Stus-List Re: Engine not turning over

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

I spent three weeks working on the same sort of problem with my 2gm20f. I
replaced almost all the wiring from the alternator to the panel, from the
key to the push button, from the push button to the solenoid, etc...

Nothing I had done so far worked (although through testing/metering
everything I did fix a few other intermittent problems). I pulled the
starter (two mounting bolts, and three contacts on the alternator) and took
it apart. The ground brush was worn down to the point that you could see
light between it and the commutator. For $60, 10 hours later a local
ignition shop installed new brushes, a new solenoid, and cleaned everything
up for me.

While I'm glad I spent the time tracing the wiring and learning how the
system works, I kind of wish I had pulled the starter straight away to
bench test it.

Re: Stus-List Battery Charging

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

I use that same panel hanging off of the stern rail, connected to a Victron
75/15 MPPT controller with the Bluetooth dongle, and a Blue Sea System ACR
to keep two group 24 AGM batteries topped up all summer.

It has worked great for the last three seasons.  I've never had any issues
(except for my first season, when I didn't take the batteries home until
December and had to replace one of them). As a bonus I get to pretend I
understand all the graphs displayed in the Victron app, and all the data I
log from the controller:

Re: Stus-List Block Island's Great Salt Pond - Town Mooring or Dock Reservation?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Thanks all, I have a dock reservation pending! Champlin's has a two night
minimum so I'm trying my luck at the New Harbor Boat Basin first. If
neither of those work out, I'll try my luck at Fishers Island or somewhere
else up the CT coast.

I had not considered Cuttyhunk Island as a possibility, and will definitely
add it to the itinerary of a future cruise. Sounds much more my speed
versus Block. Thanks for the recommendation, Damian!

All best,

Tom,

I second Edd's comments. Go for a slip. Choice is limited - many of the
slips are too shallow.

When we lived in Connecticut, Block was the most fun part of our summer
cruise. Rather than deal with the uncertainty of finding a mooring, we
would book a "slip" at Champlin's. I use the term slip advisedly, because
Champlin's pile the boats in, and you will inevitably find yourself rafted
3 deep. However, that is all part of the fun. The place is a summer-long
party (80% power boaters), with a bar by the fuel dock, music, pizza,
ice-cream, cinema, pool. Really a lot of fun - and that is before you even
leave the marina.

If you have an extra couple of days, Cuttyhunk is about 35 miles further.
The "anti-Block". Well worth the visit.

Stus-List Block Island's Great Salt Pond - Town Mooring or Dock Reservation?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi Listers,

My crew is demanding that I give them a break from racing so we are
planning for our first cruise, heading up Long Island Sound to Newport and
Block Island, next month. I've arranged dock space at the navy base in
Newport, but I'm still working out the details for the stop at Block Island.

We'd be arriving on a Sunday afternoon and staying overnight. Does anyone
know what the town mooring situation in the Great Salt Pond is like? Would
it be better to forget about the moorings and make a reservation now at one
of the marinas instead?

My worry is that all the town moorings will be occupied, the docks'll be
full, and we'll have to set an anchor for the night. My anchor tackle is
geared towards racing rather than cruising (150 ft of nylon rode with a
short section of rubberized chain and a Fortress) so I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks for any advice or thoughts you may have!

Best,
Tom

Stus-List Was Offshore boat, now Good Sailing Books

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi Al,

I too have enjoyed Kretschmer's books. On his recommendation, and to
your point about sailing in Puget Sound, have you read PASSAGE TO
JUNEAU by Jonathan Raban? Simply sublime. READY ABOUT by G. Peabody
Gardner was another great read focusing on Maine and Nova Scotia.

Anyone else have any must-read sailing book suggestions?

Thanks,
Tom

Subject: Stus-List Offshore boat



A very interesting thread with some excellent comments and insight.

I enjoy reading offshore cruising books by such people as John
Kretschmer which stir my imagination, so the thought of taking my C&C
35 Mk 3 offshore is in the back of my mind. A cruise down the coast to
San Francisco, San Diego and eventually to south america and/or to
Hawaii would be fabulous but in reality its not likely to happen.

Preparing the boat and learning all the necessary skills would be a
tall order. In the meantime I would be missing out on cruising one of
the most beautiful cruising areas in the world.
>From Puget Sound to the BC Caost, west coast of Vancouver island and Alaska I 
>think I will have enough to keep me busy and interested for decades.

