I race with a 105, and cruise with a 135. With the 105, I run my sheets
through a fairlead a short distance aft of the shrouds, then through a
fairlead further aft, through a turning block and then to the forward
winch. With the 135, I run the sheets the same way but eliminate the
forward fairlead.
Hi Brent,I have looked at the speed pac before. It's pretty good.
I'm set up with about 12" of take this year, and I'm pointing pretty good.
I have a roller furling headsail, but race with a 155% tacked on the deck and
run up the furler. It's ok, I think a tuff luff would be better, but I'm no
Does anyone have a picture of a standard topping lift setup for a C&C 29-2?
Ours seems to have been modified at some point and I think the cheek block
is seeing too much strain with this setup. A link to a picture of the
setup is below.

Stu, can you ave the digest come from a noreply email address?
I wonder if your hosting site can do that.
This response was a copy and paste into a blank email.
I then copied the subject from the copy to the subject line.
Replying to the digest is too easy. And when you just want to respond and

Hey, this talk of winch lead angles has me pondering again the setup we
use on Secret Plans, I'm wondering what other 35-3 owners do. We
usually run the jib sheets on the secondaries (aft pair of winches)
because on the primaries the winch handle hits the dodger, and if we use
the secondaries
Hey everyone,
We've finally decided to post our C&C 34 up for sale. We've only had her 4
years but we've had some good times on her. Family grew a little more and
priorities have changed. My son's go-kart racing schedule has taken a lot
of time away from the boat. So it's time for some new owners t
I need a new strain relief for my Smartplug. Does anyone have a contact
number for the company, or a source for the strain relief?

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributi
I used my 100 in 7 knots of wind for the test. My sheets on this sail are old
7/16” yacht braid (I think) which are not as slippery as my newer softer lines
on my racing 3DL.
Since I’ve increased the sheeting angle on the higher drum I really didn’t
expect what is happening. But the suggesti
Brent,
Don't know what sail you flew for the trial but maybe try a smaller sail
with the jib lead/car moved way forward. That should decrease the angle of
entry. If the problem persists, it may not be the angle of entry.

After re-reading the original post and Dennis's reply it sounds like line
is hitting on the shoulder of the drum and has to first ride over. If I'm
imaging it correctly, too loose and the first wrap kinda never really makes
it to the drum before the second wrap starts overriding. What about
consi
I'm having trouble with this one.
For clarification, often overrides are due to a trimmer tailing the line
too low so one of the upper wraps rides over a wrap on the drum. Also,
overrides can be caused by too LITTLE angle of entry. Neither appears to
be the case here.
