Martin Great to connect with you! (Hull #1, eh?) Yes, our custom C 43' is X Dimension. We call her XD. Here is more about her: http://sailing.mit.edu/bluewater. She sails like a dream! I love that boat. It will be fantastic to get the C 43' drawings from you. I'll email you separately about that.

Re: Stus-List Spinnaker (not dented pole...) related.

Regardless of how it used to run, you might consider how I run the pole downhaul on Touche'. Warning, it ain't cheap. I use a single block with snap shackle to attach to the bridle ring. The doubled line then runs down to a double block with carabiner that clips to a Wichard fold down pad eye

Re: Stus-List Spinnaker (not dented pole...) related.

My 1995 XL has a port and starboard set of bullseyes for a double ended downhaul that can be secured on both sides of the cockpit. The bullseye tracks end in a cam cleat at the end of the cabin top and run about 1/2 way up the cabin sides to a double block forward under the pole that

Re: Stus-List Thinking of a Wheel to Tiller Conversion

Agreed re single handing 33-2: move the primary winches to the aft pads and use self-tailing winches. I found them to be the perfect spot and you can get a lot of leverage as you are standing over the winch rather than kneeling on the seat. Was very easy to single-hand the boat. Bob

So, I have a request out to any spinnaker-rigged 37 and 35 MKIII (similar deck layout I suspect…) owners about how their pole downhaul line is routed. I am in the process of masking and taping the boat which involves laying out the gloss/non-gloss areas. On my boat I have the pole downhaul

Re: Stus-List spinnaker pole repair and refurb

Dave, I’d be very wary of any dent fix solution that doesn’t involve a sleeve. Even better, simply buy a length of aluminum tube of the same dimensions, cut it to length and add all the existing hardware. I don’t have any numbers but I have to believe it will be cheaper than having someone try
