Stus-List Re: Original Waterline Dimensions

2024-05-29 Thread John Read via CnC-List

The width varies  over the length of the boat - narrow at mid-section, wider
at bow and widest at stern.  If still available, trace the original OEM
edges.  If not and memory serves there is a process using a fluid filled
clear tubing where you can trace the edges.  The idea is to maintain a
visual constant height as the hull flare changes.  Holler if questions

Listers,

 

Talisman is getting painted this week and we will need to redo the
waterlines. Does anyone know the original factory waterline sizes? Looking
at the brochures, it looks like a 5 or so-inch line on the bottom and maybe
2 on top. Also, has anyone done the C&C inlay with gold leaf paint? Source?
Thanks.

Hi John. Teflon packing works great.  Check with Brer Rabbit.  Their 33-1
engine is mounted backwards with a v drive so the stuffing box is under the

Stus-List Re: going all pex

2024-01-17 Thread John Read via CnC-List
I replaced my fresh water piping with PEX last winter.  Original fittings were 
cracking and piping had flavor to it. Fittings were all press on plastic by 
Watts Aqualock available through www.freshwatersystems.com 
 .  No special tools required,  Also replaced 
pump and galley faucet as old ones were 40 plus years old.  Biggest issues were:

1.  defining the correct fittings to fit in cramped spaces
2.  removing galley sink to gain access under – lots of boat yoga and 
inaccessible rusted fittings
3.  cutting piping to correct length as is not very flexible especially 
when colder

 

Overall came out very well and no leaks

Hello Matthew and all,

replace with a new set for $700 worst case. So I plan on going forward with 
that approach.

I second using Butyl tape - particularly the Bed-it brand. Not sure exactly 
what your chain plates look like. I resealed my chainplates on my 34 with 
bed-it in 2020 following recoring the deck in that region and haven't had any 
leaking since. I suggest making an angled (e.g. 45 deg) cut in the fiberglass 
around the chain plate on the top of the deck if there isn't one already so 
that the bed it tape will have some thickness between the fiberglass and the 
chain plate. Clean the surfaces with acetone or alcohol. Roll a bead of tape 
and push it in as hard as you can - and add enough so it is sticking up a bit. 
Then press down the little plate that holds that in place (with a single layer 
of bedit tape under it) and screw in place gently.  Come back and tighten the 
screws slowly over the course of a few days so that the tape has time to flow.  
Clean up excess tape around the outside using a sharp knife to cut it around 
the edge of the metal plate.

Stus-List Re: winter storage

2023-10-18 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Tipping is one of the main reasons I store mast down.  Mast presents a lot of 
windage in cold winter storms.  Puts a lot of pressure on small area of poppet 
that actually contacts the hull.  To experience how much just stick your arm 
out the window of a car going 60!!  Use steel cradle purpose built for the 
boat.  Yard adds one extra stand port and starboard.  No problems in 25 years.

The key to keeping mast up during winter is the cradlethe boats with 
inadequate or damaged cradles are at risk.  I have seen several boats at my 
club where the boats have toppled and it was the cradle that failed in every 
instance.

And for loosening the rigging in winterno need if the rig is properly tuned

first in extreme cold.

I race and cruise our 34 - love the boat and have owned for 24 years.  Came
with Barient 28 as primary mounted aft and 22 as secondary mounted forward.
Under powered for the 155 genoa and symmetrical spin.  Got some used Barient
32 about 20 years ago.  Mounted aft for genoa.  Moved 28 to secondary for
spin and 22 to cabin top for main sheet.  Perfect!!  If there is a breeze a
slow tack is essential to let the crew trim the genoa on the new tack.
Release as sail starts to luff.  Skirting is always an issue.  Often a crew
will be at the new leeward turning block to help gather line and then lift
clew up and back for the final feet which usually solves the skirting
problem.  Also have a crew stationed at mast to help genoa get around the
baby stay and handle the skirt.  It takes practice but is definitely fast 

 

All winches are serviced annually and work just fine.  All have aluminum
drum and the 32 were losing their grip on the line.  Took the drums to a
machine shop to get them lightly knurled.  Now they grip like new but also
can slip when you want to.

