Hmmm, maybe I’m just lucky, but that’s never happened on Kristy. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM243

Ryan (and everybody else) The one thing I hate about this forum host is the totally AWFUL search capabilities it has. It took a bit of digging to find, but here is the link to the rigging procedure

If we are sailing on a broad reach less that AWA <145d, I don’t usually rig a preventer. Anything aft of 145d I do. If we were on a broad reach at AWA 135 the car would be all the way over. The

Ian, The wife of the previous owner of our boat had her wrist broken by the spinning mainsheet traveller handle. I am not sure if a jibe was involved in the accident but the pin that locked the

Hi Bill, Thanks for the info. I really don't want to try to slack all my rigging and start from scratch. I'm not sure I'm strong enough to get it back tight again, and I also don't trust that the

Hi. I would not choose to lift that button before a gybe as the car sliding across to a sudden crash stop increases the impact on all involved items including mainsheet boom attachment. I always gybe

Thanks. I forgot to mention that. It could easily be a broken bone the speed the winch handle would go! Ian

Thanks Joel, that explains it. I will ask Amel.SAV. All the similar ones on-line appear to be 12 Volt, but I think for the Amel 24 volt system I just need to change the bulb to an appropriate 24 Volt

Hi Paul, On Kristy, there are five 24-12v converters. One of the green Sailors is marked Permanent. It is always connected directly to the battery bank and allows your AM/FM radio to hold it’s

Hi Derick. When your SM53 #400 was built for me originally, I ordered optional lights for both the cockpit port side locker and the stern locker. Amel had a fairly extensive list of options that we

That sounds like a good idea. One build on that recco however, you either want to have removed the winch handle or make sure the area is well clear, as the winch will spin very fast as the traveller

One minor point if you haven’t come across it. If your main sheet traveller is across when running (I assume we all do that) - if you know you are about to crash gybe, just lift the button on the

Hello! We have three 24 volt converters under the navigation table, market blu, Inmarsat and instrument. The strange thing is if I close the circlet breaker for each of them, I still have 12 volt on
