I had 2 mystery leaks on my 34 + that traveled in the overhead.

One turned out to be an overhead hatch as mentioned by Douglas below.

Pulled the hatch and re-bedded it.

 

Another was the mainsail traveler mounting.

Pulled the traveler and re-bedded it.

Hey Listers,

 

Our 36-1 has had mystery leak since we owned her, and it only shows up in heavy 
rain. On the port side main cabin water is coming down the enclosed molded 
ceiling headliner that butts against the forward teak bulkhead just forward of 
the chainplates. It is a completely in accessible so short of starting to cut 
apart the ceiling I cannot find the source. So far, I have:

 

1.  Removed and rebedded the chainplates, though it is not coming from that 
area it is above and forward.

2.  New handrails and re-cored deck where wet. Have access to all fasteners 
and they are dry.

3.  Removed all winches etc around mast area, ran all lines back and redid 
decks. 

4.  Rebedded mast collar where it meets the deck.

5.  Resealed around the bulkhead stainless tang that has the small 
stainless plate on deck.

 

So, my only two intrusions that are in that area are the mast itself and the 
above mentioned stainless tab. Somehow water finds a pathway in the enclosed 
ceiling and dumps right into the port side shelf. If my wife happens to be 
sleeping in that berth at the time you can guess what happens next. With all 
the heavy rain last year it was constantly wet. 

 

What I have not done is to add more sealant to the deck fasteners that hold the 
mast collar in, but they look well sealed. I think I am going to remove the 
tang plate completely and redo that. Will double up on the mast bedding at the 
deck seam and the fasteners. Any suggestions are welcomed!

When I installed refrigeration on Touche' (1971 35-1), I was curious about
the existing insulation.  I removed the galley sink and cut a section of
the adjacent bulkhead away to inspect.  The insulation was about 1 1/8 inch

Stus-List Mast step fun

2024-04-25 Thread Matthew Wolford via CnC-List
Listers:

 

I thought I’d share this in case anyone has an interest.  On my 
42 Custom, I’ve been monitoring a small separation at the front end of the keel 
where it mates with the boat.  I may have mentioned this previously, but my 
boat has two “C smiles.”  For whatever reason (presumably to use an existing 
keel mold) my keel has a modification at the upper front edge: a wedge, or shoe 
(or whatever you want to call it) was fitted to fill space between the keel and 
the boat at the upper forward edge of the keel.  While investigating how the 
wedge is secured to the boat, we decided to tighten all the keel bolts.  
However, two of the bolts are located under the mast step, which had to be 
removed for access.  The mast step is a rectangular box made of aluminum that 
spans three stringers fore and aft.  In removing the mast step, we discovered: 
a) support for a head wall was constructed on top of the forward port corner of 
the mast step and had to be cut away, strongly indicating that the step has not 
been removed in 48 years; b) the weight of the mast on the mast step was being 
borne almost entirely by the middle stringer directly underneath the mast (not 
the other two stringers fore and aft); and c) the mast step has bent about 3/8” 
of an inch fore and aft, strongly indicating that the center stringer under the 
mast has compressed by that much over the years.  In addition, because the mast 
step evidently had not been removed previously, the two keel bolts located 
underneath the mast step had not been checked or tightened in 48 years.  All 
keel bolts have now been checked and tightened, some minor rot of the middle 
stringer is under repair, and the mast step is being modified with two holes 
for socket extensions so it no longer needs to be removed to tighten the two 
keel bolts underneath.  We considered replacing the aluminum mast step with 
stainless and re-setting it to spread the load more evenly across all three 
stringers (presumably the original intent), but the rig appears to be 
reasonably happy so we’re just modifying the old mast step as described above, 
repairing the middle stringer, and reinstalling.

Hi Dough,

I posted a bunch of photos when I upgraded the refrigerator in my LF38.  I have 
never gotten around to provide a detailed write up, but I am real pleased with

It runs great and consumes about 25 AH a day in July/August Florida.

Stus-List Re: opening port replacing fixed lenses on 1984 C

2024-04-25 Thread Matthew Wolford via CnC-List
Pete:

 

I replaced the fixed windows on my ’78 C 34 with Lewmar opening ports 
(roughly the same size and shape as the 70s vintage 33/34 oval windows).  The 
issue with opening windows is that they must lay flat to work correctly.  It 
took considerable effort to get this right on the 34 because the cabin top 
surface where the original windows were installed was not perfectly flat.  It 
was a great upgrade for hot days, but the more the surface curve (top to 
bottom/fore and aft), the more difficult it will be to install them correctly.

Stus-List Mystery Leak

2024-04-25 Thread John McCrea via CnC-List
Hey Listers,

 

Our 36-1 has had mystery leak since we owned her, and it only shows up in
heavy rain. On the port side main cabin water is coming down the enclosed
molded ceiling headliner that butts against the forward teak bulkhead just
forward of the chainplates. It is a completely in accessible so short of
starting to cut apart the ceiling I cannot find the source. So far, I have:

 

1.  Removed and rebedded the chainplates, though it is not coming from
that area it is above and forward.
2.  New handrails and re-cored deck where wet. Have access to all
fasteners and they are dry.
3.  Removed all winches etc around mast area, ran all lines back and
redid decks. 
4.  Rebedded mast collar where it meets the deck.
5.  Resealed around the bulkhead stainless tang that has the small
stainless plate on deck.

 

So, my only two intrusions that are in that area are the mast itself and the
above mentioned stainless tab. Somehow water finds a pathway in the enclosed
ceiling and dumps right into the port side shelf. If my wife happens to be
sleeping in that berth at the time you can guess what happens next. With all
the heavy rain last year it was constantly wet. 

 

What I have not done is to add more sealant to the deck fasteners that hold
the mast collar in, but they look well sealed. I think I am going to remove
the tang plate completely and redo that. Will double up on the mast bedding
at the deck seam and the fasteners. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Stus-List Re: opening port replacing fixed lenses on 1984 C

Hey Pete,
I went the other direction. You shouldn't have an issue, the flange should
cover everything on the inside.
Unless I'm missing something...

Stus-List opening port replacing fixed lenses on 1984 C

2024-04-25 Thread pete.shelquist--- via CnC-List
Over the years I’ve replaced the side fixed windows on my ’84 37 multiple 
times.  I’m considering glassing over where the lenses sit and installing 
opening ports.  Probably two on each side.

 

I’m reaching out to the group to see who has tackled this project and are there 
suggestions on how to best finish the inside to make it look decent.  

 

Thanks,
