Refit 38/029 All, Coming winter I'm going to do a refit of 38/029. Has anyone advice on the replacement of the main genoa winches Lewmar 55/3speed for electrical winches? What winch model can use the same drilling holes? Has anyone changed the mainsheeting winch for a 6:1 sheeting blocks without winch? Regards Rene van den Dorpel

Dear Rene Referring to your question about a main sheet tackle, pls note that the approx main sheet load for cruising is up to 300 kg, and for racing two times that.
Kind regards
Lars

We have replaced the mainsheet system to a 6 to 1 system by Harken. Per their website: 6:1 Reeved Right Angle Boats with mainsails up to 35 m² (375 ft²) often use a 6:1 system. The big boat blocks have a max workload up to 3,800 lbs. We do not race our boat, but were very happy with the change. No more winch in the cockpit for my shins to bang on makes it much more pleasant. Would do it again. -Nathan s/v Inspiration 38/090

Here is the mainsheet arrangement on skylark. A 6:1 with an additional 4:1 tweaker giving 24:1 (i think) very useful and highly reccomended. The main tail is tied up and hanging from the boom just to keep it out of the way but you get the idea. The main sheet is 10mm and about 20m long and the 5mm tweaker is about 5m long. |

Hi Rene, we changed our genoa winsches 10 years ago for ANDERSEN-52“ ST-FS. A good decission! I think it´s not really rellevant to get a new winch with same drilling holes. It´s very simple to drill new thread holes into the coaming. There is a 10 mm aluminium plate. Kind regards Klaus CARISSIMA, Swan-38/69 |
