The J/109 Class Association Forum

Has anyone created a list of parts that go into the mainsheet block system that sits at the center of our travelers? I am thinking I should put together a spares kit considering the age of my system.

Thank you!

What is a good way to mark the boom vang to repeat settings?

The 109 is a great class to be in. Someone will be very lucky to own this boat.

To close the thread, the problem turned out to be a loose v-belt between the pump and engine.

I meant the question to be about the window, having used windows for ropes, I am imagining this maintenance task of the seals is in my future
Where to get the parts, what labor and tools is involved to do it myself, what to look out for, how much time does it take?

Oh, is that maintenance task ahead of me

Thank you!

Blue Performance has very good halyard bags that came with our J/109, but we have migrated to sending the lines down the windows and companionway at the urging of our sailmaker, and have found no downside to that. We did try a halyard bag on the wall of the head to keep the lines off the floor, but ...

Thank you Bill

Is this the correct / standard location for the furling block. It isn't 90 degrees from the drum as recommended by Harken.

Sometimes I our drum won't unfurl the last turn and requires manual effort by the crew. Wondering if I could make the problem go away.

Thanks!
