Yes, its pretty straight forward just like doing a plug on and extension cord, pull the connector, there should be screws holding the nylon plug to the stainless steel fixture, replace the plug and put it back together. You might want to use some dielectric gel or past on the connections to help fight corrosion

Hey all, I have what appears to be a Hubble deck power connection that has
gone south. I noticed that there is a internal rebuild part available, has
anyone done this? It's about half the cost of a whole new unit.

That's a little odd, we have two jib halyards which lead to the front of the mast, a port and starboard spinnaker halyard which are connected to the bales on the crane at the top of the mast. We have had fouling problems with spinnaker halyards especially when trying to un furl the jib after a jibed with the spinnaker, the halyards do tend to get caught up if you are not careful when un furling. Typically we deploy the spinnaker behind the jib and then furl, when taking down the spinnaker we un furl and drop it behind the jib, hence the problem if we have jibed.

Thanks All for the comments.
We have two jib haylards of which we use the port halyard for the roller furling top drum. We use the starboard spinnaker halyard which I believe is run through a block above the jib sheave and then led into the mast with a chrome plated fair lead thingy. We did not have a ball on spinnaker halyard and that may have been the main issue if the splice got caught too tightly in the block. I plan to add a ball to the halyard, go aloft for a look around and see if there are other improvements to be made. I would like to add a port side external spin halyard soon as I would like to have the ability to peel if needed, but I need to have a new mast collar constructed with additional mounting points for another block. Maybe a good winter project.
David. I'm interested in the North ¾ and maybe some of the headsails. I could come up from San Diego for pick up. If you could contact me of the list at jsorensen at novarx.com we could discuss logistics.
Thanks!....................Jay

Hi Jay,
I agree with Bill, if you are using a jib halyard, that would likely be a problem.
For light sheets, we have just used some small line (3/16" or 1/4"), and tied a bowline with a very long loop (about 4 feet), so that you can tie it on the spinnaker without choking it in before taking the heavy sheet off. You will need to remember to restore the heavy sheet before gybing.
I have all of the racing spinnakers off of SuperStar for sale, including:
Elliot Pattison .6 (1/2oz) Spinnaker, symmetrical, with Superman logo, fair condition. New ~$2,900, asking $450
Elliot Pattison? 3/4oz Spinnaker, symmetrical, with Superman logo, fair condition. New ~ $2,800, asking $400
North 3/4oz Spinnaker, symmetrical, older style cut, very good condition. Asking $750
1.5oz Spinnaker, symmetrical, fair to good condition. Asking $400
These are all in bags (turtles), and shipping costs would be added to the total price. Other sails I have for sail include several headsails, including two carbon fiber jibs, one of which has seen very little use, a jibtop reacher and a fair to good condition mainsail. I also have a bunch of other C38 equipment and parts (the family who purchased SuperStar are not racers). I will try to post a list sometime soon...

Hello All,
We flew our 0.75 oz spinnaker for the first time yesterday during a family sail and have a couple of questions for the group.
1. During the douse the spin halyard got stuck and appeared to be caught on the roller furling gear near the masthead. Is this common? Also, is it normal to roller furl the jib when using a symmetrical chute or do you really need to drop it on deck? I race on a Serendipity 43 and Swan 51 with a deck sweeper jibs that are dropped when flying a chute, and on a J-105 that rolls the jib while flying an asymmetrical, so having a roller furler and a symmetrical chute is new to us.
2. While working to get the chute down we added a few new tears to the many that were there previously so was going to put out a call to anyone who might have a used symmetrical spinnaker(s) (0.5-0.75oz) laying around that they are not using. Will pay a reasonable price plus shipping!
3. And lastly, does anyone who uses very light spinnaker sheets in light air have a preference for light weight shackles. The plastic Lewmar ones we use on the Serendipity tend to open up under load and I thought one of you may have a preferable option?? Or maybe we'll just tie on light line!
Thanks much!
