Touche' had anodized alloy primaries (Barlow 28's), secondaries (Barlow 26's) and cabin top winches (Barient 22's). The bases for the secondaries are losing some of the anodizing. The alloy primaries had lost some teeth on the inside of the drum but had been repaired. Last year I replaced Touche

This sort of hit home with me. My wife was incubated as a baby in pure oxygen. This is a practice that was stopped when it was realized the damage it does to the eyes.

A bit late on this one, but just to add another plus (both my cataracts were corrected during the last 10 months). Cat’s Paw was already beautiful (to me) before the operation, and the sails were already close enough for me to see they were mostly badly trimmed. But for the first time in years

It turns out the wire was not connected to a power source! The wire was good. I have a terminal block for the instruments in the NavPod under the deck, so I cut the wire, added eye fittings and connected to the power supply for the GPS. I'm not worried about the power drain of 2 tiny LEDs. Joel

Jonathan, it sounds like you have a different setup to mine. Mine looks exactly like the shop drawings, so is original (maybe an option?). We have two spin halyards that exit slightly above the forestay with stainless 'pipes' each side. That makes it easy to douse either side as long as fored

Every boat is a little different but the Person 32 I race on has 3 masthead sheaves. We regularly lower on the opposite side of that which we raised. If you absolutely need to take down on the same side, you could try a maneuver called a "mexican". This is a takedown on the windward side. IIRC y

When you douse the spinnaker, do you let the pole forward to the headstay and then let the guy completely off? This should relieve all the pressure and now you can pull on the sheet to gather the foot and work with the bowman to relieve the halyard insync so as not to dump the sail in the water.

The rule on Touche' is always drop on the same side as the hoist, period! It's not hard even if you're on the opposite gybe than the hoist. Pop the jaw, lower the pole end, and haul the guy as you ease the sheet and halyard. The chute should slide around the forestay and across the foredeck. Pra

If your system has a diaphragm pump and expansion tank like mine it might be worth checking (ie:draining) the tank. Normally it would act a bit like a cushion and dampen vibration from the pump. When I changed the rubber diaphragm on my pump it was obvious how old and rigid the original diaphragm h
