It?s been completely bulletproof and I like that it doesn?t require any electricity. With a mechanical advantage of 7:1, it?s not a struggle to raise and lower the motor and I like the ability to partially raise and lower the motor. When motorsailing on starboard tack, it?s helpful to be able to raise the motor mount to keep the power head out of the water. On port tack, you need to be able to fully lower the motor in order to keep the prop in the water.

You should be able to find it if you go to the archives for September 2020, list by thread, and look for the thread with the subject "Converting Electric Winch Motor Lift to a Manual System". I think this link will take you there, or at least get you close: http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/2020-September/ Bottom line is that it can be done, and has been done by a few people, including me. The winch to manual lift conversion doesn't apparently work quite as well as the system that Stan designed as a manual lift from get-go, but it works well enough, and I've never considered going back. --Peter > On 2021-10-03, at 16:29:43 EDT, Jeff Smith Photo wrote: > > The winch crapped out leaving the motor in the up position which allowed us > practice sailing up to the launch ramp dock.

My OPINION... As easy as it is to hit a button, it's not as quick as the manuals I have seen.to lower the motor. Ymmv on maintenance. My power winch does work well, and is used fairly often. Leaving the slip out the channel usually, and some "let's get back" moments means I am raising and lowering up to 2-4 times per sail. If there was a critique the 8hp 4 stroke sometimes "bounces" in the track as slack comes. Seems like a slight binding on the track. Maybe it was originally a lighter OB in 2011, not a big deal. Maybe the manual would be smoother? As an aside, Spiders suck (what do y'all do about dock spiders?)

I bought a couple of them just in case and when the motor hoist failed, attempted to replace at least one. I'm getting too old to cram myself into the lazarette. It caused (?) syatica for the first time in 40 years after back surgery in 1980. But in looking for manual solutions in the archives and records. (Thanks Peter!) I didn't find a clear cut solution. I had always thought the tackle would have to be attached to the stern pulpit or to the split back stays to have a more verticle pull. So considering the cost of new blocks for the tackle, $200.00 or so. I will probably opt for a new electric winch, switch etc. That is also what my wife and sailing partner wants... Now all I need is to find a young small mechanic!

What does hull thickness have to do with mounting a bilge pump in the laz? Maybe I misunderstand your question. The hull thickness where the cockpit drain goes through the hull is around ?" thick. You could pull that through hull fitting to verify. The only time I have ever had any water in the laz is on the trailer with the bow elevated and the cockpit seat drains clogged, over running into the laz. Otherwise, at normal level rest in the water or on the trailer, the water drains into the cabin bilge through and/or under the cockpit foam flotation. On most boats, there is no bulkhead sealing off the forward end of the laz. I raised that question in the last year or so.

The plywood pad should be totally encapsulated in the epoxy so that it doesn't rot. The advantage of using the plywood is that you can remove the pump by removing the screws. It might not be possible to remove the pump without destroying it if you use 5200 directly. The disadvantage of using a plywood pad is that the pump will be off the hull by the thickness of the plywood and therefore not drain as well.

It is a durable plastic alternative to velcro and it works in wet environments. It's powerful enough to keep things put but you can still detach when needed. I used that to secure a battery power water alarm in the bilge and another one in the lazarette. The alarm is the kind that you could use above a sump pump in a house basement. My boat has a dry bilge and lazarette so I'd like to know right away if that changes. Also, the alarm is loud enough so if there was a problem with the boat as it sits at the slip, any of my slip neighbors would hear and they know how to get into my boat if needed. My boat already had a bilge pump installed by the prior owner. I'm not entirely sure how it's attached underneath. It's output hooks into the sink drain discharge.

I?ve used the kind of trailer your dock builder is proposing for a Hunter 26. It was an exercise in nail biting both getting the boat on and off the trailer and it required several helpers to line the hull up. For me, the style of cradle with the long flexible boards would be nonnegotiable and I?d tell the guy to take a hike if he won?t do it. You?d be surprised what people will do when you won?t budge. As far as your keel depth, I recommend you take a measurement on the trailing edge. The hull is pretty flat there and the keel tapers down to a fine edge.

And we don't have access to the plans Triad sent you. But going from the trailer sketches in the archives; which were taken from a Triad trailer, if the four uprights are positioned correctly in the x plane, are the proper height, and have the correct bracket angles, the only other measurement needed is the drop of the crossmember that holds the roller (which would likely be a horizontal carpeted board on your cradle). The trailer sketches show a 4" drop IIRC. So adding this 4" to each upright length should get you there. I can try to get you the keelson vertical height measurements from my 1984 tomorrow. I also have an old Triad trailer in the weeds out at the back of my property. If you need me to take any measurements of that trailer too, let me know. Todd T.

Where it flattens out going back to the rear corner is about 64". At the forward end, it starts out at about 10" and gradually tapers lower to about 12-1/4" at the rear. (on my 1984) Todd T. P.S. the 11" was probably not taken in the exact center of the 64" length.

He is rarely wrong. To spend so much fixing up your lovely waterfront FL retreat only to end up with a costly lift you can't sail onto / never.? Worse, not good for the boat.? Think of a foxy lady stepping on your foot with her high heel.? Suppose your board had a good reason for not making it fully up when you thought it was.? You would find it next time you were set to go for a sail, partly in your cabin and the cabin loaded with salt water.? You would find that the normal weight of the boat plus the weight of water taken on, all now supported by only the small area of the short, narrow keel bottom, has distorted your interior enough so the head door will not open.? When it comes to the Rhodes, beware of experts.? They can do more damage than you can imagine.? But try:? They have raised pop tops, bow end first and then told the owner we sold them a defective system when they find the aft end frozen down.? They have lowered masts without first disengaging the pop top slider. Ouch.? Don't let them tell you the Rhodes needs a full deep keel type of lift. You and I will both be sorry. stan ?On 10/8/21 6:44 PM, ROGER PIHLAJA wrote: > Peter, > > I?d find a different dock builder.

I still have it on my phone and the speed part is the best app I have found. It used to also track my trip and allow me to download a map of where I went, but that doesn't work anymore now that the app is discontinued. It also shows the time lapsed, average speed and announces those things at any time interval you choose. Sure wish the app was still current. I mount my phone to the starboard side support of the pop-top with a holder made for using your phone on a bike. That also allows me to plug my phone into the 12 volt outlet in the cabin, otherwise using gps continuously runs the battery down in a hurry. The app also has a "Jumbo view" that makes it easy to read from the tiller.

