Re: Stus-List C & C 36 Head Sails
Brad, My number 3 is a 97% blade from North made of the radian material. I had also talked with Sobstad who recommended a 100% made from Pentax again with an inner set of tracks. Previously I had a 115% that came with the boat. It was a C&C 29 mainsail recut to be a headsail for my boat. It worked but wasn't very fast. I raced yesterday in winds reaching the 20-23KT (gusts to 30) range with the 135 (North radian). Initially we were going to use the blade but ripped the luff tape raising the sail. I have the centerboard version of the 36 (1978) and it tends to be a little tender so I tend to reduce sail earlier than most of the boats I race with. With a single reef in the main and the 135 we did just fine and were pointing higher than most of the fleet and the boat stayed relatively flat. Rail in the water very infrequently and only in the strongest gusts. I like the blade and it is great for going to wind. I don't think I'd have done as well as I did yesterday had I used that sail.I would most likely have had to do a sail change on the last leg.BTW, I don't use the roller furler for racing. If you want pictures of the added tracks let me know and I'll send them off line. There are some things I'd do differently and I'm more than happy to discuss this. Also, Sobstab's recommendation was to have the tracks further outboard, which I am considering the possibility of either moving mine or adding another set.

Stus-List Leaking H2O tank-how to remove failed adhesive
My forward tank had [still has] a slow leak at its lowest point where the water line exists. I used a tube of adhesive [polyurethane, I think, but not sure] in an attempt to seal it. It appears the adhesive did not bond well with the tank [polypropylene] In any event, it's a botched job and I need to start over. Any suggestions on adhesive removal would be greatly appreciated. I suppose I could try and cut it away from the tank and line, but I fear I might puncture the tank. The tank is under V-berth, and I wouldn't want to have to remove it!! Also, has anyone had any success using Captain Tolley's creeping crack cure on this sort of repair?? Fair Winds, Pete W.

Re: Stus-List Leaking H2O tank-how to remove failed adhesive
Your water tank will be polyethylene, not polypropylene, and nothing will stick to it long-term. Captain Tolley's will certainly not work. Your best bet is to remove the tank and take it in to a plastics shop and have the leak heat welded. To get the residue of the failed repair off, use Anti-Bond 2015. You can get it through West Marine if all else fails. < http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_11151_10001_103399_-1?cid=chanintel_google&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=103399#.UkhFaRAb120 > On 29 September 2013 07:59, kelly petew wrote: > My forward tank had [still has] a slow leak at its lowest point where the > water line exists. > > I used a tube of adhesive [polyurethane, I think, but not sure] in an > attempt to seal it.

Re: Stus-List New boat - NOT
Me too. I had to laugh at the sheet stoppers. It looks like the owner had the same problem I did - a main halyard stopper which wouldn't do the job, replaced it with a bigger one from another manufacturer. I chose Garhauer, and it looks like one of those is Garhauer as well - better stopping at half the price - and you cannot buy those original XA's any more so unless you can step up to a new triple, you will get an unmatched condition regardless of brand. I like the looks of the boat too. Obviously a difference in a boat designed in the early '70's vs. a 1988 version.

Bill, I appreciate the personal recommendation with the broker. Discussed the boat with him, he says it has a few cosmetic issues but that the owner died last winter and the adult, non-sailing, children are selling the boat. He feels they will likely be open to an offer given the boat will start costing them winter storage fees within a few weeks. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1988/Cs-30-2638685/Hingham/MA/United-States#.Ukb-NYasiM4 If it does go ahead I don't want to take that much time off work to sail the boat all the way home, but I have a local skipper who I was organizing to bring back the C&C29, and we should be able to organize getting the boat home in mid Oct if I go ahead with the CS.

Re: Stus-List AIS Transponder Info
Personally, I think Class B transponders are a waste of money. Many folks who have Class B transponders are so proud of them that they leave them on all the time, thus flooding the channel with worthless traffic. The boat is sitting at the dock, broadcasting "Under Way" while the owner is sitting at home watching football. I've had AIS for at least 5 years, and leave Class B reception turned off.

Stus-List Raymarine ST4000 autopilot problem
I had a problem with my autopilot today I could use some feedback on. For the last few weeks, the lever that engages/disengages the autopilot would periodically release so that the autopilot ceased being able to turn the wheel. Once engaged, it seemed to work fine, but the initial engagement seemed to not always stay locked in. Today, as luck would have it, I was maneuvering in the 10 minutes before that start gun, engaged the pilot to make and adjustment forward, and could not get it to disengage. The wheel was effectively locked so I could steer with the autopilot, but not by hand. After futzing with it for a few minutes, (trying to not hit someone trying to start) I gave up, lowered the sails, threw out the anchor and proceeded to remove the unit from the wheel. We only started a few minutes late, but it was annoying to say the least. I have brought the unit home and I can see no way to get inside it to see if I can figure out what is going on with the connect/disconnect lever. No disassembly instructions in the manual. Is this a "send it back to the factory", "throw it in the trash" or other solution?

Re: Stus-List Raymarine ST4000 autopilot problem
I had exactly the same problem. Changed out the wheel unit with a new-to-me (but better condition) unit. Thought that solved the problem. Did it again! I found that if I switch off the power to the controller I do not have the problem. I know only switch on the auto helm power when I am using it - and switch it off whenever I steer by hand.

Re: Stus-List Raymarine ST4000 autopilot problem
To open the wheel unit, put a large flat screwdriver or pry between the two circular segments and pry them apart. This will expose the drive belt, idler pulleys and the tensioning clutch lever. The problem you are having is mechanical. Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 Halifax On Sep 29, 2013, at 18:52, David Knecht wrote: I had a problem with my autopilot today I could use some feedback on.

Re: Stus-List Raymarine ST4000 autopilot problem
It may simply be a loose belt? There is a tensioner for that if it is a 4000 Plus.Another bandaid fix is to shockcord the clutch lever so it can't release on you. Check the mechanicals first. RayMarine recommends washing it out with fresh water periodically. Good luck.

Re: Stus-List Bouncing Off a Shoal
Ouch! I remember that shoal from years back when I was crewing the Prince of Wales race -- in light winds every boat was trying to cut the corner headed out of the harbor. Looking over the side into the clear water (I was working the mast) I was saw boulders sliding past the boat. When I raised the alarm the captain slammed the boat over to head for deeper water, just then another large boat (maybe 40') crashed, lifted up out of the water, did a pirouette atop a rock and slid back down the far side facing the opposite direction. It was crazy seeing a boat that big pop up out of the water! I never knew the name of the shoal, but after searching Thrumcap it clearly was. Hope the damage is not too severe!
