Stus-List Re: Solar Vents

[Matthew]

One of my vents is having a bushing problem or something (making a screeching 
sound).  I reached out to Marinco a couple months ago and was advised that the 
rebuild kit is no longer made.

I did a Google search for nicro solar vent rebuild kit and for parts.  I found 
a few commercial firms selling parts, including motors.  Hopefully this helps..

The Nicro solar vents work quite well when new. However the motor in mine died 
after about 4 years. The unit was imo expensive at nearly $300 and loss of a $5 
or less small dc motor turned it into a much cheaper mushroom vent. So far I 
have not been able to source a replacement motor.

I know my boat ended up in Toronto and there were a few others there being 
restored.

This boat was probably the best sailing boat I will ever own.

Evening Star was refit by Dave Utley and she was gorgeous! He traded up to a 
C&C 48 that he did the same refit to.

Stus-List Re: Calypso 1971 C&C 43 update

[Matthew]

Martin:

 

I believe the 42 Custom is a different (albeit similar)
design.  My understanding is that six were made.  One of the owners has been
keeping track of the boats and reached out to me a few years ago.  As I
recall one or two are in bad shape, but the rest are going strong.  The boat
is more or less a sistership to the first Baltic 42.  Rob Mazza on this list
recently informed me that the design was a development of a 1975 Canada Cup
challenger, Marauder (which he sailed on).

 

I raced against my boat as a kid.  It ruled Lake Erie for
about a year, then was promptly out-designed.  Had someone like me not
purchased it, it probably would be getting ready for the landfill.  The
hull’s balsa core was wet or rotted throughout the boat.  We’ve either
replaced all the bad core where access allowed; or drilled a gazillion holes
on the inside skin, dried out the core with heat lamps, and filled with West
System.  Last year we did the area under the fuel and water tanks (main
salon, starboard side), which I believe and hope is the last of it.  I now
plan to turn to other issues, like the worn interior appearance and those
pesky limber holes.

 

The boat does okay uphill and surprisingly well in
relatively light air off the wind.  It does not point as well as I believe
it should.  Probably a problem with the driver.

 

I enjoyed your note about the true value of a blooper
(keeping these darn boats going straight in heavy air downwind).  I haven’t
had the pleasure of trying it with my new blooper.  I have had the pleasure
of experiencing the relative lack of stability in Lake Erie’s quartering
seas.  I commented recently about Garmin’s wind transducer replacement
program.  Guess how I learned about it?

 

We should compare notes sometime.  It sounds like have a lot
of the same issues.

Matt,

 

I have noticed the same limber hole issue in Calypso’s bilge and dark hidden
spaces. I have been able to improve the function in many place but not all.
Fortunately I did not need to remove any prior owner’s work as it appeared
original. When we were installing the reinforcing “I” beams we made an extra
effort to shape the bilge to promote water flow to the bilge well.

 

One of the last significant bulkhead repair project I need to complete was
caused by one of the “built in”, sealed nooks under Calypso’s nav station.
I discovered the sealed space when exploring how far the bulkhead rot
extended.  I suspect the water in there was part of the rot source.  The way
Bruckmann’s crew finished out the companion way slider and spray hood
eventually allowed water to drip down into this space and the rotted
bulkhead area.

 

I rebuilt the failed structure under the slider with G10 epoxy board (no rot
concerns) and carefully shaped the space to allow the inevitable water
collecting there to flow out onto the deck.  Of course when I had that part
of the boat torn apart I reinforced areas of high load under the traveler to
be sure the loads were still shared by the adjoining structures.

 

Is your 42 an original design or a iteration from the 43?  I heard about one
of the later 43s (maybe Night Train?) that was built with the keel shape
modernized.  I also have heard that the 43 Opus in Vancouver BC is a
modernized version of the older 43 design. I expect the newer keel increases
the performance sailing to weather and in lighter conditions. Back in 1974
Calypso (as Arieto) was modified to rate better under IOR and added a new,
deeper rudder. The modification, bobbing the stern, was designed by C&C.  I
have a copy of the drawings used in case I have the time and budget to
restore the stern to its original shape.

Martin:

 

I can attest that the practices were not updated by 1973.
My boat has all kinds of nooks and crannies where water accumulates.  One of
my pet peeves is that often the limber holes were not placed at the bottom
of the area being drained, but instead a half inch or so above (such as just
forward of the mast).  As a result, the half inch or so of water doesn’t
drain.  I prior owner used Bondo to address this.  However, I discovered
that water works its way in under the Bondo.  I plan to remove all the Bondo
and level the various areas with West System.  Another job on my long list.

Stus-List Re: Solar Vents

[Dennis C.]

