Re: Stus-List Genoa Sheets
Coltrek came with fat sheets, and I have always replaced them with the same - I think 5/8, as I don't think 3/4 would fit in #32 self tailer. Wire always seems thinner than it is, and rope always seems thicker that it appears, for some reason. Just looked it up, 5/8 Sta-Set Dbl Braid, NER2100.20Been working fine for 10 years. Got them from Oyster Bay, they always pre-stretch all their work. Before that I had a local fellow make some up, also 5/8 but very soft and stretchy - I took his recommendation, but discovered later he was just trying to get rid of it.

Raced them twice since in light air so the jury is still out. Very slick requiring more winch wraps. Crew learned quickly gloves are required to prevent burns when managing the new jib sheets.

Re: Stus-List Sailing Sunglasses Recommendations
I second Joe's recommendations (polarised, $20). OK, maybe $30. And keep in mind that _any_ polarised glasses would make reading the instruments difficult, because the LCD displays (most of them are) use polarised glass (and the polarised liquid crystal) to display the image. Btw. different polarised glasses (often times from the same vendor) have the polarisation axis at a different angle to vertical. Play with different glasses until you find a pair that you like and that makes the instruments the most visible (take your chart plotter to the store, if you can). and if nothing else works, you can always tilt your head to one side (for reading the instruments).

Re: Stus-List Winch breakdown
David, Take a screwdriver or punch and set it against one of the lugs where the Allen screws were. Tap it gently with a hammer to rotate the gear case in the base. Do it lightly around each of the lugs. The gear case will eventually rotate and break loose. Do NOT insert anything between the gear case and the base to spread the joint between them. You'll likely crack the base. When you reassemble, coat the mating surfaces with USS TefGel. Once you have the gear case out, there's one more trick to getting it apart. Remove the 3 Allen screws. Note that one of them has a bushing spacer between the lower and upper case halves. Don't lose it!! Once the screws are out, use a carpenter's tool (5 in one knife) or a knife blade to separate the lower gear case half (bottom cover) from the rest of the assembly. Gently tap it into the joint at the guide pin and separate it just a tiny bit. Move to the other side and repeat. Don't try to move it much. Be patient, it will eventually separate. When you reassemble, coat all screws and guide pins with TefGel. If you booger up anything, I may have spare parts. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Sailing Sunglasses Recommendations
Transition lenses don’t work well in the sunny south. The pair I had never got dark enough to deal with the bright sunshine, or the glare – even though the grade of transition lens I bought was supposed to be made for that purpose..

Re: Stus-List Sailing Sunglasses Recommendations
I have tried at least a 100 different brands of sunglasses because I live in the south and have VERY light sensitive eyes! The hands-down best boating sunglasses I have ever owned were Vuarnet's with their Nautilux lens! They are polarized and have a triple gradient (darker at the top and bottom, lighter in the middle). Unfortunately for me, I now require prescription len's for good distance vision. Almost all of the prescription sunglasses that I have tried have a ton of distortion from the curved lens or they just plain suck! I have found an alternative that is working out pretty good though. If you have to have prescription sunglasses, then check out www.nyxsportsglasses.com and click on the link for prescription lens'. The corrective lens' are separate from the sunglass lens and snap in and out. You can get many different lens' of different darknesses and polarized or not. Even if you don't need the corrective lens, the glasses are pretty good and not overly expensive.

I know Ronstan, Gill and a few others make some good polarized sets and was interested in hearing about which ones you like or dislike. I prefer something with blue lenses, polarized and has good coverage to block glare from water reflection too. And if it's something that looks like it belongs in the 23rd Century, then all the better :-) All the best, Edd Edd M.

Stus-List Midnight Mistress at Screwpile 2013
Congrats to Jake and Pat Brodersen for making a fantastic showing on board Midnight Mistress (CC 35-3) at the Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge in Solomons, MD. So far it looks like a 5 out of 5 win for the series over the last two days. There is one more day and as many as 3 more races. Hopefully they can continue to represent the CC line with grace and speed. Well done Jake.

Stus-List Genoa Sheets
Thanks Bill...I checked today and Alera is carrying 3/4 sheets. They do work in the Barient 32's but not very good. I am wondering if anyone has had luck with 9/16th's or if I should just go with 5/8..

Got them from Oyster Bay, they always pre-stretch all their work. Before that I had a local fellow make some up, also 5/8 but very soft and stretchy - I took his recommendation, but discovered later he was just trying to get rid of it. Both splices eventually came out, one when I was just rolling the sail up. Last purchase from him!

Re: Stus-List New Halyards for teh 38MKII
I really like the Crystalline line of rope from Yale. For what it is worth Practical Sailor did a dollars to stretch comparison a few years ago and the Crystalline had one of best ratings/ratios. About a month ago I finally decided that the fishhooks in my wire halyards had to go. A renewed look at the options showed the three top contenders NER V100, Yale Crystalline, and Sampson Warpspeed. I compared prices for all my options at APSltd.com and then drove there to compare in person. The Crystalline came in at $2.19 for 3/8 with an 11,000lbs rating. The stretch is supposed to be 0.25% at 1000lbs of tension or about 1.5 over 50 feet. Something I kind wish I had thought to do is use cheaper and maybe thinner line for the bottom half of the halyard. During the hoist the only time you really need to be concerned with stretch is the final foot or so. I needed two lengths about 125' so I walked out about $500 lighter. Good luck, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk Solomons, MD I've been very satisfied with the quality but some people may not like how stiff the rope is. -- When privacy matters. http://www.secure-my-email.com On Jul 20, 2013 7:05 PM, Ron Casciato rjcasci...@comcast.net wrote: ** ** ** Group: ** ** I am considering replacing my 7/16” “low stretch” (NER) halyards for both main and Jib with something that is “no stretch”…. ** ** We raced last Wednesday in 22-25kts and both the **Main** and Jib stretched so as to make the jib trim really edgy.

Stus-List (no subject)
Hello, It's really helpful and informative to read the posts on this list, thanks to all who contribute. I'm have a 33-2 under contract, but have heard about a potential keel/mast step issue with this model, having to do with a collapsing grid. I've tried to research this on the CC site on Sailnet, but there's little info going back to 2008 posts. Guess I'll find out more from the survey. Can anyone guide me to a source of info about this? Should such a problem eliminate a specific boat from consideration? Is the proper repair very expensive? Sounds like it would be. Thanks in advance for any help with this.___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
Re: Stus-List (no subject)
Andrew, Many of us have had to rebuild our mast step. It's really not a big deal. Many early CC's had an unprotected, unencapsulated wooden mast steps. The one on my 35-1 was simply 3-4 pieces of marine ply bonded together and cut to bridge across the bilge. After years in the wet environment the wood got saturated and lost strength. I installed a hydraulic backstay adjuster. The first time I tensioned it, I shoved the mast down into the bilge a couple inches. Oops! If the boat you're looking at has a weak step, it's not a deal breaker. You have to mark and measure everything around the mast step, pull the rig, scrape out the old rotted step and build a new step. You can order thick fiberglass sheets and cut them to fit and glass them in. You can shape a piece of white oak to rebuild it. You can do like I did and build up a solid glass step with a limber hole underneath for drainage. If you're fairly handy with West System epoxy or fiberglass resin, it's not a huge job. The only critical thing is measure, measure, measure so the new step is the same elevation as the old one. You have lots of help here on the list. Dennis C.
