[C38] New Owner w/Roller and prop question

[Patrick Harpole]

When you turn in your old one, Hood will give you approximately 50% off on a
new roller/furler.  I did it last year.

We (Dan & Marcy Miller) recently purchased C-38 Hull #108 "Blonde Stranger".
I'm sure it has the original Hood Roller Furling.

Was it a #6 or #7 luff tape system? If it was a #6, could a #7 fit or would
it be too tight? I've read in other listserve questions here

that a Martec 16x12 is overpropped for the boat. We will be bringing the
boat to the Chesapeake Bay where it is rare to have

5 and 6 foot seas. I have the oportunity to get an 18x12 Martec III. If I
would normally run the 2454 engine between 1800 and

2200 rpms, do you think I would be okay? In my experience on the bay, most
storms only have the oportunity to generate

3 and 4 foot seas. My direct email is millsdan at verizon.net . Any and all
replies would be appreciated. I'm also sure I will be asking more questions
in the future. Thanks, Dan
