 Sorry, my mistake.  I got it, but it was later than the responses to it by 
about ten minutes.  My, 2020 has been a really strange year and now this little 
wrinkle in the flow of time.RonWild CheriC 30-1STL

 Surprisingly, I didn't get Stu's message, only this response and a couple of 
others.  I thought I've been getting everything while the transition was 
occurring; or at least, I never noticed anything missing before.RonWild

Stus-List hatch available

[Graham Collins]

Hello C list

I'm cleaning out the basement.  When we bought Secret Plans I had to 
replace two destroyed hatches and I replaced the main cabin hatch at the 
same time.  It is showing it's age, but wasn't leaking - it just would 
have bugged the heck out of me to have 2 new and 1 old.  I put it in the 
basement in 2009, and obviously have no need for it!


So I've got available, for a Stu donation plus shipping, located in far 
east Canada (Halifax), an Atkins & Hoyle hatch.  It is missing the 
hold-up arm but is otherwise intact and functional. It was 27 years old 
when removed, so the acrylic has the usual crazing, and there are a few 
scratches on top.  Pictures are available, let me know if you'd like to 
see them.

Stus-List Re: Radar mounting options

[Shawn Wright]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for pointing this out - I will add it to our list of places to
visit. It should help to make lists of something other than boat tasks to
complete, as it feels a bit overwhelming at the moment! I often wonder if
it would be easier to just buy a boat already outfitted for our needs, but
then there is the lengthy period of getting to know the boat, and sort out
all the things not done properly...

Speaking of which, I drilled my first hole through the core today, to
install new midships cleats, and was pleased to find the balsa bone dry. Of
course, it started rained just as I got the tools out, but I went ahead
with drilling, and filled with epoxy then covered it with plastic.
Hopefully the epoxy will set up ok. A pretty minor job, but it feels good
to start on something in the bleak mid-winter... (or almost winter).

Stus-List Re: Radar mounting options

[Martin DeYoung]

Shawn,

During the rendezvous I mentioned one of my favorite anchorages on the west 
side of Vancouver Island.

After a little refresher look at a map I believe it is Bligh Cove on Bligh 
Island, Nootka Sound.  I still have not dug my charts, cruising guides, and 
trip log out of storage so I used a BC Parks map.  There is a long inlet up the 
south side of Bligh Island.  At the top of the inlet, north corner there is a 
small cove with a tight entrance.

Once anchored in Bligh Cove, assuming you are the only occupant, it seems to be 
a private amphitheater surrounded with steep tree lined hills.  I recall being 
impressed with the silence once we shut down Calypso’s engine.  At night the 
darkness was total and the milky way was visible straight overhead.

I plan to visit again should we get Calypso that far north and west again.

Subject: Stus-List Radar mounting options

Hello all,

During the rendezvous, there was a brief discussion about radar and mounting 
options. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences with radar, 
and which mounting location (mast, backstay, or on pole/arch aft of cockpit) 
you prefer, and why.

Our 35 had a radome mounted on a pole just off centre from aft deck, supported 
by the pushpit rail. It had been removed when we bought her, and now with 
larger solar panels, I'm not sure this is a good location due to shading issues 
(although I might be able to resolve this with a re-designed arch, or push it 
far enough aft to prevent shading the panels.

I've seen a few backstay mounts, but haven't looked closely at them. I imagine 
there will be some shading issues, but perhaps a bit less depending on how high 
the radome is mounted.

Mast mounting seems fairly straightforward with the right bracket, and since I 
am planning to pull my mast soon for a re-wire and inspection, I will have a 
good opportunity to explore this option.

My dock neighbour has his on a pole, and removes it for racing or when not 
needed, so this is one advantage of pole or backstay mounting - easy removal. I 
probably would leave it on for year round sailing, but would likely take it 
with us to our next boat unless the buyer specifically wants it.

As far as brand, I went with a B Vulcan 9 package with wind, compass and DST, 
so this means I will need a Navico unit: 3G, 4G or Halo (Simrad, Lowrance or 
B).

Although we've only had perhaps 5-6 days in the past two seasons where radar 
would have been useful, with a planned trip around Vancouver Island from 
June-August of 2021, we anticipate some foggy (or smoky) days in waters that 
will be a bit more challenging, and also new to us.

Would love to hear your thoughts...

Thanks
