Overview Our sailboat is a 1993 Hunter 23.5, purchase used in October of 2014. It came with a roller furler jib and Lazy Jacks. This is a guide to get the boat from trailering and transport with the mast down and boom off all the way ready to sail. The picture below shows what the boat looks like when it’s packed up to transport. The mast is down, sails off, roller furling and boom laid against the mast with everything secured by bungee cords (can also wrap in shrink wrap – used for boxes and moving). The mast-raising pole is laid on the deck in this picture. It would be stowed inside the boat before transport. (There are more pictures and a video of the boat packed for transport on the home computer.) ! 2. Understanding Everything Connected to the Mast Before you can think about raising the mast, you have to understand all of the components that are attached to the mast or run through the mast. Each needs attention before the mast can be raised. 2.2.1.Shrouds and Stays (The “Standing Rigging”) TheMcDonnell shrouds Family are cables that connectContributions from the top and Improvementsof the mast to the port and starboard side. The stays connect from the top of the Welcomedmast to the bow and stern. Our Hunter 23.5 has a fractional rig which means that there is no back stay, only a front stay. McDonnell Family Side Shrouds Our boat has upper shrouds that run around spreaders and lower stays that connect to the mast below the spreaders. The lower shrouds have cables with “T-Balls” at the ends. The mast has rubber linings in the holes for these shrouds, but they are missing on one side. We need to jury rig something such as a piece of old tire tube wrapped around the T-Ball to keep it in place while raising the mast. Front Stay On our boat the roller furler acts as the front stay. It connects a few feet below the masthead. See later sections for complete information on the roller furler. 2.2.2.Halyards (Part of the “Running Rigging”) Our boat has one halyard for raising the mast and one for raising the jib. Both run through the mast and come out over sheaves (sheave = “grooved wheel in a block or spar for a rope to run on”) in the upper section of the mast. The other ends of these lines come out of slots in the mast near the bottom so they can be run through the winches to tighten and tied off on cleats to secure in place. The mainsheet halyard comes out the aft end of the mast at the very top. It is 73 feet long. The jib halyard (sometimes also called the “Genoa Halyard”) comes out of the bow end of the mast a few feet below the masthead. It is 65 feet long. The jib halyard plays a key part in the mast raising process. It gets connected to the top of the mast-raising pole. When the mast is up and the raising line secure, the roller furler gets connected to the deck to become the forestay. Later the jib halyard will help raise the jib inside the roller furler system. 2.2.3.Boom Topping Lift (Part of the “Running Rigging”) The topping lift (or uphaul) is a line that applies upward force on a boom on a sailboat. Topping lifts are primarily used to hold a boom up when the sail is lowered. It runs from near the free (stern) end of the boom forward to the top of the mast. The line may be run over a block at the top of the mast and down to the deck to allow it to be adjusted (don’t believe it works this way on our boat). When the sail is raised again, the topping lift is loosened or removed. The first part of the topping lift runs from the top (?) of the mast and has a shackle end that connects to the portion of the topping lift inside the boom. This portion is 27 feet long and has a shackle attachment. [Evan’s note: I imagine this line just connects to the top of the mast and doesn’t run through the mast for adjustment. All adjustment is done on the boom end. Need to verify when checking out the boat.] The other end of the boom topping lift runs inside the boom and has cams that allow for adjustment and keep it secure. This portion is 13 feet long. The boom has three lines running through it. Only one connects upward to the top of the mast. All three go down to the deck from the front of the boom near the mast. The other two lines that run inside the boom are the Outhaul which is used to pull the clew McDonnell Family Contributions and Improvements (clew = “aft corner of sail”) of the sail tight Welcomed(it has