Hello all,

I have attempted to search the archives for information and opinions on new
primary winches for C&C34, but was not able to locate a discussion.  If
there has been, my apologies.  It has become apparent that the old, Lewmar,
self-tailing, 2-spd winches that came on my boat are not adequate -- in a
moderate wind with a 155 genoa it takes two crew cranking with all their
strength to bring the sheet in far enough.  I and the crew are not getting
younger, either -- average age about 65 to 70.  I don't know the details of
gear ratios and power ratio for these old Lewmars, but am investigating so I
have that as a reference.  If any of you C&C34, or similar sized boat,
owners have recommendations for replacement, 2-spd, self-tailing winches, I
would be grateful.  I frequently sail solo and hope to be able to continue
for another 10 to 15 years (if I live to be 80!), so I need to factor that
in the decision.  Also, any experiences or recommendations for the actual
removal and installation would be great too!  Thanks.

2023-07-02 Thread John Read via CnC-List
On my 34 while the mast was out I drilled 2 small holes in the aft “wall” and 
forced in 2 small plastic tubes so the water dripped into the bilge.  Also 
drilled a small hole in the bottom aft of the mast so the water could easily 
get into the box.  I clean each tube with grass trimmer line as part of annual 
maintenance.  Works well.

On the 1989 34R, the maststep is a deep welded aluminum box with wooden spacer

wooden blocks always looked wet.  I added two 3/8" drain holes and also 
scallopped the bottoms of the wooden blocks so they left a path for water to 
find those holes.

Stus-List Re: Bilge Pump Intake Hose

2023-06-07 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Had exactly the same issue on my 1982 34 on three separate occasions.  First 
time was mud wasps had built a nest in the discharge pipe near the outlet.  The 
screen in the fitting there had corroded away leaving an opening for the wasps. 
 The solution was to fit a hose sprayer into the hose at the pump, turn it on 
and out came nest.  The sprayer was a twist type, no handle which fit snugly 
into the hose.  I manually held it in the hose while twisting the sprayer on. 
Second was a kink in the hose as it rounded a sharp bend on the back side of 
icebox.  In my case the hose runs from the bilge under the floor boards takes a 
hard left and up to the discharge at the toe rail.  Solution was a new hose – 
nothing special just used automotive hose.  Third was a blockage similar to the 
first.  Same solution

On my 1980 C&C34 the electric bilge pump outlet hose (3/4”) runs through the 
cabinetry in the head to the outlet just below the toe rail. The manual bilge 
pump outlet hose (1.5”) runs under the engine and loops up to the Gusher in the 
cockpit on the starboard side.

 

I replaced my manual bilge pump hose this spring. The previous owner had used 
sanitary waste line, which was really stiff and had cracked. I just used 
corrugated sump pump drainage hose from a hardware store.

I put it in a bucket of water and the pump worked fine. I followed the hose in

I replaced my fuel tank a few years ago as a precautionary measure to avoid pin 
hole leaks in mid-summer.  After much discussion was advised to have a new 
aluminum tank fabricated of aircraft grade material to match the old.  Main 
reasons to not use a plastic tank are they are supposedly designed for an open 
air situation, not permanently installed in the interior and are susceptible to 
rupture in a fire spilling fuel on the fire.  Yes cost more but peace of mind 
is priceless.

Listers:

 

Hope all is well.

 

First, I have a question.  A friend of mine who owns a C&C 41 
(probably ‘80s vintage) discovered that his aluminum diesel tank is leaking.  
He plans to pull it tomorrow to confirm.  I talked briefly with Bill Coleman on 
this list, and he suggested replacing the aluminum tank with a plastic tank.  
Does anyone know a source for a plastic replacement diesel tank that will fit 
this boat?  (I assume it’s about 20 gallons.)  Please advise.  Thanks.

