Re: Stus-List Owners Database

Thanks Stu, I registered the info for my boat. And I like the field for draft 
(standard or shoal). 

One comment: on the registration form the field label says "hull number" but on 
the confirmation page it says "HIN". Initially I had put in "7" but I backed up 
and put in 30007972 after seeing the confirmation page. I think it's valuable 
to collect complete HINs for the boats in the database, so to eliminate 
confusion it might be good to change the field label to "HIN" on the 
registration form. 

Thanks Again, 
Randy

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

Randy, our boats are aa bit odd - with a 13.5 foot J 
measurement, our spin poles are that long, and they work 
well with a 155. Other boats with smaller J measurements 
don't get the benefit.

I've found the spin pole is too short for use as a

Listers,



We’ve had some really hot days up here in the Northeast 
and the Admiral is thinking air conditioning. I don’t 
really want to go through the expense of installing a 
marine air conditioner and through-hull valves, but I 
have been hearing stories of boaters putting one of those 
portable AC units on board with the exhaust hose going 
out through a hatch. 




I would probably stick with an 7,000-8,000 BTU using 
drawing 7-9 amps. The specs say that can cool 250 square 
feet, which I think would make the inside of a boat cabin 
quite comfortable. Obviously would only be used during 
shore power or while the engine is running (I have a 
high-amp alternator and a great inverter on board). 




Has anyone done this? Any thoughts? 



All the best,

Many boats in the South have awnings over the boom to provide shade on the
cabin and deck.  Awnings range from nice commercially made ones to some PVC
pipe and a cheap tarp.

Other folks have tried keeping the cabin top and deck wet with a spray of
water.

Every little bit helps.

Re: Stus-List Owners' Database

2016-08-20 Thread RANDY via CnC-List
Hi All, 

Yesterday I tried to send the below message to the list, but it was too big 
because of the spreadsheet of known 30-1s I attached to the message. So I put 
the spreadsheet at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTdFdscXlyQVNtWms . There is data 
on 117 out of the ~800 built. 

Once Stu gets the database back online, we current 30-1 owners on the mail list 
can make sure the database includes our boats (I know it's missing info on some 
of them, e.g. mine). 

Stu replied to my message below but I'm not sure his reply went to the list. I 
may have overshot the mark on complexity :) 

So, Stu, back to the list of fields you mentioned below, would you consider 
adding: 
10. HIN 
11. Draft (standard or shoal) 
12. Rig (standard or tall) - if relevant; I don't know if any C boats ever 
offered that choice 
13. Spinnaker (yes or no) 
14. Steering (tiller or wheel) 
15. Engine 

Thanks again Stu for everything. 

And Rick Bushie - are you aware of this alleged 1970 30-1 in the database? Your 
hull #1 is stamped 1971. I'm wondering what to make of that. 

Cheers, 
Randy

Hi Stu, 

First, thank you so much for everything you do for this community. It's just so 
awesome. Second, if you'd ever like help with the database or the website etc. 
I could raise my hand (I'm a software guy). 

Regarding the database design - since boats pass from owner to owner, it would 
be ideal in my opinion to model the boat and the ownership separately. 
Ownership is a relationship between a boat and a person, with a start and end 
date. So I'd suggest a boat table with info about the boat, and an owners table 
with info about owners, and an ownership table relating a boat to an owner, 
with a start date and end date and boat name (since owners rename boats). 

When I first got my boat I wanted to learn about its ownership history, but 
could only find bits and pieces in documents that came with the boat, and from 
talking to the immediately previous owner. 

For the boat table I think it's most important to have good identifying 
information about the boat: its model, and ideally its entire HIN or at least 
its hull number and year. Sail number is a helpful additional identifier. Next 
most important in my opinion would be the most fixed elements of the boat's 
configuration: its keel or draft e.g. standard or shoal, its rig e.g. standard 
or tall (if applicable) and whether it's rigged for spinnaker, how it's 
steered, and its engine. 

For the owners table I think the owner's name and contact information would be 
most important. Next would be their location, and perhaps yacht club if 
relevant. Those could be interpreted as the owner's current (or last known) 
location and club, since people move and take their boats with them. It's 
probably not worth making the model more complex to capture such moves. 

The ownership table would be the valuable part. It would refer to a boat and an 
owner, and associate the start and end date of ownership, and the name of the 
boat under that owner. If the database had that, it could potentially capture 
ownership history as a boat changed hands. 

For what it's worth I attached a spreadsheet of known 30-1s and their last 
known ownership information, cribbed from your owners list pages and from bits 
of info gleaned off the mail list. There's probably some info in the 
spreadsheet that's not in your database, and vice versa (for example I only put 
the male owner's name in the spreadsheet). One thing that confused me is an 
alleged 1970 30-1 in your database, whereas Rick Bushie on the mail list owns 
hull #1 apparently, and it was built in 1971. How to reconcile? 

Anyway thanks again for everything.

We haven't left the dock yet so I have been spending a bit of time on the 
new owners' database. 

What fields do you want to see besides these: 
1. Last Name 
2. First Name 
3. Mate 
4. Home City, State, Country 
5. Boat Name 
6. Length 
7. Model 
8. Year 
9. Hull number 

I want to keep the database and searches as simple as possible and not be 
confusing to our members. 

All suggestions greatly appreciated.
