Pearson 365 and 367

We are actively selling our Pearson 365 Blame It On Buffett due to health reasons. Rather than try and describe her here, you can read more about it and see both video clips and photos on the website www.sv-blameitonbuffett.com.

She is probably the most well equipped 365 on the Gulf Coast, and can really move when needed. Last year in the Harvest Moon Regatta (largest Regatta on the Gulf Coast), we won our division, placed 3rd overall in non-spin out of nearly 100 boats, and 7th overall across all classes, including spin and multihull.

Oops. Neglected to answer your earlier question. The CU200 is as you apparently have figured out is the Adler Barber Super Cold Air Machine, and gives you the option of adding the water cooled later if you still think you need it.

The problem seems to be the total volume of air space. If you keep it filled with air, then your cooler will run nearly continuously. I put two or three cases of bottled water down there. Once it is all cooled down it seems to stay that way. Another thing to think about is putting a little ball valve on the ice box drain hose. I haven't done it yet, but I can only imagine how well my biloge has now been refridgerated. I would think that once I quit refridgerating my bilge, i should see significant improvement in the amount of run time.

I put in a new Super Cold-machine and the largest hosrizontal evap unit they had. I mounted the compressor all the way back in the port lazarette (A/C/ mounted the same but on the other side). I can now actually make ICE, and I didn't displace any of the air space below it. My wife wants me too, as she can;t reach anything in the bottom of the ice box. Was thinking of just getting some large foam blocks and cutting them to shape to fill the dead air space, and then putting a shelf in there with a few drain holes inboard and outboard, so any water or spills still ehad for the bilge. Worked graet on the Harvest Moon Regatta, right up until my alternator decided it wanted to quit being an alternator. 8 hours alter it decided that charging was a good idea after all. never have figured out why that happened. It seems to ahve kicked in to full charge when the batteries dropped below 12V, which was actually a little lower than I like them when I bgein charging.

We just had Sea-Tech, the guys who do Capn Navigation software for the Navy and Coast Guard, out for a speech to my squadron dinner (Galveston Bay Sail and Power Squadron). Afterwards, I pinned him down for more info on the antenna and the counterpoint. He said he absolutely goes with the new KISS and the GAM system that others have identified in this thread. He says that they always work. Period. He would not recommend anything else.

I have a split backstay with insulators on one both sides, with another up high.

Ouch. With all of the other great design ideas they had on this boat, why this? And why at the Nav station, where you are most likely to want to get behind walls to run stuff?

Oh well, it's a boat!!    

Thanks Ed. I appreciate it.

I haven't had the issue of the gap in the liner on my 365, but did with nmy Ranger 33. I put all new main cabin port holes in it. If you cut luan playwood (I believe it is 1/8th or 1/4 in thickness) into two inch wide strips, it is very easy to work with. I then put them into the gap to figure out whether I needed 1, 2 or 3 for any spot. You can trim it for the opening with a razor knife. When you are ready, just epoxy them together and to the hull to give you a nice solid mating between the two.

I just read this weekend that an outer wall on a boat can be called a ceiling. Whether it is a wall or a ceiling, what I am referring to is the plastic out wall behind the nav desk. I just noticed that two of my Genoa track bolt heads broke off, leaving just the stub in there. It also happened towards the front on the port side, but the remaining stub on port was easy to get to. On the starboard side, they are up behind that fake wall, and it seems nearly impossible to get to. I have looked around and can;t seem to find any "Master" screws like on the pilot berth wall, that you could just remove and the whole wall comes off.

Has anyone else had this wall off, and how did you do it. I don't want to break anything only to find out that it was some hidden single screw somewhere I hadn't looked.

Speaking of genoa tracks, we all seem to have those stand up Schaeffer blocks on the genoa tracks. I was on a short nine mile race this last Saturday in about 18 knots of breeze when the starboard side sheeve disintegrated. After figuring out that none of the blocks I had would fit over the loop on the genoa track, we managed to finally come up with a jury rig, using a shackle and some old halyard. Just when we were set to do the tack that we were no far overstood on, the port grinder yelled to give it up, as the port side had disintegrated also. Two new healthy Garhauer blocks at just over 110 each....Just thought you might want to take a closer look at yours. The only cheery thought was this could have happened on our "Race to the Border" with me being a hundred miles offshore. Instead, it happened about 400 yards from our club.

Ditto on Ed and Dale. In fact, othe rthen the three ring binders, it stores the same stuff at dock....

Mine already has a door. Not a very "Friendly" place, and I am guessing it could get wet if you were rails in the water with anything in the bilge. However, I found it  agreat place to store otherwise waterproof stuff, such as the West Marine manual bilge pump

Welcome to Galveston Bay Island Jade. There are a number of us here int he bay now. HYC has two.

One thing I found was that what I thought was head stink wasn;t. It was the old saltwater in the bilge, that would barely leak in as a Ichanged from the plug to the knotlog. I ahve found that if I don;t rinse the bilge out after a sail where I have done the changeout, it all smells like sewer. I fI do rinse - no odor. Food for thoguht.

Hey Ed,

Next time you are up at HYC, take a look at the Shannon in the berth next to me (the one from Telltales). They have plexi doors on the outside, with the tracks for the sliding doors inside of that.
