Hi Ken If you're implying that more water is being left behind than with the original separate float switch then I think you're probably correct! However, I also suspect that most of the water was previously draining via the screw holes in the base of the sump. I'm mostly happy with the setup, but m...

Thanks Bill. Good to get some thoughts on the stability with supporting halyards. I was imagining might want to put them back straight away so would measure them yourself on the dock and send the measurements to a rigger instead of the actual rigging.

Thanks Ken. Appreciate the thoughts on the value of the owner manual specifications. There are lots of updates applicable from specific hull numbers across multiple pages, so it's very hard to tell which ones would even apply. That's before you consider whether they're accurate. Given how many trips...

Just got a reply from the author of that post who has since updated it to explain that the limitation is indeed due to the need to measure the existing rigging. So if you had a documented set of specifications you could potentially do this all at once with the mast up with finished rigging from a pr...

Apologies for what might be a very obvious question. I'm currently thinking about how I might replace the 20 year old standing rigging on hull number 55. One of the options is to replace the rigging with the mast up and based on some preliminary reading it doesn't sound like it would be too hard. I ...
