Re: Stus-List Able bodied crew available in Toronto Area
There are always boats looking for race crew here, but if you're not in the network of sailors it can be hard to get started. If he has any sailing connections he should leverage them. If not, print up a flyer and post it at all the chandlers and yacht clubs in town. They all have bulletin boards for such things. You can also hang around the docks at some of the bigger clubs on race night and let it be known you're looking to crew. There's almost always someone with a crew member stuck in traffic or at the office. (Of course, you have to slip past "security", but that's dead simple at most clubs - particularly on race night) Most clubs also have crew and associate member categories, but I wouldn't fork out for one of them until he's found a boat to crew on, because he could end up forking out for a membership at one club and then getting a ride on a boat from another club. (As a specific tip, Port Credit Yacht Club runs its J24 fall series every weekend until freeze up. Those guys often need crew as the weather gets colder and people start to think about winter activities) Good luck.

Re: Stus-List Able bodied crew available in Toronto Area
Likely the same as most other clubs National Yacht Club has a membership category for crew. Thanks to a few skilled computer programmers at NYC there is a full online crew bank with skill level and preferences that automates the matches and emails everyone. Every spring the club runs a special non-certificate Introduction to Keelboat Sailing. http://thenyc.com/learn.php ... This course runs two nights a week over seven weeks and provides participants with a basic understanding of keelboat sailing, with instruction both in-class and on-the-water. Topics include boat parts, wind, weather, basic on-water safety and equipment (clothing, etc.), sailing terminology, knots, rules, cruising, and some in-depth racing strategies. This is a very popular course and space is strictly limited, so please be sure to register early. ... The deal is the course is $417 which includes one year of introductory crew membership, normally priced at $276. Also includes a text book and a graduation dinner. After some in classroom instruction the students get a walk around on club member's boats, then go out for a sail, and at the end may go out for a race night specifically set up for the training boats. The course is usually sold out. Changing topics here - that was a large storm yesterday. At one point on radar it went as far south as the Pittsburgh area and north maybe half way up Superior. I went out racing in it. Thankfully RC set 1.1 mile legs once around. Saw 24 kts winds under spinnaker and 7.6 kts boat speed, but just can't catch the J/22 and J/24s downwind. A couple of the sport boats finished in under 22 minutes. Guessing it was 17 minutes upwind, 5 down.

Re: Stus-List Able bodied crew available in Toronto Area - Now Storm
Wind here got very high between 8 and 10 pm. and caused some damage to our docks for the second time this season. This is rare for us as the docks are a mile or so from the mouth of the harbour. Gusts recorded at the weather buoy south of Port Stanley reached 45 knots, and it was a south wind we were dealing with.

Re: Stus-List Able bodied crew available in Toronto Area Now Yacht Club Crew Membership
I should have said ... In the context of clubs in the Toronto area with a club racing program I think many of the clubs offer an associate - crew - junior ... membership categories. At NYC anyone can come in as a guest of a senior member for cruising or racing, even on a regular basis. I think crew membership entitles the person to free club parking and a 7x24 access card. Without it parking is $5 a night on race / event nights and may be restricted during regattas. The other benefit of crew membership is the one week a year that throws terror in the hearts of all the skippers, Crew Race Night. We take a new crew member that has limited helming experience and switch everyone's position on the boat. First, second and third get their own flag awarded that night. Now I realize that may sound silly, put at $276 for a flag it sounds pretty inexpensive compared to what the owner spends ;-) Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1 Indigo , 9/11/2014 1:20 PM: I thought that when this subject (Yacht Club Crew Membership category ) came up before, the consensus was that most Clubs did not offer this category - or force crew on Cruising boats to join.

