RE: [Cal_Boats] Mast winch pads for Cal 29

Jim, have you thought about bringing those back to the cockpit. Extremely handy. Especially for the chute. Take Care Charlie annapolis From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of cal29_628 Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 6:02 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [External] [Cal_Boats] Mast winch pads for Cal 29 Anyone know where I could get a mast winch pads for the cal 29 to accommodate a barient 10? My boat has one on the port side for the jib. I would like to add a second on the starboard side for the spin halyard. Thanks, East Coast Cal 29 sailor Jim ------------------------------------ Yahoo!

I appreciate the suggestion about leading aft, but I have never liked the halyards going back to the cockpit. I sailed j/24 where everything was on the mast and I liked it. It spreads the crew out and makes the cockpit a more open area for trimmers and the helmsman. It also makes mast man and foredeck person a close team. I did similar things on other big boats and liked it. I am thinking of putting a double harken cleat on the mast up high so that in most condition it can just be jumped and cleated, but would like the winch and horn cleat as a backup in a blow.
