[C320-list] #3 Headsail

[Chef Adam Weiner]

Have not raced.  

Have used an 80% Sobstad in winds over 25k repeatedly.  Works well with one
reef in main.

I have (hull 218) cabin top tracks.  Problem is they do not provide a good
lead to either cabin top winches or to primary winches.

Has anyone racing had success with using a # 3 headsail in winds over 18 K?
I have the cabin top track......thinking of using a 90% for the best lead.
Thanks!

You can buy the gauges and freon at any auto parts store and at Sears. There
is a high pressure side and a low pressure side and fittings at the
compressor. You can probably google instructions, or find them in the
public library for certain. The compressor will have the labeling for the
correct kind of refrigerant. One major problem with a leak is that if the
pressure goes to zero, moister can enter the system and it will not
function.
