I had my spreaders re-tipped at one time.   A local guy did it.I now do 
rigging work and have a local machinist who is able to fabricate spreaders.   
Your rigger should know someone who does that sort of work.

Adam, I have a 1978 C&C 36.  I replaced my ports with Bomar 2000 Series opening

Re: Stus-List Climbing the mast solo

2017-03-17 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
I have been using a top climber for about 15 years.   I generally tie it off to 
the toe rail on my C&C36.The tighter you can tie it the better off you are 
and the easier the climb.   Likewise, if you have stretchy halyards it is 
helpful to have an assistant in case you need to take up the slack created when 
the halyard stretches.It isn't as easy as it looks on the ATN video.

All. NAVTEC has gone out of business.   At the moment it looks like Hayn is 
trying to take up the slack.   You should be able to have the balls made by a 
local machinist however, I would look at changing the rigging to either newer

Steve,   Make sure that you take a good look at the knees which the shroud and 
back stay chain plates attach.   These are a known weak spot on boats of our 
vintage.About 9 years ago the tabbing on one of mine started separating.  I

About every 2-3 years I find that I have to snug up on some of the toe rail

Re: Stus-List Mast Step Box 1980 CnC36

2017-01-09 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
Steve,  it's been a while since I unstepped my mast but I do remember that 
there is a keel bolt located under the aluminum plate.   If I remember 
correctly the "box" is what appears to be wood glassed to the hull.   If it 
were my boat I'd unstep the  mast and make the repairs.   I know that isn't 
what you want to heat but given some of the problems I've had with my boat over 
the years I recommend a complete and thorough inspection.   I'll be interested 
in hearing what you find.

Re: Stus-List Standing Rigging Rust

2016-11-15 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
Mark,   Most turnbuckles are made of bronze with a chrome coating.   They 
should not show any sign of rust.   The studs and toggles ends may show some 
sign of rust but it should clean off very easily with any good metal polish.   
As for the 1X19 wire I recommend that you get the rigger who put it all 
together to take a look.   There shouldn't be any sign of rust on the wire 
after 1 year.   

As previously stated you can have some transfer from the dyes during the 
swaging  process but again it should come off easily.

 The tank is a Kracor brand, and the tank's walls and bottom appear to be

 Does anyone have a suggestion?  Is there some adhesive that I can apply 
 the threads of the barbed fitting??

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

2016-03-27 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
I bought sails from Rolly Tasker through National Sail years ago.I had a 
problem with one sail and they made good on it.   They sent a replacement.   
For what they are they aren't bad sails.   I even won a couple of races on 
those sails.  I'm now using North sails and can tell a difference in both the 
sails and my checkbook.

Re: Stus-List NAVPOD

2016-02-14 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
You can always make the "O" ring to size by super gluing two into one or 
cutting a very large one to size.   Cut at a 45 dog angle at the glue joint.   
That is how we used to do it in the Navy when we didn't have the correct size.

Re: Stus-List List Also looking at a C&C 36 - engine at an angle?

This allows you to remove the shaft without removing the rudder.  It also means 
the boat pushes to port while going ahead and pulls to port while going astern.

I also own a 1978 C&C 36 CB.  I've owned the boat since 1997 and although  I've 
not  documented all of the work I've done I am very familiar with the boat 
having done a major repair to the chain plates, repower, and rework of the 
centerboard.   There are not many C&C 36's of this vintage however there are a 
number of them on the Chesapeake with 3 being in the Hampton Roads area.

Re: Stus-List Painting a Edson Pedestal

2015-07-24 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
I did a complete overhaul of mine 10 years ago.   After pricing the cost of 
materials,  not to mention my time I had it professionally powder coated.  It 
cost less, took less time and still looks like it did when I reinstalled it.

Re: Stus-List salt water siphoning into sink

2015-02-20 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
My 36 does this.  My solution is to close the valve while underway,  I wouldn't 
rely on a check valve to prevent flooding.  My Navy experience tells me they 
are prone to failure.

Re: Stus-List 34 offshore

2015-01-30 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
Richard, If It is like my 36 CB it will be a bit tender but I've learned to 
reduce sail early and the boat does just fine.   In fact going to wind with 
less sail has its advantages.

Sail Safe,

Re: Stus-List The stern squats at high speed

2015-01-13 Thread Mike Brannon via CnC-List
Tom,  My 36 does the same thing.  It did with a fixed prop and it does it with 
a two blade Max Prop.  I believe I also have an 18" prop but am not sure off 
the top of my head.  If its fairly flat I can get 7 knots.It bothered me 
when I first got the boat but I'm rather used to it now and just accept it as 
normal squat.

Re: Stus-List 2 unrelated questions:

Paul,  I also own a C&C 36 and lived aboard mine for 3 years while stationed at 
the Pentagon.   You can contact me at ff1...@aol.com for any questions you may 
have.   

I do know that there were two versions of the interior and the one I have is 
not compatible with living aboard.  

What year is the boat?
