Re: Stus-List Anchor Size
Joe, for what you describe you are planning on doing, that anchor should do just fine. If you think you may be possibly caught needing more secure footing, there are several recently introduced anchors that may serve you better; Rocna etc, but at considerably more cost. As others are pointing out, more weight means more security and the more chain in the rode, the better the anchor will perform. You might also consider installing a windlass as, unless you are a built like a windlass, manually hauling bigger anchors and more chain can be a real slog. I used a 15 kg. Bruce with 150’ of 5/16” chain backed by 200’ of ⅝” nylon rode with a Lofrans windlass on my LF38 for the 17 years I owned her and never had a problem. Rich Knowles Nanaimo, BC INDIGO LF38 Boatless!

Re: Stus-List Edson Pedestal
Hi, Below is a post from last May on relining Edson brake pads. - Paul E. 1981 CC Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL Begin forwarded message: From: PME dre...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Edson Wheel Brake Relining Brakes Date: May 22, 2014 at 1:40:06 PM EDT To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Rob, I just removed the Edson brakes and steering cables/chain from my steering system this past Sunday. And it was near exactly as described by Graham. The hardest part was removing the seized flathead screws. With a little PB Blaster, some perseverance, and a lot of hammer-twisting on an old hand impact driver (like the one at http://tinyurl.com/q823uja http://tinyurl.com/q823uja ) I was able to get the screws out. I will surely use never-seize putting the screws back in. This little impact driver has saved me on several occasions. The removal of the brakes took just a few minutes at this point. To add to Graham's comments, there is a special-sized washer on the brake shaft toward the knob side of the last brake pad. This washer is critical in making the brakes work. It turns out this washer was missing on my brake system, and that my brake pads are fine. Try not to lose this washer or be very cautious when installing a replacement. I called Edson trying to buy the little washer, but they insisted on sending a few washers out to me for free. As many have suggested, stuff rags down the pedestal, but I plan to tie dental floss on this bugger to aid in its installation too. As for brake replacements, the kits go for about $77 online(Defender). I have read online of folks relining these pads. Edson even sells a relining kit but it costs about the same ($80 Jamestown Distributers). Following the success of other, I planned on relining the pads myself. As it looks I will only need the washer, but if the pads do need replacing in the future I surely reline them myself. It Looks like fun and for less than $10 one could reline several sets(help out a buddy). For completeness I included material list and Edson's instructions below. Materials - McMaster-Carr brake liner metal-free 3/16T 1-1/4W 6175K812$3.91/ft http://www.mcmaster.com/#brake-lining/=s2sqod http://www.mcmaster.com/#brake-lining/=s2sqod - Loctite Black Max Adhesive (or epoxy) Brake Lining Replacement Instructions (from Edson EB355_689BrakeInstall.PDF) 1. Remove old brake pads. Clean legs with solvent. 2. Bond new pads to brake legs with generous amounts of supplied adhesive or two-part epoxy. 3. Clamp brake legs around a pipe approximately 1 1/2 in diameter while the adhesive cures so that the new pads conform to the shape of the legs. 4. After adhesive has cured, trim brake pads along edges of brake leges with a band saw or hack saw. 5. Reinstall brake components as described inside and check operation before installing cotter pin. 6. If brake does not clamp properly, check that washer has been installed between shaft shoulder and A743 starboard brake leg. ___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List Rigging/chain-plate tie-rods
Several years ago I noticed a leak in the cabin roof under the place where the chain-plate tie rod goes up to meet with the deck fitting u bolt to which the shrouds are attached. The fibreglass guy sealed the leak. Several weeks ago I noticed a white deposit (calcium–like) on the tie rod at the top and asked a rigger to check it out. He says that the tie rods are aluminum and corrode when moisture gets to them. First they push the deck up (which he says is already happening) and then they pull the u bolt down; this part needs further explanation. Repairs estimated from $1,300 to $2,000, doing both port and starboard sides. I’ve told him I will either repair the rods or sell the boat with disclosure, but will not ignore the problem. My dilemma is the usual one, how long do I continue to put money into an older boat, especially as I’m 75. However I’d rather sell the boat because I can no longer sail it than because I can no longer afford it! Gives me a lot of pleasure and keeps me active and motivated.