 

Second, I thought I’d report on a recent discovery you may find 
interesting.  As most of you know, my boat is a C&C 42 Custom, “Custom” meaning 
that it was not a production run boat and was built in the Bruckmann shop.  Six 
of these  “stick boats” were built in the mid ‘70s.  Every year about this time 
of year, I get annoyed by a stubborn crack that appears near the top of the 
forward edge of the keel, near the top where it meets the hull.  As most of you 
understand, this is the front of the so-called C&C smile.  On my boat, the C&C 
smile crack runs along the bottom of the hull where the keel is mated, more or 
less parallel to the bottom of the hull (the “main smile”).  However, I have a 
second C&C smile that starts at the forward edge of the keel about four of five 
inches below the forward edge of the main smile, then tapers up toward the 
bottom of the hull, eventually meeting the main smile about 2/3 of the way back 
to the aft edge of the keel.  I never understood why I get this “second smile.”

 

A few weeks ago some water was seeping out of the stubborn crack at the front 
edge of the main smile, and I asked my guru to find out what the heck is going 
on.  After some grinding and drilling, he informed me that my keel was probably 
not made to fit my boat.  Instead, the keel from another boat was adapted to 
fit my boat by creating a lead “wedge” piece (sort of like a big shim) that is 
widest at the forward edge of the keel and tapers going aft.  This wedge fits 
between the top of the original keel and the hull, giving me two mating seams 
and thus two C&C smiles.  Apparently, my boat is very happy.

I dropped my rudder for repairs some 10 years ago and to my recollection,
the 34 system does not have a lower bushing or bearing.  Rather is just a
close tolerance fiberglass tube.  The outside of the tube is braced by
fiberglass struts to the interior of the hull.  Top of the tube ends about a
foot or so from underside of cockpit floor to provide space for steering
quadrant and be well above water line.  Shaft continues up through cockpit
floor square cast bronze fitting held in place by 4 bolts.   Fitting hole
for rudder shaft is also close tolerance so threads for donut ride on hole
edges.  This is the real issue as over time the threads enlarge the fitting
hole allowing the rudder post to wobble.  Hence the solution to remove the
fitting and insert a new bushing.

 

On a related note, the tube should have a threaded hole for a grease cup.
Ensure that is working so you can insert grease as part of normal
maintenance.  I replace the cup with a hydraulic hose with fittings so I
could insert grease from the locker and not have to crawl back there

On Persistence website www.hoytsailing.com <http://www.hoytsailing.com/>  at
the bottom of the page is a link to the rudder bearing replacement project
that we undertook two years ago.  Different boat but much of it will be
similar.

 

At least you will not have to deal with a steering  quadrant and a bunch of
cables so access should be better.  We found that the lower bearing (was in
fact a bushing) had screws holding it in place that we did not find until we
cut out the old bearing.  Look closely for these screws while you are
enjoying all the comforts of crawling around in your cockpit locker!

Seeking sources to replace the shower drain.  It apparently uses parts from
the Jabsco little pal 1 ¼ hand pump – the angled intake base 33839-0100 plus
foot strainer with integral disc valve  33632-0100.  After much internet
research and phone calls these parts are no longer available and have been
unable to locate them.  Any ideas on locating them -or- a suitable
replacement?  The shower pan can tolerate only this design or very similar

Stus-List Re: Replacing cabin windows

2023-02-09 Thread John Read via CnC-List
I did the windows myself on my 34 over 10 years ago.  Biggest issue was the 
plexus the factory used to attach the original windows would not release 
causing damage to the gel coat underneath which required repair.  Major PITA.  
But all is well that ends well.  Windows still going strong no leaks.  Used the 
SIKA 295 system.  Key to stay within shelf life and follow directions exactly.  
Sensitive to temperature and humidity.  I used small pieces of 1/8 inch tubing 
to ensure window was proud to the gel coat and screws at each corner to hold 
plexi in place while the SIKA cured.  This ensured adequate thickness of the 
SIKA so it could flex as the boat moved.  Just removed screws and filled holes 
with SIKA after it cured.  Be sure to mask and tape everything anywhere near 
the windows as is impossible to remove if some gets to an unwanted surface.