Another app that I like that is free (10/year for the premium version) is SailFreeGps. It is a very complete navigation program but with large and very legible characters. All the other navigation programs that I have tried are expensive given the miniscule amount of "navigation" I actually engage in.

I think it's a good value for the amount of information. It's nice to have a consistent navigation app to take with when chartering, since chart plotters can vary widely, and it's also good to have multiple sources of information in addition to chart books / paper charts. To avoid draining my cell battery for a nav app, I primarily use the app on an iPod touch enclosed in a waterproof case that is bluetooth paired to a Bad Elf GPS, and then I attach the iPod to my forearm with a fitness arm band so it's always available and I don't have to worry about dropping it. When I look back at a track over a day, I've noticed that my top speed on Navionics tends to be higher than seems practical (on my R22 as well as other boats). Do you find this to be the case?

When the rain water fills up the drain channels in the cockpit seats, the water can overflow into the lazarette. Depending on the fore/aft trim of the boat, the rain water can also overflow the drain channels at the companionway hatch and get into the cabin and the bilge. It?s very important to check the cockpit seat drains frequently and keep them clear. I have had water get into in the lazarette when we buried the leeward gunnel, got some water in the cockpit, and tacked before all the water had drained out. When we came about, the water sloshed over the lazarette hatch cover and some got into the compartment. You can also get some leakage into the lazarette if you get pooped by a wave from the stern. I?ve never had enough leakage to make me want to install a bilge pump in the lazarette.

The year I bought it, I learned to race on it and always came in last. I know it?s not a racing boat, but I bought it to do camping with my wife - for cruising and camping under the stars with the cockpit bed, it can?t be beat. This year, I raced almost every Wednesday and Sunday. We have a fair number of boats in Oklahoma City, but there is usually only 12-15 boats that race Wednesday and maybe 6-8 Sunday. I have the only R22, and the only boat I can beat is the Catalina 22 (without factoring in PHRF - just raw time). There is usually quite a gap between my R22 and the boat in front, which is often a Capri 22. I?ve TLE?d more than I want to admit. Without buying a second boat, is there anything I can do to be more competitive? I did a bottom job after I bought it and used 4 coats of epoxy and then used ablative (not the best choice for racing, but I did ask around the club for advice before going this route), but I?m not about to redo that. I may have to grin and bear it. The boat does have the IMF. One thing I?ve battled a lot is the headsail when it?s furled - it?s baggy around the middle section, and the rear stays are taut. I try to keep it unfurled as much as I can, but the wind here is often too gusty. 18-20 mph with gusts around 30. Is it possible, given these parameters to knock 20+ seconds off the PHRF?

I reef the sails a lot to prevent being over powered, but I?ve noticed my R22 points about 10-12 degrees off of where it normally would with the sails completely unfurled. I?ve made about every trim adjustment I can think of, but going upwind is very challenging. I should add that I?m solo 1/2 the time. The boat will do 4 knots upwind and 6.5+ broad reach, but the extra distance kills the time. I?m planning on replacing the starboard rudder head with stainless or aluminum this winter as I can feel a lot of flex, and I?m sure that is part of the problem. Is there anything else that can be done to improve pointing in higher winds?

I use a twist lock fiberglass pole from the hardware store with a boat hook fitting on one end, which fits in the clew and a ss spring clamp to a padeye on the mast. Rail meat. More is better. Make sure the IMF is factored in your PHRF rating. Here it is 6 seconds a mile. Find crew who is an experienced racer who can help with wind shifts and rules at the mark. Good Luck!

I believe the jib is a 155, and I can?t pull it tight - the clew hits the winch. I?ll look into a 130. Check on the whisker pole. I recently purchased one but haven?t installed the padeye yet. I asked our PHRF committee if they took the IMF and furling jib into account, and they said they did. My boat is rated at 258 on the lake. Regarding experienced crew, I often times had someone lined up to crew, but he wasn?t the most reliable. I think he didn?t shoe more than he showed. I didn?t race with my daughter and son-in-law a few times, and that was great. Thanks for the input. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 12, 2021, at 5:52 AM, Stephen Staum wrote: > > ?Ditto on the 130.

On Allatoona Lake here in Georgia we rarely see as much as 10 knots of wind and often have to cancel races due to lack of sufficient wind. I once had a family of ducks swimming laps around my boat during a ?race?! That said, do you put your IMF main in the lower position when the wind is up? That will lower the center of effort and help the boat sail flatter.

I also don't pay much attention to my speed if I'm going downwind although I do use wing-on-wing and a whisker pole and raise the centerboard. I spend most of my time trying to go faster into the wind. I look at the knot meter and then make small adjustments to try to gain speed. Jeff"s advice about real meat is extremely important. Only so much you can do if single handling. Usually I start losing speed if heeling more than 25 degrees. Always depends on the wind, point-of-sail, current, adjustments, wife's mood. etc. Stan says if the wind is more than 28 knots it's time to unfurl the iron genny, but he's a better sailor than I. If the wind is above 20 knots I can't make any headway. If you search the archives under Lee and spreadsheet you'll find a post about sailing 3.5 knots at 40 degrees into the wind in heavy chop. Wasn't much headsail in use. I love the 175 Genoa but I don't believe it helps much with speed unless you're headed downwind with a whisker pole. On a reach it takes 3 knots of wind to inflate the monster and starts to slow you down in a 5 knot wind. But she sure is pretty. And how many boats do you see flying a headsail twice the size of their main? Few will agree but the owner of J-Boats will confirm. You can go a little faster into the wind in certain conditions if you raise the centerboard. The keel alone will produce enough lift and you'll have less drag. You won"t make as much headway but you may not need to. Good luck!

