I kept my two 135 watt panels off my RV to use on a boat.   They are large
at 62"x28".  Now that I have a new to me 1988 MK2.  I don't know where to
mount the large panels.   I've seen them on other brands of boats mounted
on the side of the boats on the stanchion.  Wouldn't they get dragged when
it heels over?  I was thinking of on the rear cockpit rails so they stick

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 124, Issue 30

2016-05-04 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
FWIW, the mast boot on my 38 is made of sheet rubber from a tractor tire.
Made a paper pattern, then cut the rubber to shape to match the needed taper
of the boot. Overlapped and glued with tire patch glue. Held in place by
large stainless band clamps around the mast and the mast partners. And
covered by a Sunbrella wrap with a Velcro closure.

When I went looking for an inner tube to make a mast boot, the local tire
store gave me 3 tractor inner tubes that had been punctured. I made a
lifetime supply of spare boots for my boat (about 3).

And I have a lifetime supply of inner tube rubber that is available to
anyone who wants some.

Just contact me off list and tell me how much you need, and I will mail it
to you.

The ice box is built pretty stout; fiberglass and gelcoat.  I can’t imagine dry 
ice causing any problems.  Wrapping the dry ice in a towel or a couple paper 
bags would be extra insurance.  That would also slow down the melting process.

Hey,

I have used dry ice for years. If it's hot enough to require dry ice then
the hatches, ports, etc. are going to be open and plenty of fresh air is
going to be circulating through the boat. 

Good luck,

Ditto, especially for long offshore.  Careful, it will freeze your beer.
The box can handle the low temperatures without cracking.  If concerned,
figure out a way to keep the ice from direct contact with the box.

 

With regard to carbon dioxide build up;  the volume of CO2 would have to
fill the icebox and then spill over into the cabin area.  With the amount of
air moving through boat on any typical day, it's highly likely to flush out
a good % of the CO2 .

the dry ice industry Web site says it should not be used in boats for reason

Very bad idea inside a boat. As it sublimates it will replace the oxygen in the 
lowest parts of the boat ... i.e. the living area.

Stus-List Inaccessible area in forward section of dining table in LF 38

2016-05-04 Thread Robert Boyer via CnC-List
On my LF 38 the fixed (central) portion of the dining table is accessible 
underneath via two opening lids.  Storage in the aft section is big and handles 
two gallon-size liquor bottles.  In the forward section, the compartment 
handles one gallon-size liquor bottle and then there is a tray about 1.5 to 2 
inches deep and about 6 inches long.  The tray is not removable.  Has anyone 
ever accessed the area under this tray in any way?

Re: Stus-List Paragon Transmission

2016-05-04 Thread Brian Davis via CnC-List
Thank you, Doug.  I appreciate the support and advice.  I successfully
removed the vdrive late last night without to much trouble...while
listening to the relaxing sounds of the storm that passed through.  Lol.  I
also got the bolts off the trans that connect to the yanmar, but she's not
budging.  It was late so I decided to pause for the day and resume after
work today again.  It is heavy indeed since I still have the old one the PO
saved.  I'm canceling my gym membership after carrying it to and from my
storage unit to the boat. I'm thinking the gasket is probably sticking and
she needs some encouragement of sorts, but I don't want to start hammering
on it and have it come out and land on the shaft.  So, I'm not sure of the
best approach to next steps...  Also, I'm not totally sure what you mean by
"In the curved adapter is a universal joint that is splined to the
transmission output shaft."  The Vdrive pulled right off after
disconnecting the cooling hoses...

Thanks again for the input.  She's a beautiful boat and I'm enjoying
finishing up the restoration that the PO started.

Regards,

Brian

Cc: randy.staff...@comcast.net
Subject: Re: Stus-List 30-1 Mainsail Foot Length

So it turns out on this particular question everybody was partially right. :)

Like Rick Bushie's Anchovy (30-1 hull #1), my Grenadine (30-1 hull #7) has a 
13' boom with boom-end sheeting to a traveler at the aft end of the cockpit, 
and tiller steering.  The boom ends a few inches forward of the backstay, and 
its length is probably driven by that sheeting arrangement.  Perhaps later in 
the production run C&C moved the traveler forward on the 30-1 (e.g. for wheel 
steering) and shortened the boom accordingly.  Having sailed several 
tiller-steered boats up to and including a J/30, I personally like the cockpit 
layout of my boat - lots of room.

