Subject: Stus-List Best for those in Dorian's path and storm tracking resources

Been watching Dorian for 3-4 days now.  Scary storm.  
At one point the ECMWF model showed it tracking across Florida into the Gulf 
making landfall at Orange Beach, AL just west of Touche's slip in Pensacola.  
Got my attention.  Reminiscent of Katrina.
Anyway, whichever way Dorian goes, my thoughts will be with all in its path.  
Best outcomes for you if you are affected.  

I like  for monitoring the forecast tracks of 
tropical storms.  I tend to favor the ECMWF and HRWF models.  
https://www.sfwmd.gov/weather-radar/hurricane-model-plots and 
https://spaghettimodels.com/ are also good resources.
Windy.com will display the storm in an animated fashion.  You can select from 
the NAM, ECMWF and GFS models.  I think windfinder.com relies on the HRWF model 
but also will show the storm in easy to view fashion.

All - thanks for the very helpful responses to my inquiry.  This allows me to

We had great luck using Aurora Clear View to clear up the ports on our Redwing

Installed it to help vent fumes from the alcohol stove.  It's a Lewmar.
It's either a Size 1 or Size 0.

Install wasn't difficult.  Trick was to shim the gap between the bulkhead
and headliner to get consistent thickness all around.

My boat came with a double hatchboard set made out of white HDPE or Starboard 
with a Nicro solar fan built into the upper board.  I think it actually keeps

Re: Stus-List C 35-1 Hatchboards

Nice work Neil!

This summer I fabbed a new set of hatchboards for Grenadine, out of smoked 
plexiglas.  Pics at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GFqSU41Bv0cfXa5BV-eX9rTkK0avRAEe 
.

I wanted the smoked plexiglas for the dark grey color to match my new black 
sail cover, plus to be able to see out when below.

As a special touch I drilled upward-slanting ventilation holes in the pattern 
of the C star on either end of the cove stripe.

Cost me ~$200 for the material, plus an hour or two drinking beer and operating 
table saw and drill press in my crew member Jerrod Milton’s wood shop.

Re: Stus-List 33-2 portlight material

[Richard Bush via CnC-List]

 I took a different tack on this one...after going to school on Dave Godwin, 
(he has a great blog site which documents his complete rebuild of his 37), and 
seeing how wonderful his windows looked, I took out my old windows and sent 
them to Maritime Plastics in Annapolis and had them make new ones, then they 
shipped them to me and we installed them; I figure I spent about $1100-1200, 
which is in the same ballpark as the kits: I am so happy not to have leaks I 
sometimes go sit in the boat during rain just to watch my dry windows!!!

I got this kit (included frames, mounting hardware and new plexi windows) from  
Dan Boisvert @ fixleakyboats.com for my 33-2 in 
2009.  Since removal of the old windows and installing the new ones was a skill 
I hoped to never use again, and because I wanted someone to complain to besides 
myself if the new ones leaked, I had the fibreglass shop at my Marina install 
them.  The new windows have stood up well for 10 years.   Having said that, I 
have friends in my harbour with a C 32 who ordered the kit and the very same 
fibreglass shop had a bit##@ch of a time getting them to fit and they 
complained that the support from Dan was poor.  After removal of the old 
windows, the new plexi is put into place with sealant and the frame provides 
compression to the seal  by numerous through screws with wing nuts on the 
inside of the cabin.  Once cured, the frames outside are calked, the wing nuts 
inside are removed and white nylon cap nuts are placed over the screws.  Looks 
good from outside.  It's not an awful look inside but the nuts are noticeable 
(to me, no one else has ever commented on them) and the shop had to re-install 
the accordian curtains a little higher to clear the nylon cap nuts.  Overall, 
the cost and new appearance was well worth having a dry boat.  Cost for the kit 
in 2009 was about $1500 CDN.
I haven't looked at his website to see if there are other reviews so this is my 
personal experience with these kits

I know that some have used uv and scratch resistant polycarbonate .  (Can’t

Is the material used for the portlights the same as for the (now quite crazed)
