Re: Stus-List C&C 29 mk2 rudder

The funny answer is that you can drop it once!

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist that answer.

Hello.

I am looking for advice on the same topic for my 86 29-2 so anything that
answers Bob's questions below will be greatly appreciated by myself as well.

I hauled after purchase a year ago and the rudder was badly blistered.   I
only had a week to work with (and a gazillion things to do)  as I was
transporting and launching the boat to get it off my buddies loaner trailer
so I ground out the blisters letting them drain, built a tarp house around
the rudder and ran a hair dryer around the clock (until hairdryer melted)
hoping to dry out as much as possible.  At the end of the week I
puttied/faired,  painted on a couple base coats, a couple coats of antifoul
and launched it.  

The rudder is also very stiff (wheel steering) and is in obvious need of a
service.

 

I am thinking the best plan would be to drop the rudder and open it up a bit
more to completely dry it and/or inspect?

Hope this isn't too dopey a question but can I drop the rudder while the
boat is in the water?  

 

Regards,

Subject: Stus-List C&C 29 mk2 rudder 

 

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a hair line crack in the leading edge of
the rudder on my 29-2 (1985 built in the US plant)

This weekend, I sanded back from the leading edge about 6 inches in
preparation for 2 layers of fiberglass cloth to be epoxied over the leading
edge.

When I sanded back along the sides of the rudder, I found 8 to 10 holes 3/8
inch diameter drilled through the port side and a couple of holes on the
starboard side.

The holes are randomly located different distances from the front edge and
over the full height of the rudder.

I drilled these old holes out and I am puzzled at what seems to be inside
the rudder.

The coring appears to be a mixture of deteriorated balsa (I don't think
balsa coring was ever put into a rudder by C&C), deteriorated / wet foam and
dry foam in good condition.

There also seem to be voids behind some of the holes about 2 to 3 inches in
diameter.

I believe that the rudder must have been repaired by the PO.

I would rather not do a total rebuild on the rudder this spring.

My thoughts are to go ahead with 2 layers of glass cloth (first layer 5
inches / second layer 10 inches wide) epoxied over the leading edge.

I was wondering about filling the rudder with a low viscosity epoxy. I would
fill the bottom 12 inches first through holes in the sides and then work my
way to the top of the rudder in 12 inch sections as the lower sections
cured.

Does this sound like a reasonable plan?

Has anyone done a similar repair? If so how long has it lasted?

Does anyone know how many tangs are located in the rudder and there
approximately location?

Stus-List Black Lid For Pump Out

[Ron Ander via CnC-List]

My cover for the pump out (black coloured) lid has gone a.w.o.l. I have been
having no success finding a replacement in Toronto. The fresh water and fuel
lids are the exact same size and threading. If I could find either one of
them I will just paint it black and use it.

 

It is a small item so purchasing it anywhere that can ship will be good.

 

Any ideas?

Stus-List Window Replacement

[Ron Ander via CnC-List]

I need to repair some leaking from the windows. It was suggested to me that 
removing the existing windows, cleaning up the surfaces, and reinstalling them 
can be a problem because the windows might break. 

 

Does re-caulking alone solve a leaking problem?

 

If I need new windows where can I purchase them in the Toronto area?

Stus-List Racing Crew Opportunity in Toronto

[Ron Ander via CnC-List]

I race a C&C 29 Mk 2 in the Spinnaker division on Tuesday and Thursday
nights at Etobicoke Yacht Club. I am looking for two experienced racing crew
to complete my team for either or both nights starting on Tuesday, May 12th
and racing for 22 consecutive weeks. I will conduct 4 training/practice
sessions starting on Tuesday, April 28th. There might be other skippers
seeking crew as well. I will forward any extra names to the racing crew bank
at our club.

 

If you know of any others who might be interested in racing in our
competitive fleets please respond. 

 

Thanks

Stus-List 29-2 information

[Ron Ander via CnC-List]

My C&C 29 Mk 2 (Hull # 507) was built in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. I
don't know how many were built.

I have a friend with a new-to-her 1983 C&C 29-2, hull number 208. The hull
number seems sort of odd since sailboatdata.com shows production from 1983
to 1986.

 

Can anyone confirm the dates of production and tell us how many were built?

 

Also, last week there was mention of a closed Facebook page/forum for 29-2
owners. How would she go about finding it and joining?

Stus-List Adjustable Prop

[Ron Ander via CnC-List]

I have a Vari Profile adjustable pitch feathering propeller. I am definitely in 
need of an adjustment in the forward position as I am only able to motor at 
about 5 knots on flat waters at about 2300 rpm. In one particularly strong blow 
I was unable to make any headway into the wind and waves. I had to bear off to 
gain some momentum and wiggle up to gain way. My  theoretical hull speed is 6.5 
knots. 

 

It would make sense to me to adjust the pitch to give me more speed and see how 
it performs this year. Is this the right approach or does anybody have better 
advice?

 

Thanks,

It is no more of a hassle to fly a symmetrical chute on a 29 than it is on
the J-24 (I have a 30-1 that I race every now and then and race on a J-24
each week). It is just bigger. You will probably need an additional person
(we use 5 on the 30 and 4 on the 24). An adjustable spin track on the mast
would be useful. The inner stay can be made to be easily disconnected.

If the boat doesn't have a pole, track, extra winches, then you could
consider one of those deck mounted extendable poles and fly an asymmetrical
chute.

It is interestingthe PHRF for a 29 is most likely higher numerically
than the J-24. Around here, the 24 is 171 and a 29 is around 180.

But, it is a lot more cruising friendly and powerful.
