[C38] Thru Hulls

[Larry Malmberg]

Steve, could be the engine weight and the required second anchor.  Our
second anchor was a very light one.

Does anyone have any experience with Shakewell type designed thru hulls or
the Forespar Flotech?  Im considering closing up four thru hulls and
replacing at least 1 of the 3 remaining  with the Forespar all in an effort
to find that elusive 1/10 of a knot of boat speed.   The plan is to close up
the one under the Vee berth, the head sink, the macerator and the one where
the knot meter use to be on the stbd side of the keel.   Then to tee the
macerator into the head outlet along with the Head and sump pump,  abandon
the head sink alltogether, pull water from the engine intake for the head
and galley sea water pump, and use the galley sink thru hull for sink
discharge and watermaker.    
 
Also another question I would like input on, for Transpac we had to get the
boat measured in the water, the rater then compared our boat with Larry's to
see how close they were.  Interesting that our stern was about an inch lower
in the water than Hassle.  If you look at Peregrine from the side you can
see the stern boot stripe is in the water or very close.   She does not have
any other gear other than the radar post in the stern.  I did notice on our
last haul out that the skeg seeped the entire time she was out, Im wondering
if it isnt water weight or something else.   Thanks.
