Stus-List Charging batteries

[Maturo, John via CnC-List]

Why not install a battery combiner switch in place of the normal 3 position 
switch. I seem to recall Nigel calder's book suggested this approach. I put one 
on my 35-1 with great results serving a starting battery and a house bank of 2 
deep cycle batteries.

Re: Stus-List Wanted 37 R in North-east

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

I race against the Third Wave regularly and we are docked two boats over from 
it.  It still sails to its rating and they have maintained the boat since Hal 
passed away two years ago.  Stephen is racing it as his homage to his father I 
believe and runs it almost as much as they did when Hal was with us.

The one Chuck listed at: http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/26493

 

now named "Kedyw" used to be named "Top Gun V" and was based in Puerto Rico for 
years.  Lawrence Anthony Aqui used to own her and he was on this list for a 
while. I don't know anything about the present owners, they seemed to have used 
the boat for one season and then listed her for sale.  They're asking 
$40,000.00 USD.

 

The one in Halifax is a great boat. "Third Wave" It is for sale because its 
owner passed away a few years ago, otherwise he'd still be racing it.

(asking US$ 34,895.00):

The are several for sale in southern Ontario if your friend want to take one 
through the canal system from Oswego, NY.

 

They are:

 

1. "Clockwork" (asking US$ 44,078.00)

asking US$ 63,363.00)

Checkout Yachtworld.com for one in Halifax and one in Toronto.

www.sailboatlistings.com/view/26493 has the one in Brooklyn.

 

Be warned, these boats are 40 feet long and 8 ft draft.

Re: Stus-List Through-hull hole size

[Petar Horvatic via CnC-List]

Thanks Chuck,

The problem is that in the old hole,  there is 5200 in place of balsa core. I 
would have to remove the 5200 and replace with epoxy filling.  I don’t know how 
far 5200 goes until I actually start removing it.   I don’t feel very good 
about filling epoxy over 5200.

My preference would be to just re-fill with 5200 to fill a void which is 40mils 
all around the grocco thrugh-hull.

You don't need to bevel.  Just use the groco as a mold.  Wax it so epoxy 
doesn't stick to it.  Rough up the old hole with 80 grit paper, acetone wipe, 
then fit the groco into the hole so you can pour in a filler, maybe use string 
to hold it in place, then mix up an epoxy filler such as West and 404 high 
density.   Keeping the Groco how you want it, and secure, pour in the filler.  
Let it harden a day.  Then remove the groco by unscrewing it.  Check there are 
no voids in the filler, and clean off the amine blush with a 3M pad and install 
the groco w 4200 or whatever you use.

 

Option B is to place a sheet of plastic sheeting over the hole from underneath 
and brace it against the outside of the boat with a boat cushion and fill the 
hole from inside.  Let it harden and then drill a new hole with a hole saw.

Subject: Stus-List Through-hull hole size

 

I took out the old Datamarine Sandpiper transducer that was installed with a
hole size of 2-1/16". My intention is to put a grocco 1-1/2" scoop strainer.
OD for this fitting is 1.9".  Does anyone know or has experience with this
decision?  Is 2-1/16" close enough to be called slightly larger than 1.9" or
is the hole size too big and I need to grind out a hole to a 12:1 bevel,
then glass it, fill with epoxy and drill a new hole?
