Maintenance Log, 2007
Maintained by James Williams and Deborah Stern, third owners.
Biweekly: Perkins 4-108 engine, run in gear at 2200 RPM, 15-30 minutes, sailing or not.
Monthly: Bottom cleaning and zinc inspection (and renewal as necessary), by Fastbottoms, Alameda, CA.
9/27 - Installed new raw water pump. Old one threw a bearing and damaged the shaft on the way back from Half Moon Bay on Labor Day. New pump installed by Michael Lord, Alameda.
8/15 - Chris Tibbe from Svendsen's fine-tuned rig while sailing on bay with us in 20-25 knots.
8/10-8/14 - Took boat in to have tri-color and anchor light and fuel gauge malfunctions fixed. Svendsen's did the work without charge. Also added weep hole at step of mast, which Svendsen's had neglected to do during the refit.
7/23-9/6 - Varnished, making repairs on caprail base at bow where moisture had lifted the varnish, recaulking caprail joinery on starboard side, and putting on two new coats on caprail and all other exterior wood. Any Neuvecelles-Buckles did most of the work for us while we were traveling.
7/16 - Replaced starting battery.
7/5 - Annual engine service - new oil filter, fuel filter, Racor R26T, heat exchanger zinc, impellor, and 5.5 quarts oil. Fuel clean with no sign that tank is dirty. Service performed by Michael Lord, Alameda.
6/15 - Deborah polished all the stainless in preparation for the All Women's Cruise to the Corinthian Yacht Club.
5/17-6/14 - Had new canvas made (wheel/binnacle cover, barbecue cover, winch covers, and six handrail covers), re-stitched mainsail cover, and split both cap rail covers in two. Work performed by Laurie Elliot, Canvasmithe.
5/18 - Took the boat out to calibrate the autopilot, instruments, and chartplotter with Ron Jones of Star Marine. Will have to got out again next week to make some corrections.
5/12-16 - Cleaned boat inside and out. Washed and waxed deck and hull. Installed spring opener in navigation table. Reorganized some of the cabinets and the ice box.

Hi James,
I bought a 1983 Cal 39 Tall Mast, #170. I'm also in the process of refitting her. My list has grown. I would be very interested in knowing what has worked/not worked for you. I'll take any suggestions that I can get.
Thanks,
Vito E. Addabbo

Vito,
So far everything we've done has worked out nicely. We are a bit concerned that the spinlock jammers we used on the traveller are not strong enough, but we're still working on a solution.
I maintain a list of Cal 39 owners with information on their boats - I share it with all Cal 39 owners. If you'd like to be added, I'd be happy to do that. Contact me by email at techjunc@pacbell.net.

Hi, James,
My husband and I have a Catalina 30 with an atomic 4 engine and are having some problems with our reverse. We would like someone to come look at it. How was your experience with Michael Lord? Do you have a contact number for him. Thanks, Emily
