Single handing a 32-3 She looks like a nice boat! I single hand our 32-3 regularly. I see that Midwatch already has self tailing winches on the cabin top, I had to add those. These will make things easier. I also changed out the original rope clutches with new lewmars, this makes releasing...

Via Pay Pal Thanks again Sean!!! and everyone else that contributes

Spreader boots I've been using the boots that Guy recomended for a few years now. Easy to install, protect the sail and look good. No issues, and did I mention easy to install. I admit when I installed them i didn't think about the water being able to drain, but now that you mention it......

Aqua Drive I have a buddy that installed one during a new engine installation and it works great and is very smooth. The down side is everything Loren said. Need space, need a thrust plate etc. With the engine out this was still a bunch of work for my friend. The result is a great engine...

Raising the main The Tides system is great. Have used it on a friends boat. The original blocks and turning blocks on the our boat were part of the issue on a hard to raise main. The orignial blocks are not ball bearing blocks so I replaced all of the blocks at the base of the mast and the...

Another - "I don't think it matters" On our 32-3 I've always used the port side halyard for my chute because......well for some reason that's where I ran the halyard. Have not had any issues flying our asymetrical spinnaker from there regardless of which side of Mindscape the sail is flying on.

Everynow and then I'm checking on it every now and again - it's an amazing engineering feat. It is a bit like watching paint dry, but the forces involved are just crazy, wouldn’t want an unexpected inertia!

Thanks Sean! Sean - as always thanks for all your efforts. If there is any ranting to do it will be directed at the individuals that found some need to hack this site. The wealth of information on this site is not measured in posts but in the people that contribute their time here to help...

Thanks! Pay Pal payment on the way... As always - Thanks Sean! Also wanted to say thanks to all the folks that take the time to post and offer their $.02, which is more often than not worth much more than that. Loren, Seth, Morgan, Martin, Guy, and all the others thanks!!

Thanks, nice find I'll order a couple and see how they work

Rigging Only Rigging Only, another vote - Altougth they aren't local I've used them for a number of times and been very happy with them

Sat Should be able to make it. Jan. is a long way off....hoping the Admiral doesnt already have plans.

32-3 Congrats! We've got an 1985 32-3 and love it. Fair winds, don't let the to do list get in the way of the sailing list:)

iPad in the cockpit? So I'm playing with this iPad in the cockpit thing. Lots of possibilities, but how do you see anything in the sun? The screen is just not visible in the sun. Is it just me or does everyone have this issue?
