTite in the collar so moving the mast in the collar was not an option. I actually had to replace the fore stay when I added rake. Had to drop the Harken furler, disassemble it, install the new fore stay, find and install a new longer section of extrusion, re-hoist the furler, then adjust the turnbuckle in the furler. As I recall, I had to add about 5 inches to the fore stay to get the rake I wanted. Worst part was using trigonometry to calculate the new fore stay length. :( Second worst part was trying to find a section of old Harken MKIII Unit 1 furler extrusion. One of my sailing buddies had some. Fortunately, my buddy and I install furlers so all it cost me was $150 or so for the fore stay and a nice bottle of wine. It did make a noticeable difference in pointing ability. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Mast Rake for C 41
How do you intend to change the rake? It's a bigger project than you think. You'll need to consider placement of the foot in the step and the shims at the partners and the head stay length and the back stay length. If you have a headsail furler changing the headstay length is going to be further complicated. What makes you think that the rake needs changed? You may simply find that changing the ratio of mainsail size to headsail size is the trick to easing weather helm.

Re: Stus-List Mast Rake for C 41
Doug, I use about 1 degree on Touche', 35-1. That equates to about 11-12 inches aft of the mast along the boom. Touche' has a P dimension of 38 feet. That's about 0.3 inches per foot of the P dimension. (There's a joke in there somewhere.) Your 41 should be similar. The weather helm is still nicely manageable with a 155% genoa. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Oil drops in coolant
Check the compression. Its not a guarantee but there is a good chance that a blown head gasket will show as poor compression... You can also pressure check the cooling circuit.