The shape of the wetted surface of the hull becomes very asymmetric as the angle of heel increases. Without going into the physics, this asymmetry tends to increase weather helm. It also adds lots more drag with relatively little increase in lift to windward. So, the hot setup is to sail as upright as possible. Note, because of the tendency to increase weather helm as the boat heels over, it is desirable to have as much sail area as possible in the genoa. This strategy keeps the center of effort (Ce) of the sailplan ahead of the center of lateral resistance (Cr) of the hull. Adjust your IMF mainsail area to balance the helm while keeping the genoa area as big as possible for the conditions. Use your genoa track lead position and backstay tension adjuster to adjust the shape of the genoa for the conditions. Be ready to dump the mainsail first in gusts, followed by the genoa if necessary to keep the boat on her lines. I like to dump the traveler to leeward; but, some people prefer to use the mainsheet. My experience is the traveler responds faster and keeps the mainsail shape closer to optimum. After the gust has past, the traveler allows you to trim the mainsail back in and working faster than the mainsheet. If the traveler doesn?t dump enough wind; then, you can dump some genoa sheet. The OEM standard roller furler doesn?t keep a good sail shape beyond the 1st few turns of the furling drum. It loses luff tension and the point of maximum draft in the genoa moves too far aft. This is true even if you move the genoa sheet lead position forward on the track. ( As you should ) The resulting poor sail shape will dramatically affect your ability to point to windward. It also narrows the ?groove? - the angle of attack between luffing and stalling the genoa, thus making the helmsman?s job more difficult. Therefore, you want to fly a genoa that is matched to your conditions. That way, you will be able to fly it fully unfurled most of the time. For your conditions, it sounds like the 130% genoa is the best compromise. You need a slight bow down trim because the hull?s wetted surface aft of the fixed keel will start to act like a set of landing flaps on an airplane. There is so much wetted surface back there; that, the resulting drag is huge. A slight bow down trim allows the flow to smoothly exit the stern with minimal drag. However, be careful with too much bow down trim because you still need enough floatation and freeboard in the bow to be able to punch thru waves. If the bow should happen to submarine; then, you?ve set yourself up to pitch pole. That?s nearly always the start of a bad day on the water! There is also some adjustment possible in the fore/aft rake angle of the mast. Increasing the rake angle aft increases weather helm. Since we are trying to decrease weather helm, we want to adjust the mast rake angle to give neutral helm or even a slight lee helm under light air. Note, that this will make the boat?s steering less intuitive for a novice helmsman. But, we are talking about a racing setup here and presumably an experienced helmsman. Between the mast rake angle and the genoa/mainsail area distribution, you want the boat to have virtually no tendency to round up until the leeward rail is in the water. This will keep you climbing to windward as much as possible. Note that these adjustments are counter to conventional sail rig tuning wisdom. But, like Stan always says, ?When it comes to the Rhodes 22, it pays to not listen to the experts!? If they have assigned you a PHRF rating of => ~260 sec/nm, your bottom is clean, the rig is adjusted properly, and your sails are in good condition; then, your poor results are on you, not the boat.

When sailing on a close reach I typically balance the main and Genoa so the helm is pretty neutral, but I've found that I can sometimes go faster if I put out more Genoa which gives the boat lee helm. Does that make sense? On boats other than the Rhodes, can't you sail closest to the wind when your sheets are pulled as tight as possible? To have the angle of attack hit both sails evenly on our boats, wouldn't you need to run the Genoa sheets between the mast and inside shroud? Thanks.

If the genoa is greater than 100%; then, it must go outside of the spreader. This means the sheets run outside of the lifelines. The maximum you can trim the sail is such that the windward side of the sail is just off the tip of the spreader. You don?t want to trim it in any tighter because the spreader tip will damage the sail in pretty short order. That?s where the term ?close hauled? come from ? you have hauled or trimmed the sail as close to the spreader tip as you dare. If the genoa is < 100%; then you would switch to the inboard genoa tracks that run along the side decks. Now the foresail can be trimmed in tighter, with the limit usually being rubbing up against the forward lower sidestay. On a beat or a close reach, the genoa usually operates in cleaner, faster air vs the mainsail. Since the thrust generated by a sail goes up as the [wind speed]^2, think of your genoa as the primary engine. That?s why your boat went a little faster when you put out more genoa. Despite the name, the mainsail?s primary function is to balance the sailplan so the helm is close to neutral or even with a little lee helm. The Rhodes 22 is unusual among production boats in that it is possible to adjust the feel of the helm from lee to neutral to weather. Most boats have built-in weather helm because it is thought to be safer and you are stuck with it. Because of the slot effect, it is not desirable to run the genoa and the mainsail at the same angle of attack vs the wind. In general, you want to establish your course 1st, then trim the genoa, and finally the mainsail. The optimum mainsail trim will include slot effect interactions from the genoa.

When sailing on a close reach I typically balance the main and Genoa so the helm is pretty neutral, but I've found that I can sometimes go faster if I put out more Genoa which gives the boat lee helm. Does that make sense? On boats other than the Rhodes, can't you sail closest to the wind when your sheets are pulled as tight as possible? To have the angle of attack hit both sails evenly on our boats, wouldn't you need to run the Genoa sheets between the mast and inside shroud? Thanks.

You have obviously got the helm balanced as the boat is steering herself! 2. The control lines for your traveler should not be coiled up around the traveler bar whenever you are flying the mainsail. The picture illustrates one way to stow them; but, they are not ready to use. If you need to quickly dump the mainsail, you have no choice but to use the mainsheet. I don?t know what point of sail you were on. But, if it was close hauled or a close reach, you would find the boat would go faster if you pulled the traveler to windward and then adjusted the mainsheet such that the aft end of the boom was just to leeward of the centerline. Given the rise on the boom, it doesn?t look like your boat has a boom vang or you had it slacked off. If you have a boom vang, it needed to be trimmed down tight until you set the traveler and mainsheet. Then, you would slowly slack off the boom vang until you had the desired amount of twist in the upper mainsail.

