Re: F40 AC CK Lifting Keel Line/Cable
Hi again, I'm still looking for assistance in regards to my lifting keel retrieval line/cable. Rather than trying to find someone to splice a new cable into the line, I'm considering replacing the entire length with Dyneema. Does anyone out there have experience doing this? Any guesses what diameter...

When I purchased my F40 AC CK back in September, the Starboard and Stern running lights were busted; the Steaming light was missing and, the Anchor light was not working. This mont...

Re: On Deck Staysail badly Freedom 21
Hey Ian, I had the same problem on Teke's Pride. The way I handled it was to add another halyard to the front of the mast below the spinnaker halyard and a ringbolt to the cross bar of the pulpit. This meant recutting the staysail due to the now shorter luff but, with the addition of a small roller ...

F40 AC CK Lifting Keel Line/Cable
Hi all, My F40 came to me in a bit of a state... Among the issues is the line/cable for lifting/lowering the keel. Long before I bought Black Finn, the cable broke off at the splice between the line and the cable. Can someone please let me know the diameters and lengths of line and cable I need for ...

Re: Reef lines on CC45
Will this be the same for my 40 AC CK? I've been trying to figure it out since I bought her in September. The previous owner used her for a party barge and, from what I can tell never sailed her. I need to replace most of the lines and many of the blocks. Does anyone out there have a complete riggin...

Re: F44 centerboard version FOR SALE
Greetings Sven, I'm still about 18-24 months away from making the step up from my F21 to a 40 or 44 but, I have some questions about the 44 if you have the time...
