Hi Bryan,
It's okay advice up to the point of welding an attachment to the

transfer the load to the stem when it can go there directly? The tack

Hi Bill,
I should have been more clear in saying... the recommended weldment &
rigging is unnecessary. If you're going to have the CDI drum above
the pulpit you might as well tack line to the stem and provide
lateral support off the forestay with something like the ATN unit.

The CDI is cheaper than the Harken, and less expensive. It has more
plastic and with would be more prone to fail. I recall it having a good
warranty though.

I fit CDI furlers to the Macgregor's we sell. I don't remember ever having one fail or ever having to replace one. That said, once the sail is hoisted there is no way to adjust luff tension while sailing as the halyard is part of the furler (which turns with the foil) not part of the mast. I've got
Are we confusing a genoa furling system with a furling system for a wire luff
off the wind sail here? They are two completely different animals. :)

and Andy think alike!
Mid boom will work to hold the boom out, although if the boat does gybe and
it is not let off the boom could break. The end of boom is the safest, best
to install a piece of Spectra from the end of boom
My original post:
I was looking to buy an asymmetrical spinnaker for my c&c 30-1 but the
sailmaker recommended a 1.5 oz drifter instead with a CDI flexible furler
as this would allow sailing on a greater number of points of sail. I like
the idea but can not figure out a good attachment point for t
Bryan, do you have an anchor roller on your bow? If so, that might be a better
alternative for connecting the furler unit than a stay to the pulpit- it is
usually very stout and bolted or welded on, thus it can handle the stress of a
headsail regardless of whether its on a furler or free flyin

I've been seriously thinking about a similar setup for my C&C 29-2, but for
now I'm hoping I can use the stem fitting as an attachment point. My
research (online only) was leading to a Selden furler. I'd welcome
observations from the list on those.

Hello all
I have an elderly Yanmar 3GMD engine that is raw water cooled. It has
plugged twice in the last two years where the water goes through a knuckle
into the mixing elbow. The first time (summer before last) was some solid
bit that had gotten stuck - how it got there I don't know. The

That's what it sounds like. It does not sound like a carbon build-up.
However, if the engine is only used for short periods of time at low speed
it might be contributing to the problem.

Once, many years ago. I checked it when it overheated two years ago and it
was fine - i.e. the bit didn't come off of it. I didn't check it this time,
as when I cleared the knuckle the water was pumping fine and I was running
late in catching the ebb home.

I have been considering this upgrade as well. I am thinking about a removable bowsprit for mounting the furler. http://www.newjsi.com/bowsprits.aspx

That looks like an elegant solution.If one did mount the furler on the pulpit, it would seem that additional support for the pulpit would be in order. Something like a wire from the mounting rail to the deck thus preventing the pulpit bar from lifting under load.That's how the baby stay padeye is
Pluggage at the small elbow where the cooling water enters the mix elbow is
common in older Yanmars. Remove the small elbow. Clean it and its entry point
to the mix elbow.
More an irritation than a concern.
My feeling is it's due to excessive idling and low rpm running. Push the engine
a bit
Nobody cares but I like the new top down furlers and Selden sprits, and I'd anchor the tack line to a U-bolt thru the bow. Someday.ChuckResolute1990 C&C 34RAtlantic City, NJFrom: "David Knecht" To: "CNC boat owners, cnc-list" Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 2:08:49 PMSubject: Re: Stus-List CDI furling

Works real slick. He single hands it easily.
I think if cost about $3700 for the 38 Catalina.

I had to drill out the deposits in the little injection elbow once, then
replaced it entirely a year later. Once it starts to plug, it accelerates.
It's a cheap part, just replace it.
