Re: Freedom 30 Diesel Tank

Goose13 thanks for sharing all that info. I'm surprised to hear a single charge gives you 25+ miles.

Re: Spinnaker experience

Mike, I blew mine spinnaker out in the same manner you did. I received quotes from about 6 sail manufacturers and the one I am probably going to purchase from is Precision Sails.

Re: Is this normal

Kommy000, I find on mine even though the engine is running at about 180, my sink will get quite warm also. Somewhere along the boat's life someone removed the heat shield from underneith the sink and therfore the engine heat has direct access to the sink. While the engine is good with 180 degrees, t...

Hoyt F32 rudder bearings

Does any have or know of somewhere to get a schematic of the rudder and bearing assemblies for a 1984 Hoyt 32? I have read various posts in the forums about the packing being the bearing as well as there being delrin bearings. The bolts on my lower bearing ring are maxed out so I need to add new pac...

Looking for a F32 spinnaker

Does anyone have an F32 (Garry Hoyt) spinnaker that they wish to sell? I've now used the gun mount set up with great success but the old spin that came with it has blown up this past weekend. I was hoing to get the rest of the season out of it as using it adds a considerable amount of fun-factor to ...

Re: Hoyt 32 jib stay

Hi Skifree30 and Belanich, Thank you for the input, my assembly is set up per the standard specification and I do not have a topping lift so the clew end sits on the deck. I was able to resolve the issue after by chance running into someone who used to make the camber spar jibs. I explained the situ...
