I hope Y'all don't mind if I continue this thread with updates... I just got back from 2 weeks on the boat. I find these trips to be a nice vacation from being retired. I got the new Balmar alternator installed and Hooray! The tachometer works again and the hour meter has resumed counting! The worst...

Hi Chris! And Happy Birthday! Thanks for the welcome and compliments. I've noticed it's a quiet board, but I'm OK with that because this has the most info regarding the 39 PH. I've posted a few things where I think it fits. I don't think about documenting a lot of the stuff I've been doing. Either I...

One of the jobs I had to tackle was getting the starboard sheave wheel for the cockpit helm under control. The clues were lots of brass glitter on the forward helm sheave wheel which is below it. I slacked off the control cable from the quadrant, unbolted the sheave and pulled the pin to get it out....

Seeing those voids makes me wonder how TPI made them. I know with CF aircraft parts, they get bagged and vacuumed to make sure there's no voids then cured in vacuum ovens.

The repair looks like it's going really well. Did you find a new section of track?

I don't think this is OE to the boat, but this is what's in mine. It took a little digging to find this.
Interestingly the inverter model name is Freedom.

Hi RadioZephyr! You posted about the same time as me! Nice photo! If it's the same boat, the hatch over the piltohouse helm has been removed. I'll have to check and see if I can find any evidence next time I'm out there. I called Paul and talked to him after I bought the boat. I was fishing for some...

Wow tough crowd! 50+ views and no replies lol. I promise I'll try to be more of an asset than a liability. HIN TSP39002M82F I'll be honest - the boat seemed to be being used as a liveaboard for some time and had a LOT of deferred maintenance. But the sails look to be almost new, so I don't know if t...

OK, a little background before we get to the meat of the subject: I recently bought this bought this boat in the beginning of November. It's been re-powered with a Yanmar 4JH5E. The hour meter shows 577 hours on it, but I've never seen it advance or seen the tachometer work. The engine logs say the ...

Howdy! I know what you're thinking, "The 39PH didn't come out until 1983." and you're right. Except the one I bought is hull number 002. I don't know if it was a prototype, or one that was used for the press at the time, but I do know it's definitely been through some changes during its history. Cur...
