dark ages

No, no interfaces, Ladybug is pretty bare bones.

It works well for me, I use it for those days when I have to motor a decent distance.

Not having interfaces keeps me paying attention, I'm less likely to wind up doing something stupid (easy enough w/o help).

Dude, lighten up your beating up Kerrydeares granpa's dead horse

My 28 has occasionally gone faster than 6.3 kts, whatever that means, but it does make me happy, which is all I care about.

Ladybug's Jib Track

Stan,

Here is a photo I have handy. The sheets go to a turning block on the toe rail then to the cockpit winches. Otherwise they will chafe on the coaming.

CD28 Cutter rig

If you want to use the club boom & sail behind the roller furled sail on the forestay, I think you would need a second removable stay (solent stay?). As you noted, it will have to clear the roller drum. The club jib would be hanked onto this new removable stay. You may need the jib sail re-cut a...

CD 28 holding tank

Todd,

FWIW- my '77 CD28 (#125) came to me with the v-berth water tank and a water tank under each settee and a flexible holding tank under the small "seat" in the v-berth.

Ganrty

Very nice John,

A couple of years ago I pulled my Farymann out using a boom derrick to lift from the cockpit sole up/out & over the stanchions. Did it early one Sunday morning so I could clean up any mishaps before any else arrived in the yard!
