Some people thicken the line where it passes through the clutch in one of two
ways. If the core is hollow, it's easy to pull a short length of small diameter
line into it. If the core is solid, it's a little harder to can add a cover.
The jib halyard clutch area is small if all of your sails are
My 1989 37+ has lewmar triples. The design hasn't changed much so find a
picture on google and see if you can remember well enough what yours look
like. Mine have no trouble with 5/16ths up to 1/2 inch.

Replacing the original 7/16 halyards on our 1985 C&C 33 MKII. Got a GOOD price
on some 3/8 Warpspeed from W.M. Does anyone know what brand/size of halyard
clutches C&C used in '85? There is a set of double Schaefer clutches mounted
outboard of the original triples, either side of the companionw

often.
However, we have figured out how to get the 38MKII to rate
Don't the rules call for the inboard end of the whisker pole to be attached
at the mast?

The three local RC's I race with have no specific rules about whisker poles,
thus rely on PHRF definition which says it cannot be longer than J without
penalty. An adjustable pole must be marked at J.

PHRF is inherently unfair. Some boats are relatively better in some conditions
than others. My boat, for example, will sail consistently better than it's

between spi and non spi boats is 20 seconds per mile. Forget abo
Rick,
I am no expert, but talking with Lake Michigan PHRF folks in past as Regatta
Chair at our yacht club I am certain others have given good advice: it can't be
done fairly. Wind angle, speed course length etc etc all impact. It is hard
enough over 12 race season to feel like phrf is fair
Unfortunately we're limited to J. It's OK for DDW, but doesn't allow much
reaching up in the lighter airs. Allowing 80% of the genoa's LP, as someone
mentioned earlier as the most efficient pole length, would be better. If I did
my math right, that translates to a pole length of 124% of J for
Ron, Gary, Rick,
Curious. Does your RC allow adjustable whisker poles longer than J length to be
used during a race in your areas?

Hi Rick:
I claim advantage since I also have a 38MKII, '77 vintage.
You could check the NEPHRF.org website to see if your current handicaps are
close for the boats racing.if you have boats that are not registered,
you could assign a rating comparable with the list found there.
How
Rick, you probably have seen some of my earlier postings from earlier debates.
We have two small fleets around St. Michaels. Our Herring Island Sailing Fleet
uses a 15% rating adjustment for non spinnaker boats, with a 7.5% adjustment if
the boat has a cruising spinnaker (gennaker?) tacked to th
Hi Kevin - I had the same problem with the Barient primaries on my 30 MK1.
It would have cost $75 each to have then done at a shop and it would have
taken weeks. So I chose the cheap alternative and it worked like a charm.
I used a sharp nail punch and lightly punched a bunch of indentations in a
If DDW is 180 then by extending the pole and moving the clew forward while
keeping the leach tight, depending on wind strength, I can sometimes get to 150

This is what we do at our club, Tiburon YC on San Francisco Bay. We take
the PHRF rating and if the boat is sailing non-spinnaker we add 18 seconds
per mile to the PHRF rating. We have done this for over 15 years ago and
it seems to work in our mixed fleets.
