Cal 39

Hello, We have a Cal 39, built in 39 and sailing from 1985. The name of the ship is Lucia. The former name was Perfect Speed. I'am looking for more information about the ship. Who were the first owners? Trips? Cor van Leeuwen signature --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

I own hull 154 and totally love the boat. I am looking at little tweeks... and could use some sage help. I wondered if anyone knew the manufacturer of the mast/boom on a 1983 Call 39? Standard rig. The end cap needs to be replaced/rebuilt as one of the two tangs above the reefing blocks broke. I would also like to find a better 'outhaul'. The previous owner went to loose footed and went with a low tech, high-friction outhaul. 10 inches of track and a car with bearing would make this better. Any ideas? Thanks, Sam

I don't understand what you are saying " 10 inches of track and a car with bearing would make this better " But, mostly the new sails that are lose footed use a Velcro strap to hold the sail down to the boom and an outhaul to pull it back. No car. If I didn't have a wood boom that is what I would do. I would recommend something like 20:1 on the outhaul either with a cascaded block arrangement or a winch. Mine comes back to the cabin and is 4:1 x 5:1. The newer boats seem to have internal cascaded pulley arrangements and then exiting the boom a few feet aft of the mast.

I have hull 162 with what I believe is the original spar setup. My spars were made by Kenyon. A company called RigRite has acquired the rights to the Kenyon name. Personally, I would rather sink my boat than do business with RigRite. There are plenty of good companies out there that can make replacement spars. My outhaul is an arrangement with a "car" like device that runs in the same track as the foot slugs. This device is connected to a cable which enters the boom at the aft end and is attached to a fiddle block. The purchase arrangement is inside the boom. In the attached picture the arrangement is laying on the boom. The forward end of the boom is to the left. The single block is attached to a bolt which goes through the boom at the hole to the left of the block. The outhaul adjustment line exits the forward end of the boom over a sheave. There is a winch on the mast between the gooseneck and the deck which works for the reefing lines or the outhaul. Anyway that's my setup. If you have questions or want more pictures drop me a note.

So if anyone know s. Anything Or any history of this Cal 39 mark ll Thanks Edward..Cal 39 DISCOVEREY

My Cal 39 Nereid (home port now Norwalk CT), also started at West Indies Yachts. I do remember another Cal in that fleet with the name Discovery, so I expect that yours has the sam*e* tricabin, dual head, short rig layout as mine. Looks like she has traveled around quite a bit in the ensuing years. Do you have any idea how it got back to the west coast?

Yes, the boat has always been Nereid. One name and one owner. It was October of 1978 that I bought the boat with a friend (bought his interest out a few years later when he moved to AZ), so it's been 40 years now, hard to believe. Have sailed in LI Sound since 1983. Still love the boat. I'd be curious if you know the cost of trucking the boat from the TX to CA. I'm pretty sure all the Cal's in the West Indies Yacht fleet were trucked from CA to FL first.

Curious if anyone knows the exact replacement anchor bulb for a 1978 Cal 39 Mark II? Attached is a picture of the steaming light 3/4 up the mast… its an older 12v Festoon bulb. But is the anchor light the same? Long story, but the answer will save me two trips up the mast in the bosun chair. Thanks in advance! [cid:C7… [at] hsd1.wa.comcast.net] Sean S/V AIOLOS Seattle, WA

Don't know off hand; I just went up to replace my spreader light with one. Low risk approach is to take one out and to West Marine (or equiv) for size comparison. With the corrosion, you might consider replacing the entire lamp with a LED version.

Just looking at the photo, it appears that the filament is intact but the terminals on the bulb are corroded. You may just need to clean those up and apply some sort of anticorrosion goop to keep the contacts good. But if you're replacing the bulb, why not go with LEDs? I was surprised to see a wide assortment of drop-in LED replacements at West Marine a few weeks ago. Practical Sailor has had some recommendations for conductive anticorrosion grease, as I recall.

For sure... going LEDs. Just not sure if the anchor masthead bulb is the same...

I look at the photo and see all of the damage around the edges and the corrosion, and wonder if the lens is crazed and foggy.It's clear the fixture has retained water for some time - algae in the lower left cornerIt's not an expensive lamp fixture, and is an easy drop-in replacement. I replaced the steaming lamp on my Cal 2-27 this Spring because the lens was in bad shape. By buying the whole fixture, I got a new lens, new bulb, and new contacts. A short piece of dental floss tied onto the wiring before you remove the fixture would be a good idea to avoid losing the wire into the mast (this did happen to me) As for LED's in the steaming light, your motor is running and it will always be running when you use the steaming light. LED's in the nav. lights, certainly, but steaming light? You are going past the steaming light every year when you inspect the rig, and I think I've replaced the lamp once in twenty years (not including replacing the fixture) Harold On Saturday, September 15, 2018, 12:11:50 AM EDT, ccampbell cc… [at] lsnm.org [Cal_Boats] <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: [Attachment(s) from ccampbell included below] Just looking at the photo, it appears that the filament is intact but the terminals on the bulb are corroded.

Looking at your fixture I noticed that it is similar to mine where the bulbs have a dent in the end of them allowing the socket to go into them and hold the bulbs in place The last time I changed my bayonet bulb I was unable to find that type of bulbs, it seems that the socket now accepts a bulb that has pimples on the end rather than dimples I solved the problem by drilling 1/16 inch holes in the old socket to accept the new design.

Attached is a picture of the steaming light 3/4 up the mast… its an older 12v Festoon bulb. But is the anchor light the same? Long story, but the answer will save me two trips up the mast in the bosun chair. Thanks in advance! [cid:xwqXVcDoA2YWpK9KpNnX] Sean S/V AIOLOS Seattle, WA

Hi, Mike. That looked like an incandescent and was 10 watts. An equivalent LED would be under 2 watts.
