    I have been very happy with Haarstick Sails.
     Based in Rochester NY. All sails made in house.
    I have 6 different sails on 3 different boats from them.
    They have all the measurements for the 424.

    I have hull 140   The hull number ends in 81 but the build date according to the documentation, shows it as being built in 1980.

    Mizzen…. sometimes when your tracking a dense rain storm like a fast moving squall, you might see a “hole” where it can’t see though the main mast…. but there is no mistaken whats out there….
    good luck

    FYI
    There was a boat that sunk last weekend  sailing from Georgetown to Blackpoint in the Exumas.
    The only thing we know is that the people were rescued and safely brought to shore.
     It was Whitby 42
     It  hit something – not a reef
     Went down in 30 minutes
     and that boat is also built to last…………..

    I was talking to Cindy on Island Bound about the same thing the other day in Staniel. What in our personality makeup caused  us to be 424 owners AND single handers…. I am starting to worry about that too….. I guess there is still time to reverse the trend.
    Any other 424 single handers out there…. come now

    Did you open the coolant cap BEFORE all this over heating happened (when you split the fluid out) ? If so, you might just have a bubble in the system. Because of the tilt in the engine, on the W58, you can get a small bubble of air on the aft end of the coolant tank. This will cause it to over heat.

    Hey Tor
     Thanks for the pics…. Lots of 424 wandering around the Bahamas this year.
    Any Idea where Island Bound is now?
     I am up at Black Point, trying to work my way to the Abacos….
    What’s your plan?

    Assume the engine uses 1 gallon an hour. Keep track of the engine hours when you fill the tank and with engine usage. Refill tank as needed….
     My  w58 uses about .8 gallons an hour at normal cruising speeds.  This gives me about 20% safety factor.
     Works well and uses no technology to fail.
    I have not looked at the fuel gauge in several years.

    I haven’t done any calculations like Pete, but after dealing with all the currents in the ICW and trying to get though the cuts and passages in the Bahamas with my W58, My gut feeling is  GO BIG. You might want to contact Jack Tyler the former owner of WHOOSH and see how he came up with his choice. He’s a pretty smart and articulate guy.
     YMMV