 

Best of luck

2023-01-16 Thread John Read via CnC-List
 

My 34 came spinnaker equipped.  

 

No matter what, the baby stay MUST be released and stowed back to the mast to 
allow for gybing and full aft pole trim.  If your baby stay is permanently 
attached to a pad eye, then you will need to change end fitting for a releasing 
type.  I have track with shackle so can adjust mast bend and allow for quick 
release or attachment.  I can gybe either dip pole or end to end.  I prefer end 
for end as is simpler.  Accordingly I rigged pole with bridles for both pole 
lift and downhaul.  Had to install block into deck with backing plate for down 
haul bridle 

 

Downhaul must be separate line from the guy.  They serve different functions.  
Ours goes through series of “eyes” on deck back to a jam cleat in cockpit next 
to winch for pole lift.  Main purposes of downhaul are to steady pole and 
prevent “skying” of spinnaker (very exciting btw).  This needs to be adjusted 
whenever any change in guy.

 

Pole lift enters mast through fitting in mast about 2/3 way up.  Is rounded 
exit with sheave.  Goes back to winch on cabin top 

 

Will need winches – We have 2 secondary in cockpit Barient 22, 1 for pole lift 
on cabin top Barient 10 and one for halyard Barient 10

 

Will need track on mast, sliding fitting for track and fitting on pole end.  
Have to be able to adjust pole height on mast for gybing and trim.

Good day,

I finally found a pole for my recently acquired symmetrical spinnakers, and 
time to get the boat setup for spinnaker, and was hoping for some input from 
the group.

The boat has never been setup for spinnaker.

1.  Baby stay - it is currently fixed and not adjustable and I believe the 
purpose is to introduce a bit of mid mast bend to flatten the sail, and also to 
prevent excessive mast flex when pounding up wind. I would think that this 
needs to be disengaged to make gybing possible. Any suggestions other than 
mounting a track on the cabin top? 
2.  Gybing - if I could temporary disengage baby stay I could dip gybe. End 
to end gybing may be possible if baby stays engaged. Does anybody have any 
experience with gybing asymmetrical on 33-2?
3.  Downhaul - I could mount hardware on deck for downhaul (I would assume 
deck would be strong enough with just a backing plate? Or another option would 
be to run sheet and guy, and use the guy, with a forward lead, as a downhaul. 
Not sure if the angle would be sufficient, probably OK though. 
4.  Topping lift - there is an entrance maybe 2/3 up the mast. I would 
assume this has a sheave (I will go up the mast within the month, but wondering 
if anybody knows if there would be a sheave. I would think there would be but 
wanted to check.
5.  Mast track - seems like lot’s of work was just thinking of a single 
attachment point head high(ish).

Anyhow as you’ve gathered the boat was never setup for spinnaker. We will do 
some local club racing and also cruise, and looking for some input, or some 
good online resources to help me make the decisions on what needs to be done. 
Also we only have a pair of primaries and an addition pair is not in the short 
term plan.

Thanks!

Subject: Stus-List Wind instrument conundrum

 

I have a Garmin 10 series instrument set on Water Phantom with 4 GMI 10 
displays, GWS 10 wind transducer and a Garmin knot-meter/depth sounder all on a 
NMEA 2000 backbone which I installed about 10 years ago (?). 

 

This is connected to my Garmin 547(1?) chart plotter and this has worked fine. 

 

Now the wind transducer anemometer is 'sticking' in light air and I may need to 
replace the mast transducer unit entirely or at least the anemometer and wind 
vane.  I can replace the cups and the vane for less than a boat buck and will 
probably try this before I consider going with Garmin's gwind replacement--the 
GWS 10 is no longer produced although I may be able to find one. 

 

My issue is that per Garmin phone support, if I go with the Gwind I MAY have to 
also go with the GND 10 black box, depending on the exact model of my GWS 10 
transducer. Apparently this is used to make the Gwind talk to Nexus and may be 
needed to interface to my existing network. Of course I likely cannot get the 
exact model and serial number of my current transducer without going up the 
mast!

