Hi Patrick, Try the Sidney Sailor exchange (or whatever they call the damn thing these days, humbug). http://www.theboaters-exchange.com/ It might take some time wading through all the old stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if you find what you need. BTW, take a pencil rub of your deck pipe

Re: Stus-List c and c 29-2 mast cap.

Hi Bev, Removing the masthead crane (the thing you're calling a cap) will require dropping the forestay & backstay, for most older rigs. This is an unusual practice if servicing at a mast tower. If you have a roller furling jib then it's definitely not worth the bother. Normally you secure t

Hi David, My quip was not quick enough to get in before your clarification and at the same time, too quick. This subject is not too deep for me after all. Re: 1) - so, you were motoring or sailing downwind through at an extremely low tide? 2) - I would chase each of the cracks with a burr

Re: Stus-List C&C 34 Spray Apron

Hi Steve, Mine has a very thin wood core with an ultra thin layer of FRP covering that. It too feels spongy to step on but the core is dry (as a bone?). Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 05:31 PM 14/10/2014, you wrote: It's the screw-on cover over the sliding companionway hatch

Re: Stus-List sailing this weekend

Fall series racing out of Schooner Cove this Sunday. I hope the gale warning forecast will ease up a bit for Sunday morning. The little boats don't like to go out if it's blowing over 20 knots at the start. It will be a bit damp so I better dig out the woolies. Cheers, Russ

Re: Stus-List torqing keel bolts

Hi Lloyd, Sounds like you have a good mechanic. Good practice for fine work or critical assembly is back off & re-torque but it's unnecessary for keelbolts. And is the spec for dry & clean or lubricated? We just need them "tight enough", 10% over is no big deal. I would check each at spec th

That's not bad, the one in France is only ~4.60 USD or ~5.20 CND (plus shipping, duties, etc.) Cheers, Russ Sweet 35-1 At 09:26 AM 18/10/2014, you wrote: Davis is selling a universal key that also fit winch handle socket.

Hi Tom, Why not ask Danny for pics of Lolita, a Viking 33? ..."Danny Haughey" I haven't checked but being from the similar era, my guess is there are many details you could apply to Ceilidh. C&C designed the tiller equipped Viking 33. She came stock with a tiller or she came with a tiller

Hi Guys, With all due respect, I think you guys need to get control of your minions. They are running amok in the bureaucracy. Please google "free trade and sailors' rights" such as: http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/history/early-republic-and-antebellum-history/free-trade-and-sail
