Things I learned relocating winches: Winches need to be positioned so the heaviest loads, like jib and main halyards, align with the right side of the drum. You can reduce a lot of needless friction in these halyards sometimes by changing the lead to the clutch most directly aligned to the rig

I have a 33-2 and wondered this as well, and Bob- you’ve nailed the rope clutch/dodger space issue that is on my list as well…. (The winch handle not so big a deal for me) Dave 33-2 Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 28, 2021, at 6:21 AM, Bob Tallman via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > Good morning, >

Good morning,I will ask a different question.  Why are you moving the winches 12-18 inches from factory design?  Assuming to align with a different set of rope clutches or are you adding a canvas structure and need more swing room for the handle?I will tell you the one thing i miss about my 37+ was

I always use a cone shaped grinding stone to bevel the edges of deck penetrations. In a pinch, you can use a drill bit in reverse. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved. If you want to show your

It shouldn’t chip from the countersink bit. It’s just an easier way to mask right up to the edge of the hole. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 27, 2021, at 4:43 PM, Wade Glew via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > By mask over the top I'm guessing you're saying cover the hole with masking > tape then

By mask over the top I'm guessing you're saying cover the hole with masking tape then use the countersign bit? Does that prevent chipping? Wade On Fri, Aug 27, 2021, 13:53 Dave S via CnC-List, wrote: > 100%, + mask over the top before you countersink. If you have a small > syringe, you can i

Yes, if a bit structural  ( like I did, replaced Barient 6 bolts with Lewmar EVO 5 bolts ), put tape underneat, fill with clear/liquid epoxy w/slow hardener so the balsa absorb some, then suck epoxy from the hole and then fill holes with a mix of epoxy/silica ). Pretty strong.If not structural

100%, + mask over the top before you countersink. If you have a small syringe, you can inject the material which is a little bit easier. Dave On Fri, 27 Aug 2021 at 12:16, svrebeccaleah via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Counter sink top and bottom, tape over bottom of hole. Then

Unthickened epoxy will just drool out like syrup. You need some kind of filler plus colloidal silica, which makes it thixotropic. (won't sag or run) In theory, I suppose you could use unthickened epoxy but it'd be more work, not less in the end. It's not a structural application job so you hav
