			<link>http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1517/t/Dutchman-Mainsail-Cover.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ The former owner of our boat (#328, a pullman 2-cabin) did not repair the Dutchman monofilament lines between the topping lift and the boom when they broke.  Then, he replaced his &quot;Dutchman&quot; mainsail cover with a &quot;standard&quot; cover, with no openings for the Dutchman lines to pass through.  We are repairing the Dutchman and thought it would be an easy matter to get some local canvas shop to add a couple of zippers to the existing mainsail cover to accommodate the lines.  But,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am considering replacing the main halyard.  It has been repaired once and is now very stiff.<br>
            <br>
            I have heard that it should be replaced with one size smaller, stronger line.<br>

            Would appreciated hearing from you folks with your advice and experience.<br>

			<title><![CDATA[ Not Halyards banging ]]></title>
			<link>http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1519/t/Not-Halyards-banging.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ There was recent discussion regarding halyards banging inside of the mast and the concensus was due to the bend in the mast.  However, I have a new twist.  Using the scientific method of placing my ear to the mast, the sound appears to be coming from much lower; near where the boom attaches to the mast.  I thought all the wires were routed through a pipe or channel.  Any thoughts?<br>

I was told the &quot;sailwharehouse&quot; has them for about $2000 new. I think they are listed as &quot;Pro Stock&quot;. For coastal sailing are these any good.

			<link>http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1526/t/Luff-pads-sown-into-Catalina-155-furling-headsails-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hull #855 came with a 155% Catalina furling headsail.  I'm in the process of readying for a Bahamas trip Fall of 2006 and have heard the winds can blow steadly 20 Knots +.  When beating in these force winds on the Chesapeake I reef the jib to ease the heel on the boat.  The shape of the semi-furled jib is wrinkled and the airfoil shape is pretty much in question.  Has anyone had the pads sown in the luff that are supposed to give the furled sail a better foil shape?  In short, does it work?... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am in the process of purchasing a used asymetrical spinnaker off a 38' Morgan.  It is just slightly small for the 42, but I have tested the sail and it will be fine for cruising.  Can anyone recommend a good sock for the sail.  I have heard the ATN is the best but I have no experience with it.  I have also looked at the Chute Scoop, but have no experience with it either.  Any recommendations as well as vendors would be appreciated.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am soon to do a Hood 915 to 900 SL roller furling conversion to provide reefing.  How do you handle the cockpit end of the line?  I envision a block aft of the winch to allow use of the winch to bring the sail in and some form of cleat to maintain the amount of reef set.  How is this best accomplished?<br>
            <br>
            In my previous boat, there was a block system which had a pulley and a lever actuated cleat which would maintain the reef.  This was mounted flat on the deck... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have just purchased a SL upgrade for my hood furling system and need to obtain a line to operate it.  I have done a bit of research on the various companies available, but for this application it seems like stretch is less of an issue than a halyard.

			<description><![CDATA[ Cat's Paw, 1998 C42mkII (hull no. 627), was commissioned with two internal headsail halyards.  One of the two mast entries for these internal headsail halyards is marked &quot;spinnaker halyard&quot; on the Charleston Spars (Isomat?) mast.  I don't recall the configuration at the masthead, but are the two internal headsail halyards lead differently at the masthead crane so that one of these two halyards is more appropriate for raising an assymetrical spinnaker? ]]></description>