 

My question for any NMEA experts on the list is:  

 

Can I just plug the Gwind cable into my 2000 backbone and forget about the GND 
Black box? Since I don't use nor plan to use any race software for my club 
racing, I don't see the point plus adding another box to convert something 
seems antithetical to the principles of NMEA 2000 which was to let compatible 
instruments talk to each other without such conversions IIRC.

 

OTOH, if the GND box is necessary to get Gwind data to display on my current 
system, I may have to bite the bullet and do it or find another transducer that 
doesn't require the box which could bring a host of other problems mixing 
instrument manufacturers! 

 

Thanks in advance for any wisdom the list may send my way,

Stus-List Re: Encapsulating keel

2022-12-19 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Good Lord – why even think about such a project.  Boat is designed for external 
keel and to change to internal is a massive undertaking which will add a lot of 
weight.  I am not a naval architect but would have to believe this will also 
change handling as keel profile will be thicker.  Also will also impact resale 
value.  Won’t do much to alleviate strain on keel bolts as boat is designed for 
that.  

If your concern is access to the keel bolts, there have to be easier ways to do 
that including removal of engine which is not that hard for experienced yard.

John,

 

Butyl is the way to go on these. The hatch is only held in with self tapping 
screws. 

 

As Paul mentioned the seal can have issues on the very back of hatch where the 
joint is.

My Atkins & Hoyle hatch in the head has developed a leak between the aluminum 
frame and the deck.  Have tried various sealants which all have failed mainly 
because they lose adhesion to the vertical aluminum surface.  Cannot figure out 
how to remove the frame so I can clean it and reseal (with butyl?).  There are 
no visible flanges.  It is a tight fit to the hole cur in the deck.  Has anyone 
had similar issues?  Is there a flange on the frame that is sealed to the 
underside of the deck?  Is it just glued in with plexus or similar?  All

I was at the Mystic one last night. I live about a mile from downtown and my
boat is right across the river from Seaport Marine. When the explosions
started happening we rushed down. It was caused by an open neutral on the
power feed from the building to shore power to the boats in the water. It
was blowing hard as well and we were lucky to not lose more than we did.

Stus-List Re: C&C 32 Babystay

2022-11-25 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Our 1982 34 came with baby stay.  Attached to deck mounted track which is in 
turn attached to rod through deck with turnbuckle and screwed though hull into 
forward section of keel.

 

Some say it is not needed.  My experience and position is it is absolutely 
needed and very beneficial.  Going upwind in moderate conditions like 10-15 kts 
true and 1-2 foot seas it stops the considerable mast pumping and flattens the 
main.  Just lie on the deck looking up the mast in these conditions and observe 
the mast action and impact to the main with the baby stay tensioned and not.  
Also watch your speed through water.  Like night and day.  Of course as 
conditions become more severe the more beneficial the baby stay becomes.  For 
cruising in mild conditions no big deal but if racing a very big deal.

Subject: Stus-List C&C 32 Babystay

 

So, I believe that my 82 C&C 32 had the option for a babystay.  It's listed in 
the brochure, and there is a fitting for what looks to be a t-ball fitting just 
above the spreaders.

 

No deck fittings on my boat though.  

 

Has anyone gone to the bother of installing the deck fitting?   If so, would 
you mind advising me on how you went about it?

 

Did you go for a fixed point, or track?  Chainplate to bulkhead; transfer the 
loads through deck to stringers below or beef up deck?  Also, how did you 
tension?  How was it stowed?

 

I'm interested in installing the babystay to beef up the rig a little.  The 
rod-rigging is of indeterminate age, and while it has been professionally 
inspected and passed muster, I am a belt for braces guy and I was thinking the 
babystay might offer some redundancy.

 

I appreciate all advice and speculation offered.

 

Thank you.

