Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit

2014-10-16 Thread Ebay via CnC-List
Francois

For cruising purposes you may want to take a look at Doyle's UPS or similar 
product.  It's essentially a smaller chute on a simple continuous line furling 
drum.  The drum attaches to any convenient fitting with a snap shackle.  By far 
it is the easiest system for a 2 person crew to manage.

I've used both the tacker and various socks over the years.  While they work 
reasonably well the furling system is just in another league in terms of 
convenience.

Just another option.

Re: Stus-List Solar panels and charge controllers

2014-10-14 Thread Ebay via CnC-List
I've been very happy with my tiny sunsaver charger.  I think 20 amps is about 
$80.  Probably not the best out there by any means but effective and reliable.  
This really all comes down to what you're doing with the boat.  Acceptable for 
long term cruising is different from weekend sailing in the US.  Not better or 
worse, just different needs.

I wouldn't discount high quality rigid panels for power to $ value.  

But again, keep it simple

Re: Stus-List Solar panels and charge controllers

2014-10-14 Thread Ebay via CnC-List
Josh:

You've certainly given this a lot of thought.  Don't overthink or overbuild it. 
 KISS

If it were me, I'd go with two 100 watt panels back to a single $50 controller 
and keep the wiring as simple as possible.  Keep in mind you're talking about a 
system that will deliver about 60 ah per day (12v). Frankly I wouldn't even 
worry about a load assuming you're wiring it directly to a battery bank of any 
size and not through a switch.  

You may also want to look at panels from RV stores which are usually identical 
but lack the boat related price.  Check model numbers carefully if you go that 
route.  Keep in mind the weight going onto the Bimini as 4 50 watt panels will 
nearly double the weight of 2 100w panels.  You'll also double the mounting 
hardware, etc.

Just my 2 cents.

John

Re: Stus-List wife dosen't like it when the boat leans

2014-09-20 Thread Ebay via CnC-List
Ditto all the other comments.  For my wife, it was lessons with a captain to 
learn docking skills (she almost always docks now), working the main during 
races, and most importantly, a "friend" who made fun of her one day.  It wasn't 
so funny at the time but certainly motivated her.

20 years and about 10,000 miles later she can more than hold her own against 
experienced sailors.  And yes, she took more than her share of night watches 
offshore.  

Love that woman!

Re: Stus-List Landfall 38

The 37+ had at least 3 standard keel choices - centerboard, deep and shoal

believe the 34+ was the same although I don't recall ever seeing a centerboard

Can't help on the 115 but our 121 is great in light air.  Flat water and 10

Re: Stus-List 1988 or 1989 C&C 37+/40 with atypical Ports, what gives?

Now I'm really betting on VZ work (which could be a good thing)

A link to pictures would help.  Most likely something a prior owner did but... 
C&C did a lot of custom work In the later years.

Stus-List Marine ssb installation

2014-08-10 Thread Ebay via CnC-List
Does anyone have experience with the "rope antenna".  It certainly appears to 
be an alternative to using the backstay and does provide options for placement. 
 Is there any reason to not simply wire tie it to the backstay?  As it is 
insulated I don't see an issue from the radio side.  Perhaps potential for 
interference from the backstay itself which in this case remains a part of the 
boat's electrical grounding system?

On a different note -   we have always had to place the antenna tuner very near 
the backstay and by default the autopilot.  With this antenna that placement 
could move to be just forward of the mast, just inboard and aft of the shrouds, 
etc.  Any thoughts on ideal placement?  I will be using the KISS counterpoise.  

Please keep in mind all of this is for a hobby installation that I would like 
to be fairly permanent.  No grand cruising plans in the foreseeable future.  
Mast is carbon (C&C 121).

Take a look at mastervolt.com

No firsthand experience with them but look very interesting.  No cheap.

Re: Stus-List Thoughts on repowering with outboard

Have you considered electric?  It really comes down to how much you motor vs. 
sail.  A 27 would be a prime target for electric - either a bolt on "pod" or a 
motor mounted where the a4 is.  Personally I just hate the look of outboards 
hanging off the transom so am willing to go to extremes to avoid it.