  • From the Commodore ... Inside This Issue
    S S H S L L From The Commodore ... What a month! Christy tells her friends that our marina is closed due to high water and her friends are waiting for the punch line! Seriously, water in a marina… isn’t that a good thing? That said, this has not been the best start to a sailing season. It has been difficult to get the necessary work done to our boats for launch. If the weather holds out on the weekend our boat should be settling in her slip, approximately 1 hour before Christy & I will be attending Grosse Ile’s Commodore’s Ball (Christy is wondering how she is going to go from “Boat Hair Don’t Care” to “Commodore’s Ball Ready.” I would like to thank you for all the thoughts and prayers we received for my Yen Yen’s (Grandmother’s} passing. Christy and I flew out to Vancouver over the holiday weekend for a Celebration of Life for my Yen Yen. It has been about Eighteen years since I have seen many of my Canadian relatives. I loved every minute; however Christy and I both kept picturing our boat anchored out at False Creek, Vancouver BC. From the pictures we saw it looks like there was a good turnout for the Memorial Weekend cruise. We saw many diehards that stuck it out on Sunday too. Thank you to Matt and Joy for taking the helm for the cruise, we so appreciate your dedication to the Club! Also thank you Chris and Tim for all of your hard work getting the WNATR season started.

  • Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series
    Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CT 06614 203-375-2626 [email protected] INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsails we produce for Beneteau USA and the Oceanis Line of boats. In sailing the boats we can offer these general ideas and observations that will apply to the 311’s through to the newest B49. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. MAINSAIL TRIM: The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsail, as the concepts are the same. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. Upwind 1. Upwind in up to about 8 knots true wind the traveler can be brought to weather of centerline. This ensures that the boom will be close centerline and the leech of the sail in a powerful upwind mode. 2. The outhaul should be eased 2” / 50mm at the stopper, easing the foot of the mainsail away from the boom about 8”/200mm 3. Mainsheet tension should be tight enough to have the uppermost tell tail on the leech streaming aft about 50% of the time in the 7- 12 true wind range. For those with furling mainsails the action of furling and unfurling the sail can play havoc with keeping the telltales on the sail and you may need to replace them from time to time. Mainsail outhaul eased for light air upwind trim You will find that the upper tell tail will stall and fold over to the weather side of the sail about 50% of the time in 7-12 knots.

  • Are We Having Fun Yet! Created by John Barnett
    Are we having fun Yet! created by John Barnett { Rule 1, Never go down below specially with the engine running packing food, that should have been done at the dock. If you feel it coming on, do something active like steering. If you are prone to sea sickness take the proper drugs, before leaving the dock, better at night before to start. If sick, keep warm, try to drink, stay on deck, small bucket can be your friend. I have small buckets on my boat. No Cotton underwear will keep you cold. No! you can’t swim with the dolphins. Follow what the doc told you today. If wind is coming in the Galveston channel and against the current. Leave the channel going close to the east jetty, sail out until the waves calm down, then turn to the start. This can be the worst part of the race. Seasickness is the major problem! Understand the clouds and winds Watch the barometer, if it starts dropping shorten sail. If you smell ozone that fresh lighting smell, all hell is about to happen sails should have been reefed. Which way is the wind blowing? If the wind is blowing from the aft and the big clouds are coming from forward. Shorten sail. Make sure someone go down close and lock everything early. Fronts: Time to change sails or prepare for a wind shift. Do you have your harness on with life jacket? Jib should be rolled up, main ready to be reefed or done, look at the waves up there for a shift looking at white caps, flying spray starts at 27kts in salt water Shortening Sails First of all, does everyone in the crew know how? Skipper maybe sea sick down below.

Generally these headsails are set flying on roller furling gear. With this in mind, here’s an easy and straightforward approach to trimming roller furling headsails and setting them up for quick and precise reefing. )LUVW7KLQJV)LUVW+DO\DUG7HQVLRQ)LUVW7KLQJV)LUVW+DO\DUG7HQVLRQ Luff tension is used to remove wrinkles from the luff of the genoa, so that the sail is smooth from to tack to head along the luff.
