Re: Stus-List CC 37plus Draft

2015-03-25 Thread Fair, Mike via CnC-List
I draw 6' 2  and go pretty much everywhere in the islands and buzzards bay. 
Westport is narrow but you can get in. Not much available on the South Cape 
area but Stage Harbor, Falmouth Green Pond, Hyannis should be accessible.
Quisset, Red Brook, Marion, Onset, Mattpoisett, New Bedford, Padanaram all can 
accommodate you.

Robinson's Hole is risky. Don't ask.

Subject: Stus-List CC 37plus Draft

Hi Guys,

I've got a 37plus on my radar but the draft is 7'-3  I think that may be a bit 
too deep, I don't think I'd be able to stay where I kept the Viking and I do 
like that location.  I also think it may limit some harbors out on the the 
islands in and around buzzard's bay...

Would anyone have any comments about the deep draft and it limitations around 
Cape Cod, south coast and the islands?

Re: Stus-List Dingy Repair

2014-08-07 Thread Fair, Mike via CnC-List
I have '94 Achilles that has spent June thru November on a mooring all it's 
life. One fall  after a month's absence I came to the boat and found that it 
had deflated and submerged the motor.   I resurrected the motor and got a quart 
of the latex sealer sold to stop pin hole leaks.  I added it to the 3 air 
compartments and then rolled the dingy all around the lawn to cover all the 
interior surfaces.  Pumped it up and left it in the barn all winter. It held 
air fine. Still does 2 yrs later.

Hello fellow CnCer's,

I have a mercury inflatable dingy. It has been a challenge ever since I 
purchased it. Dealing with keeping it clean, managing it at the marina (no 
dingy racks), repairs, etc. has not been fun. My current issue is a slow leak 
in the forward seam. I have read about a sealer that can be inserted through 
the air hole and is supposed to seal the seam from the inside. Several 
questions: has anyone had any experience with this repair, how do you get the 
sealant into the air hole (it seems to be too small to pour it in), do you have 
to remove the air intake valve, does it work, what is the best product and 
where can I get it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 We used to race against a ? ton special painted black called 007. 
 Boat-for-boat we were as close to dead-even as could be but we owed them 
 time. If memory serves we rated 126 and they were 130-140 something. I found 
 out Rust-Oleum (yes those guys) make marine paint at something like ?-1/4 the 
 price of the ?marine? brands that apparently works well when brushed on. I am 
 going to try it on a cockpit hatch and see how it goes. You did luck out with 
 the A4 ? there are always deals on parts for those for determined scroungers 
 and many of the diesels of that era have NO parts at all available anymore.

 Thanks for the offer, Joe. You never know with these old A4s.
 
 I?m sure you are right about the estimate but I have some wiggle room before 
 I get to the value of the boat. The PO was planning on salvaging the rig and 
 crushing the hull so you can imagine what I might have paid. The boat looked 
 tough but most of the issues (and there are a lot) are cosmetic.  After three 
 weeks we are ready to get her in the water and do some sailing before the 
 season is over. I have spent so far just over $1500 and a LOT of elbow 
 grease. My wife is a very good seamstress and she is willing to do the 
 cushions including adding some back rests. We already have the materials in 
 hand (Sunbrella). I am not using Awlgrip, just some decent deck and epoxy 
 paint. The hull is in good shape and I will not be completely stripping the 
 old paint. It is in good shape, just a little beat up and the wrong color. I 
 am keeping in mind that this is not ever going to be a show boat. Just making 
 it look good and feel good for two to spend a weekend on board. If sails come 
 into !
 the picture that number goes out the door. We will see where it all ends up 
 but I am confident at this point that my efforts on this boat will (for the 
 first time in my life) probably come back to me when I sell her for a bigger 
 boat (the real upgrade). My guess is that I could have at least tripled my 
 purchase price without doing anything but what fun is that?