If you are going to do this upgrade, get a roller furler that has the following features: 1. An aerodynamically shaped headfoil with twin luff grooves. 2. Independent upper and lower swivels 3. A low profile lower swivel assembly that doesn?t use up a lot of headsail luff length 4. Extensive use of Torlon ball &/or roller bearings throughout 5. An enclosed furling drum with a good fairlead to prevent furling control line snarls 6. Either an extruded, 1-piece, flexible, polymer headfoil or an extruded aluminum headfoil with individual, replaceable sections in case you damage one Besides, the Harken roller furlers, there are many other quality units on the market that fulfill all these requirements. I replaced my headstay as part of this project. The Haken unit has been completely bulletproof and still spins as easily as a bicycle tire! All the maintenance that?s required is an annual freshwater rinse for the bearings and the weekly anti spider flush on the furling drum. Why do spiders like to build nests inside the furling drum? Once you?ve installed the upgraded roller furler, you?re going to need a new headsail to take advantage of it. Your new headsail should be: 1. Made of a composite material vs. dacron. S/V Dynamic Equilibrium?s 150% genoa is made of Bainbridge?s Cruise-Lam composite sailcloth. Cruise-Lam sailcloth is a 5 layer composite consisting of outer skins of dacron for abrasion, UV, and flogging resistance, Kevlar scrims (think mesh), and an inner core of mylar. It?s been completely bulletproof and the sail shape still looks great! 2. Constructed with Bi-Radial or Tri-Radial panel layout. S/V Dynamic Equiibrium?s 150% genoa is made with Bi-Radial panel layout. But, with improvements in CAD assisted panel layout in the time since I purchased mine, I would probably opt for a Tri-Radial panel layout if I purchased it today. 3. Either have UV protective acrylic panels ( i.e. Sunbrella) sewn into the foot and luff or use a UV protective Sunbrella sleeve that is hauled up the furled headsail using an extra halyard when you are not using it. Since S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is rigged to fly a tri-radial spinnaker and has the spare halyard, my boat has the protective sleeve. I think the protective sleeve does a better job of protecting the head of the furled sail and the upper swivel assembly from the elements. The genoa cover is installed as part of getting the boat ready to leave at the dock similar to snapping on the mainsail cover and is removed and stowed as part of the process of getting the boat ready to get underway. S/V Dynamic Equilibrium also has a standard mainsail. I choose the protective sleeve vs. the sewn-in panels to give the headsail better light air performance. The sewn-in panels are heavy and can prevent the genoa from properly inflating in light air. 4. Has an appropriately sized luff tape that fits the grooves in your headsail foil 5. Has tensioning cords sewn into the foot and leach for fine adjustments of sail shape in the lower 1/3 of the sail and minimizing leech flutter 6. Has at least 3 windows sewn in up and down about 12 inches aft of the luff with windward/leeward tell tails sewn in 7. Has at least 3 leech tell tails sewn in up and down the sail 8. Has a foam luff pad and a sail shape that enables the upper and lower swivels to take up the extra draft as the sail is furled. This feature is worthless unless your roller furler has upper and lower independent swivels. But, it will dramatically increase the usable dynamic range of your roller furler. In my opinion, without this feature, this project isn?t worth doing. It?s an expensive project. But, speed costs money. How fast can you afford to go? Yes, I know I?m out of control!

( https://www.dwyermast.com ) The standard mast is a type DM-500 extrusion. A masthead casting that fits the DM-500 extrusion with sufficient blocks for mainsail, genoa, and spinnaker halyards with a spinnaker crane would be the DH 1015. I don?t know where Stan gets the IMF masts fabricated. But, worldwide, there aren?t too many venders for these aluminum extrusions. If you did a tracing of the cross section of the mast and got the dimensions, you could probably find the vender that made it. Or, you could ask Stan if he has masthead castings for the IMF mast with blocks for extra halyards. Isn?t there an optional spinnaker package from GBI? If so, that might include the correct masthead casting. The genoa was made by: JSI Also known as Johnson Sails, Inc or Island Nautical Enterprises, Inc. The company has changed owners and locations in the Greater St. Petersburg area several times. The most recent contact info I have for them is: 1000 30th Street S St. Petersburg, FL 33702 (727) 577-3220 www.islandnautical.com They also made my fully battened mainsail and mainsail cover.

( http://www.rhodes22parts.com/parts ) Here is Stan?s description of the IMF mast: GB10 IMF MAST A General Boats product only available for ROC members. Includes: GB IMF extrusion with: 4 sheave mast top fitting with 2 upper shroud tangs, Connections for jib and double back stays assembly. SS spreader sockets with tangs for 4 lower shrouds. Side cleats for specialty sails. Note that the current mast top fitting includes 4 sheaves. I did not see a separate listing for just the mast top fitting. But, you should check to see if Stan will sell you one of the mast top fittings.

A masthead casting that fits the DM-500 extrusion with sufficient blocks for mainsail, genoa, and spinnaker halyards with a spinnaker crane would be the DH 1015. I don?t know where Stan gets the IMF masts fabricated. But, worldwide, there aren?t too many venders for these aluminum extrusions. If you did a tracing of the cross section of the mast and got the dimensions, you could probably find the vender that made it. Or, you could ask Stan if he has masthead castings for the IMF mast with blocks for extra halyards. Isn?t there an optional spinnaker package from GBI?

I have a couple of follow up questions: 1) How can I add halyards? My boat has the IMF and GB standard furler so there are no halyards. I?m guessing I need to replace the masthead casting to do that?is that correct, and if so where would I go for that? 2) Who made your genoa for you?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Jessie, I think I am finally recovering from my cardiac ablation procedure last February. At least my aerobic stamina has improved to the point where I can do a moderate amount of work or climb a set of stairs W/O getting winded. Since it?s the ?off season?, and it?s been a long time coming, I have decided to get my knee joints replaced. The X-rays show the lateral meniscus in both knees is gone and it?s bone on bone due to osteo-arthritis! The 1st joint replacement will be the right knee on Nov 1st. If all goes well, the left knee will be eplaced 6 weeks later in mid Dec. I will have all winter to do my PT and get better. Hopefully, by next summer, I?ll be able to hike, bike, paddle, and sail much better. We are tentatively rescheduling our High Adventure Sailing/Sea Kayaking/Beach Camping Great Circle Tour Of The Apostle Islands archipelago for Aug, 2022. I?m hoping I?ll be good to go for a few more years after all this recent ?rebuilding?. I have 4 grand children, ages 6, 4, 4, and 10 months that I need to take camping, paddling, and sailing not to mention lots more Boy Scout trips before they lay me in the ground!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Roger, that seems like a good idea to get an overall tuneup during the off season in preparation for more adventures. I hope everything goes smoothly so you can get back in action. My father definitely got relief from knee replacements. The Beaver Island Lodge is still going but we didn't make it there. The two places we grabbed a bite to on Beaver Island were the Circle M and the Shamrock Bar and Grill. We heard good things about the lodge but it sounded a bit fancier. We were not looking nor feeling too fancy as we came off the boat :) Jesse On Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 1:29 PM ROGER PIHLAJA wrote: > Hi Jessie, > > I think I am finally recovering from my cardiac ablation procedure last > February.

