I forgot to mention that the line coming down from the grommet goes through a padeye on the bottom of the boom, slightly aft of the position where the grommet comes down to the boom when reefed,. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Sat, Jun 18, 2022 at 10:59 PM ALAN BERG

Run the reef line from the end of the boom sheave up through the grommet, down and under the boom, and tie a loop with a bowline around the line that is coming out of the boom end sheave. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Sat, Jun 18, 2022 at 3:55 PM David Knecht via Cn

I find that it helps if you tie the reefing line to the boom a bit aft from where the reef cringle ends up. This way, the reefing line pulls the reefed clew towards the aft end of the boom. Btw. It seems it is blowing everywhere (20 - 30 kt here). Marek 1994 C270 Legato Ottawa ON Sent from m

Touche's boom does not have the capability for internal lines or purchases. Touche' has a track on the starboard side of the boom which accommodates an adjustable reefing block. There is an eyestrap on the port side of the boom. The reefing line is run from the eyestrap up through the reefing cr

Dave,We rigged a block and tackle inside the boom then the tail out the boom to a cleat on the side of the boom  It gave the purchase needed to get the clew down and tight. Worked on the 29. Cheers,Hank Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Saturday, June 18, 2022, 6:56 PM, David Knecht via CnC-

Arlet likes Minwax, polyurethane, satin. Or glass. I used that inside . . Sea Fox, and it held up great for as long as I had it. I imagine it is still holding up great. Polyurethane is just fine inside, & it wears like iron. Bill Coleman On Sat, Jun 18, 2022, 14:10 Matthew via CnC-List wrote:

I have always found that tough to do as well, the initial tightening of the reefine. And sometimes, I still forget this, but once I just let the main sheet free, I let the boom go where it wants, I can just tighten up. The boom always ends up higher than you're used to, so I think there's a tenden

We raced today in a real blow and I was reminded to ask how others rig their reefing lines. I have a single reef point in my main and outhaul and reefing line both exit the pulleys on the end of the boom. When I want to reef, I have generally run the reefing line up to the cringe, down and aro

I've switched to awlwood.  It does not have the same yellowing tendency as varnish and it looks really great!   You can hot coat it after the primer is cured.  It is very expensive, however. DannyOn Jun 18, 2022 2:09 PM, Matthew via CnC-List wrote:Listers: I know this topic has bee

15 years ago I revarnished the interior with an exterior satin poly urethane. I did the trim with gloss. It has held up remarkably well. A key a good job is prep. Sand and wipe down well. Fred Hazzard S/V Fury C&C 44 Portland Or Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 18, 2022, at 11:36 AM, Barry McK

Try Pettit Sea Gold. Requires a sealer but the product itself is water based and dries in about 40 minutes. You could get the job done in one day. Barry McKee C&C 29 Mk I "Discovery II" From: Matthew via CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com] Sent: 18-Jun-22 2:10 PM To: 'Stus-List' Cc:

Listers: I know this topic has been covered before, so please forgive my ignorance. Although I don't ordinarily varnish my interior teak ply, I plan to do so around the companionway to protect against water. I'll likely use a satin finish. What type/brand of varnish would you
