Re: Cd 28 halyards
Hi Ben; The owners manual lists 7/16" x 72' for the main halyard. The groove in the sheave is for the old wire to rope halyards that were once popular. The wire didn't stretch as much as the fiber line, but the wire/rope lines were expensive, and developed "meathooks" that were hard o...

Re: TY Senior Sails
Hi Woody: 1. I recommend you keep the slugs on your new mainsail. A boltrope main falls all over the deck when dropped, and is a royal pain to flake on the boom, especially if your single handed. 2. No. Most sailmakers, and many CD'rs on this board, recommend a loose footed sail with full battens on...

Furler Repair (Edited)
Hi Pete: I just installed a Code 0 , Mk I on my boat. The very old Mk I foils used roll pins. Roll pin foil replacement parts are no longer listed by Harken. You may have the newer later Mark type foil. If you do, you can replace the one bent foil. If you have roll pin foils, you'll probably need to...

SF Sailing
Hi Tim:
My C&C 27 was sailed in SF bay by the PO. He almost always used a 90% jib, which, like using the 80% on your Ariel, seemed right for the conditions.
Regards,
Tony Jeske

Gone Over to the Dark Side
Well gang, after twenty-six years of Cape Dory ownership of three CD's along the way, I've finally gone over to the dark side. My creaky joints have been defeated by all that lovely Cape Dory teak. Last Wednesday, I became the official owner of a practically teak free C&C 27, which I won't have ...

Fully battened Main
Hi Debbie: When you're motor sailing, and let's face it, it's something we all do more than we'd like, a full battened main will ride quietly and not flog, a real benefit. Believe it or not, my CD-28 came with a fully battened working jib(!) THAT I would not recommend. Regards, Tony (not flogging in...
