a second head sail down wind.
I need to find out why the water heater fresh water exit hose blows off from too much pressure when the engine is running a normal runing temperature? We have to turn off the water pressure when the engine is running. |
| Longest/Notable Voyage | We delivered the boat to our dock in Ventura
from the San Diego Yacht Club. We also sail the Channel Islands and a few trips to Catalina Island on Ventura Yacht Club cruises. |
| Can Share Information about | I can share information on about any subject
except the 12 volt charging system. I obviously need to read more. |
| How Boat Was Named | The previous owner had a son as a surfer who used to surf at a popular surf spot called Wind n Sea. Judy and I have a son who was an avid surfer and the majority of the family liked how it looked on the hull as well as the sound. |
| Comments |
The 34 is a good sailing, well balanced, and comfortable cruiser for us and my son's family. Our previous boat was a 30 O'day, so this boat seems very roomy and more stable. Anyone have any ideas about the water heater problem? The fresh water exit hose comes off the nipple when the water pressure is on and the engine temp is at normal operating temp. |

| Comments | Appreciate comments; The standard horizontal windlass installation does not provide a safe or secure drop or recovery of the chain resulting in overruns of the chain. On engine shut down there is a definite "clank" from the shaft hitting the stern tube-possibly the stern tube was not lined up correctly on installation. Have other members had these problems? |