I have had what I consider reliability issues with the older Nicro and the
newer Nicro day/night vents.  Having said that, the latest Nicro/Marinco
seems to be doing well.  I replaced the motor in the previous one and have
it as a spare.

My issue with the new Marinco (Nicro) day/night vents is their shape.  The
sides are too vertical and catch lines.

It works.  3vdc.  The battery is 1.5 I think.

There may be a better choice.  Just need to get the motor and shaft

It works.  3vdc.  The battery is 1.5 I think.

 

There may be a better choice.  Just need to get the motor and shaft diameters 
right and the voltage close.

Stus-List Re: Calypso 1971 C&C 43 update

[Martin DeYoung]

Bill,

I will search my photo file for any photos I may already have and ask the few 
relatives (still alive) that lived in Pentwater to see if they have any 
pictures from the past. My grandfather sold the fishing boat/business in the 
50’s and moved to Florida on doctor’s orders.  The hard life of a commercial 
fisherman took its toll on his health.  Once my father joined the Navy (Korean 
war) and experienced what California offered in women and weather he never went 
back to breaking ice to catch fish.

I may also have a picture from when I visited Pentwater Yacht Club in 1989.  I 
was towing a J-24 to Kingston Ontario for the 1989 J-24 Worlds and stopped by 
Pentwater to visit some elderly relatives.  I dropped into PYC and exchanged 
burgees (I am a member of Seattle Yacht club) and received a warm welcome and 
tour.

Whatever I find I will send to your private email address.

Martin, I am a member of Pentwater Yacht Club.  Unfortunately because of high 
water and its age the building will likely be replaced in the next year with a 
new structure.
If you have any old pictures or such from ymthat era qmi would be interested.
 I sail my 36 out of Pentwater.

Neil,



I may be interested and would be happy to pay shipping.  I suggest we wait a 
few days to be sure no other cnc-lister with a +-35 foot boat is interested in 
playing with such a fun sail.



I noticed Whitehall Michigan is not that far from Pentwater and Grand Haven.  
My father’s family was in the commercial fishing and cargo schooner business 
for generations out of that area.  In Pentwater the DeYoung family home/net 
shed became the Pentwater Yacht Club house when my grandfather sold the boat 
and moved to Florida.

Martin,

I may still have a Blooper from our Redwing 35 out in the barn.  I'm not sure 
that it is appropriate but it could be yours for shipping.  There is also a 
reacher, a staysail and a banana staysail out there.  Our Redwing 35 (Red 
Pepper) was purchased to compete in the Chi-Mac.

Alan,



I need to amend my previous statement regarding acquiring sails and racing.  I, 
out of an abundance of nostalgia, feel the need to equip Calypso with a blooper 
and fly it during some downwind club race.  None of Calypso’s bloopers from the 
70’s made it to Seattle so I will start keeping my eye out (maybe some dumpster 
diving) for a suitable ¾ oz blooper.



I expect it will be exciting to acquaint Calypso’s co-owner and crew with the 
nuances of setting, trimming, and driving under a spin/blooper combo.  I have 
many hours/miles driving with bloopers from my Transpacs in the 70’s and early 
80’s but it has been +-30 years since I last used one.  I believe any witnesses 
to our first attempts will be thoroughly entertained.



If I was able to pull this off, the 3 second a mile PHRF rating hit would be 
worth the fun of flashing the fleet with a blooper.  Calypso rarely sails to 
its PHRF rating of 93, especially with its old sails, cruising bottom paint, 
and casual crew.  The last time we corrected out to the podium was in a race 
where half the course was upwind/up current in 25 to 30 TWS.  Calypso reveled 
in the conditions while all those pesky “J” boats suffered from lack of 
railmeat and slid off to leeward.



So we may yet enter a race with a downwind leg long enough for a duffer crew to 
hoist and fly a blooper.

Hi Martin:

Glad to hear Calypso is coming alive again. Will you continue to race, or have 
you retired from racing also? Are you still partnered with what's his name? 
I've been racing in a summer series every Sunday, and that will continue till 
March. I'll give you a call, the next time I'm cruising in your area.

Stus-List A Bit of C & C 43 History

Commodore Kirkwood:

Interesting to hear the name Bryan Simms out of the Bronte Harbour Yacht 
Club.  Back in I think 2005, I bought Mr. Simms Kirby 25 he called 40 
Yard Bin...only someone with the resources Mr. Simms had at his disposal 
would have a K25 like 40 Yard Bin.   I raced it here for 10 years and 
when I decided no more racing and bought a C&C 32,  Mr. Simms' bought it 
back from me.


I understood at the time from the surveyor there I was dealing with that 
Mr. Simms, crew, and 40 Yard Bin were the K25 to beat.  His K25 made me 
and my crew look good.


Just thought I would pass this along.
