Thanks everyone for the great response. Weather permitting I'm going out again this weekend. I'll take more photos after I've tried your suggestions and post...
... Not quite. The piece of aluminum is an "L" . The upright is curved a bit and fastens to the mast, and the short leg fills in the gap in to let the slug...
I use bowlines on my jib sheets too. A suggestion would be to tie the bowlines opposite......having end of line coming out of rabbit hole to the outside. End...
I thought I was the only one that had this problem!!! My jib sheets used to be one long rope with a clove hitch as previously described. This works very well...
I always have a good sized piece of lockwire (or equivalent) wrapped somewhere around the motor (like the mount handles) somewhere easily accessible. If the...
Michael, Thanks for the great suggestion! Wicked clevah! I have always had this problem and even with rollers and tying the bowlines opposite I still got...
I have been looking for this solution for a long time. I saw another T22 in my marina with one and tried to buy one but it looks like you have to fabricate...
I like all the suggestions regarding the water flow, but for me the most important question is: what temperature was the motor when it was running ? Was the...
Hi Michael and Michael, I have been wary of shackles on the headsail clew for fear of further gel coat damage on my already weathered and worn deck. I would...
The foot of the main can be slow to move. Ease the out haul and ease the main sheet, then go and have a "talk" to the back end of the main. This may involve...
Hi David, Geez, if I try and visualize your different bowlines, my brain will have a seizure! I'll look at them during the NA's. I could never bother with the...
I use a sail stop that just screws in by hand. They are commonly available in chandleries I think. I do lose them. A solution I like, but haven't got around to...
Wrinkles appear in the luff when halyard tension is decreased. The purpose of slackening halyard tension is to move the sail's draft and point higher. The...
Hello All A while back we were discussing why 9.9 Hondas were not idling well. Some of you may remember my remarks about "getting off the boat and looking at ...
Ralph....tie same bowline except turn clew of sail upside down for one of them and that makes them mirror image......how simple is that? As for Duct ...
Those of you who use the lifting bridle and keel plates: can you lift the boat with the mast up (and backstay disconnected?) or is the mast always down when...
This is the only response I got from a Furlex dealer regarding finding parts: Thank you for your email. You will need to contact Selden Furlex. 1-843-760-6278....
Hi Andy, I have the lifting bridle and keel plates. Ken's arrangement is fantastic. It is better for the boat than straps around the hull. I have only launched...
Hi Michael - please take a photo of the plates - sounds like exactly what I think we need for Pyxis. Al On May 31, 2006, at 09:53 , Michael Casling wrote: This...
Ok Fred, I'll bite. Why do things on sailboats have to have specific names? Al On May 31, 2006, at 08:05 , Fred Savaglio wrote: I did mean the later and so it...
Ok, one more method : we take one line long enough to be both jib sheets and pass a bight through the clew, then pass the two tails through the bight. Can stay...
ISO : I know that one of the members has posted the photos of their keel to hull joint when not faired showing bare metal / rust and the 'glass hull. We are...
Thanks Henry, I got a response as well and a site with a handbook from Selden,which identifies the parts. At least now I can identify what I want. One site in...
... Safety is one of the big reasons why you should use the correct (specific) names, so that when requesting or identifying something urgent, everyone...
... My previous boat had the gooseneck mounted on a large s/s slug that fit into the track (not so different than the ones that the track secures to. The slot...
... That's the article (I had the magazine and I think it was in a book SAIL published of 101 Things that Work, which I also have. I only have the piece in one...
