Re: Water Leak at Companionway Door Threshold

sounds like you are missing the wooden threshold on which the bottom hatch board sits

I believe there should be a wood threshold on which the drop boards sit - and it has a lip behind which the bottom board falls from the cabin perspective.

Summer is flying, and now so is the spinnaker. I bought a used one plus pole a couple years back from a friend who was selling his Cal 20. And then it just sat in the boat because I'm usually sailing single handed. But last Thursday I took the afternoon off work and called a friend to go sailing. He had helped me step the mast in the spring. I said "let's try that spinnaker." That meant untangling the rigging that's been dormant for the last 15 years. The pole topping lift was green with algae. The spinnaker halyard had a torn braid cover, but it was a light air day and the core held fine. Everything went as expected, including the usual minor errors with unfamiliar rigging. I was giving a running commentary to my friend, who had never flown a spinnaker, and maybe I did too much talking and not enough listening to myself--especially the part about "outside of everything." But with light air, all errors were correctible. We even got the sail down without dramatics. It is nice having a second set of hands aboard, not to mention a second brain for when mine has gone on strike. I'll buy a new halyard this fall when the mast comes down. Chris Campbell

Chris, There is something mystical about "stealing" the wind under spinnaker. Attached is one of my favorite photos of Magic. A sailing friend of mine flies his tri-radial spinnaker single-handed. It stays totally dry on take-down. He described the steps/procedure to me, but I'm not ready to try it out. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Does anyone have a picture of what this should look like? Was the wooden threshold glued down or was it just sitting on top of the fiberglass?

That was a sweet take down. I wonder what he used to control the spinnaker halyard. Thanks, Michael Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

I think he just cut the halyard. Someone said to take down a spinnaker you pull on one corner, keep one corner secure, and let the other one run free. If you look again, you will see keeps the guy secure until he has all the rest of the sail stuffed in the bag, then he cuts that. But I think he just opened the clutch on the halyard.
