Re: Stus-List SOS signals - LED light to replace flares?

Kevin is right. I get a UPV inspection from the USCG evey year and the inspector suggested I get one. I don't like the fact that the batteries can't be replaced. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Jun 14, 2016 11:12 PM, "Dennis C. via CnC-List" wrote:

I purchased my boat, a 1984 35Mk3 three years ago. The first season the boat would vibrate badly when I'd slow down under power. I'd put it in reverse, throw it into forward (ouch) and things would be fine. The blades always opened initially when I motored off the mooring but if I slowed down

Re: Stus-List Stupid Reefing Mistake

Those small cringles in the middle of the sail are for “bunt lines”, to take up the “bunt” or bag in the sail once it is reefed. As you pointed out, they are not reinforced so they are not reef points and should not be used to flatten the sail; they just keep the excess material from flapping

Re: Stus-List Stupid Reefing Mistake

I was told that you should use a clew strop (in addition to the reefing line). If the reefing line goes your sail would not rip. If you don’t believe me, you can look at some of the supermaxis; most of them use it. And if you want to make it easy, use some Velcro strap. Marek From: Indigo

Re: Stus-List Stupid Reefing Mistake

Fwiw - and I am sure others may have different opinions - I never use any lines through the reef points. Just the tack (hook) and clew (reefing lines) are used to hold the foot of the sail. That way never a chance to rip the sail or accidentally restrain the main sheet. Even with a second

Stus-List Stupid Reefing Mistake

Hi all, Just thought I'd share a dumb mistake I made in case anyone out there doesn't reef very often and might learn from it when the time comes. I went out on Sunday with a few friends in heavy air, with the main fully reefed to the second reef points. I don't keep lines in my reef points so
