Hello everyone,
I am considering replacing my head system with a composting system. Does anyone have any information regarding the pro's & con's? Would really appreciate opinions on performance and installation.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi all,
We purchased P365 "sarabrande" from Clay Burt of Greenport, N.Y. (long island) in 2009 and renamed her "heidi odeal". The hull number in 377 and she is moored in Wickford, R.I. This is a great site & all of you have provided a tremendous amount of valuable information. This is our 3rd sailboat & 2nd pearson and absolutely love it.
best regards,
phil garrepy

When we launched Abracadabra in the spring, we had trouble getting the slings to drop out between the skeg and prop. We picked her back up 2 weeks ago to replace transducers. Here at the local yard, the easiest way is to back her in to the lift. It keeps the roller furler away from the crossmember on the lift. The running backs and the mizzen topping lift can be slacked easily. I tied a piece of light line to the rear slings and once the slings were above the bottom of the skeg, held tension on the line and kept the slings against the skeg. The slings slipped in where they needed to be first try. Same drill when we put her back in the water. The slings dropped out with no trouble. It's a simple solution, and it worked well for us...
