Ned, Hull speed is based on waterline length while the boat is sitting level in the water. As the boat heels, the waterline length increases and so does the speed. Your GPS is probably giving correct info. My 25 has a hull speed around 5.5 knots but given the right conditions I can easliy get 6 knot...

Pole Length
From what I understand a whisker pole should be as long as the foot of the head sail you are using. As far as the height I can't help on that. Chris

Re: sink drain cd 25
The thing is the way it was set up. The drain does not work. If you take the hose off the thue hull ,water comes in. So how could it drain? You cant drain a sink with the hole on the bottom of a boat . If the boat is moving it would work. I plan on hooking the hose to a 3 gallon jug. All the boats ...

Lifting point with boom vang?
Darrell,
In using the boom vang for lifting, what do you use as a lifting point/attachment for the vang? Would the boom end or spinaker pole be appropriate? Since I'm new to "big" boats I have been pondering this.

I found a replacement lens for my spreader light at West Marine. It was the original from Rigrite but the perko lens fit perfectly. Not sure if these will apply to your lenses but here is the link. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/40208/377%20710/0/replacem...

Try using one
SeaHunt, If you have 2 32' lines already why not try using one to form both of your jib sheets. You can use a cow hitch to attach it to the clew of the jib and end up with 2 16' sheets without cutting up the line. This would let you see if that is enough line. I think it would be plenty. Hope this h...

Thanks for the warm welcome!
As far as the name Sostenuto, that is the name she was given 2 owners ago. She has carried her previous owner safely around Lake Huron and Lake Erie, which I have found some record of on this board. I have considered renaming her with the appropriate ceremony but I like the current name. My other (s...

Proud new owner of CD25 #496
Just wanted to say what a great resource this board is. I have been reading and monitoring this board for the last 6 months or so and it has lead me to my new (1977) boat. I certainly plan to join the owners association now that I am an owner. By the way, I probably would have registered and posted ...
