Hi Samba

Just to
follow up your worries on the sea cocks I must admit I am in the same
situation. I did inspect all sea inlet and outlet today and all are of the NS58
type.  You probably got the same? Have you found a product you will use?

Has also
looked closer at the rudder shaft and there are some indication of galvanic corrosion.
I believe it will be sufficient to clean it down to the metal and use the same
primer I use on the sail drive and finally the anti fouling for aluminum in the
area close to the shaft.  My main anti fouling
is VC17 which is copper based, so will keep that on distance from the shaft.

	here are some pictures of the setup of our babystay this is inside the anchor locker. the profile is attached to the deck and the wall to the bedroom In the bedroom a polished contra plate is attached to the profile The tensioner, a wichard ratchet is hooked on deck. when not in use i can "store" the stay alongside the mast. on the spreader an outhaul is installed to prevent the stay to tick against the mast all the time just above the second spreader they made a sheavebox into the mast. it includes the halyard. The stay is made of Kevlar, the jib is app. 13m2 and runs on the selftacking rail (which i do not use for my standard jib as this is a 107%). In normal weekend sailing the stay is attached alongside the mast, but with longer trips over sea it is installed including the jib so i can set it up quickly, I can install it from the pit. Last year returning from Sweden with some 20 - 25 knots coming from 40 degrees i installed the stormjib going into the night and on autopilot it ran easily 7 knots the whole night through. Bandy

	Bandy, Many thanks for your pictures and advises. Just now I have been more focused on the rudder shaft and the inspecting the sea inlet valves. The rudder shaft got some damages as you can see from the pictures. I trust I got it stopped by a two component primer for aluminum and anti fouling for aluminum. I have also found that all inlet valves are of the type NS58. To get the status I demented the on for sea inlet to the WC. I could not find any damage to the valve nor the bend, I just cleaned it remounted. However what I found was the it was used only a single hose clamp on the T splitting at the sea inlet water to the pantry and the WC. I believe this is an original installation. Anyway now dual hose clamps are in place before it is time to again go to the water Problems with pictures again, I will try to upload pictures later. regards Jøvani
