Re: Stus-List 37+ Navteq hydraulic backstay hoses
I’ve found that many Truck Repair centers have the capability to repair hydraulic lines and hydraulic cylinders. I believe I once used a place in Waldorf MD to do some work for me. It’s close to Solomon’s Island MD. You might check it out !

Re: Stus-List Was Wire Gauge, now Where can I get LED?
some people use the anchor light to light the windex. You can buy a light that sits on top of the mast and shines up for that purpose. I'm waiting for the solar powered version! I find it hard to judge distance from boats use a masthead light. Maybe that's just me.

Re: Stus-List ...Now lighting configurations...
Agreed, but for our night races there are never more than a few other boats not racing, which would be weekend warriors that I am sure don’t even know anything beyond red and green anyways. Very little commercial traffic, not like LIS. But you are correct, it is not kosher. I don’t think anyone would be running around with anchor lights where you sail, where it could easily be confused with barge traffic or whatever.

Any light to attract the attention of another vessel shall be such that it cannot be mistaken for any aid to navigation.

Stus-List knotmeter malfunction
Coquina just got hauled this morning. Now I can go over and see why my knotmeter reads 0 underway, but if I pull the impellor out and spin it the readings are good. Any ideas why the paddlewheel spins freely in my hand but not in the water??? BTW – the diver that cleaned my bottom said now I had 3 different colors of paint showing maybe it was time for more LOL. The last time I painted I did one blue layer and one red layer over black original. It seems to have ablated itself right off the boat.

I only managed 83%. The light patterns for shooting and hauling nets were lost in ancient memory, but I swear I did know them when I took the test for my Masters license.

Re: Stus-List ...Now lighting configurations...
I saw a quick flash yellow on a sub up in Norfolk in early 2004 when I bought Imzadi. My boat had been berthed behind Willoughby Spit at the marina on the Norfolk Navy Base. I wonder if having a distinct light pattern at all wasn’t the source of a lot of discussion in the government. After all, a submarine is all about stealth, so why broadcast what you are with a special light pattern? I recall it as quick yellow and on all the time back then, but I think the pattern has been changed to three yellow flashes and a pause. Frankly I hope I never see one again. The wake from a surfaced submarine is wicked.

Stus-List CC 26 Sail Plan Thoughts!
I know there’s a few 26 owners on here so thought I’d share my thoughts on optimizing my sail plan. Jump in anyone, I’m open to any thoughts! Was out sailing today, only boat on the lake – I love that! So I thought we’d play around with the sail plan. Wind was 8kn -12kn. (Estimate – I usually think if I see the occasional whitecap it’s around 10kn) I have a 135% laminate genoa from Evolution Sails in Toronto (2 seasons). A Dacron main with 2 full and 2 partial battens from Leiche McBride in Vancouver (5 seasons). I have a flexofold prop; 4-1 outhaul; Garhauer genoa cars; Harken traveller; Cunningham; Garhauer ridged vang; (no backstay adjuster) The CC 26 is a tender boat and we were doing about 5.5kn to 6kn beating to windward at 20deg – 25deg heel. Flattening with the outhaul reduced heel a bit. (speed measured with a Speed Puck) Furled the genoa to about 110%. Just brought the leech forward of the spreaders so no interference. Boat stood up to 13deg to 16deg. Speed was between 5.8kn – 6.4kn. Went up to 7kn or 8kn in the puffs (theoretical hull speed is 6.25kn) No bubble in the luff of the main. Obviously, the furled genoa wasn’t setting great and the starboard tack was better than port tack. On a beam reach I think she’d do 7kn or 8kn regularly. So here’s my thoughts: I’m thinking of getting the genoa recut to a 110% or if that’s not practical (...and I suspect it isn’t) order a new 110%. Eventually a new laminate main will be needed too! I’m well pleased with 6+kns at 10kn of wind and 16deg angle of heel. Very little weather helm I’ve not tried it yet with the genoa at 110% in light wind. In heavy air the main can still be reefed (...as could the 110%). OK guys, am I missing something?

Re: Stus-List CC 26 Sail Plan Thoughts!
I usually run a 110-115, you give up a little in the mid-range winds, but in light or heavier air I think it's better than running 130+ genoa, plus it's way easier to handle when under-crewed. Have done the same on a 24 and a 27, neither are particularly tender but the same principle applies.
