Re: F 36/38 Fuel tank wear - the final bill
Just got the final invoice for the work to replace the rotten quarter berth and the fuel tank. It was more than we anticipated, as it involved almost 200 hours of labor (you can figure out what your boat yard would cost for labor to get a rough idea). Parts totaled about $1,200. But here is the gist...

Re: Fuel tank wear
Here are pictures of the stripped out quarter berth. The water was invading the area through the radar mast, which had never been taped off when installed, so water was running down a couple of screw holes... Over the years, the damage was being done. So the latest: 1) when they replace the bulkhead...

Re: Fuel tank wear
Yeah - puts launching the boat back about 3 weeks. But with this weather, may not be an issue. Concordia in South Dartmouth (http://www.concordiaboats.com) is doing the work. They also added a sugar scoop last winter, which turned Tyche from a F36 to an F38. Really great work. Will try to get pictur...

F 36/38 Fuel tank wear
Went to replace the bottom of the quarter berth, which was finally showing its age and had split and was sagging. Once it was removed, the yard discovered there was additional rot further back along the engine room bulkhead where water had been dribbling down the pedestal guard and maybe down the ra...

Re: Fridge Monitor - Tempo Disc
Be interesting to hear if it works. Always good to know whether the beer is going to be cold when we get out to the boat and head into Buzzards Bay!

Re: using a drill for raising the main
We use a Milwaukee Winch Buddy system which we put together via Ebay. It has become an indispensable tool, not just for raising the sail, but hoisting people up the mast for necessary repair. And as on any boat, when hoisting someone up the mast is usually when the battery craps out! Usually get abo...

"Chimes" (?) out of Manchester, MA
Took this of "Chimes", a F36/38, #44, as she was cruising in Buzzards Bay on 8/10, heading to Cuttyhunk. It was nice to see our "sister", as Tyche is hull #46.

Re: Haarstick jib-top reacher
We've used the Jib top reacher a couple of times this spring. It is a great sail for when the wind is too light for the jib and you need something. We were out in about 8 kts of wind, and while flying the reacher, added about 2 kts to our speed, which was awesome. We were able to point higher than w...
