Re: Stus-List PVC Insert for Cinkel Mast or Boom

[Tony Wroblewski via CnC-List]

Installed the tides track on Triumph in 2000 and went with a loose footed main. 
Tides track is great - no problems since installed.  As mentioned, the sail 
falls completely down with full battens. No inserts needed!

I replaced the pump on my head (should it be in my head? (;-)) and even my wife 
finds it so much better. She says that it was money well spent.

In Ottawa, it was even better $90 for the pump, $85 for the rebuild kit.  A no 
brainer.

Yep. My experience has been the rebuild kit is about $70 and the pump assembly 
around $100. However the rebuild is about 1.5-2 hours and the pump assembly 
replacement is about 30-45 minutes. 


Amazing how many of my customers still wanted the rebuild kit. Even when I told 
them my labor rate would make the total price more.

Tackled the problem differently on Septima.  I installed a fresh water
bladder tank to feed the head.  No smells from decaying whatever ( reason
the Admiral wanted fresh water feed), no chance for overflow on port tacks,
no sea water in the boat (that thru hull is closed all the time.  Use tank
to provide lateral trim.

Stus-List Converting schaefer 1 inch traveller car

[Jerome Tauber via CnC-List]

My C&C 29-2  came with a Schaefer 1 inch traveller car that is no longer made.  
I found an inexpensive way of converting this car to a twin block car and it 
worked quite well.  My 27-5 came with the same traveller car so I just did the 
same simple conversion and thought I share it with list. The secret are Harken 
10 bullet block sheaves with Delron bearings.  They are 1.25 inches and a 
perfect fit.  Unscrew the eye strap and remove the two 1/4 inch screws.   The 
sheaves have a perfect match 1/4 inch hole.   Cut a piece of 1.5 inch by 3x 1/4 
aluminum bar for top plate and drill two 1/4 inch holes to mount strap.  
Replace the original 1/2 inch long screws with 1.5 inch screws.  Put the screws 
through the strap, cover plate and sheaves and attach.  Round the edges of the 
cover plate.   Makes a nice looking car and works well with no outside blocks 
flopping around.  You can even double the sheaves for a four block car if 
desired.  Sheaves are only $10.   Jerry J&J

Re: Stus-List Grounding a mast - 30mki

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

I had lightning hit the water about 2 boat lengths from me while sailing. It 
raised a nice splash of water/steam about 6 feet in the air. I then 
contemplated my shoulder sitting against the backstay, my hands on the 
stainless steel wheel grounded through the rudder cables, and moved over a bit!
Thread creep – metal airplanes generally survive lightning strikes with little 
to no damage. I have been hit twice while flying and not much happened either 
time besides for having to reset the radios for one. Fiberglass airplanes can 
be blown to pieces by lighting and need to have a conductive mesh embedded in 
the skin of the plane to be certified for flying in bad weather conditions.

PS – If you haven’t read this, please do: 
http://www.marinelightning.com/Siedarc.htm
Note the concept for maximum protection is making sure all metal is connected 
together on their sample sailboat with multiple terminals to discharge into the 
water. The idea is no lighting will be wanting to jump from one part of the 
boat to another with a person or expensive item potentially in the way.
PPS – When I in the business, about 75% of lighting repairs we did were from 
lighting coming up the shore power cord from a hit on a nearby boat or power 
pole.

Same. We flush with fresh water from the forward tank on Grenadine, instead of 
pumping in lake water full of E.coli and decomposing organic matter. No smells, 
the head thru-hull remains closed, and I don't have to worry about the bowl 
overflowing.

Stus-List Another great performance of a C&C boat (Lake Ontario Challenge)

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

For these of us who might be interested...

This is an excerpt form our Club’s newsletter

RCYC/NSC Team “Sula Sula” 2016 Lake Ontario 200 Line Honours
On July 16th onwards, the Lake Ontario 300 Challenge offshore race was held out 
of Port Credit Yacht Club. The world’s longest annual freshwater race, 106 
boats from clubs around the lake competed on either the Scotch Bonnet (200 Nm) 
or Main Duck (300 Nm) Courses in various divisions.

Three NSC members Nat Baddour, Doug Gibson, and Ross Ernst joined RCYC’s Carey 
Crawford-Brown (Skipper/Owner) and Chloe Gifford (Youth) on a C&C 115 “Sula 
Sula” as a PHRF-NFS (JAM) class boat on the Scotch Bonnet Course (SBC).

With everything from no winds to severe storm winds with some of the toughest 
Lake Ontario waves, and amazing moonlight sailing, the 2016 LO300 Challenge 
proved to be one of the classics in its history. One third of the boats chose 
or were forced to retire before finishing. (Read the 2016 Challenge Report).