The good thing about the older design is that when cruising, you can sail with 
just the genoa. I drive some friends crazy with their modern euro boats that 
cannot sail without the main up. I am pushing 7 knots, towing a dinghy with a 
135 genoa in a 15 knot breeze and they can not keep up under full sail. Most 
modern boats today fall into that category.

Hello Dwight,
Did you use any bedding compound in the smile before you glassed?
I was planning on doing some tightening this winter and was contemplating
squeezing 3M 5200 into the smile before tightening and then glassing the

Stus-List Re: Tiller wobble

2022-08-05 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Had same issue on my 34.  Could see the doughnut nut and shaft top wobble
about.  Could also move bottom of rudder side to side easily.  Also had
issue of rain and water leaking past doughnut nut and suspected caused by
nut and delrin washer not sitting square onto plate.  Have regularly greased
shaft - have tube and grease fitting.  Steers like butter. Very smooth.
Fixed wobble when on the hard by supporting rudder, removing plate secured
to cockpit floor, found hole for shaft was worn and was larger diameter than
threads of shaft.  Had machine shop replace bronze bearing of correct size.
The bronze bearing wears over time as interfaces with stainless threads of
shaft.  Reinstall.  Wobble gone and water leakage is now minimal.  Biggest
issue is crawling under floor to get to nuts holding plate,  2 man job as do
not want to rotate bolts so as to not disturb butyl sealer so 1 below
working the nuts and 1 topside keeping bolts from moving

My 1980 34 C&C has a tiller that wobbles excessively when running with
engine at 3,000 rpm.  A cursory inspection does not show any adjustment or
easy bearing replacement.  All bolts are tight. There is some slack, maybe
1/8" when testing the tiller by moving back and forth at the dock. Has
anyone else experienced this?  Is there a known easy solution short of
replacement?  Should I be concerned.  This seems to have gotten worse over
the years.

I found the 25 was insufficient as primary winch so replaced with Barient 28
which I picked up second hand.  Moved the 25's to secondary placement and
the 22's one to main sheet.  Yes  involved new holes but a tremendous
improvement especially for the 155 genoa and spinnaker.  None are self

Subject: Stus-List vented loops

 

Learned the hard way how to test vented loops. 

 

I was changing engine hoses and came upon an original, 33 year old, bronze, 
vented loop for the engine cooling water.  It's located between the heat 
exchanger and the injection elbow of the exhaust riser.  It's purpose is to 
break a siphon and prevent water flooding the engine and the boat when the 
engine is off.  Mine was filled with scale and no longer operational.  

 

The following comes from info included with a new Forespar vented loop.  To 
test a vented loop, you blow air through the vent from outside into the tubing, 
through the "duck bill" rubber thing, and that's it.  If air won't penetrate, 
it's clogged and should be cleaned.  If the thing leaks, it probably needs 
cleaning or a new rubber duck bill. 

 

I replaced the Forespar rubber duckbill, $15, on my bilge pump hose and I 
replaced the entire loop fitting $44 on the engine hose using a Forespar 5/8" 
vented loop.  Now both of my vented loops use the same duckbill vent and have 
the same size retaining nut so a simple clear two foot length of 3/4" hose can 
be pushed over the fitting to facilitate testing either vented loop. 

 

I have to add that I never had a problem in twenty years of ownership and 
ingnored these items until I started replacing hoses.  I'd be glad to hear 
anyone else's ideas on this.

Hi David

 

I used to charter my 34 but only through direct referrals and check out of
the applicant.  One week charters 2 or 3 times a summer.  Had to stop as the
insurer would no longer allow on a casual basis.  Checked around and found
similar policies.  Would have required a commercial policy at huge increase
in premium to make it non viable.  Stopped chartering.  This was all about
10 years ago so do not know current insurance requirements.  One avenue
might be to charter through an agency.  I recall there are a few in Newport.

 

BTW, congratulations on your Bermuda success

Hello,

 

We are back in New England and will be aboard Corsair playing through the
end of July.  The boat, will then sit idle through October.  Seems a bit
crazy to just have it sit there, especially when I am hearing (and seeing)
charter rates of $4,000 a week?!

