Ahoy! I changed the bulb. Yay! However, the wire and socket and now-working bulb slipped out from the transom fixture and into the bilge (naturally!).

Stus-List changing stern light
Ahoy! Bulb is out(?) in the stern running light. 1) what is the the bulb for an OEM 1978 36-footer? 2) suggestions for swapping the bulb while we're in the water?

Yup, they're Merrimen blocks! To get the frozen shieve apart, it required
surgery. Any ideas if replacement shieves, pins, rollers, etc. can be obtained

Stus-List dumb question time...INDIGO
Greetings, Here is an interesting solution to updating some of INDIGO's gear, particularly the rigging. We have an opportunity to buy a boat like ours (same year/model). However, the available boat has a new mast, boom, standing rigging, furler, sails, etc. There are some new winches, pedestal, etc. All this for $15K. Is it feasible to buy the second boat, swap the newer gear for our older gear (that we're preparing to replace anyway), put our older gear on the second boat and either part it out or donate it? Maybe our yard would not do this work for us. Anybody wanna free boat?

Stus-List two helms?
Greetings, Our new-boat quest has shown us that many new boats come with two helmseven in a 40-footer (ie Tartan 4000). Maybe we are just old-fashioned, but we don't think we want two helms. I imagine twice as much maintenance, twice as many instruments to purchase, and twice as much to go wrong. I know the design allows the boats to carry more beam aft and visibility increases.

Hello Richard, Our 37+ carries 80 US gallons of water, split over 3 water tanks as follows: Tank Capacity, Water: 299 litres (66 Imp Gal. - 79 US Gal) Bow Tank: 87 litres (19 Imp Gal. - 23 US Gal) Port Tank: 106 litres (23.3 Imp Gal. - 28 US Gal) Starboard Tank: 106 litres (23.3 Imp Gal. - 28 US Gal) This was the factory set up in 1990. I assume this is what all the 37+'s really have except a few that never had holding tanks that carry 100 US Gallons of water. Our's started life with four water tanks and no holding tank as it was originally located in Halifax, NS, where overboard discharge used to be permitted. We find that enough for two couples for about a week if we take a bit of care. We can usually go for a swim or two every day where we are (typically the Bras d'Or Lake system) so we may shower only every 2nd day. I prefer the traveller on the bridgedeck in the cockpit, but that's me. I like to trim and tweak sails frequently so I find it's location there ideal.

Is that enough for weeklong-or-more cruising? Showering? How do you like the mainsheet/traveler in the cockpit? Is it in your face? How would you rig a bimini?

Greetings, As our quest for a more comfortable boat continues, we are finding that one issue continues to be a quandary: how do we sleep? Currently we fill in INDIGO's u-dinette every night and disassemble it every day; it is effective but annoying. Plus we have to climb over each other and the saloon table. We are looking at center cockpit boats, including the Landfall 43s. Many have a centerline berth, which seems optimal. We don't sail at night and don't plan to (so we are not afraid of falling out underway). The transverse and pullman style berths both have the "crawl-over" factor; do we want to keep climbing over each other to get into/out of bed forever? Not really. Pullman seem a little more sleeper-friendly. Anyone want to share their experiences with various styles of aft cabin berths? What do you like/dislike and why? Other boat search factors: we need a functional galley with abundant counter space. We don't race, so PHRF matters not at all. We want good/great sailing with ease of sail handling. This will (hopefully!) be our forever boat, so we want to be planful. Thank you all in advance for your consideration.

Greetings, After almost 10 years aboard INDIGO, our 1978 36-footer, we are considering moving to a different boat. We would like a heavier coastal/bluewater cruiser with more comfort, better tracking, more convenient sail-handling (in-mast or in-boom) and a master stateroom with a centerline berth (which pretty much requires we buy a center cockpit boat). We are looking closely at Bristol yachts; they seem to meet all of our criteria, especially the 43.3 and the 47.7. Does anyone have any experience with Bristols, especially the 43.3 and 47.7? Any other Bristols we should consider? Any other boat brands we should consider?

