Re: Stus-List Mast light

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

The winter before last a tree fell onto our mast stand. Luckily only the
quick-fit base for our masthead tri-light was damaged. Aqua Signal wanted
so much for a replacement base that I decided to just replace the
whole thing with the LED version.
So far the light has performed well. It's much brighter and seems more
secure. The old masthead light included a strobe. It always seemed too high
for the base.

Re: Stus-List Binnacle mounted Ritchie Globe navigator compass

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

Captain Andrew J. Rae and Sons in Halifax just rebuilt my Ritchie
Globemaster. They replaced the dome, the 12V light assembly, O-ring,
clamping ring, base assembly and fluid. I picked it up this afternoon and
I'm very pleased with it. I asked if they are able to source parts in
Canada. They said no, they have to order from the USA.

Stus-List Garhauer traveler

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

Hi Gary
I just read your reply to Chris.
I too have a 30-1, with the original traveller. One of its stops is jammed
and must be released with pliers. I'm looking to replace it and have looked
at the Garhauer catalog. What do you recommend?
Thanks

Re: Stus-List recommendations for a small bilge pump

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

Hi Mike. On your recommendation I tried to chase down a dealer for Water
Witch. Stright-MacKay said they don't sell the product, although they're
listed on the waterwitchinc web site.

The web site recommends ordering from a Canadian dealer to save on shipping
fees, etc. I emailed the company asking for an east-coast Canadian dealer
and was referred to Western Marine, in Vancouver; not really east coast.

I was in Halifax over the weekend, picking up an order at The Binnacle. I
asked Lyle Dobbin if he knew of the product. Within 2 hrs he texted me to
say he could get me a Model 101. He suggested that I act quickly and hope
his dealer had stock to avoid the new import duties.

I'll have to wait a bit for delivery, but I'm really happy with the service.

Thanks to you and to Lyle.

Re: Stus-List Radar Reflector

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

Last season, I managed to snag the main halyard on my radar reflector (tube
type) without noticing while I was attaching it to the main in a brisk
wind. When I raised the sail, the halyard sliced through all the cable ties
attaching the reflector to the shroud.

The reflector clung to the halyard and I lowered the sail to retrieve it.
About 10 feet above the deck, the halyard released the reflector, which
conked my wife on the head as she was waiting to catch it.

It took a few minutes to ascertain whether she had been badly injured; not,
but she had a goose egg.

The reflector bounced into the water. I swam to retrieve it, still bobbing
around not far from the boat.

Re: Stus-List Preventer or boom brake for C/1

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

I have been using the main sheet eye as attachment for my temporary
preventers, but the angle to the toe rail is far from 90 degrees. If I can
find a way to create a new, strong attachment point aft of the vang
attachment eye, then I think I'll get a better angle.

In a Nov-Dec 1998 article in Good Old Boat, Jerry Powlas describes a rig on
his 30, which is basically 2 vangs. One attaches to the port toe rail and
the other to the starboard. The vang line is one piece which runs back to
the cockpit, along the transom and back on the opposite side. He can
tension it to either side and cleat it.

Re: Stus-List Preventer or boom brake for C/1

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

No, I have a "rope" vang. Your idea is a good one, but I would like to have
permanent preventers running to both sides and adjustable from the cockpit.

Re: Stus-List Starting problems

[Derek Kennedy via CnC-List]

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and expertise re my starting
problem.

It turned out to be a loose ground wire at the engine.

I needn't have installed a new ignition switch, but now I have a spare. And
I've learned a couple of valuable lessons. Lesson number one is: Ask first.

Temperature for tomorrow is predicted to be mid-20s here. That's about 300
Kelvin, I think. A good day to slalom among the lobster buoys in St
George's Bay.
