e-39
Ethan:
I put a fixed 17X13 seems to perform good , yes I think the reason its hard to back down striaght is because the deep part of the fin is so close to the rudder. But it does not go into irons while sailing so I guess it's another trade off.
I would like to hear from someone who has a maxi prop on a E39 or e46 (looks about the same on the bottom) and see how much it helps.
I would hate to spend that much money and not have it make a big change in backing.
I have a manual tranny and I let it freewheel , dosn't seem to slow the boat down a whole lot from the 16X16 folding while sailing , if I had to lock the shaft it would slow it up a lot. ( I tried locking it in reverse, slows it down about 1 knt.)
I can live with the poor backing but if the maxi would really make it back down a lot better I would consider it myself.
Batboy:
The red reaching sail is 3/4 oz looks to be in very good condition.
downwind sail is 11/2 oz also looks to be in very good condition.
Older sails but look good
Martec very good , ran on my boat no vibration and clean and tight.
I have one downwind spinnaker 3/4 oz has hole about the size of a quarter , probably not worth much.
I would sell them all for $600.00
I'm not sure of the cut on the sails yet still have to stretch them out and look at them again.
Is the Pacifica by your name the town of Pacifica?
I grew up in Half Moon Bay, Pillar Point and spent a lot of time in deep sea fishing boats between HMB and SF. in boats. Great place to be.