 

Besides the usual concerns (insurance strangers aboard your boat etc.)
anybody have experience with a long term or short term charter of your own
boat and could impart some perspective and reality check.

 

As always, thanks in advance.

Very simple and effective system I have

1)  Ease sheet and vang.  Take up on topping lift so end of boom does not 
come too far down.

2)  Lower main halyard – insert reef point into horn attached to boom at 
mast – tighten halyard

3)  Take up on reef line.  Line is attached to port boom a few inches aft 
of reef point, goes up through cringle, back down to starboard turning block 
also a few inches aft of reef point then forward to winch on boom.  Loosen 
sheet and vang and topping lift as needed.  Winch tight, cleat.  (Note:  
outhaul uses same winch and is held by jam cleat aft of winch)

4)  Trim vang and sheet

I think that Kuuma are the closest as a direct replacement, but they don't
last too long. Depending on how you use your boat, you may want to consider
a water heater with a stainless tank. I installed an ISO-Temp heater (they
are now part of the Webasto group). They come with the temperature
regulating valve and they are supposed to be quite reliable. But the cost is
usually a bit higher.

It is a Force 10 and could even be original. Since they are welded on it is
time to replace. I noticed that Force 10 no longer makes them and Kuuma is
now the closest replacement? Looks identical. Anyone have one of these?

should be some sort of turnbuckle  or threaded device somewhere.  Issue of 
corrosion of rod head (stainless) and aluminum block?  By chain plate are you 
referring to some sort of block that the rigging attaches to?  When the rig is

Not quite sure what you mean by upgrade, but in my case the OEM winches were

mainsheet.  I picked up 2 Barient #28 from this list as primary, moved the two 
#26 to secondary and one #22 to mainsheet.  HUGE improvement in trimming sails 
and still working just fine.  FWIW I disassemble, clean, grease and oil on a 
regular basis usually in spring.  All are aluminum drum and not self tailing as 
I do a fair amount of racing.  This list and Ebay are your friends.  Also

I guess I was wrong.  The problems started when I put the cutting board
footer in the emails.

Now we have identified the problem -- it is not with the list but
specifically with how some email programs and providers handle the

2022-03-07 Thread John Read via CnC-List


I run Windows 10 and use a gmail account which receives all  messages just 
fine.  I use Outlook 2007 to read the emails and separate into several folders. 
 By this means I can delete emails I do not want to keep as gmail saves 
everything.  The only time I have a Outlook problem is this list.  Some get 
converted to attachments .txt and .htm, and some come through just fine.

I googled "why does outlook change incoming email to attachments".  It is most 
apparent this has been an ongoing problem for Outlook for many years.  Several 
threads with Microsoft Tech Help are listed.  I am no computer genius so have 
no idea what they are talking about but one thing did stand out for me.  Having 
URL or attachments in the body or at the end of the sender's email is a 
probable cause for the issue for the recipient if using Outlook.  There are 
fixes per Microsoft which could explain why some senders work fine and others 
do not depending on how their particular computers are set up and how up to 
date they are.

My thought would be to try removing the cutting board notice for a while and 
see what happens?  Also is there a computer genius who could coordinate with 
Stu, review the various threads and perhaps contact Microsoft?

2022-01-07 Thread John Read via CnC-List
My C&C 34 now 40 years old and nary a problem in this regard.  Prior boat 25 
years nary a problem.  I think the issue has more to do with how the rudder is 
constructed.  If just shaped foam covered with a few layers of glass and even 
better is water logged then might be a problem.  Mine is solid glass 3-4 inches 
thick around entire perimeter and is dry so no problems.  John your 36 has 
older thick not really tapered design so most likely not an issue for you.

 Not quite the same risk but last summer (2021) when Calypso was hauled out for 
paint and repairs the PNW experienced a stretch of very hot weather. It was 
enough sustained heat that all the white lithium grease around the rudder 
bearings “melted” and ran down the rudder to puddle on the tarp (ground). 

