Have an original equipment Barient 27 two speed self tailer winch on my 35-3
which allows the genoa sheet to slip under load, even when there are three
wraps on the winch. The self tailer does not hold the line in a predictable
fashion, releasing at the most inconvenient times., Is this a
What line did you use? When I switched my jib sheets from StaSet to VPC, I
noticed more slippage and needed to add an extra wrap (non-self tailers).
As the line was used more, the slippage began to lessen and I could use a
wrap less. Perhaps take the lines to a commercial coin laundry and wash

I have a CC 33mk1 (1976) and have a couple of very nice sails I can
part with, if you are still interested. The measurements are very close
between the 33 and 34.
Both the (symmetrical) spinnaker and 155 have inspected by Quantum this

Have you tightened the screws on the self tailer?

Joel - If you plan to reuse the stainless your old bimini is a pattern
that any local canvas shop can duplicate with minimal effort. I'd look
at cost of materials and a day's labor, plus overhead.

So here is a question for the electrical engineers regarding ABYC specs and
wire gauges
If I have a 25watt bulb at the top of my mast and I want to follow the 3%
voltage drop rule I need to allow for 140' of run so about a 6 gauge wire.
That is huge.
My question is have I misinterpreted the
The Blue Seas calculator says for the voltage drop you need 10 gauge, which
has an amp capacity of 40! For the amperage you need ABYC says 18 gauge, so
somewhere in between is where I'd be.

3% drop is 0.36 volts based on 12.0V average over the battery discharge

25 watts will draw 2.1 amps of current (think about getting an LED
