Stus-List Re: Mega Hin

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER]

Hi Ken,
OK, so correct me if I'm wrong, after reading your attachment explaining a 12 
character HIN in this time period, the first "M" stands for Mega, "0020" means 
hull number 20, and the second "M" means model year to follow, "78" was the 
model year and "I" in this method means, April. 

What year was she built?

Thanks,
Chuck

The " M " is a fixed character indicating " Model Year Format " and never
changes.

This is a HIN VERSION B. " Model Year Format ". 12 characters, in use from
November 1, 1972 to August 1984.

From what I know
Peter Barrett is credited as the designer, he did have a few under his belt 
with some Olympic medals
Conceptual wise I believe was more my Dad’s idea.  He was looking for a boat 
that could be trailered and “cheap” to add to C’s production line.  Then gas 
prices went up in 1978 and the whole idea wasn’t really accepted by the 
consumer.  
The design group of course was part of the team that produced it

Hey Jon,
M for May or March?  A for August or April.  I think HIN was explained 
correctly already.

BTW, my boat has a D in the HIN.  The builder file shows it was started April 
7th, the fourth month and delivered in June.  I have hull #2 and by December, 
they were up to hull #21.

Stus-List Re: Propane Stove - Not Staying Lit

[Josh Muckley]

To Tom's question "did you hold the knob in?" the reason why you need to
hold the knob in is to allow the thermocouple time to heat up in the heat
of the lit burner.  Once hot, it stays open and keeps the flame.

As a point of clarity I called it a thermocouple which uses a peltier
junction to generate a voltage to hold the valve open.  But there is a more
primitive means of accomplishing the same effect and that is with a
bi-metal valve or temperature sensitive bulb and valve.  I'm not sure which
technology you'll find but hopefully you have a better idea where to look
for solutions.

Stus-List Propane Stove not staying lit

[Len Mitchell]

Edd, 
What Josh said but try cleaning them first with a small brush. Something like 
an old tooth brush. The orifice is under the burner cap and should be clean and 
grease free too. They need direct flame contact and no carbon. They generate 
millivolts to prove there is a flame. You can get a millivolt tester but they 
are hardish to find and easier to just replace the flame sensor. It’s really 
unlikely two will go bad at the same time so maybe check the electrical 
connection to the valve too if cleaning them doesn’t work. If the air mix isn’t 
correct or the opening is dirty you will get carbon deposits so the flame 
should be blue not orange once the burner is hot.

Len Mitchell

Hi Rob,
So the Mega was conceived by Peter Barrett, representing North Sails and then 
designed by Rob Ball's team?  

I look forward to reading your article on lifting keel boats. 

The S2 7.9s were very popular.  I think the smaller 6.9 would make a nice 
trailerable boat for my future purposes.

Thermocouple is bad.  It is the safety device which ensures that the
propane is shutoff if the flame goes out.  When hot it opens, cold closed.

Listers,

Two of the burners on my three-burner stove do not stay lit. They will flame 
up, but when I let go of the dial, they die out. One is working perfectly. 

Any suggestions on a fix?

[Robert Mazza]

Chuck,

The design of the Mega 30 is erroneously ascribed to Peter Barrett on
Sailboatdata.com. I'm sure Rob Ball will also chime in here to defend his
design. Peter Barrett, representing North Sails, worked closely with George
Cuthbertson in the creation of the Mega concept, but the execution of the
design, for good or evil, was entirely C Design Group. I should know
because I was the Project Manager for this design. ;-)

Incidentally, the prototype of the Mega was built in aluminium by Martin
and Danny Klacko at Klacko Marine.

On a related note, I included the Mega 30 in a recent Design Comparison
piece on lift keel trailerable boats that will appear in the next issue of
Good Old Boat magazine. .

[Robert Mazza]

Hi JohnKelly,

I'm sure others will respond to this as well, since it is easily available
online. The Hull Identification Number is as follows:

*Manufacturer's Identification Code**Manufacturer's Serial Number**Commencement
of Construction**Model Year*
*ABC* *2AB41* *G0* *91*

*1.2.2.4.4 Table 1-1 is a typical example of a complete
twelve-digit HIN for a vessel where fabrication commenced in July 1990 for
the 1991 model year.*

Therefore  ZCCM0020M781 would indicate this was hull #20. However,  in the
regulations for the HIN, there is no month designated as "M". December is
the last month and is designated as "L". The "7" would indicate that it was
built in 1977, which would befit hull #20. The last two digits are supposed
to be the Model Year, so 81 would not make sense for a hull #20 built in
1977. Curious.

Hey Stu,

Thanks for putting that together.  It was great to match faces to names from 
the list.  JohnKelly had some great stories to share.  I also enjoyed the glam 
photos shared by the various members.  I look forward to the next one.

Mega:  I always found the Mega interesting for the lifting keel idea, as it is 
a boat you can trailer home for the winter and trailer to exotic sailing 
venues.  The keel idea showed up much later in trailerable sport boats like the 
Ultimate 20 and Antrium 27 and later the Melges and Viper 640 boats.  The Mega 
was such a departure from the C racer/cruiser style boats, I always wondered 
if the Mega was designed by a different team of designers than Rob Ball and his 
team.
