I had the Tides Marine system on my C&C 110 and have the Antal system on my J/42 Jade. Both work well. And on both I WOULD NEVER pull the pin to drop cars out...
The way we reef it would be pretty hard to lose the stack. When underway, we only reef from a fully hoisted main. The halyard is under control on a winch and...

Bill, I have talked to TPI and they were unable to answer any of my questions about the option tank configuration for the J-42. If you still have the...
It has been years since I put the tank in and I don't have any info on it here at home and I may not even have anything on the boat. It was made by a Florida...

Hi Bernie, I'm wondering if you could 're-send' your message from last year on tuning. You had provided the appropriate loos gage style (was it RJ 11?) and...

I need to have the hydraulic bs reconditioned so I am taking it off and sending to maker (Sailtec). I have running BS to help support the mast during the...
Hi Conrad: The mast stays up fine without a backstay. The swept-back spreaders do the trick. Just don't go sailing with an asym :-) We launch our boat with a...
Dear Conrad, I've disconnected my backstay the same way you describe many times. Â I found only the need for slight tension as the mast could stay up by...
The mast stays up fine without a back stay in fact in light air I have it off completely. Your question raised one for me. I always have the backstay fully...
Yes my backstay has zero or just a little tension on in light wind to stop it flopping about. I also tension it up a bit more in light wind and leftover chop...
