Echoing Neil’s comments about North – at least in recent years -- not only was
the NorDac main on my boat less than stellar, another boat in my local fleet
had a similar issue (North ended up replacing the main on that boat) and my
next door neighbor (cruiser) had an issue with his NorDac genoa.
FYI, I have dealt with both Doyle and North, and I prefer Doyle. The best rag
on my boat is a Doyle 153% genoa (not dacron, however).

I’m not an engineer, but my guess is that stainless will work fine and likely
stand up to salt water better than aluminum. The chainplates on my 42 are
stainless. Although there is something to be said for direct replacements that
fit exactly the same as the parts being replaced, I’m not sure
I agree. I’ve noticed that if someone sits in the way back of the cockpit of
my boat near the Sirius antenna, this will interfere with the signal. Whether
a bimini will cause the same issue will depend on the nature of the overhead
obstruction (pole or cloth), I suppose. It should be relative
Motor sailing as you described should not present any issues.

Ronco makes a direct replacement. I have an extra one from my 34 but
the fittings were slightly off (so I had them send a replacement). I kept
it because I couldn't bring myself to throwing out a brand new tank. If
you're willing to adjust the holes in your bulkhead a small amount,
While we’re on this topic, what is the best way to determine the correct
“reference” heading for adjusting compasses? GPS? Paper charts?

FWIW, I stopped using my topping lift because it’s a nuisance when sailing.
Instead, I use the boom vang when raising, lowering the sail. When the sail is
not being used, I use the main halyard as my “topping lift” to raise the boom
to get it out of way. I just run it to the end of the boom,
Hmmm. My Nexus fluxgate compass is also about the same amount off my normal
compass. I had to remove the transducer temporarily for the core repair work
that we did, so I assumed that I messed something up which needs to be
recalibrated. Very curious that you are having a similar issue.

Different PHRF organizations in different parts of the country assign ratings
based on performance (the P in PHRF). If the boat does better in heavy
weather, for example, its racing results will be better in regions where there
is more wind (and thus a lower base rating). If it’s a light air b
