Stus-List Two things:

I've just sold my 1983 24 Mk II, thanks for several responses re the sale process. So this will be my last or close-to-last posting. By the way, I did mention this list to the purchaser, having often found it to be of use or amusement over the years. The other thing is, many years ago, in

Stus-List Heaving-to - sail ratios for higher winds

I've often single-handed and consider heaving-to an essential tool. On my boat I can reef the main while hove-to. If the wind is already strong it can take a bit of tweaking to balance the sails. One lister seemed to indicate that he can heave-to with foresail alone, this I don't understand

Re: Stus-List Rigging/Chainplates

To those who replied to my earlier posting, all went well and there was minimal damage to the aluminum block, also minimal damage to the deck around the U bolt. So I've lived to sail another day! And as a bonus the rigger pointed out several other places where the rigging could be improved.

Re: Stus-List Rigging/chain-plate tie-rods

Several years ago I noticed a leak in the cabin roof under the place where the chain-plate tie rod goes up to meet with the deck fitting u bolt to which the shrouds are attached. The fibreglass guy sealed the leak. Several weeks ago I noticed a white deposit (calcium–like) on the tie rod at

Re: Stus-List water leaks.

Several people have given me useful feed-back in dealing with my leaks, this is a bit of an up-date that might be helpful to someone else, and a question or two.   I used a hand-screwdriver and tightened all the toe-rail bolts, hand-tight. At a guess something like 80% tightened up in a

Stus-List Bilge pump for C C 1983 24

Water is coming into my bilge this winter much faster than before, luckily it is sweet and I'm going to be looking for ways to locate and seal the leaks. Since that will take time I want to install a bilge pump. My interim plan will be to have it pump into the sink, does anyone know if the

A stitch in time saves nine, amazing how valid are some of the old sayings. If I had replaced the chain securing the anchor chain cover when I first noticed it my crew would not have dropped it overboard while anchoring in Suchia! Would anyone in the Victoria/Sidney BC area have any ideas
