Is that rust stains?
 

On a fiberglass boat? The builders musta used cheap bolts.

And notice how the stern had to be squared off so fat lubbers can
crawl and flop aboard a stage.

Hey Robspirt... couple of tips here.

A proper shaped stern ......And rubber baby bumpers that you can order
and get before you Un-shrink wrap your daysailor.

I really, really, really think that's a bad place for a backstay.

No history of problems with that backstay. It's set into a massive hung
of glass and is bulletproof.

And....

No rust stains though I've seen such stains on premium boats with
so-called SS hardware.

It's still not a good spot. It doesn't look "bulletproof" to me. Seems like
it would potentially interfere with using the platform. Certainly not my
first choice for a cruising boat unless you don't own the boat... e.g., a
bareboat.

I'm also wondering if the extra length would increase the spring loads on
the mast and the rest of the rigging.

In Joe's post, it sure looks like rust stains to me.

Typical broker trick, Spray the running rust with ospho and it
dissappears until exposed to salt water again.

you can clearly see dis-coloration around the base of your backstay,
just wait until you get salt water on it again.

Notice Robspirts backstay is clamped off with saddle clamps?
http://www.floridaboats.net/images/3.../slides/5.html

The clown who did it used to many..... and saddled a dead horse.

I thought with a light racer you would want to be able to adjust the
rake of the mast to tweak preformance. The Commode will never win with
that cheap set-up.

If you look at the Japanese Rob and his Radio Girls boat you will see
it rigged properly.

Also notice that the bilge pump is kicking on on the Radio boat?
Indicates that all bennies have bad stuffing boxes, or worse packing
less systems.

No history?

You mean those saddle clamps are stock? An improvement over the stock
fixture?

I would say those clamps are a history of problems!


Nice, deep coloured wood interior on your boat, though. Is that some type of
rich mahogany or some other exotic wood?

Amen!

Bad news...it's just the angle. I have the same pully system shown on
the Jap boat...yup, you screwed the pooch...but MAYBE the driver
retrofitted the original setup while he was at a rest stop along the
way...?

http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/del2.jpg

And where are the rust stains? She was in the water the whole time I
was in FL and I watched her get loaded up. Did the driver also spray
the stains on the way??? He's some nice guy!

Also notice that the bilge pump is kicking on on the Radio boat?


Oh noooo, Mister Bill!!!!! You think that's the bilge pump??? Couldn't
be the engine or AC pumpouts, BOTH mounted aft and starboard, now COULD
IT???

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! The sad part is I can fin REAL problems in
some of the pics and you clownettes can't find ANY!

That's not a 12 point sternlight in the swim platform.

Busted!!

Amen!

You had it re-rigged back to the pulley setup when the mast was stepped.

Great troll fodder!

Amen!

I never admitted doing 35kts in fog Donal...it was 25, and with a
proper radar and local knowledge it is guite safe and is done all the
time.

I guess you think any ships master moving in the fog is "stupid".

That just shows how stupid you are as to the proper use of modern
marine equipment.

Bet you put you wife on the bow tossing potatoes.......... right?

What kind of stuffing box do you have on your bennie Donal?

Joe

I know what you are up to. You actually bought 2 35s5's, each slightly
different.

You are going to drive everyone crazy.

Except me, I figured it out.

Amen!

A sailboat without rust stains is a sailboat that isnt used much. If
rust stains bother you, find another hobby.

Better grades of SS will reduce stains along with correct hardware.
Just about all sailboats have stains somewhere...but they really
shouldn't. I've seen it on very pricey boats. None on my 1st 35s5, but
it's a matter of time. The ladder has some rusty spots.

Could be rust just from the screws in the deck-plate.

Seahag

Thats what I'm thinking, the screws or bolts to the backstay plate for
sure.
You can see the same rust on most 35s5's...Must be cheap french steel.

Joe

High quality French steel from melted down rifles.

Dropped once but never fired.

Amen!

I really don't know! It's about 2.5" in diameter and it is covered
with a
ubber seal. I put a bit of grease into it every couple of years, and
it
doesn't leak. A few years ago it dripped for a while.


Dripless seal as on my boat. Both surveyors called it very reliable and
told me not to mess with it. My bilges are dry and clean...I mean
snow-white clean!

I should take a photo of my bilge for Joe! It is pure white!

I can imagine that Joe's bilge is a pool of rust coloured liquid.

You would be wrong, not long ago I had to replace my water tanks. That
allowed me access and time to put a new haze gray epoxy coat of paint.
Dry as a bone and so clean you could eat off em!