Hi Jessie, I think I am finally recovering from my cardiac ablation procedure last February. At least my aerobic stamina has improved to the point where I can do a moderate amount of work or climb a set of stairs W/O getting winded. Since it's the "off season", and it's been a long time coming, I have decided to get my knee joints replaced. The X-rays show the lateral meniscus in both knees is gone and it's bone on bone due to osteo-arthritis! The 1st joint replacement will be the right knee on Nov 1st. If all goes well, the left knee will be eplaced 6 weeks later in mid Dec. I will have all winter to do my PT and get better. Hopefully, by next summer, I'll be able to hike, bike, paddle, and sail much better. We are tentatively rescheduling our High Adventure Sailing/Sea Kayaking/Beach Camping Great Circle Tour Of The Apostle Islands archipelago for Aug, 2022. I'm hoping I'll be good to go for a few more years after all this recent "rebuilding". I have 4 grand children, ages 6, 4, 4, and 10 months that I need to take camping, paddling, and sailing not to mention lots more Boy Scout trips before they lay me in the ground! You didn't mention eating at the Beaver Island Lodge in your adventure. I'm curious if they managed to stay in business thru the pandemic.

We didn't make it over to Garden Island but maybe we'll get a chance to visit there in the future.

If anyone isn?t tied up and is able to attend the boat show, might I suggest spending a few hours at the show and perhaps some time with Stan. I think there was someone who was supposed to help but didn?t show. Doing the show single handed at 95 is more than he can handle by himself. I?ve got to return to Greece otherwise I?d do it myself.

A bimini car rides on the genoa track (usually). As far as the traveller car, there have been several different styles of traveller used over the years.

Do you have the GBI mast stepping system? I am not strong enough to step/unstep the mast without this mechanical aid. Stepping/unstopping the mast is faster if you have some helpers. You save the rigging/unrigging time to setup the GBI mast stepping system. But, if you are alone, the GBI mast stepping system makes it a safe, foolproof operation. The attached picture shows the OEM standard cleat for the backstay adjuster. This cleat is located on the transom in the starboard aft corner. Also shown in the picture is my improved ?Go Faster? backstay adjuster. The backstay tension is the primary way to adjust forestay sag. Forestay sag affects genoa sailshape. You want to be able to adjust it quickly and reproducibly. Here are the components of my backstay adjuster: 1. Harken 146 Single Big Bullet Block With Shackle 2. Harken 144 Swivel Base With 150 Cam-Matic Cam Cleat & Stand-Up Spring 3. 10-24UNC X 1-1/2 Inch 18/8 Stainless Steel Flat Head Phillips Machine Screws, Fenders Washers, & Nylock Nuts ? 4 Reqd Instead of cleating the backstay adjuster off on the OEM standard horned cleat on the transom, rig it thru the Harken block and cam cleat. Now, using a black magic marker, mark off every 6 inches on the backstay control line starting from when the backstay adjuster just starts to take up the slack in the forestay. Now, you can reproducibly adjust the tension in the backstay with just a flick of the wrist and a pull on the control line to the appropriate mark. Note, the required backstay tension to eliminate forestay sag in heavy air is quite high. I don?t like to leave the backstay tension that high when I leave the boat (think banana boat!). So, I slack off the backstay adjuster when I?m not actually sailing. Note, the Harken swivel base enables the helmsman to reach and adjust the backstay tension from any position in the cockpit. This discussion actually belongs in the ?Go Faster? &/or ?Furling Headsail Replacement? threads because it is another go faster upgrade associated with the genoa.

I assume the 'challenge' you mention was getting the forestay connected to its chainplate at the bow. What had me scratching my head was your mention of shortening the chains. Shortening the chains shouldn't have any effect on being able to get the top of the mast far enough forward to make the forestay connection, unless... By any chance, do you have the chains connected to the mast crane?

But I could not for the life of me get the pin in the headstay chainplate. Lowered it put in second link-closer but no cigar. Lowered again-put in third link and was able to crank it down far enough. If crank handle was parallel to deck instead perpendicular would have had another turn. As I mentioned earlier I think something was binding at the masthead because when it popped the headstay was looser.

Do you have the GBI mast stepping system? I am not strong enough to step/unstep the mast without this mechanical aid. Stepping/unstopping the mast is faster if you have some helpers. You save the rigging/unrigging time to setup the GBI mast stepping system. But, if you are alone, the GBI mast stepping system makes it a safe, foolproof operation. > > The attached picture shows the OEM standard cleat for the backstay adjuster. This cleat is located on the transom in the starboard aft corner. Also shown in the picture is my improved ?Go Faster? backstay adjuster. The backstay tension is the primary way to adjust forestay sag. Forestay sag affects genoa sailshape. You want to be able to adjust it quickly and reproducibly. Here are the components of my backstay adjuster: > > > 1. Harken 146 Single Big Bullet Block With Shackle > 2.

Now, using a black magic marker, mark off every 6 inches on the backstay control line starting from when the backstay adjuster just starts to take up the slack in the forestay. Now, you can reproducibly adjust the tension in the backstay with just a flick of the wrist and a pull on the control line to the appropriate mark. Note, the required backstay tension to eliminate forestay sag in heavy air is quite high. I don?t like to leave the backstay tension that high when I leave the boat (think banana boat!). So, I slack off the backstay adjuster when I?m not actually sailing.

There has been more than one version of the mast lifting system, but I only know the details of the one I have (circa 2016). I'll just have to assume that yours is the same . When you are going to raise the mast, the mast crane should start out tipped a little aft of vertical. The aft lower shrouds are attached directly to the mast crane. The upper shrouds are connected to their chainplates. The forward lower shrouds should also be connected to their chainplates, but they won't reach. This is where the chains are used to extend the forward lowers. When you get to the point where the mast is vertical, the mast crane will be close to horizontal, but there should still be enough room to continue to rotate the winch handle until the back stays are pretty tight, and the forestay can be attached to its chainplate without too much struggle.

Manipulating it without a crane is not as difficult with a continental rig because it?w lighter without the main sail attached. Now - I have a home made crane that I bought in NJ, and used without any guidance. I used it the first time at the end of 2020 to lower the mast. Intuitively - I hooked the froward-lowers to the crane and left the aft-lowers connected to the chainplates. Worked like a charm! I made the same connections to raise the mast this spring - again - no problem. I don?t understand the logic of connecting the aft-lowers to the crane and the need for extenders for the forward-lowers. Can someone fill me in? Ric Dadventure HBNY Richard F.