Rebuilding heads seems to be a popular activity at this time of year; I

 The previous weekend I dumped four gallons of vinegar into the system to clear 
scale off.  It worked for the joker valve, but I was still having issues with 
the pump losing prime and not drying easily without holding the valve leaver 
down.  Once apart, it was pretty obvious why - the metal backing washer from 
one of the inlet valve had corroded off the rubber piece, and while I was there 
I just changed all the parts that were in the service kit.

Joker valves seem to be common across head designs, and a necessary evil, but I 
am fed up with having to rebuild the pump on the Headmate once or twice a year, 
so am planning to replace it this winter.  Can anyone share experiences with 
their heads (ours gets very light use, strictly no solids)?  I am considering 
the Jabsco Twist n Lock or the Raritan PHC.

As usual, it had become scaled up.  I threw the old one in some vinegar and 
most of the scale dissolved but the rubber was so distorted it was dumpster 
material.
I coated the new joker valve with TefGel hoping to get more life out of it.  I 
think Peggy Hall, the head mistress recommends Super Lube for heads.
Also, I read that throwing some vinegar in the head routinely minimizes scale 
build up.
This really isn't a big thing for me.  I get the valves wholesale for under $10 
and changing one is only a 10 minute job.  But I'd sure like to skip it 
altogether.

Others have given you good advice. Just count the turns on the shrouds as you

 Hi All,

 I made a stupid newbie mistake when we stepped the mast. In my defence it was 
 a busy, windy, choppy day and we had to hire a crane to come to the club to 
 step everyone's mast .. and I helped everyone, so when it came time to do my 
 boat I was kind of on autopilot. We stepped 29 masts that day.

 So I failed to remember that there are wedges fore and aft at the mast base 
 that keep the mast centered in the step. My girlfriend says to me the other 
 day while pointing at a pair of wedges in the boat .. did you forget to put 
 the wedges in the partner? Um, no I did not. Then I realized my mistake and 
 took a look at the mast base ... the mast is seated all the way aft. I guess 
 this would cause some forward rake? I'm all ears in regards to how this might 
 affect the rig, sail shape, etc?

 In any case, I'de like to center the thing and put the wedges where they are 
 supposed to go. I know I can loosen the tension on the rig and I've used 
 halyards in place of the forestay and shrouds on previous occasions to fix 
 this or that but even with the rig tension way down is the weight of the mast 
 itself going to prevent me from sliding it forward about 1.5 inches? What 
 would be the correct order to loosen the rig? Backstay, lowers, uppers? I'de 
 rather not futz with the forestay if I can help it but I did just disconnect 
 it about a week ago to fix a kink in the furler so I'm not shy to do it again.

 Any help/recommendations are much appreciated.

Stus-List Battery Equalization

2014-05-15 Thread Fair, Mike via CnC-List
My 2 house batteries do not charge up to 12.8 V and since they are only a year 
old and charge only up to 12.6V I want to try to equalize them.

Has anyone had any positive EXPERIENCE  with the Pulse type chargers that claim 
to have an equalize stage?
I was considering something less than $100 and with a 1.5 amp rating.  I have 2 
group 31 deep cycle batteries.

I will be going thru my changing circuit on my boat this year but in the 
meantime I hope to de-sulfate my 2 batteries.

I am not interested in starting  a whole new battery charging discussion. That 
has been covered in detail here and on other various forums .

Re: Stus-List Shackles and chain

An excellent 25 lb bronze one came with my boat and I all ways use it. It is 
very helpful if you anchor where the currents shift with the tide. 

I can put 70LBs of metal near  or on the bottom. But only retrieve 40lbs at a 
time. Much easier on the back.

 On the topic of anchors and anchoring.  Does anyone have any thoughts 
 on kelets or anchor buddies?


I ALWAYS use a kellet made from a small vinyl coated mushroom anchor, a couple 
of carabiners, 30 feet of small diameter line for retrieval, and one of these 
so it glides up and down the anchor line:

Open the pulley and slip it over the rode. Slide it closed, and hang the anchor 
on it using the carabiner. Retrieval line is tied to the carabiner. Easy-peasey!

In over 50 years, in conditions mild to wild, I have never dragged while using 
a kellet. I consider it essential, and it really is nothing to deploy and 
retrieve it.
