Stus-List Portable Air Conditioner -- Anyone try it?

[James Nichols via CnC-List]

I seriously considered the window unit in the companionway before I went
with the portable unit.  

I decided the portable unit was the way to go because the idea of wresting
the unit out of the way every time I wanted to exit the boat didn't sound
like a good idea.  

I'm thinking that if I went with the idea of creating a hood for a hatch
where the air was forced down into the cabin from above, I could have
purchased two window units for the price that I paid for the one portable
unit, and still had more than enough money left over to purchase the
materials I needed to make the hoods that would direct the air into the
hatches.

Stus-List Removing 30-1 Exterior Handrails

[RANDY via CnC-List]

Listers - especially those who have replaced exterior handrails on a 30-1 :) 

I'm hoping you can advise me on how to remove exterior handrails from a 30-1. 
Specifically, how to un-fasten the forward two bases of each handrail. 

I attempted to remove my exterior handrails today and was unsuccessful. There 
must be some screws into the forward two bases that I can't see from inside the 
boat (and there aren't bungs covering screw heads on the outside). 

Unscrewing the aft four bases of the exterior handrails was straightforward. 
Their screws are shared with or covered by the interior handrails. So I drilled 
out the bungs on the interior handrails and removed them. They're held on with 
four long screws that go all the way through into the outside handrails. Once 
the inside rails are off you can see holes in the cabin liner for two more 
screws per base of the exterior handrails. Those screws are shorter of course 
and came out easily enough, freeing the aft four bases of the exterior 
handrail. All those screws had #2 square recessed heads BTW. 

But the forward two bases are perplexing. On the port side, there were two 
chrome screw covers in the cabin liner above the head sink, and one immediately 
forward and immediately aft of the bulkhead separating the salon from the head. 
On the starboard side there were two chrome screw covers above the hanging 
locker / shelves, but only one immediately forward of the bulkhead (I don't see 
one aft of the bulkhead). I popped all those screw covers off, and removed the 
screws they were covering, but that was not sufficient to free the forward two 
bases of the exterior handrails. There seem to be more screws holding them on, 
whose heads are concealed. 

For those of you 30-1 owners who have replaced your handrails, how did you 
access the screws holding the forward two bases on? Did you cut a hole in your 
cabin liner? I'm OK with destructive removal of the old handrails, but worry 
about damaging the fiberglass around the screw holes. And I probably wouldn't 
be able to fasten the new handrails exactly the same way if I went the 
destructive removal route. 

I put some pictures at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTc093OExfMGRBX1E. I'm hoping 
somebody can tell me the magic answer :) 

Thanks In Advance,

Re: Stus-List List of 30-1s

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

Sayuri used to be in a lot of the “fun” races, like the Oriental Cup and 
Dragon’s Breath, in the Oriental area. I think it belonged to a couple named 
Tom and Stacy, seem to recall they kept the boat in Minesott Beach, and that 
they were in NYRA. Maybe Charlie Nelson knows who owns the boat.

I looked around my marina and we have a 30-1 named “Sayuri”, 1973 number 135. I 
don’t know who owns it, never seen anyone on it, but it’s at the opposite end 
of the marina from me.

Dave,
I just sent a pic of what I have to your email. I do have a schaefer 71-61 that 
has never been mounted or used. I also have a 71-42 double (the smaller one). 
It came out of a bag of old parts that were part of the schaefer boat show 
booth. My brother set up and run their booth at a lot of shows and I ended up 
with an interesting bag of parts. No payment to me is required, just get me 
your address and I’ll ship it out if you want it. I will ask that you make an 
appropriate donation to Stu for the list!

Hi All,

Part failure yesterday, a rope clutch broke.   Could replace with similar 
vintage Spinlock or ideally a vintage Schaefer that matches the others.   See

Dave, 
I may have a couple of those in an old parts bag, let me check tomorrow when I 
get home. If they are a match, you are welcome to them. They have never been 
used or mounted. Contact me directly and I’ll let you know.
