marlbourgh sounds nz come and visit sometime

thanks for that, the second hand one i am looking at is 40.7 ft /35.7ft/21.5 ft. looks pretty similar. might be worth investigating a little more. still locked away from boat here, cheers nigel

hi there the code 0 is usually a lot flatter than the jennaker/mps, better pointing sail and can be run on its own furler, jennaker or multi purpose sail different shape for more beam or downwind sailing, cannot get to boat at the moment,

hi there anyone out there had a mps/genaker made and still got the measurements .luff,leech ,foot, i would like to compare with a second hand good condition one available here off a different boat, also where did you put the tack? cheers nigel

alan i have ordered a new moulded north sails 98 percent. slight yankee cut to clear the rails . as i am more often than not in 15 knots plus i think it will work better for me . not a cheap sail! . will see how she goes in a month or so.

hi there if you google yanmar 3gm water temperature switch you should find it i am only guessing that the thread into the block is the same size alarm threshold should be similar cheers nigel

try the yanmar one it has a screw fitting

thanks i am thinking that the idea of a 100% with a yankee cut and a raised foot as per jesse might be the way to go. should furl more evenly on the schaefer. i will ask my sail maker and see what he thinks.

fellow sailors. the foot of the foil on the schaefer system is is a larger diameter for a couple of feet before it heads up the fore stay . this as i see it means that the sail when reefing does not roll up evenly leaving quite a baggy reef . as i am sailing often down to 70% in 20...

i am a kiwi with a kiwiprop great reverse response and seems to work well pitch adjustable one of the reversing rollers fell out the other day that was interesting no reverse at all quick visit to the travel lift

thanks for that I was wondering what that y valve was for just bought a 310 2004 in waikawa new zealand
