Re: Stus-List Deal on starter from Mastry

[Dan Grant via CnC-List]

I have a universal M 18 that I have to push the starter A few times to get it 
going it always works but I fear someday it won't 
I looked into getting a new starter and my parts guy said congratulations you 
have the most expensive starter I've seen $1000  
I can get a new Kubota starter which would work fine for about 100
Very confusing
I looked it up and there is something about running A stronger wire to the 
starter
Maybe that's the problem?
I'd like to know myself

 That show was on some cable channel earlier this year.  I watched a couple of

 a unique custom flat water toy.  The star guy was a country singer and the 
 location was in SE USA.  His crew of boat modifiers would not be allowed 
 within 2 miles of Calypso.  My guess is there will not be a second season.

Re: Stus-List Back stay chain plate

[Dan Grant via CnC-List]

Hello all
Hey Martin just wanted to thank you for advice on this project 
I was able to save most of the old chainplate and had no problem glassing it in.
The museum curator was also great in getting me drawings. 
The boat went into the water June 16th and I just now got back from first solo 
sail !
I wonder what big project is next .

 Dan,
 
 Is the mast up?  If so is there tension on the back stay?  If so ease it off 
 slowly...
 
 My advice is not to load up the back stay until the amount of damage to the 
 chain plate is known. That is a frightening picture.
 
 Do you have the original drawings from the Marine Museum?  If not they may 
 have a drawing of what is under that fiberglass.  They are able to send 
 digital copies quickly, paper takes longer.  IIRC they search by boat type 
 and size.
 
 How good is the access to that space?  If you are still in a DIY mood and 
 fit back there I recommend you purchase a tyvek suit, full face dust mask, 
 and a 4 to 5 grinder.  Save what you can to use as a pattern to have a new 
 chain plate manufactured.  Use epoxy not polyester to bond in and 
 re-laminate the area.
 
 Sailing Anarchy's Fixit Forum has several good threads going on now and 
 recently major boat repairs including chain plates and other major 
 structures.  Once you sort out the less than useful comments there is some 
 very good boat repair information there.  West Systems' web site also has 
 related how to videos and documents.
 
 Calypso's co-owner and I are 2 years into some major repair/restore projects 
 on our Bruckmann built CC.  Many things were done well during the build.  
 Keeping water from leaking around deck penetrations was not one of the areas 
 of excellence made worse by lack of maintenance over the decades. The good 
 news is the boat is worth the effort.
 
 Good luck,

Hello all 
My mainsail is the original from 1970 .
It has a C with the maple leaf in it . 
I'm guessing that its a bit stretched out and that's why I can't point into the 
wind as much as I should be able too .
Also after this years use ( on the last run home) I noticed the maple leaf 
starting to tear off . 
I guess it's time for a new main

Re: Stus-List Farley Mowat and thanks, and All Is Lost

Yes I have to agree here 
and also when he had that hole in the hull from the container . He kept heeling 
the boat over only to see water pouring into the cabin 
It reminds me of Einsteins definition of insanity  when you repeat the same 
procedure over and over again expecting to see a different result 
Isn't that something as sailboat owners we are all guilty of ! Haha just tryin 
to be funny and of course the main character made plenty of mistakes but that's 
Hollywood 
Also Yanni please can you elaborate on this situation a bit more on how you got 
yourself in this situation of being run down etc. sounds like a real story 
unlike Hollywood maybe something we can all learn something from

 Farley Mowat also had the distinction of being banned from the U.S.
 He was getting on a plane in Toronto for a book tour in the U.S. when he was 
 told
 he wasn’t allowed in. He was on a list of Anarchists, Communists, and other

 Not a book, but has anyone seen the sailing disaster film, All Is Lost, with 
 Robert Redford?