Do you have the GBI mast stepping system? I am not strong enough to step/unstep the mast without this mechanical aid. Stepping/unstopping the mast is faster if you have some helpers. You save the rigging/unrigging time to setup the GBI mast stepping system. But, if you are alone, the GBI mast stepping system makes it a safe, foolproof operation. >> >> The attached picture shows the OEM standard cleat for the backstay adjuster. This cleat is located on the transom in the starboard aft corner. Also shown in the picture is my improved ?Go Faster? backstay adjuster. The backstay tension is the primary way to adjust forestay sag. Forestay sag affects genoa sailshape. You want to be able to adjust it quickly and reproducibly. Here are the components of my backstay adjuster: >> >> >> 1. Harken 146 Single Big Bullet Block With Shackle >> 2. Harken 144 Swivel Base With 150 Cam-Matic Cam Cleat & Stand-Up Spring >> 3. 10-24UNC X 1-1/2 Inch 18/8 Stainless Steel Flat Head Phillips Machine Screws, Fenders Washers, & Nylock Nuts ? 4 Reqd >> >> Instead of cleating the backstay adjuster off on the OEM standard horned cleat on the transom, rig it thru the Harken block and cam cleat. Now, using a black magic marker, mark off every 6 inches on the backstay control line starting from when the backstay adjuster just starts to take up the slack in the forestay. Now, you can reproducibly adjust the tension in the backstay with just a flick of the wrist and a pull on the control line to the appropriate mark. Note, the required backstay tension to eliminate forestay sag in heavy air is quite high. I don?t like to leave the backstay tension that high when I leave the boat (think banana boat!). So, I slack off the backstay adjuster when I?m not actually sailing.

I have a self-made system and attach the forward lowers to the crane pole, and have wondered the same thing. I use baby stays attached to eyelets on the mast below the spreader brackets to keep the mast in line. This method was outlined in one of the early GB instructions. My system utilizes the trailer winch cable attached to the crane pole. The baby stay lines run under the cabintop handrail aft of the center mount fitting then forward and tied off to the trailer tower next to the winch with a tautline hitch. I can easily adjust the tension in flight, and if the mast tries to lean sideways while cranking, I can just put a bit of pressure down on the opposite baby stay and bring the mast back/keep it in line. I have purchased a small at electric winch at Harbor Freight that I will try next spring It has a remote fob so I can stand on the foredeck and control the mast by and foresail/furler without having to stay at the winch. It should make the process much easier single handed...hopefully.

I love the idea of the electric winch with a remote - let us know how that goes. So far I have not had sideways leaning issues that couldn?t be controlled easily from the crane as the mast is on the way up or down - even in some pretty heavy wind. I will be lowering the mast this Saturday while on the mooring so that when I motor over to the ramp at dusk, I can haul-it and go - Shhhh! - long silly story about municipal permits, trailers and tow vehicles.

There is a toggle joint where the forestay attaches to the masthead casting. When you are trailering the boat or setting the mast up to be stepped, this toggle joint can get folded back onto itself, thus using up about 1-1/2? of forestay. I believe your toggle joint got stuck in the folded position until quite a bit of tension was applied to the forestay and then it straightened itself out with a loud ?pop?. Checking the position of the toggle joint is something to add to your checklist.

It's especially important to keep these things in mind when a thread is started or extended by a reply to a daily digest, as opposed to an individual post. The daily digest emails can be pretty big, will usually have lots and lots of text that has no relevance to the current discussion, and their subject lines are never on topic.

Any resource that shows something like this? Maybe someone on YouTube or something has covered this seemingly basic task?

Pardon my french. I have a habit of making a scene... Today I had my 7yo son with me... And I try to minimize his exposure to "daddy flew off the handle because his expectations were failed by a fucking professional". Ooo I swore again... Admittedly I am not looking for a $$$$.xx spend. I do have insurance.... As mentioned before.. it's better I minimize exposure to them. Meltzer knows... Lol Thanks everyone. I'd like to wrap this up fast.

Message-ID: Discussion threads are an interesting topic. I looked into this a bit while working on the web based interface for the email list that will some day show up on rhodes22.org. I'm pretty sure that the email list archives are created by a piece of software called 'Pipermail'. This is different from, but somehow integrated with the 'Mailman' software that manages the core email list functionality. The short answer to Roger's question is 'no'. (That's actually the long answer too.) Pipermail is a black box, and as far as I know, there's no way to influence what it will do, or to undo what it has already done. The thing I figured out about Pipermail, is that it knows if a new email is a reply to an old email, and if it is, it will put it in the same thread as the original email. It must get this information from the usually invisible header data. I once started what I intended to be a new thread by opening a recent post in my email client, stripping out 100% of the contents, entering new text, and changing the subject. Pipermail plunked it right into the middle of an existing thread on an entirely different subject. Your email client program makes it's own decisions about what emails belong in a common thread (if it attempts to do threading at all). The one on my Mac desktop appears to rely on a random number generation based algorithm. When I decided that I wanted to include the concept of threads in the new (as yet unseen) web based forum interface, I had to decide how to go about it. I decided to use the subject line and a time cut-off. I can't remember the exact details, but if a new posting has a subject line that is similar to (ignoring case and extra spaces) the subject line of another message posted recently (about a month), it becomes part of the same thread. No criteria will ever be perfect. --Peter > On 2021-10-20, at 16:30:20 EDT, ROGER PIHLAJA wrote: > > Peter, > > Is there a way to move individual e-mails from one thread to another in the > archives?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Tom, Another possible approach: get someone with experience (a marine surveyor?) who is not affiliated with the yard to take a look at your hull and render an opinion. Better to have one set of eyes on the hull in person than a dozen or more looking at digital photographs. If there is damage you'll need someone to give you an estimate anyway. It just seems very curious to me that anything they might use to detail your boat would strip paint and gelcoat off the hull. Lawsuits and such take their own toll on both parties.

