Never mind.  Question answered in another location.

Thanks y'all.  I'll relay these suggestions to the captain. 

I would appreciate some ideas on how to tie the dingy while it is on the davits to keep it from swinging while underway.  The captain is considering mounting some hypalon D-rings to the tubes on the side closer to the boat and running straps through those.  We've been running long straps all the way over and under and back to the stern rail, but that process is difficult to say the least. 

Skookster do you have any new thoughts on the c head?

What do you with the contents of the composting toilet that have not had time to decompose when you get to the end of a cruise?

Stew, do you have pics of custom bimini?  We are trying to find solar panels for Rocky.  We are trying to max out the capacity.  The Kyocera ones we like would stick out beyond the davits about an inch each side and we are afraid we would knock them off.

Thanks all, esp Randy. Tried and failed to post pic.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.  As it turns out I have mischaracterized the situation.  There are no wedges under the mast collar.  What he was calling a wedge is actually a white rubber collar that surrounds the mast and drives down between the mast and the mast collar.  I think I probably need to caulk that to keep it in place and then cover with a rubber boot. 

Ahoy fellow Pearson sailors.  We have been experiencing water leaking from the coach roof and out the scupper, out of a light fixture which Ralph had installed over the salon table, out the bottom edge of the hatch frame, and finally discovered water running down the main mast.  He just removed a worn out Sunbrella mast boot cover and discovered that there are wedges driven in to I guess level and seal the space between the sections.  Sorry I can't think of all the names of the boat parts but I know you guys can forgive.  What would be some solutions?

Thanks all for the replies

Yeah, I was wondering about the visibility problem, as well as windage and access to the foredeck.  I looked at some inflatable kayaks at Dicks sporting goods website.  There are quite a few models shown which makes me wonder if these are quite popular.  The captain would not want to use precious battery power to inflate them,  I guess I could just blow and blow.  They are not cheap

Anyone carried one or two 10 ft kayaks on deck?

Replacing or modifying the locker latches behind the settees and the end of the galley counter is now very high on my list.  Our last sail was in April, and we were trying to see how fast he would go.  At approximately 8 knots the lockers came flying open and everything in them was dumped in the floor.  Somewhere I saw a picture of a simple latch made of wood that could not come open.  Thanks in advance for any help, this is a great group.  Rocky's been in the boatyard having a hard dodger made and getting the bottom done.  Hopefully he'll be in the water soon and Ralph says he will post some photos.

I just installed a new wenches above the cubby holes on my ketch.  I had to also install another set block on the aft ends of the tracks to keep the sheets from chafing against the mizzen shroud turnbuckles.
