Re: Asymetrical Spinnaker Rigging.
Good post Drew. Our rigging is similar although we attach the tack to a block which runs along the bridle line. This is the way our boat's PO taught us. I'm not sure it is better or worse.

Re: Water where it shouldn't be!
Hi Drew and Henry Thanks for the comments. Here is what we have determined: 1. A rag was stuck in the bow compartment drain hole. With the water we were taking over the bow I have little doubt that without a place for it to drain out, it could have accounted for the water by the through-hulls. 2. Th...

Water where it shouldn't be!
After a vigorous sail to windward yesterday, we found a significant amount of water where it shouldn't be. Our starboard bilge had about 4" of water in it. I am guessing (only guessing) that it has something to do with the shower sump. Any thoughts on this? Does the shower sump output have a 1-...

Re: Sailing without a motor
Not to hijack this thread but I wanted to comment on what Drew said about 2 engine failures. The only way I could see both engines dying at the same time would be a fuel related issue. Has anyone taken any steps to deal with that scenario? For example, a secondary fuel supply/filter.

Re: Masthead anchor light.
I should mention that the LED replacement bulb from Victory caused MAJOR interference with both our VHF and SSB radios. As such, we went back to the original bulb.mikeandrebecca wrote:

Re: Mast Winch Size
I'm not sure if that is standard or not though. I read one boat's specs that had 1x32 and 1x16. Our boat came with 2x32s installed and we added the 2x16s behind them.

Re: Pantry Space Options
We converted the hanging locker in the port berth to a "pantry." Not all of our food is stored there but much of the dry goods are.

Re: Dog House
I hate to say it, but I got them at West Marine. Our friend paid for it with his port supply card so they didn't cost EXTRA stupid amounts of money. They were about 12 bucks each I think. There was a similar fixture made for biminis that sold for 50 bucks each!!!