It not only works better, but it pretty well eliminates having small bits of fibre released into the air while you are working with it. Mine is wrapped with what was then (1978) standard header wrap, which is an asbestos cloth about an inch and a half wide. On my YSB12 engine, the outlet of the cast iron exhaust elbow is fitted to an iron pipe nipple, which is fitted to an ordinary 90 degree black iron plumbing elbow, which is fitted to a copper hose barb. The 90 degree plumbing elbow eventually rusted through where the water pooled just inside from the hose barb fitting. My first and only clue that something was amiss, was water in the bilge. I couldn't tell where the water was coming from with the engine off, and could only see it by climbing into the starboard lazarette with the engine running. The water was coming through the header wrap alright, but it was not possible to tell where exactly it was leaking without removing the wrap.

Re: Stus-List Bounty sinking today
we'll see if the owner had any decision-making authority and what his role was in BOUNTY sailing out. Apparently his response to the sinking has not been typical; he has not cared for the rescued crew as he should have. Instead of stepping up and paying for the crew's relief, they have been abandoned (again!) this time in hotel rooms with no clothes, etc. The dead crew member's family is scrambling to pay for her funeral.

Harry,
Disagree on
the traffic/bike issue. The island has a
pervasive
network of bike trails. The only
limitation is the strength of one's
legs.
-
On
moorings, yes there are lots available, but they're
expensive
compared to laying down your own anchor.
I
know lots of people are uncomfortable anchoring, but the more
you do
it, the more you'll swear by it as your preferred
method of mooring.
(Having good ground tackle, a sweet bow
roller, and kickass windlass
makes this much
easier)
Cheers

Stus-List (now anchoring/windlass)
Greetings, I admit I am completely ignorant when it comes to windlasses. INDIGO (1978 36-footer) has a double bow roller, but we only fly a single anchor. We carry a Danforth anchor on 33 feet of chain to braided rope rode. Like a schlub, I just set it and pull it up by hand. My questions: Would a windlass be a welcome addition to our anchoring arsenal? What about the chain/rope connection? Can a windlass accommodate two anchors on the bow roller? Brand/model recommendation(s)? (We are partial to Lewmar for our winches) What else do I need to consider? Thank you, Richard --- On Wed, 8/29/12, Richard Walter wrote: From: Richard Walter Subject: Re: Stus-List Martha's Vineyard Cruise next week (now anchoring) To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Date: Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 3:54 PM I agree with Colin, I have anchored comfortably at Vineyard Haven (and other places). I agree too that anchoring is the way to go. When I anchor, I feel smarter and more sailor-ly. Heck, I paid for the anchor, chain, and rode, I'm gonna use it. Also, every night anchoring saves us enough $$ for another dinner ashore!

The island has a pervasive network of bike trails. The only limitation is the strength of one's legs. - On moorings, yes there are lots available, but they're expensive compared to laying down your own anchor. I know lots of people are uncomfortable anchoring, but the more you do it, the more you'll swear by it as your preferred method of mooring. (Having good ground tackle, a sweet bow roller, and kickass windlass makes this much easier) Cheers CK On 8/28/12, Harry wrote: > Danny, > Keep the anchor dry...Vineyard Haven moorings are always available. > Traffic > is tough on bikes...1, 3 or 7 day bus passes are cheap.

You only have to drop a sheave or break a cable once and have to use the emergency tiller just once on a 39 to remind you that the steering system maintenance should be at the top of your annual list of necessary items to do at least once a year. Steering the boat by hand with a 48" long stainless tube was almost impossible and took a great deal of rigging to make it work. I have since modified the tiller to allow me to use either the primary winches if under motor and a set of handybillys if under sail. Both are a PITA but work. Also, for laughs try sailing your boat with the emergency tiller just to make sure that 1) you can do & ) can you do it sea..

They keyway is easy to observe by taking off the retaining nut on the wheel. My money would be on the loose cables. They stretch over time. On my 35-3, they are a bear to get to, but easy to adjust with 2 crescent wrenches.

Stus-List sad ending

The saddest comment I heard was when the owner/skipper stated, "...my wife has gone below and the boat is underwaterthe boat has sunk..." Very sad.

Stus-List ...now: adding water tankage to a 36-footer
Greetings, We have a 1978 36-footer. We have the OEM hard water tank (20 gallon?) for fresh water and a soft tank (15 gallon?) . We use the 20-gallon tank almost exclusively for galley wash water and need to refill 4-5 days into a cruise. We use the soft tank mostly for showering and usually get 6 showers out of it. We carry three 5-gallon Coleman jugs for drinking water. I'd like to increase the water capacity, especially in the galley water. Any ideas? Anyone done this? Can we tie into the existing tank(s)?
