I had to look something up in my papers from the boat and looked over the order form. On it is an item that I cand place.
Does anybody know what is meant bij "2 voetrailklemmen"? Translated in english this should be "footrailclips"??
This should be part of a "Hanse-pakket" together with an rvx windex.
Do I miss something???

Thanks, I've got those. Can I use those to attach blocks for a gennaker? Ron |

I use them for the blocks from the gennaker. But there has been some discussion in this forum if they are able to take the load.
I had so far no problems at all. ------------- Blake 370

The problem is that the newer Hanses do not have any hole in the footrail, so it doesn't work. ------------- BR Ralf, Ex. 'a mare' H370 |

Can you advise me on where you placed them? First i thought in a place where the sheet will be about in a straight line to the winch. Last week i got the advice to place tge sheetblocks as far back as posible and than back forward to the winch. Also I still don't know if it is wise to have some line stoppers for these sheets, so I can have the winch free if I want to. Has anybody installed stoppers for the gennakersheets?? I can't wait to give it a try, but looking outside I'm afraid I have to wait a while. Ron |

never mount stoppers in a genaker or spinaker sheet!
They must always have a possibility to let them run!
It is about 100 m2 and in a blow it can pul your boat flat , and wenn somone has closes the stopper by accident you might have a very big problem!

@Zeester,
Marcel is absolut right. Do not add stoppers.
To plaxce the sheetblocks as far back as possible is in general not bad, but it depends on the cut of your Gennaker. I have mine mounted about 1,50m from the end of the boat. This is the best position for my gennaker. ------------- Blake 370

Thanks all for the advice. I'll try using the "voetrailklemmen" and you've convinced me not to add some stoppers. Ron |

@ Zeester & Peter-Blake,
Do you put an "acht-knoop" (eight-knot) in your gennakersheet endings ???
|
Posted By: Zeester
Date Posted: 16 February 2009 at 18:06
Yes I do. In all lines that are at risk of being pulled thtuogh the blocks unintentionally I use an eight-knot. Ron |

I never put a eight nut in a spinaker sheet so i can have it slipped all the way wenn nesesery.
I do make a eight nut in every halyard.

It is not common (done) to have an knot at in genacker or spinacker sheets. Safety rule.

Gregor,
How do you prevent the lazy sheet to slip out the block?

@Ron: make sure they are long enough. Sorry, in Dutch. Als de genacker of spinaker wind vangt zodanig dat de boot plat dreigt te gaan, dan moet alles los, of die lap in het water terecht komt, dan wil je dat er geen kracht meer op de schoten staat. Blijft dat er wel, dan zijn de gevolgen vele malen erger. Ik heb dit geleerd tijdens/door wedstrijdzeilen. Het heeft puur met veiligheid te maken.
In de genua, fok, grootzeil e.d. leg je/ik wel een knoop. Wel een soort 8, omdat de 8-knoop makkelijk losgaat. Groet, Gregor ------------- Uisge Beatha Currently sailing Dehler 36 JV (2002) Previous boat: Hanse 311 #80 http://www.uisge-beatha.eu" rel="nofollow - http://www.uisge-beatha.eu |

In addition to the discussion of NOT putting any knot in a genaker sheet: do not put a knot in your genaker halyard either!!!!!It can cost you a mast if your halyard cannot slip out in a heavy gust. ------------- sailors have more fun |

Why do you need a pair of footrailcllips for genneker sheet block ? There's a stainless steel ring made for this weld on pullpit leg on both sides. I always put an eight knot on my sheets. The spinnaker sheet are twice the length of the yacht. So if I need to release the sheet I have far enough length to 'deflate' the sail and pull the sheet back when situation is in control. ------------- Bruno hanse 355 - 57 S/Y Spicy Ginger White hull, 2 cabins, Volvo D1-30, Selden rig, removable mainsheet track system, Simrad (now B&G)-Jefa autopilot. |

Hi Stella Novis, on "The problem is that the newer Hanses do not have any hole in the footrail, so it doesn't work" I'm suite shure an adapted model to new toerail exists ! Ask to Hanse UK, i remeber having seen it on their site ------------- First 4000 miles, no substantial problems |

I read somewhere that the Pfeiffer's piece for toerail has breaking load of 300kgs (it might have been their web page?). However, I know that my friend sailing with Hanse 400 has used them with genoa. I have used them too but for jib and Code 0 (63m2), but don't dare to use them with gennaker (102m2). I just bought Wichard toerail fittings and can confirm they require some modification to be fitted on 2005 or newer models toerails. I'm still working on it...Markku ------------- S/Y Flow Hanse 371 |
