Thanks to the smart previous owner, my 42 #415 was fitted with a halyard winch on the mast. Without all the extra paraphernalia associated with bringing the halyard back to the cockpit I can raise the sail by hand and use the winch for the final tensioning.

I understand this is a common problem with the 42, but has anyone solved this. As far as I can tell the water in the bilge is coming in through the top of the Mast. I remember it being quite open when it was installed. I installed a check valve in line from the pump to prevent back flow , and that helped alot.

I was recently talking with Gerry Douglas about his C42 that is parked near mine and the topic of hot water came up. He recently put some household type (read: Home Depot) pipe insulation on most of his hot water lines throughout the boat. He says it keeps water much warmer once some hot water has been run.

I own a 1990 42 for about three years. It came with a 5KW Genset in the port lazarette. It sits low and to port by a few inches. I put 200 lbs of lead in the anchor locker and it helped a little. I didn't want to add any more. Moving the water line is an option. Any other suggestions out there? Is it possible to move batteries forward? -Fred

The ladder on my C36 rusted thru from trapped saltwater. After repairing it, I drilled drain holes near the hinge to drain water when the ladder was stowed. Has anyone had a similar problem with the 42 and if so where have you drilled drain holes? Any reason not to?

We've had some discussion on this forum about Moonspun's problems. Their loss of the rudder under normal sailing conditions gives me some worry. It sounds like they had some fairly heavy going on their trip to Hawaii but most of the trip was not too bad. In any event, no boat should ever lose it's rudder unless it hits something very dense very hard.

I changed the oil and filter on my cat 42, and put four quarts back in. This brought the oil level on the stick to approx. 1/4 inch above the lower level. The manual says 2.5/7 liters. Previous owner said that he replaced with four quarts. Should I be using more oil and bringing the level to the top mark on the stick?

We want to get a new 135% jib to use in addition to the 95% that came with our 1990. It was probably original equipment. What's been your experience with Catalina loft sails as opposed to other lofts such as North, Banks, etc. Might also be looking at replacing our main in the next year or so.

Thanks for your help.
