I am concerned about connecting a gauge directly to the engine for fear
that the vibration could cause a catastrophic failure of the gauge or
connection and a loss of oil pressure.

As I recall the proper tee doesn't exist. It would be simple enough for a
machinist to manufacture though. That was my plan. Once you get it to
1/8" NPT you can do anything with it.

A friend who has circumnavigated several times has rerigged his 39’ steel
cutter with Dyneema for the shrouds.
Very strong, light, straightforward to splice. Definitely DIY. And having extra
material aboard to make emergency replacements for rigging is very easy. I

First, I checked out Mike's link and Persistence is a sharp looking boat.
I'm partial to the color as Patriot is also dark blue with a red boot stripe
and gold cove stripe. Patriot also caught a line around the shaft resulting
in multiple B.O.A.T. units to straighten the strut and replace the shaf

Back from taping and masking the deck. No-one told my how much time this will
take. Yeesh.
What Chuck said. I did some fun what-ifs on non-steel standing rigging and
pretty much came to the same conclusion. Not really appropriate for a 34-year
old cruiser.
I am going to be replacing all
But it’s like comparing a sporty drive on a winding mountain road in a nice
roadster to an F1 race. Kind of the same, but not really.

That is a fine looking boat you have there Rob. It must be tough to part with
her. If she weren't so salty, I would consider her as I am looking for
something with a shallower draft.

I'm trying to sell her myself
Not sure if I'm doing the right thing but I've listed my pride and joy with
a broker. I'm hoping to move up to a larger boat that is as well built,
reliable and fast

Seeing as how synthetic rope lifelines got banned due to being sawed apart by
chafe, I think I would stick with stainless steel. YMMV.

Tom,
As a person in the rope business, the information included in the attached
article is spot on, but he neglects to include the most commonly used fiber for
standing rigging: PBO aka Zylon. Zylon has virtually no creep and is
extremely strong and light. However, Inherent in PBO rigging i
Any thoughts on going to Dyneema for standing rigging?

Rick,
Thanks for the info. As far as those tang (toggles?) fittings that were used on
our rigs, it was explained to me that they were a cause of rig failures. The
caps were designed to move in tandem with the rod but given that they were a
combination of stainless steel and aluminum they quickl
Also you could install an oil pressure gauge so you know what the pressure
