Can anyone let me know what the approximate pitch of their spreaders are. How to measure? In setting up this week I've noticed one angled up and one...
Roy, I've seen spreaders on some boats angled slightly aft, but I can't recall ever seeing them angled up or down. The spreaders on my '79 Flicka are ...
I assume you are wondering at what angle to the mast. That is not all that important. The rule of thumb is, the spreader should bisect the shroud. In other...
Jim is right. This means the spreader angles up slightly from the mast. If it were perpendicular to the mast there would be pressure for the outer end to slide...
I have an almost new (9 out of 10) main and 100% genoa for A Flicka. The Genoa has a rope luff pad and a spectra pennant on the foot, UV panel on leech and...
Never having a boat with a bobstay before, I experienced the anchor rode chaffing on the bobstay. What do you do to avoid the chaffing? I am interested in your...
I used a piece of PVC pipe, 2" diameter, and ran the bobstay through it. The boat spent 6 years either anchored or on a mooring and the PVC never allowed any...
... I put a bow shackle in place of the clevis pin where the bob stay connects to the cransiron. I attached a block to that which swivels. I then run a 1/2...
I covered the bobstay with a plastic tube (split). Got it at West. This helps when riding to a single anchor line. In my harbor, double mooring pennants...
Hi, On my Island Packet 27 I run both pendants crossed over to the opposite deck cleats with a black mesh 'stocking' over the pendant where it enters through ...

I have been having some conversations with John Danicic, who makes bronze port light screens for the round port light model Pacific Seacrafts. I have created...
Hi Jim and all, Thanks for the pics-- I will post some that I took of Celtic Turtle at Fairlee Creek later this week. It was certainly a kick to see our...

Would someone mind telling me what maintenance is involved in a sea strainer for a Yanmar 1GM10? I see that Chris on Carroll E. is participating in the...
... As far as I know, you simply unscrew the top (I assume it's a Groco.) and remove the basket. Clean it, and put it back in. For longevity, I run fresh...

We have a 1980 Flicka, outboard powered, porta-potty model on a trailer for sale in southern Colorado. Asking price is $18,000.00. Very good sails,new...
I have always been frustrated by the design and operation of the mainsheet traveller, which on my boat consists of a sliding car on the stern rail with...
Ram, I think early model Flickas had this mickey mouse excuse for a traveller. I have it on my '79 and, absolutely right, she jams every time. What could PS ...
Ten years ago, there was a Flicka on San Francisco Bay that had a full upgrade of the design. He gave up on the original and had a Harken traveler on a ...
I will take a few photos and post them with a list of parts. Everything I used came from West Marine. The cleat is a Harken 423 Micro-Cam with a 424 fairlead...
