Hard to believe - but we have arrived at the 7 month mark before departing on retirement cruising. Just glass-blasted off VC17 bottom paint and preparing for new barrier coat and salt water paint. Also a ton of upgrades under way (air conditioning, power generating sources, lighting, instruments, Sa...

I have purchased a similar looking piece of hardware in smaller size from West Marine as hold-open for Nav desk on our F38. I'm sure they could order in heavier size or supply you with the name of the manufacturer.

I installed Tides track a couple years ago - very happy with it!

Hey Dale, Furler has been great success. We continue to refine the cover. When the loft first cut it, they made the diameter too wide (based on the diameter of the rolled sail in the loft) . In a breeze, it acted like a flag, whipping back and forth. Now that the sail is on the boat and furled with ...

I'm thinking the flexible furler might be an option. We elected to put a flat cut asymmetrical on ours, but it could easily be used with code 0, code 1, screecher or genoa. Not sure about lazy jacks for jib. Our camber spar jib did not fall very easily and I typically ended up going to fore deck to ...

I was wondering if anyone is using a Fortress anchor on their boat? I tried to fit a Fortress FX 23 on the bow of our F38, and there was no any to securely fit it to the bow roller assembly.
Thank you,
Bob

Oops, missed one.

Continuing to enjoy sail. Wishing it was a bit flatter. Can sail around 60 degrees apparent - would like to be able to point a little higher. Have attached pictures of furled sail (quite compact), furling gear, port winch, furler cam cleat, and swivel block at corner. We are having some difficulties...

I'll be at the boat, end of this week and will take pictures of the cover and sheeting gear. General response to your questions, I snap shackled cheek blocks on toe rail just forward of stern pulpit. Starboard sheet is then led to the existing outboard winch under the dodger. I did same set up on po...

Well, the day finally came - installed our asymmetric on a Seldon GX 10 TD furler. Easy to roll out, easy to furl and adds some nice horse power. Same set up could be used with code 1 or code 0. I forgot to take picture of sunbrella pull-up cover.
Here are the pictures of the set up.
