RE: Cal 39

I have a Cal 39, Hunt design, 1988 in Annapolis, Back Creek. I have had the boat since '99. Winged keel, 5.5' draft. I am 6'3" and have no problems with headroom. I do most of my own maintenance and so am pretty familiar with the boat. If you have specific questions: wk… [at] comcast.net

Mr. CAL 39, where on Back Creek?

That is exactly the arrangement. A couple of wraps of Velcro. When the sail is loaded up and I want to get more outhaul, it is a chore, or I have to luff up and if I were racing that wouldn't be my first choice. I doubt if I will lead it back to the cockpit as I have the main halyard, main sheet, boomvang, traveler, and four reefing lines already led down the port side.l I don't know if I could or want to fit anymore down that side and the starboard side has no room due to an offset hatch design. On other boat I have owned. The clew was attached to a car on a track. Think of a mast track for the spinnaker poles or the genoa track. 20 to 1sounds good, but 4 to 1 would be adequate. Now I have to sweat the line to get it out. Do you know who actually made the rigs? Cheers, Sam,

I am visual so I appreciate the pics. I will have to look at the harken catalog. Sam
