Re: Stus-List Smile away - G-Flex or Fiberglass

Sand to virgin fiberglass and bare metal then quickly apply epoxy using a 3M ScotchBrite pad. The pad will rub off any oxidation that forms. The epoxy will prevent new oxidation from forming. Then slap on 2 overlapping layers of 4" biaxial tape with epoxy. Sand, fair, paint, go sailing.

Re: Stus-List Smile away - G-Flex or Fiberglass

I think you should torque your keel bolts but I also understand not being prepared to do so. Here is an article on using g-flex for just such a repair. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1yV1JEN3YxQk1RbHc/view?usp=drivesdk Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Mon, Jun

Stus-List Smile away - G-Flex or Fiberglass

Hauled out today for a quick bottom job. Yard suggested fibreglass for the crack, but then there’s also G-Flex. Epoxy and fairing could be an option but that would add on to the project. Any success or opinions on one or the other? It’s a minor smile, no torquing keel bolts at dropping

Do not use Teak or wooden plugs - the previous owner of my boat did and they soaked right through. I drilled them out and filled with thickened epoxy followed by gel coat and bottom paint. I also have the wet rudder issue - I was told it's characteristic of the C due to the excess stress the

Re: Stus-List C 34 1981 Wet rudder - necessary to rebuild/replace?

Thanks for all the feedback and experiences with rudder maintenance! Sounding more and more like the thing to do is dry out the rudder, seal it up best we can, and then drain it in the fall. I like the idea of removable plugs for the future for checking/draining if required. Nathan On Mon, Jun

Re: Stus-List Mainsheet cleat and jibes

I had a very similar system on my boat (it was a 4:1 at the traveller) and I changed it to a 3:1/6:1 using a Garhauer block (double (parallel) 3:1). It has the cam cleats at the bottom, but the sheet had never fallen off during a jibe. I noticed that one needs to pay attention how one cleats

David, I had a Garhauer triple with cam on my 35/3. Traveller is on the companionway. I used a 7/16 sheet and don't recall any trouble, but the cam block was on the bottom and the line could not fall out. Could the sheet be catching on something or someone or is the sheet is too small? Joel

Hello, I have a C 110 with the Evo 100 wheel pilot. A friend of mine has a 35 mark 3 and the same wheel pilot. I race on that boat and am on it frequently. For my use (and his too) the Ray wheel pilot is adequate. I use the pilot for short handed / single handed sailing in fair weather

Re: Stus-List C 34 1981 Wet rudder - necessary to rebuild/replace?

Same problem on a 27 Mk III. What we do is have rain holes, one near the top of the rudder , one low down on the leading edge, one on the bottom. In sailing season we insert threaded plugs sealed with Vaseline to keep the rudder dry. They come out in the fall, a few drops leak out and the

Re: Stus-List Rudder play fix on c 40 1983 aft cabin

I had a problem for the last two seasons with my main sheet handling system. I have a double ended system, with a 5:1 on the traveler with a Garhauet triple block with cam cleat then led forward to the mast and back to a winch on the cabin roof. The advantage is that I can quickly adjust in

Re: Stus-List C 34 1981 Wet rudder - necessary to rebuild/replace?

The rudder on my 1976 C 42 Custom was also wet when I bought the boat. My repair guru drilled a bunch of holes in a pattern, put the rudder in a plywood box that he made for this purpose, and “baked” it at about 150 degrees for two or three weeks. He then filled all the holes with West System

Re: Stus-List Autopilot selection and install

Re: Stus-List C 34 1981 Wet rudder - necessary to rebuild/replace?

I paid a fiberglass shop to rebuild mine. ~$5k. About 4 years later it appears that the rudder is once again wet - FLIR and moisture meter during survey. Like you my biggest concern was corrosion on the inner metal components - none was found. The rudder was rebuilt and encapsulated the metal

Re: Stus-List C 34 1981 Wet rudder - necessary to rebuild/replace?

I'm sure more experts will chime in here, but my understanding is that water ingress is extremely common, our survey indicated the same, and a previous survey also had a wet rudder. During the previous survey we had some questions and our surveyor brought in one of the main people from Bristol
