I would agree with Ron. David Intrigue Kinsale
My little rigging book says, wooden masts have wood wedges (partners) and alloy masts have rubber chocks fitted exactly as Ron says. Jim
As to any other information you have Ron I would be interested in anything you've got. [Log in to view email] Simon
As I said Graphix will be going soon but I will get measurements and pics for you in a couple of days. After I stopped racing, most of the mods I did were for cruising. If you want general list which may be useful. Topics include the renovation of the teak decks, fitting new and resiting the fridge gear, fridge insulation, engine rebuild, Autohelm fitting and maintenance, P bracket change, keel removal and refit, new mast, heavier boom, gas strut, lazy jacks, full battened main, changing the window material, epoxying the bottom, electric systems etc! In 18 years the list is forever and almost everything on the boat has been out or worked on. If I can help with anything I will. Regards, Ron Winn
Jeg komme rsent tilbake til deg. Du har eller har hatt en Sigma 41 liggende i Oslo. Har du den fortsatt? Uansett kunne je gtenke meg kontakt - jeg har en Sigma 41. Seilte den opp fra Tyrkia i fjor. Nydelig båt, men det er en del å gjøre. Kunne du ringe meg eller gi meg et telefon nummer? Mitt nummer er 90177770. Hilsen Patrick
Fixed and yup spot on. Has anyone changed thier water tanks to flexible tanks? Chhers now. Shawn. Black Adder

Well we have got the decks back on and worth all the hard work, we used the old timber and it came up like new, we also did the cockpit area, can give advise if any one is thinking of doing the same. Good Sailing, Francis. "Hideaway"
i just bought a sigma 41 , 3 months ago. Her name is BAOBAB. i'm verry happy to meet you. I have just installed a black water tank for the toilets. This summer , I'l sail from french riviera to south britanny. i noticed that it could be possible to organize a meeting between Oban and La Rochelle , Why not around Wight in 2007. J-Pierre
Here is the web address where I bought my mast wedges -- six large and six small. I used all but one or two. http://www.RigRite.com I probably should have bought some of the "wedges with flange," but I didn't. Sometimes I have to double one large and one small. Seems to work, and the mast stays put. Our boat has an aluminum mast step, and while I have the mast out for new paint and rod rigging, I need to paint the step. Has anyone done it and had it last for long? Ted Keech FAYAWAY San Francisco Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
Our mast step is painted - but not sure what with as it was done by the previous owner - I suspect it is a two part epoxy paint, as it is very hard and seems to have survived well now for a few years. Roger
Welcome - we seem to be getting bigger and bigger - seems like a good idea to do the Round the Island Race in June next year - anyone else for that? Roger
June next year sounds good. One extra Sigma 41 joining: "Jan Steen", lying in Medemblik, the Netherlands. We bought our Sigma in 2001 and sailed around the N-Atlantic in 2002-2003. Last year we had to choose between either selling the boat or start doing some serious maintenance. The latter is the outcome. This winter we replaced the deck. Going forward I will certainly need your expert opinions with regard to rigging, instruments and hull maintenance. Before posting this message one short question: do you know about other Sigma's that tend to lean to starboard? Regards Hidde
The mine is also leaning on starboard, I'l mesure the hull in three weeks and i'l look the position of the keel. But this boat was designed for IOR and the small first degrees of leaning were important to have a best rating. On starboard we have the tank of gazole and the batteries... ? Roger, June next year seems OK for many friends ! And after that, why not Cowes-Dinard.(cool ! ) May be, it would be possible to know where are the others S 41 during the summer to meet them. J-Pierre.
Shawn (Black adder) and I are working on getting a list of known 41's, owners, locatiion and if possible email addresses. So if anyone else reads this, and is interested please let us know an email address and we will keep you posted. Currently I have a list of about 25 boats, 20 names and about 6 email addresses! Roger
To Hidde, als het aan mij ligt ben ik er dan ook bij, ik heb een paar vragen, mijn mail: [Log in to view email] gr Luuk
We can almost level the boat by adjusting the amount of water in the tanks when we are day-racing. I don't know whether doing so is worth the extra weight of the water required, as opposed to racing with both tanks nearly empty. Ted Keech FAYAWAY San Francisco
If you email me at [Log in to view email] I shall supply details. Jim
