Hi Len, You ask an excellent question, but Rob Ball let me know that he found out that they didn't start encapsulating a bar of aluminum below the genoa tracks until much later, so unfortunately I am stuck with tracks that are through-bolted without having holes in the head liner.  So, I'm stu

Bruce, I removed my headliner (cut, scraped...it was ugly and messy) at the point of installation, got to the underside of the deck, hrough bolted, and covered the whole thing with a strip of finished teak. Looks like it belongs there. David F. Risch, J. D. Gulf Stream Associates, LLC (401)

Our club has many of the mooring buoys that Ken Heaton mentioned deployed for free day and overnight use: http://www.taylormadeproducts.com/cgi-bin/catalog.pl?item_id=61. They are nice in that they do not present any metal to the boat. They work well but are a bit hard to use here as the club doe

I installed a jib track on Touche'. I covered the fasteners and headliner cut out with a varnished teak cover. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsaEhUREJ0LXRDUTg The piece of teak is hollowed out. It is held up by fasteners are tapped into the aluminum backing plate. Dennis C. Touch

Bruce, Instead of trying to figure out exactly where to drill holes, I’d do what they suggest — a rectangular cut-out to access everything. However, personally, I wouldn’t do a teak cover, but a smoke-white sheet of plexi with LEDs inside as better cabin lighting. Hmmm. All the best,

Stus-List Second Reef Point on 33 MKII

2019-03-22 Thread Lee Rosenbaum via CnC-List
I have a 33MKII and all my mainsails have a single reef point. I do have two reefing lines in my boom so I can accommodate a second reef and am thinking of having one installed. My questions are: 1. Do other 33MKII have as second reef? 2. Are they beneficial? 3. Where on the m

Not specific to 33 mkII but it is my experience that most slab reef points are equal distance from one another and the boom. About 1/4 of the height of the sail per slab. If you find that the boat is uncontrollable in heavy winds with the first reef then either a second reef or no mainsail at all

The subject of reef points was a topic when my sailmaker and I were discussing specs for my new mainsail two years ago. As I recall, he said it would be typical to install the reef points so the first reef reduced the mainsail area by about 25%, and the second reef point would reduce the original s

I would second what Rick said. You want dog-bones at the reef cringles, and they have to be the right length. Without them it might be really difficult to put the tack onto the reefing hook. There is nothing that says that the slabs need to be of equal length; so, the 2nd reef can be set as hig
