How many feet do I need to order for my '42, and how many feet should I core?
2. How do you handle the cleating of the line at the cockpit? I previously owner a 32' Benneteau racer that had a pulley/jam cleat mounted behind the winch. Worked great and allowed me to reef under sail pressure with great precision.

I live in Potomac, Maryland which is a suburb of Washington, D.C. The boat is a 1989 3-cabin, wing keel, hull number 108. I keep it in a small marina in Annapolis, MD.

I bought the boat two years ago. It is loaded with gear, including a 4kw genset, reverse cycle air conditioning, radar on a Questus mount, Raymarine chart plotter and radar, Martec feathering prop, PYI dripless shaft seal and flexible shaft coupling,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ragtime) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5279 Thu, 28 Apr 2005 14:17:49 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5278/t/best-value-7-16-quot-line-for-jib-roller-furling-applicatio.html#reply-5278
Agree with Gerry. On Melelana (# 175), I have 3/8 double braid with a stripped core.

To strip the core, tie a knot it the end you're leaving whole and milk the cover back from the other end to expose the core. Continue to slide the cover back (it bunches up as you slide it back). Once you've exposed the amount of core you want to remove, just cut the core. Pull the cover back over to bury the core and stretch it... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (melelana) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5278 Thu, 28 Apr 2005 13:05:12 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5277/t/best-value-7-16-quot-line-for-jib-roller-furling-applicatio.html#reply-5277

On my Hood furler, the furling line is double braided line and has the core removed from the portion of the line that actually rolls on the drum. This is a common practice by many riggers and it helps to prevent overrides on the drum by lessening the build up of too much line on the drum. This probably increases the stretch in the line when under load, but it has not been a problem for me.

The core is not removed from... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ragtime) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5276 Thu, 28 Apr 2005 05:47:29 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1531/t/best-value-7-16-quot-line-for-jib-roller-furling-applicatio.html
