rdder clunk Ya we had that but it was an easy fix, also I helped a friend in Trinadad with his. We took the rudder off, you have to take the the steering quad off, and also loosen or remove the cables, just a tight job. While you are there check that the cable pulleys are properly attached...

Good pick Good pick!!!! Jeff and Shasta you guys picked a great boat, I took delivery on mine Nov 11.1977, in Marine Del Rey, Ca. I have lived on her ever since. My wife and I have been cruising since 1997. I have pretty much worked on most everything on the boat. You know that it's just a...

OH YAAAA I spent a lot of years watching it from Marina Del Rey. We just had a cold snap here, it was 79.8 last night I thought it was going to snow.:egrin::cheers:

Rick, you would not be sorry. It would only take about another week and a half if you didn't stop, but that's impossible because there are too many nice places to stop so it could be 2/3 months. Have a nice trip.

We stopped here for a short stay, no cold weather my kind of place. We thought it would be a good place to hang out and do some up grades. they had Nida-core here for the hard top for our dodger. great place, we found a place to stay. Check our blog that my wife keeps up...

Freeze warning Sail to Panama!!!!!!!!!!:egrin:The rum is cheep and the weather is goood:cheers:

Cruising no matter what boat My wife and I have been cruising sence 1997. We have encountered several E38's but no Cal40's. IMHO I think the Cal40 would make a good cruiser as long as you don't load her down too much. It's just a matter of what you require from a boat, just keep in mind she...

rudder worries So, I did this just a few years ago in Venezuela, and a friend in Trinadad did his. I removed the rudder by lifting it up after taking the bolt out of the hinge. It took a line from the davits to the top of the rudder and 2 or 3 guys to guide it to the ground. The pin was oval...

I have had my E36c for 34yrs. I took delivery no 11/11/1977 in Marina Del Rey, Calif. Now we are cruising and using the boat properly. Check out our blog http://boatbumms.blogspot.com/

Thanx Loren and Sven; Thanx for the info. Seems like I just need more practice. Just a learning curve.

I realy don't know what I'm doing Sven. :headb: I was trying to answer Matt don't how you got it. Guess I was looking at the inverter thread.

info Google" Boatbumms" I don't think they like us to post personal blogs on this forum :egrin:

Cruising We are cruising and are mostly at anchor but for the next year or so we are on a mooring in Puerto Linda, Panama, google Boatbumms for location.

36c paradise Matt; Good to see you are going to put another 36C back to work. I don't hit this site too often as there is not much interest in our boat and that's probably because they didn't make that many. Anyhow, I have owned and lived on my 36C for 34yrs and are now cruising as of 1997...

Correct me if I'm wrong.looking at this photo it looks as if you are using the stay sail boom as a pole to hold out the jib. Never thought about it but with a small jib it looks like it works. In calm conditions I put genoa on one side stay sail on the other and main on the other. sounds weird...