bin. What you see in the cockpit in the YouTube video is a Fusion MS-WR600 wired remote. I can control all the functions of the cabin mounted unit from the cockpit remote. (Not just the volume) I installed the remote in an existing access port so I didn't have to drill additional holes in the cockpit. The access port was factory installed to access the shore power plug and other hidden stuff. I used two sound exciters per channel. (4 total) The foam adhesive rings that hold the exciter in place has a very aggressive adhesive. I did however sand the backside of the cockpit seat backs to create a very smooth surface. Final grit was 400. The exciter sticks much better to smooth surfaces. There is some information about the specific sound exciters that I installed located in the description on YouTube. When the cncphotoalbum.com site had the FORUM functioning, I had posted some still photos of the actual exciter installat! ion with an explanation of the installation. I guess that's gone now unless Stu can set up the FORUM again. Ted Drossos C&C 29-2 H2OT Long Island, NY -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: Stus-List Able bodied crew available in Toronto Area - Now Storm
Apparently, this is a season for weird winds. We were hit last Friday night (a week ago) with some strong winds.

At one point on radar it went as far south as the Pittsburgh area and north maybe half way up Superior. I went out racing in it. Thankfully RC set 1.1 mile legs once around. Saw 24 kts winds under spinnaker and 7.6 kts boat speed, but just can't catch the J/22 and J/24s downwind. A couple of the sport boats finished in under 22 minutes.

Stus-List gel coat colour
The head is now smelling great so thanks for the suggestions. Just draining and cleaning out the fuel tank as we had filter problems. Now gel coat. It is a 1984 29. I tried white to off white gel coat, and then off white to white but it is not working well. I know it is really hard but should I be using other colours in the mix? Will the new gel coat go lighter or darker with time.___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List Companionway hood
I ordered this stuff recently from Amazon. It's white so blends nIce with gel coat. I don't have link just this moment but yOu should find it easy enough.

I think you want it open all along the bottom, or the water won't be able to drain properly. I think what you are asking is simply how to tighten up the screw holes? If so, what I did on mine was to ream out the holes a little with my handy Dremel tool and an eighth inch rasp. Then I inserted some SS helicoils, I think #10 NC, put a little vaseline on the screws, screwed them in the helicoils so I could remove them, and bedded them in the holes with thickened West System epoxy. Worked like a charm.

What type of sealant should i put into the screwholes when I put it back on? 4200? Silicon? Any advice would be appreciated. There seemed to be quite the debate a few years ago about whether to seal the entire underside or not. Mine only appears to have sealant around the screws and i don't have any leaks (at least not around the companionway!) , so I'll probably stick with that method.

Re: Stus-List gel coat colour
Generally, the C&C deck color is "smoke white" which is a blend of brown, black and yellow. Best bet is to rent the Instint gelcoat colorbook from Fibreglast.com, match the color and order a quart. F155 is a close match for Touché's deck. I repair gelcoat quite often and find that using that colorbook works better than trying to tint it yourself. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List CNG for stove
Converting your stove from CNG to propane is simply a matter of changing the orfices in the burners. My new Frigidaire gas stove (in the home) actually came with a set of each. The CNG jets were factory installed and the LPG in a package attached to the installation instructions. The delivery people installed the LPG jets when they installed the stove. Talk to an appliance vendor. I don't think I've ever heard of a CNG stove in an RV, so the lack of information is not surprising. Your tank and regulator should have manufacturer labels on them. See if the manufacturer can identify the local installer for you. The CNG system is another matter. CNG is methane gas and lighter than air so no need for a vented locker, sensors, etc. The tank is at much higher pressures in order to store a useful amount of gas (systems on forklift trucks can be up to 3000 psi) and you still store a lot less fuel than in a similar size LPG tank. There is probably an expensive two stage regulator to bring the gas pressure down to 2-3psi. And it is hard to find anyone to fill your tank. You might ask your municipal gas company or the local bus company if they can either fill the tank or identify someone who can. The benefits to CNG are that it is safer than LPG, it burns hotter so cooks faster, and it is ridiculously inexpensive (which is why most new buses run on it).
