Re: Stus-List Glassing In Cabin Wall Holes

G10 is a fiberglass laminate that is laid up and then cured in a press, so it's very stiff, fireproof, and the surfaces are smooth like formica. I first saw it used to make windsurfer fins as it's very stiff. That started in the 90's. The fins are usually a dull green color. I just bought

Hey Joel, We talked a little on the phone. (Joel just bought a 1973 C 30 located on Lake Ontario near the entrance to the Welland Canal.) Joel, How does the survey describe the rudder play? Is it 1/4" play in rudder shaft? Like if you pull the bottom tip of the rudder is moves 1/4" side to

Oh yeah, I get it. Four very old B & G instruments on the port bulkhead for me. But your solution looks fine and is completely out shown (out shined?) by the beautiful finish on the teak trim and hatch boards. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOnCfBnU2tq1-LZI01LcvVEbGZKzf2Tp0lx_7Z2

Touche' had LARGE instruments when I bought it. I think they were Kenyons. Anyway, I hate to admit it but I just covered the holes with StarBoard sandwiches and mounted the new instruments in the StarBoard. See: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_sb5TfIENvsSEdLX1h5eXJLUUU/view?usp=sharing

Re: Stus-List CnC34-Anything to pay attention to?

Yep, the RWC engines usually have a lower temperature thermostat (and associated sensors/alarms) so that there is absolutely no chance of localize boiling inside the engine. Boiling causes deposits in the engine which can clog passages. Lower temp also reduces the speed of corrosion. FWC

At least to me, the 33-1 looks a lot different below the waterline (more swept back keel) than the 34. -Original Message- From: CnC-List On Behalf Of Rob Ball via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2020 6:59 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Rob Ball Subject: Re: Stus-List CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Glassing In Cabin Wall Holes

Cosmetics aside, I filled in four holes on the cabin wall facing the cockpit that I assume once held analog instruments. I cut plywood circles with a hole saw the same size as the holes I was filling, and used West System to epoxy them in place. I was then able to cut the smaller holes needed

I got one for you. Bought a 40 that was a 3QM 30 from the lakes. Came south here and was retrofitted with Sendure heat exchanger. So I buy the boat. And immediately notice the temp sending unit is cracked. Go to the parts counter and provide the engine model and get the part. Install the

Good to know the terms. I was aware of the different cooling mechanisms, but unaware of the terminology. Quite frankly I thought fresh water cooled referred to non-salt water. Thanks folks, Ron Wild Cheri C 30-1 STL On Saturday, June 13, 2020, 11:11:33 PM CDT, Josh Muckley via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List CnC34-Anything to pay attention to?

I have mentioned this before I think - the 34 took a significant step backwards from the 35 MK I/II in how the keelbolts are backed up. The 35s had thick backing plates and the 34 had washers. During a Bermuda Race a 34 was taking on so much water from the keel bolts they sailed directly from

Re: Stus-List CnC34-Anything to pay attention to?

I second Mikes take. My 34 has been a great relatively inexpensive cruising boat so far and I love having a boat that moves in light wind. We sail short handed too and don’t race so I tend to reef early but she will handle a blow just fine and with the full rig you can sail to windward pretty

G-10 is a common premade pultruded eglass epoxy material also called garolite or FR4: https://www.mcmaster.com/grade-g-10-garolite/multipurpose-flame-retardant-garolite-g-10-fr4-sheets-and-bars/ Very handy for repairs, backing plates that don’t corrode (use 1/4” or thicker), replacement core

I have owned and sailed my 1978 34' for the past 5 seasons and she was not what I was looking for originally, I was looking at the 35's. Skywalker was a bit unique in that she was built for a fellow who raced her in the UK so she is a bit of a "winch farm" as I have had some admirers refer to

Re: Stus-List Glassing In Cabin Wall Holes

Randy, I just did this for a broken autopilot that was mounted in the sides of my cockpit that wasn’t working. My strategy was to use an angle grinder to taper the edges of the hole back to try and get at least an inch of exposed glass on an angle all around the hole. Then I took a piece of
