I get the same. I find that as the wind builds, I reef the main but leave all the genoa out, until I get to a point at about 20kts+ where I’m just on the jib alone (the boat sails upwind and tacks fine without a main on). Other option is to knock some vang off to get the pressure out of the top of the main.
What do you want to know. I have a 2003 B49, which is basically the same boat
We’re in Bill. Will sort the form.
Good advice, thank you.
Might we worth taking the prop off and having the balance checked.
Another thought is that Charles Bacon had a new Gori folding prop for sale which came off his 37. Don’t know if he still has it available (in the for sale section), but might we worth the upgrade anyway.

Hayling Yacht Co.From what I can understand, they come out after 7 years still looking like new. The question is – do you want to risk one letting go on you?
A bit like cambelts.
You have to remove the 5 screws aroundthe lip, and then it will just lift out.
There are no known issues with that model of boat.
I’ll put it up on the Facebook page for you. Quite a lot of people look at that.

Thanks for posting that Jonathan
My log has been tempremental for about 5 years now, and I got to the point of taking the transponder out and giving up with it. I’ll certainly try your fix now.
I bet there are loads of boats out there with this problem, and people buying new when they don’t need to.
Good work, and thanks.

Hi Paul
Also be aware that the foam gasket goes hard and starts to crumble. If you still find that you have a leak, you’ll need to remove the window and re-bed it using Abromast Butyl sealant (I had to do it with all of mine).

I believe that the domain and/or hosting expired. There is a chap trying to get it back online again, and we have offered our help.
Let’s hope it’s not lost.

Hi Marji
I’m pretty sure that it will be a unit made by VDO.
You can get a straight replacement (as the link below) or get a dip-tube type.
Are you going to write me an article for the next yearbook?
