I just visited Albert Iturrey's website at www.comhertz.com/abacus and enjoyed looking at the pictures of his boat, modifications made, decorating ideas etc....

Does anyone else have pictures posted on their website. I can't tell you how many times I've visited the Yacht World site and checked out the cat 25's listed for different ideas.

Please post your pictures or web sites for our enjoyment.

Great Pics Guys! I soooooo want to get my elec rewire done and would love to move the panel somewhere else as well. I'm thinking next to the galley bulkhead forward on the port hull above the settee and below the deck overhang. I need to put more stuff on the port side so she won't list so bad with water in the tank! I'd also love to do that table treatment with the box to store (like my friends Newport 33) cups and coozies, bottles too! I guess I'm going to have to take a woodworking course and learn how.

Here's a few shots over the years. I just put the dodger back up this weekend and need to get some new shots. Plus there should be some sailing pics coming from a friend from this last saturday.

I'm enjoying looking at the pictures, and would love to share pictures of osmepneo, but have two problems:

1. I don't think I have any pictures of her in digital format

2. I don't have any idea how one would load a picture. could someone take a few moments and share that for me? thanks.

Hi Don,

I just sent you an email with photo-posting instructions. I have submitted the instructions as a Tech Tip, but I haven't heard back from Mark Melchior yet ... so, my email will have to do for now.

BTW, if you don't have any digital pictures of your boat, you can use a scanner to "digitize" some photos ... if you don't own a scanner, a friend with a scanner could help you out, or places like Kinko's will scan photos for a fee.

Let me know if you run into any problems ... good luck!

Love that spinnaker, Duane! Is that an asym? drifter? cruising spin? If you don't mind, what are the measurements? I'm thinking of asking santa claus for one!

EVERYONE: Great Pics, this is fun, I hope more show and tell!

On which Boat...The Spinaker on Tsunami would make a Great Tarp over the entire Catalina 25....

Lets See ....measurements ---
Let me start by saying that the sail you see there is a tri Radial racing spinaker being flown similar to that of a cruising spin...There is a 4 foot rope on the tack and you sail it like a really big jib downwind. The only reason we did this was because we didn't have the pole rigged at the time, and it is easier to play with.

Side note
<center>
The spinaker you see there is a J-24 Racing chute...It is one of three (j-24's) that we use. We got them all Free so we weren't complaining. Our initial thought was thatwe would practice with the smaller free spinakers and not blow out a brand new one while learning. We were then suppposed buy a new one. We had the opportunity to throw up an Etchells spinaker on the C-25 which is within a few inches of the recommended tri-radial size for our boat. We found that with only two guys, (which is how we sail most of the time) its easier with the J-24 sail. We have a slightly larger spin pole, and raise the chute 6" off the top and it handles like a charm...</center> 

The actual measurements for a spinaker on the C-25 are Standard rig leachs of 29 feet 3 and one half inches--(Tall is 31 feet one inch) and a foot of 18 feet 10 and 3quarter inches. And handles great for racing etc.

All of that having been said, if you aren't going race, buy yourself a cruising spinaker or a genaker.. (same thing really).....

I would have usually recommended Cruising Direct, but with the nonsense of late...I would call a local loft for a good price.

Secure the main Brace?????????? Since Captain Evan doesn't look old enough, he should probably take the tiller from dad so dad can go to the galley and Splice the Main Brace. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Buzz do you think you could e-mail me the instructions too Please? I haven't had the time to figure out how to post pictures on my internet providers server. It is possible I e-mailed them about it but the directions went into technobabble and here it is a year later and I have a few pictures I wanted to post. BTW I sent you an e-mail via the forum did it make it through? I haven't had much luck sending e-mails that way.

Just so everyone knows what we are talking about.....
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>In days of yore, the great ships of the sea were propelled only by the wind in their squaresails. The sails were attached to spars called 'yards' and the lines to trim the sails were called 'braces'. These ran from the end of each yard to the deck. The 'Main Brace' was the largest and heaviest of all the running rigging, and to splice it (when required) was one of the most difficult tasks on board ship. And so it was that to those who 'Spliced the Main Brace' went a double issue of rum. In time, the expression became synonymous with a double issue of Pusser's Rum. Before the year 1800, the order to "Splice the Main Brace" was always given for a Fleet Review, a Royal birth, or under difficult conditions of cold and fatigue -- and usually just before battle as described in the naval ballad of 1805. In more recent times, this old expression is sometimes used by sailors as an invitation to board a vessel or enter private quarters for free drink and hospitality -- and to say to a friend, "Let's 'Splice the Main Brace'!" is synonymous with, "Let's have a drink!"

Thats where I've heard it!!!!

I have a Pussers Rum tin mug with sailing terms on it. Splice the main Brace is on there.

Okay! If the main brace is part of the running rigging, then wouldn't it need to be secured once in a while?

Hi Ray,

'Sorry I didn't respond sooner ... I finally got to splash my boat last week, and I've been out there every day since ... 'got behind on the Forum. And no, I didn't get your email ... I've also had problems using the email links from the Forum (now I just copy and paste the email addresses, which seems to work OK).

Anyway, I'll send you an email with the instructions ... let me know if you have any problems.

Good luck!