A million thanks for getting that one boat to the show goes to multi Rhodes owner John McLaughlin who gave up time from his own business to make that happen. And equal thanks to long time owner Michael Corley who managed retrieving the show boat from the show in spite of the wood ramp the show had built to our exhibit area, collapsing under the weight of superior built Rhodes.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Peter, I will try to keep all this in mind when I respond to a question. It?s a shame there is no way to move something if it gets misclassified though. What if the new thread were input with the old subject line where it was more appropriate and searchable? Would Pipermail see the new date and start a new thread? For example, what would happen if I were to repost my response to Wilson?s ?First Time? as ?Go Faster?. Would it end up in the archives as somehow associated with and therefore searchable with the original ?Go Faster? thread? Roger Pihlaja S/V Dynamic Equilibrium Sent from Mail for Windows From: Peter Nyberg Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2021 5:15 PM To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org Subject: [Rhodes22-list] What's a Thread? Discussion threads are an interesting topic. I looked into this a bit while working on the web based interface for the email list that will some day show up on rhodes22.org. I'm pretty sure that the email list archives are created by a piece of software called 'Pipermail'. This is different from, but somehow integrated with the 'Mailman' software that manages the core email list functionality. The short answer to Roger's question is 'no'. (That's actually the long answer too.) Pipermail is a black box, and as far as I know, there's no way to influence what it will do, or to undo what it has already done. The thing I figured out about Pipermail, is that it knows if a new email is a reply to an old email, and if it is, it will put it in the same thread as the original email. It must get this information from the usually invisible header data. I once started what I intended to be a new thread by opening a recent post in my email client, stripping out 100% of the contents, entering new text, and changing the subject. Pipermail plunked it right into the middle of an existing thread on an entirely different subject. Your email client program makes it's own decisions about what emails belong in a common thread (if it attempts to do threading at all). The one on my Mac desktop appears to rely on a random number generation based algorithm. When I decided that I wanted to include the concept of threads in the new (as yet unseen) web based forum interface, I had to decide how to go about it. I decided to use the subject line and a time cut-off. I can't remember the exact details, but if a new posting has a subject line that is similar to (ignoring case and extra spaces) the subject line of another message posted recently (about a month), it becomes part of the same thread. No criteria will ever be perfect. --Peter > On 2021-10-20, at 16:30:20 EDT, ROGER PIHLAJA wrote: > > Peter, > > Is there a way to move individual e-mails from one thread to another in the > archives?

I don?t think I?ve posted a response after abandoning Nabble, Matt. I did this repair a couple winters ago. The factory cheek failed in heavy wind while dodging a foiling windsurfer who went down. I think I had fatigued the OEM Starboard cheek with prop wash while docking in heavy winds, since the rudder and tiller aren?t tethered on my boat and I?m on the lee side of a double finger. I have to angle the prop to avoid drifting into another boat while single handing in heavy wind. I occasionally sail in great lakes chop, maybe 35-40 hours a year. Wave action may play a roll as well. On the advice of an Australian sailor from another forum who is also an engineer, I used G-10. This is the stuff printed circuit boards are made out of. G-10 is too expensive for a production boat and the dust is an inhalation danger. It?s much stronger and more rigid with less weight hanging off the stern, if you buy the right stuff. Grainger does not sell the high strength product we want. My mistake. I had to glue two ? inch sheets for the bottom of the cheek, to obtain sufficient stiffness. Boat Outfitters sells the high strength product. I bought some to fix a spare (broken) companionway hatch, but it is now on backorder. Welcome to 2021. The online advice was to cut it with a jig saw (worked well) and paint with plastic bumper paint from autozone (holds up well). I hope this helps. I don?t live in a sailing area and the local fabricator was scared to cut aluminum cheek plates. This is also a superior solution if your boat is likely to see salt water.

Message-ID: Roger, I've observed some behavior of Pipermail, and drawn some conclusions, but I don't have access to source code, or even documentation. >From what I've seen, if Pipermail determines that a newly received email is a reply to an older email already in the archives, it will put the new email in the same thread as the older email. (A Pipermail thread can actually have a tree structure. In this case Pipermail will put the new email on the same branch of the thread as the older email.) It seems clear that Pipermail does not use either the subject line or the contents of the email to determine if one email is a reply to another, so I assume it uses information in the unseen header data. If Pipermail determines that a new email is NOT a reply to an older email, then the new email becomes the start of a new thread. To make your response to Wilson part of the 'Go Faster' thread, find an old email from the 'Go Faster' thread in your inbox, create a reply to that email, delete the original contents, insert your response text, change the subject to something appropriate (or leave it as is), and send it. I think that would be a worthwhile experiment. --Peter > On 2021-10-21, at 08:33:13 EDT, ROGER PIHLAJA wrote: > > Peter, > > I will try to keep all this in mind when I respond to a question.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: It look to my eye your hull had no bottom paint or it abatived off. To the point it started growing things. Is thier any gel coat damage? Can not tell what the white stuff damage? is or just something on the surface? In the end , if it damage, you might have to soad blast, flair, barrier and two coats of mincon. Btw if you are in the mood Larson is 30 miles south for a second option.

There is a toggle joint where the forestay attaches to the masthead casting. When you are trailering the boat or setting the mast up to be stepped, this toggle joint can get folded back onto itself, thus using up about 1-1/2? of forestay. I believe your toggle joint got stuck in the folded position until quite a bit of tension was applied to the forestay and then it straightened itself out with a loud ?pop?. Checking the position of the toggle joint is something to add to your checklist. > > Roger Pihlaja > S/V Dynamic Equilibrium > > Sent from Mail for Windows > > From: Wilson Cook via Rhodes22-list > Sent: Monday, October 18, 2021 7:57 AM > To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org > Subject: [Rhodes22-list] First time > > So I erected my mast for the first time yesterday.

