[C38] Spreader Problem / Sail Re Cut

[dmills3 at comcast.net]

I didn't pay too much attention to it but from what I remember it seemed to have two beads, the one at the edge was pretty small and then about 3/4 inch back there was a bead about the size of a #6. I was wondering if they could have just cut off the small bead but then I guess the material would have to be glued at the larger bead. It was just better to replace the whole luff tape.

Mark, It's Dan #108 on Middle River, I would like to recommend Chuck O'Malley and Doyle Chesapeake Sailmakers, 222 Severn Av, Suite 2 in Annapolis. I bought a very nice used light air jib from Sailing Anarchy and the LP measured 6" oversized. They did a good job trimming the leach to make it legal at a decent price. I also bought a used a C38 jib on ebay and Doyle had to change the luff tape from Gemini to a #6. They do very good work. I do some PHRF racing and belong to CBYRA and Doyle gives a 20% discount to CBYRA members.

Hey C38ers... 

One for the whole group: 

My first row / lower spreaders are angled funny. They are both 
pointing down to the deck enough to be noticeably odd-looking. When I 
got the boat the port side spreader was angled down slightly, but the 
starboard was fine, now they both seem to have settled at a downward 
angle. Not horrible, but obviously not right. 

So.. how to I fix that? And, is there a standard angle at which they 
should be set? 

One for the Maryland guys: 

I need a recommendation for a loft to repair and re cut my Genoa and a 
jib. My long-time loft has basically gone out of business, and I am 
looking for a new one. I have a radial cut North Sail 150% that needs 
cleaning, repair and needs to be re cut (it's too big up top. can't 
sheet it in enough to get close angle without it resting quite tightly 
on the top spreader.)  I also have a 110% that needs a sacrificial 
furler piece sewn on. 

I was spoiled with my old loft... his prices were unheard of. Now I'm 
scared to shop around. Anybody out there? 

Thanx, 
Mark O'
