Re: Finding a swim ladder for Cal 29

Check this one out: http://www.mysticstainless.com/foldaway_pricelist.html Not inexpensive, but looks like a good choice. Alfred Poor 1973 Tartan 34C #288 "Jambalaya" (former owner of 1969 Cal 29 #132 "Pentaquod")

All, I'm looking for a source for replacing the hinges on Magic. I think someone here on the list referred to them as "knife hinges". I found a source 3-4 years ago that were almost identical to the OEM parts, but they were ferrous metal. I bought one set as a test. They fit well, but have now disintegrated (as expected). Has anyone here found a suitable brass or stainless steel replacement??? Other recommendations are appreciated. Thanks! Michael Duvall s/v Magic, Cal 2-27

Piano hinges not knife hinges. Some big box stores (home depot and lowes) carry stainless and brass or try WOODCRAFT they carry up to 3 or 4 foot lengths.

Michael, you could Google McMaster-Carr and type "hinges" into Find box. Multiple materials. Many, many shapes and sizes.

All, I'm looking to add a bulkhead compass and appreciate recommendations of make/models... the good, bad, and ugly. Thanks! Michael s/v Magic, Cal 2-27 Pompano Beach, FL

I just installed a plastimo navigator. Not cheap, but a great compass and you can read it from the cockpit or cabin too.

Michael, I have the plastimo mini contest (it might be the contest which is a little larger) I have had it since 1988 with no problems and since I use a cover when It is not in use the plastic is still clear. I am in fresh water. I also have a KVH sailcomp which works great as long as you have electricity left in your battery.

I installed a Plastimo Contest 100 on my Cal9.2. It required a little extra notch on the bottom to allow the deviation magnet box to fit. Still in good shape with over 8 yrs on it. The down side, they do not make it any more, but you might find on on fleebay etc.... Much nicer than the SUNNTO that I removed from it, craizing of the clear dome etc.....