It will be interesting to see where Pipermail files this in the archives. Roger Pihlaja S/V Dynamic Equilibrium __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Wilson, It helps to make a checklist and follow it. Do you have the GBI mast stepping system? I am not strong enough to step/unstep the mast without this mechanical aid. Stepping/unstopping the mast is faster if you have some helpers. You save the rigging/unrigging time to setup the GBI mast stepping system. But, if you are alone, the GBI mast stepping system makes it a safe, foolproof operation. The attached picture shows the OEM standard cleat for the backstay adjuster. This cleat is located on the transom in the starboard aft corner. Also shown in the picture is my improved ?Go Faster? backstay adjuster. The backstay tension is the primary way to adjust forestay sag. Forestay sag affects genoa sailshape. You want to be able to adjust it quickly and reproducibly. Here are the components of my backstay adjuster: 1. Harken 146 Single Big Bullet Block With Shackle 2. Harken 144 Swivel Base With 150 Cam-Matic Cam Cleat & Stand-Up Spring 3. 10-24UNC X 1-1/2 Inch 18/8 Stainless Steel Flat Head Phillips Machine Screws, Fenders Washers, & Nylock Nuts ? 4 Reqd Instead of cleating the backstay adjuster off on the OEM standard horned cleat on the transom, rig it thru the Harken block and cam cleat. Now, using a black magic marker, mark off every 6 inches on the backstay control line starting from when the backstay adjuster just starts to take up the slack in the forestay. Now, you can reproducibly adjust the tension in the backstay with just a flick of the wrist and a pull on the control line to the appropriate mark. Note, the required backstay tension to eliminate forestay sag in heavy air is quite high. I don?t like to leave the backstay tension that high when I leave the boat (think banana boat!). So, I slack off the backstay adjuster when I?m not actually sailing. Note, the Harken swivel base enables the helmsman to reach and adjust the backstay tension from any position in the cockpit. This discussion actually belongs in the ?Go Faster? &/or ?Furling Headsail Replacement? threads because it is another go faster upgrade associated with the genoa. Roger Pihlaja S/V Dynamic Equilibrium [cid:image002.jpg at 01D7C7E7.D0B71070] Sent from Mail for Windows From: ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2021 3:32 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Furling headsail replacement Hi Michael, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has had a Harken Unit 0 roller furler since 1993. If you are going to do this upgrade, get a roller furler that has the following features: 1. An aerodynamically shaped headfoil with twin luff grooves. 2. Independent upper and lower swivels 3. A low profile lower swivel assembly that doesn?t use up a lot of headsail luff length 4. Extensive use of Torlon ball &/or roller bearings throughout 5. An enclosed furling drum with a good fairlead to prevent furling control line snarls 6. Either an extruded, 1-piece, flexible, polymer headfoil or an extruded aluminum headfoil with individual, replaceable sections in case you damage one Besides, the Harken roller furlers, there are many other quality units on the market that fulfill all these requirements. I replaced my headstay as part of this project. The Harken unit has been completely bulletproof and still spins as easily as a bicycle tire! All the maintenance that?s required is an annual freshwater rinse for the bearings and the weekly anti spider flush on the furling drum. Why do spiders like to build nests inside the furling drum? Once you?ve installed the upgraded roller furler, you?re going to need a new headsail to take advantage of it. Your new headsail should be: 1. Made of a composite material vs. dacron. S/V Dynamic Equilibrium?s 150% genoa is made of Bainbridge?s Cruise-Lam composite sailcloth. Cruise-Lam sailcloth is a 5 layer composite consisting of outer skins of dacron for abrasion, UV, and flogging resistance, Kevlar scrims (think mesh), and an inner core of mylar. It?s been completely bulletproof and the sail shape still looks great! 2. Constructed with Bi-Radial or Tri-Radial panel layout. S/V Dynamic Equiibrium?s 150% genoa is made with Bi-Radial panel layout. But, with improvements in CAD assisted panel layout in the time since I purchased mine, I would probably opt for a Tri-Radial panel layout if I purchased it today. 3. Either have UV protective acrylic panels ( i.e. Sunbrella) sewn into the foot and leach or use a UV protective Sunbrella sleeve that is hauled up the furled headsail using an extra halyard when you are not using it. Since S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is rigged to fly a tri-radial spinnaker and has the spare halyard, my boat has the protective sleeve. I think the protective sleeve does a better job of protecting the head of the furled sail and the upper swivel assembly from the elements. The genoa cover is installed as part of getting the boat ready to leave at the dock similar to snapping on the mainsail cover and is removed and stowed as part of the process of getting the boat ready to get underway. S/V Dynamic Equilibrium also has a standard mainsail. I choose the protective sleeve vs. the sewn-in panels to give the headsail better light air performance. The sewn-in panels are heavy and can prevent the genoa from properly inflating in light air. 4. Has an appropriately sized luff tape that fits the grooves in your headsail foil 5. Has tensioning cords sewn into the foot and leach for fine adjustments of sail shape in the lower 1/3 of the sail and minimizing leech flutter 6. Has at least 3 windows sewn in up and down about 12 inches aft of the luff with windward/leeward tell tails sewn in 7. Has at least 3 leech tell tails sewn in up and down the sail 8. Has a foam luff pad and a sail shape that enables the upper and lower swivels to take up the extra draft as the sail is furled. This feature is worthless unless your roller furler has upper and lower independent swivels. But, it will dramatically increase the usable dynamic range of your roller furler. In my opinion, without this feature, this project isn?t worth doing. It?s an expensive project. But, speed costs money. How fast can you afford to go? Yes, I know I?m out of control!

My boat has the factory furler, which requires me to drop the mast to remove the headsail. I?d like the option of being able to change out my 130 for a working jib when appropriate for higher wind race days. I?ve been contemplating replacing my furler with a CDI or Harken, but I believe I will need an additional halyard for that and my masthead doesn?t have an extra sheave. Has anyone done that replacement and could you share what your experience was?

I ended up using 4200 to mount the base in the lowest part of the lazarette.

For those who have a dry lazarette: Great, wish I did, but I don't. If I could find the source I would have corrected it. Hope springs eternal. I don't get much, but more than I want to sponge out each time I go out. I have replaced both drains in the cockpit seat troughs as well as the hoses below. I have a shelf in the bottom of the lazarette which I store my anchor rode and some other items. I was getting enough water to wet the rode. The pump keeps the water down to about half an inch.

However this year I think I found the problem. The seats have small drain holes where water runs through to the cockpit sole. I think what is happening is that with heavy rain, however, the surface tension of the water increases and a stream of water runs back on the bottom of the seat behind the bulkhead and then drops off into the lazarette. I can't be certain as I didn't have time to hang paper towel in strategic locations before I had to haul the boat for the winter. I might still be wrong about this but it would be an easy fix to put a bead of silicone across the bottom of the seat before the lazarette bulkhead to break the surface tension. Just a thought.

Now, I can report the bilge and lazarette are dry. The main problem turned out to be a crack in front of the centerboard trunk (probably caused by a hard grounding during it's past). When the boat was hauled this winter and spring, using pressure treated wood, fiberglass matting and resin, I reinforced the rib and stringers in that area. I also suspected that the cockpit drains became overwhelmed by intense rains (seems like they are a lot more frequent these days), and the water was making its way inside by flowing underneath the lazarette hatch cover. This was confirmed by stains left by the water on the rim of the hatch, as well as hanging some paper towels there. To combat this, I installed a product called MD Auto & Marine Rubber Weatherseal around the lip of the hatch. In addition, a leaky port was sealed. So far, so good this year. Things are nice and dry. Good luck with your boat!

Your lazarette should always be bone dry. If the water is not coming from a drain hose clog or leak, you have a serious structural problem.
