OK, so I mounted a Nissan 9.8 on my Cal 28 when I bought it 3 months ago and was skeptical to say the least--I was used to an inboard, with the prop right in...
I've never seen this idea--I'm thinking it would work well with my jib. It looks like it not only inhauls, but also helps pull the clew down, which seems to be...
Good evening all. Thanks so much for your contributions. I really do appreciate it. Unfortunately, it appears that the vast majority of info out there, is...
Hi Jim, Sounds like you came up with a good solution for a vexing problem. Can you post some pictures or maybe think about getting a patent. This could be a...
I shiver to think about trying to go up and over that humongous wave like in the last scene of the movie "Perfect Strom". Somehow I don't think they ended like...
Well, I think she enjoyed the bottom work but the crane strained when hauling her out ... lol Thanks y'all for the um, support. To clear things up, when I...
Well, at least we know you're not hanging out at the Monster or the Green Parrot :-Þ Or are those gone now? It's been so long since I lived there... Marsh ......
I tried a snatch block on the sheet first. Too heavy and I was afraid it would bang stuff up too much when tacking. In my research, most people seem to use a...
I tried a couple of things on my hatch from the big box store. The issue I had was finding something that would seal a gap that was not always the same and...
Are you near Brion Toss? He has a web site and a forum and answers questions on there from time to time. You might want to post your question there. I think...
According to the "Used Boat Review" in PRACTICAL SAILOR the CAL 2-34 and 3-34 had the same rig, it was "just over 2' taller and the boom 3' shorter than the...
DC I agree with Rodney The 2-34 and 3-34 have the same sail plan and PHRFrating. Richards drawings are of a standard 34. I think they changed around 1974? ...
Hello, Group: Things are progressing well with my project, but I have run into a problem and hope I can get some insight from you all. The nuts on the keel...
Good day, Allen. Thanks for the suggestion. I admire Brian Toss for his experience and his work, but my quest is more one for design details with respect to...
Hi Chuck and Rodney. Thanks for the info! So, I should be looking for a sailplan for either the mkII or mkIII, or simply reference the sailplan measurements...
Hi Chuck. I very much appreciate the offer of your electronic owner's manual, and would like to take you up on it if it's not too much trouble. You can simply...
Just curious, why not replace the bolts? Why would you try and repair them. You wold be welding onto something that is probably in just as bad shape as the...
Has any one replaced or hired someone to replace the sole on a Cal33-2.I have quite a bit of delamination (in part due to a so called marina where it was...
Jim: How extensive is the delamination? I am replacing a section of the cabin sole in the main salon of a cal 33. Maybe I can offer some help. Jeff ...
Allen: The reason I did not think of replacing the bolts is that I was under the impression that during the manufacturing process of the keel, the lead was...
Jim, I did not do this on my Cal 33-2 but did boards on my dinghy. It is not hard, Pull out the old stuff. This may be hard as the boards in some places...
Hey, David: Funny, I was just reading a book by Brian Gilbert - he mentions that 3-M makes 4200 - a polyurethane caulking that works for bedding all deck...
Greets All; Well part two is complete. Im fortunate to have been allowed to take possession of Bay Breeze out of Rock Hall MD. This girl is actually a CAL 3-29...
Well, my boat is different but I doubt if the bolts were molded into the lead. If they were, how would they assemble the boat? It is easy to drill in lead...
Greets: One of the projects that I want to undertake once I settle is to fix the boom from rotating around its axis point. Anyone have any recommendations as...
... If you have roller reefing that you no longer use, as is the case with Papoose, and that is why the boom rotates perhaps I can help. What I did was take a...
Wilkie- Are you talking about the rubber seal around the rim of the hatch that seals out the elements when you close the hatch or the sealant that keeps water ...