 

Fortunately it cooled down before we got around to stripping/painting the 
rudder.

I posted reminders to refill the packing gland before launching but after all 
painting was finished. It took most of a grease tube before I observed a 
suitable amount of grease squirting out of the usual places.

A quick internet search indicates caution using windshield washer fluid in 
potable water lines.  Most fluids use methanol also known as methyl / wood 
alcohol  to prevent the freezing.  Methanol is highly poisonous and can cause 
blindness.  It may be ingested through air, skin or mouth.  May also be 
corrosive

 

The water system antifreeze are usually based on propylene glycol which is 
considered generally safe unless ingested in large quantities.  Propylene 
glycol rarely causes toxic effects, and then only under very unusual 
circumstances. Propylene glycol is a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) food

food products, propylene glycol acts as solvent.

 

In both cases, thorough rinsing of the potable system is recommended

2021-12-29 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Hi Joel

 

Just a thought would your friend be better served to rebuild his current 
tranny?  No issues of fit or ratios and a lot less cost.  When the Kanzaki 
KM3-A tranny on my Yanmar 3GM started slipping, it was near impossible to find 
a replacement.  Had it rebuilt by a local marina / transmission shop and they 
botched the job which I understand is easy to do.  I wound up getting it 
rebuilt by a very knowledgeable and experienced fellow in New Jersey.  He was 
the tech who actually did the rebuilds at Mack Boring the east coast 
distributor for Yanmar.  When they went out of the rebuild business he set up 
his own shop.  Shipped it to him by parcel post, he turned it around in a week 
and I had it reinstalled just in time for a charter.  That was 2016 and running 
like a champ ever since.

Stus-List Re: Rudder shaft play

2021-12-03 Thread John Read via CnC-List
So I believe we have a plan.  After discussions with other C&C owners whose 
rudderpost arrangement is similar the culprit is the stainless plate bolted to 
the cockpit floor.  It has a bronze bushing through which the rudder post 
passes.  That plays a significant role in keeping the shaft in alignment.  Over 
time it wears and enlarges, allowing the top of the shaft to move.  The fix is 
to support the rudder while on the hard, remove the donut nut, then remove the 
plate which may entail lots of boat yoga under the deck as the nuts are 
extremely close to the steering quadrant.  Take the plate to a machine shop and 
have them remove the old bearing and press in a new bronze / oil bushing with 
ID closely matching shaft OD.  Reverse the process to install.

 

It was suggested to cut an access hole and install an inspection plate in the 
vertical face behind the helm seat to improve access to the steering system.  
Any words of wisdom from the group?

2021-11-19 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Yes John you do have a boat problem  J

 

I assume the topside of the binnacle is good?  Issue will be corrosion.
Stainless to aluminum is an issue.  What are the bolts interacting with
below deck?  Other thought is the aluminum bolts lasted many decades without
damage to the binnacle.  Any luck googling for causes of aluminum bolts
corroding / failing?  Legacy's aluminum bolts are fine by all accounts after
40 years.  One possibility is the nut loosened, allowing the bolt head to
loosen just enough to allow water to seep in and cause corrosion.  Just some
thoughts.

 

Best of luck

All,

 

I was aware that my bolts in my steering assembly below the pedestal were
failing when I noticed a gap on the bow side of the sheave assembly this
summer. After trying to tighten one of the aluminum bolts it crumbled. Had
two remaining good ones in the stern and limped the way through the
remainder of the season. Today loosened the steering cables to start to take
apart the assembly with the intent of fixing in place with new bolts. Having
had a similar but more catastrophic failure on our past 1989 37/40 XL I can
see that the assembly itself is in good shape. My question is the use of the
aluminum bolts. Since that is what failed should I switch to stainless? May
be a good question for Rob Ball but wanted to see what others have used.
Thanks!

Stus-List Re: Water along toe rail

2021-04-30 Thread John Read via CnC-List
Old face cloth. Cut in half. Fold over. Insert in toerail hole. Half hangs

needed as gets funky.  Cheap and effective. John Read