But unfortunately my current mainsail's foot is only 10'6" - a full 12" shorter 
than the 30-1's designed E dimension.  I have no idea whether that was 
intentional by a previous owner, or perhaps a screw-up by the obscure maker of 
my mainsail (whose sail bag is stamped with the year I graduated high school :)

Also my boom is raised exactly 12" from its as-built height, as C&C later did 
from the factory on the 30-1.  So I'm giving up mainsail area in both the E and 
P dimensions compared to the early 30-1's design.  When I buy a new mainsail 
I'll make sure its foot is 11'6" per the 30-1 design, or perhaps even longer 
(since I've got enough boom for that).  But I can see the advantages of leaving 
the boom a foot higher than its original location.  It makes moving around in 
the cockpit easier and safer.  It's probably not worth the extra ~12 square 
feet of mainsail area to lower it back.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks John, Dennis, Michael, and Gary.

As soon as the #@()*%^ snow stops falling around here and I can uncover and 
raise the sail again, I'll take actual measurements and compare to the 
specified E dimension and report back.

My boat does have tiller steering, and boom-end sheeting to a traveler at the 
aft end of the cockpit.  I like the room that arrangement provides in the 
cockpit, but I'm still getting used to switching hands between tiller and 
traveler during tacks, compared to driving boats with the traveler farther 
forward in the cockpit.

Take a look at the C&C Brochures on the web site. You will see two versions of 
the early 30’s, one with end boom sheeting and the last one (d) with sheeting 
forward of the wheel. Maybe the difference is whether you had a tiller or wheel.

Subject: Stus-List 30-1 Mainsail Foot Length

Listers-

I posted a few pictures from my first race in my new-to-me 30-1 (hull #7) last 
Wednesday night at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTeUlmcm1IX1c5ZHc

You can see the foot of my mainsail is considerably shorter than my boom.  I'm 
wondering if that's "normal" for 30-1s (or other C&Cs for that matter).  It 
doesn't really look normal judging by brochure photos and drawings.

A previous owner had also raised the boom at least a foot from its original 
height, as the C&C itself did on later C&C 30s.

When I get a new mainsail I'd like to increase its area by both returning the 
boom to its original height, and increasing the length of mainsail's foot.  I'm 
thinking more area equals more power equals more speed.  And I can live with a 
lower boom.

Any words of wisdom to share?

Thanks,
Randy Stafford

Anchovy's five year old boot is cut from an inner tube from Tractor Supply. The 
seam is sealed with contact cement and the sail track filled with silicone. Not 
a drop of leakage.

I use  a strip of canvas the same colour as my sail cover. It is about 5" wide 
and 5' long. 
I wrap it around and it does the job in all but heavy, prolonged rains.

The gray blends in with the aluminum mast and collar so it's barely noticeable. 
Highly recommended.

anybody have any thoughts on the best way to do this job, or which product is 
best?Thanks,

Re: Stus-List C&C 35-2 Mast step position

2016-05-04 Thread dwight veinot via CnC-List
On my 35 MKII the mast is just about centered fore and aft in the
step...If those spacers are equal thickness, try 2 forward and 2
aft...works good on Alianna

Some C&C 27 MKII's had a similar boom, looked too long but I believe
the design might have been intentional due to main sheet traveller
location...nothing wrong with a high aspect ratio main sail on the C&C
30, According to measurements on the C&C photoalbum the E dimension
for the 30 MKI is 11 feet 6 inches

Re: Stus-List Marine grills

When my Force 10 log fell overboard because some spot welds left go on
the mount, very inconvenient at the time, (for Mike Hoyt, it's
somewhere near your mooring in the Northwest Arm in about 30-35 feet
of water), I got a Kuuma to replace it.  The Kuuma uses the same
mountin brackets as the Force 10  and I like it's styling better and
it is less affected by wind which was always a problem with my Force
10,  the food is just as good BBQ'ed on the Kuuma as it was on the
Force 10:

I have 2 inch gray self fusing tape on Touché. Put on several overlapping 
wraps. In my opinion, it's the best. Been on for several years now and is still 
in good condition. Absolutely leak tight once you fill the main sail slot with 
sealant like LifeSeal.
