Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
It seems odd there is no adjustment, but if that is the case, I'd re-rig it. It wouldn't be hard and I could walk you through it. In the meantime, you could add some length just by putting a short length of rope with a sheet bend to the original part. I'm not telling you anything you don't know. But...

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
Great stuff, Jaysen. A disappointment? yer on the water, got a wife that will go along. No worries.
In the picture of the main, it looks as though the topping lift might be taut. You don't want that.

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
OK, got it. Fall guy is not wrong, but there is a downside to having the sink drain above the waterline, which is that the sink will probably only drain when at a berth or anchor. At least, it won't drain when you are heeled and the sink is on the low side. Maybe this isn't something that would both...

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
I feel like I must be missing something. All thru-hulls beneath the waterline should have ball valves. All hoses should be double-clamped with 100% stainless clamps. All should have soft wooden plugs on a lanyard next to the thru-hull. The white stuff around that pipe (what is that, galvanized??) gi...

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
I couldn't find what kind of plywood you decided on for the companionway boards.

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
Jaysen, great job handling this misadventure. :D Anchors are great safety gear. Tell me again why you don't have the anchor on the bow ready to release? I have rebuilt an outboard carb. Not that big of a deal. Nonetheless, I'm with you on the pro at this point. He'll probably run through everything ...

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
My concern is the force on the deck more than the entrance to the cleats. Lewmar has little mounting data for the classics I purchased so I had to use the EVO (same sizes) directions. They indicate that the mounting needs to be "directionally aligned with the force applied". I don't know ...
