Hi all,
I'm new to a LF38 this year and would like to know what people are using for an
autopilot on this boat. Mine came with a ST3000 which still works, but it is
inconvenient to set up and is easy to trip over and step on during use.
Looking at Raymarine's specs for their SPX-5, the LF38
You say your sails are rather old. If your sails are getting older the draft

another 110 for the last five years. Seriously considered a

I spent a couple hours at a very soggy boat show today. There was no sign
of the CC guys, and they were not listed as exhibitors. The CC 101 is
now the Tartan 101.
Sailing anarchy has a drawing of a new CC 30 racer on its home page.
Looks like they are going after the Farr 30 crowd.

I hope to get to the Annapolis show Monday, when it's drier, but it will
probably be the most crowded due to the rainy stuff going on now.
Don't expect to board any boats either, though I love the atmosphere and seeing
the different designs.

still setting up - drizzle most of the day. Had no problem getting to talk to

I just put your cell number in my phone. I'll call you and we'll meetup when

interested.

As part of my rebuild, I noticed two things about the pedestal.
1) The existing bolts/screws were ¼ 20 SS
2) EDSON will sell specially coated versions to inhibit galvanic corrosion
My question is; Why not use BRONZE to avoid any ferrous influence. I know
some SS is non magnetic,
FWIW The bolts on our pedestal are 1/2 aluminum I believe, 6 long with
aluminum washers and nuts.
The foot is far enough from the compass, SS should be fine. The stainless cable
is closer to the compass. Just use the biggest bolts that will fit, and add
lanacote to keep SS from fusing to the

How is VMG upwind calculated? Earlier on this list, someone made the good point
that VMG calculated to a waypoint (from GPS data) is not the best way, and my
exploration of Google hits confirm that. One should focus on VMG upwind. But
I am struggling to figure out how that is calculated. To

I have the Raymarine ST 60 instrumnet package,which measure boatspeed,
apparent wind speed, apparent wind angle and true wind angle as well as
many other parameters unrelated to the calculation of VMG upwind
Check this page to see how VMG upwind is calculated from true wind angle
and boat speed.
Eric,
For simplicity, think of wind relative VMG as the boatspeed through the water
multiplied by the cosine of the apparent wind angle.
If you're sailing at 40 degrees to the wind at 6 knots, the wind relative VMG
is 6 * 0.766 or 4.6 knots. That is, you're making 4 knots dead upwind.
In
Awesome, I have no problems with getting out my calculator and doing some
cosines while coaching the crew, checking on sail trim, and holding on for

I think we are getting a bit overboard on this stuff. If the jib is luffing,
you are sailing too high! Or, on my less
