I think he means “Bail”.
Why are nautical terms NEVER in spell checkers?

A preventer is intended to prevent the boom from moving in an accidental
gybe - hence the name.
If you are doing a controlled gybe, the process is to release the preventer,
use the mainsheet to pull the boom back on center, then gybe, then ease the
mainsheet, then reset the preventer on the other

You should be very glad that you had the preventer on.
I was at the C&C Owner's Regatta at NYC in 2001, on the Sunday a cold front

trimaran during the Mac race).
The winds had died down some by race time so we d
I changed the OEM head to a Jabsco head on my 29-2 about 2 years ago.
My 29-2 is hull 693 / 1985 built in the US plant.
The old head was secured to the platform with stainless steel lag bolts
about 1.5 inches long.
To make the Jabsco unit fit / function properly, the following was
necessary.

Are your there starter switches momentary switches that are all attached to the
same relay for starting and stopping?

On many of our old boats the track for the main sheet traveler is the same
as the t-track for the genoa car. So the track should be strong enough.
If you think about the forces generated by a 155 genoa are much higher than
those from a much smaller mainsail. In addition

I am no expert on this but if your block on a genoa track can handle a

there should be no jolt in the preventer..just the pressure on it as

A little baring of the soul here. It was years ago before I knew as much

Let me clarify that. Given the solid hull construction (non-cored) and the
condition of the gelcoat and hull, the barrier coat was probably not
necessary. Touche' did not have

If you are connecting the boom to a block on the genoa track as a

If the terminals on your starter solenoid are easily accessible a hand held
switch like this with a couple of alligator clips and a few feet of wire
would work well.

Sometimes it is desirable to be able to have a starter switch inside when
working on my motor.
How have people on this list accomplished this? Is it a temporary or permanent
solution?

Where do you guys hook the preventer on the deck end with boats not having a

it seems like a lot of load for such a track.

Hi Andrew,
I think you should tell that novice crew member,

top of the sail, ease the mainsheet and then,
Wrap that red line three times clockwise around
that winch and crank until I tell you to stop."