On mine, the portion on the rudder is still a nice close fit. Just the holes in the gudgeon are enlarged. I did use some 1/2 inch shrink tubing at one time to make up the difference. There really is not room for anything thicker. It seems so loose, but it really is not much of a gap at all. Just enough for an annoying clunk-clunk-clunk all night long of I don't wedge a length of pool noodle between the rudder and transom before turning in for the night. There is likewise, not enough meat to comfortably enlarge the gudgeon holes to fit thicker bushings. The only option would be to reduce the pin to 7/16 inch to allow for a slightly thicker bushing than the very thin shrink tubing. Note that the shrink tubing can not be a continuous piece the length of the pin, as it will not fit through the hole in the rudder piece. Not nearly as simple a problem as it might seem. I may even remove the piece over next winter and have Garhaur or some other machine shop make me new ones using my old one as a model. If I take that route, I will have them make it with a thicker wall, and room for replaceable generic plastic bushings.

Patrick, On my '78 36 footer, the only aluminum that I had was the cover plate around the chain plates and it was corroding, making it impossible to keep sealant around the hole where the the plates pass through the deck. I slacked the rigging, took the chain plates off to re-seal the area and brought the covers home where I made new ones out of 1/8 stainless steel. I can't say that I've ever seen a boat with aluminum chain plates but in my case there was no cost to repair other than my labour and time.

Re: Stus-List Anchor Size
Joe; Let me start by saying that I am a fan of BIG anchors and lots of chain. My current setup on my 38 is intended for long tern cruising: two anchors on the bow roller (a 44 lb Bruce and a 35 lb CQR) each with 65 feet of chain and 250 ft of nylon rode. I commonly anchor in 10 feet of water or less, which lets me anchor with essentially all chain and about an additional 10 feet of nylon let out to act as a snubber if the wind comes up. The Bruce is my main anchor and the CQR is a backup. As I get older, I really appreciate the windlass I installed to handle these anchors. As much as I like BIG anchors, they can be a real PITA to retrieve by hand. That said, when I was day sailing and weekend cruising, as you describe, with stops for lunch or swimming and nights in local protected coves, my only anchor was the 35 CQR with 35 feet of chain and 200 feet of nylon. So your proposed arrangement should be OK for that limited purpose. If you range more widely and start to run into more adverse conditions, you should think about upgrading the ground tackle. An old USCG Master Chief once taught me that the rule of thumb is 1 pound of anchor and 1 foot of chain for each foot of boat length. That's for normal anchoring and not for a storm anchor. The charts you have seen are probably for boats anchored with 7:1 scope in up to 30 MPH winds. If you expect storm conditions - even passing thunderstorms - you might be better served to go up a size. And which anchor you chose will depend on the bottom where you are anchoring. A Danforth is great in sand, rotten in shell or soft mud. A plow or Bruce is best for mud or weeds. A Rocna or Manston costs a lot of boat bucks, but you can sleep well at night because those anchors dig in, stay, and reset if broken loose. Washington harbor is soupy mud with wind driven tides and currents that change direction at least daily. The boats with plows and lots of chain tend to stay where they are left. And every month couple of months Sea Tow is pulling some dufus with a 15 pound Danforth and 6 feet of chain off the railroad trestle, the Hwy 17 bridge, or the island in the middle of the harbor. Now all of this isn't really answering your question. I'd suggest you talk to some of the older sailors at your marina or club who are familiar with the local conditions. Ask what they use, and where there are problem anchorages. And use their input to make your final decision.

I want to put a plow anchor on a roller and found a 35lb one locally for $50. Found a chart on the photo album that says that would be more than enough but that chart seems to be the exception. We are in Lake Erie and our only real use would be for an afternoon of swimming and occasional overnight in a very protected bay.
