Alden,
Que Linda visited Sucia in 2006 and 2007, but the C38 in the photo is not
she. We have captain navy canvas. I have been surprised at how many C38s
there are in the Northwest.
For those List-serve members from outside Puget Sound, Sucia Island is one
of several Washington Marine State Parks in the San Juan Islands between
Washington state and British Columbia. It is an amazingly beautiful place
to tie up to a mooring ball or anchor in several safe harbors including Echo
Bay in the photo. There are many hiking trails on the island. It is in the
rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and one of the drier places in the NW.
July and August are usually warm and sunny.

So I took this pic up in the sanjuan islands just wondering whose boat it
is.

I'll second that. We had water on every wet day coming into Jace. No
delamination or other problems, but the mess on the cushions at the forward
port settee on the dinette were miserable.
Spar-tite fixed it. And our clay dam is still inplace as well. We had it
done when the mast was pulled and painted. We replaced all the standing
rigging at that time as well.
Someone asked about another location for leaks that caused drops near or at
their chain plates. On JACE the windows were leaking, and the stanchions
were leaking. We redid the windows (thank you Catalina
Direct) and rebedded the stanchions with all new hardware. The leaks
ceased. Last week at the boat we noticed some new drops. Checking it looks
like either the toe rail (I'll need help with that), or the tracks for the
fairleads. That I can do myself, so sometime in the next week or two, I'll
take that off and fix it.
My current project is to add solar panels. I have two 65 watt Kyocera
panels which measuer about 30x25. I am rigging a support across the center
of the dodger (still cloth) which will hold a 1" stainless rail onto which I
will clamp the solar panels. This will add about 25lbs or so to the dodger,
but should be well within limits. The wind loading would not seem to be too
great as a 2" stainless pipe stand with 1"
cross bar is one of the options for most solar installations for panels up
to 60" x 24", so mine should present less than 1/4 that in wind loading
because they will be shielded by the dodger and mast. Time will tell.
I like Max's rigid vang, and that may be one of our next purchases.

I've been told by both the yard and the rigger to be careful with spartite
both commented to make sure you follow the directions and apply vaseline to
the inside of the deck ring. If not they warned that the spartite will
adhere to both the mast and the ring making it extremely difficult to remove
the mast in the future. We just had a new boot put on when the mast got
stepped, if we get water problems in the future I am going to use the
spartite. I like the load deflection characteristics along with all the
reviews about how well it seals.

Somehow, I don't see how Spartite can make the mast partner any more
waterproof than a good mast boot. Am I missing something? I installed a
good rubber mast boot (appropriately sealed) and have had no leaks. I also
did not use any shims when the mast was installed. Can this be a problem?
