Re: Boom Gallows
That looks great! Nice job.
How do you like the stainless tubing replacement for the lifeline? That looks like a nice improvement too.

Re: Boom Gallows
Looks efficient enough. I'm impressed with your traveler....what make/brand is that?

Re: Boom Gallows
I really like the stainless tubing. I sit leaning back against it quite often, it is nice to have it not move, especially if more than one person is leaning against it.
As for the traveler, I'm not sure. I think it was put on at the factory, every 330 I've seen (3 or 4) has the same setup. I'll look this weekend to see if there is any markings on it.

No handrail on your coachroof?
The boom gallows looks great. Is it adjustable for height? I've seen both fixed and adjustable varieties.

Re: Boom Gallows
That's lovely. I have been considering a similar gallows set up. I've been looking at various option, components, and cost. Where did you get the hardware?
Thanks
John

Re: Boom Gallows
They are fixed height but with the post vertical it would be easy to shorten. With the main up, no wind, there is about 3" to 4" clearance, but with breeze in the sail it is more like 6" to 8", so I'm pretty happy with my swag.
The hardware is from Port Townsend Foundry. Not inexpensive, but I really like the look. I saw several I liked on the internet where the cross bar extended past the vertical posts that would have cost a lot less, but I didn't want to close down the side decks any more than I did with this arrangement.

Re: Boom Gallows
Thanks. Nothing PTF does is inexpensive, but it's always quality work. Pete cast my gammon iron from a pattern we made, the cranze iron, spritshroud tangs, and our dinghy chocks as well. All beautifully done.

From the photo it looks like S/V New Song has a twin "sister" in the next slip.

Re: Boom Gallows
She does. Her owner and I have been friends a long time. It feels good walking down the dock and seeing them side by side.
Re: Boom Gallows
Beautiful installation.
I have a CD28, hardware from same company, but with base I'd planned on putting in corner of cockpit.
I looked at the CD33 for sale on Lake Murray last year, but decided to keep Happy on Lake Lanier.