I like what Josh had to say, "I say buy the boat that fits where you
are sailing now.  Not where you think you will be sailing in the
future."
Very well said Josh.

I agree with that sentiment. For me and my needs a C&C 35 is ideal.
Its a fine sailing boat, she carries 80 US gallons of water and with a
few jerry jugs I can easily carry 40 gallons of fuel.
She is outfitted with solar panels, Espar heater, sound sytem and
other creature comforts to extend the sailing season and be
comfortable at anchor. At 35 feet I am more likely to find a slip in
a marina during peak season than a larger vessel and the costs of
running a 35 foot boat are considerably less than a larger boat. The
C&C 35 works for me.

On a related side note there is a 76 year young British woman named
Jeanne Socrates currently on her 2nd solo, non-stop circumnavigation.
She completed her 1st at the age of 70 and holds the record as the
oldest female to have done so. She hails from Victoria, BC and is
expected to complete her journey in early July. She maintains an
excellent blog and does interviews while at sea. She is currently
south of Australia and 18,000 NM into her trip. If interested her

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

Hi Matthew,

I love the idea of having a more structurally sound bedding material
for the backing plates. This is probably a stupid question - would the
microballoon mixture be a replacement for the 4200? Or is there a way
to bed the plates with the microballoon mixture, get the them back up
again without ruining the new surface, and bed again with a layer of
4200?

Thanks,

Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi  listers,

First of- thanks for all of your suggestions for rebuilding my navtec
backstay adjuster. It was serviced by a shop in Oyster Bay, NY and the
local rigger (Jeff Lazar, whom I can't recommend enough) handled the
removal and reinstall. So, onto the next project!

I've been buying tools as I need them for projects, and this spring I'm
going to make sure my keep is securely attached to the boat.

Obviously I'll need a torque wrench, a socket, and an extension for the
forward bolt at the mast. Does anyone know offhand what size bolt is in the
35-1? Otherwise I'll add calipers to the list of tools.

The nuts and bolts are rust free, and the PO replaced the iron washers with
stainless backing plates. I can see they were bedded with a some caulking.
I am going to remove the nuts, one by one, clean and rebed the backing
plates with 4200, and bring the bolts to somewhere below the final torque
setting for a few days before the finishing the torquing to 100%.

Once that is done and it warms up, I am going to address the leading edge
of the keel with gflex, fair it, and paint the bottom.

Am I missing anything obvious in the bolt torquing procedure?

Thanks,
Tom

Stus-List Soft shackles in action

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Sorry John, it never occurred to me to take good photos of the soft
shackles in action. I have a photo that shows them on a delivery jib in
May, but none with the racing sails.

I ended up using the same two shackles for all of my headsails across the
wind range - had no problems with them in 20+ kts on a #3 or <5 kts on the
light #1.

So with the soft Shackle ( which I use for tying off to the mid toerail
 and works amazing even in Florence! ) what size line ? (Dyneema?) Is best
for the  head sail on  a 37,  and are you using a splice on the sheet? If
tying a knot for soft shackle why Knot just tie sheet to clew  ? Any one
have any pics of the softees in action on the genny  sheets?

Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi Edd,

I used a single set of homemade soft shackles all season long. I bought a
set of fids and a 100ft spool of 4mm UHMWPE cord on Amazon, and spent the
winter making dozens of them. I tried two different styles and ended up
like the one at the following link the best http://l-36.com/soft_shackle_howto.php> I'll bring a handful to the EBYRA
brunch so you can check them out.

As everyone is saying, they haven't hung on the shrouds at all and have
been a huge improvement in simplicity.

Best,
Tom

Stus-List Navtec Backstay (IA-10) - Rebuild or Replacement?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi Listers,

My backstay adjuster is losing all tension if I leave it set below ~1,000
lbs for a few days. It holds fine when I'm onboard and sailing, it seems to
happen overnight, when the boat is on the mooring. The adjuster is an old
Navtec IA-10 unit. There is no noticeable fluid leaking from either end of
the adjuster and the piston is in good shape with no nicks or scratches.

Can anyone suggest a rigger/hydraulic repair shop in the NYC area that
could handle rebuilding it? Or is the unit so old that I should consider
replacing it with a new hydraulic adjuster or some sort of cascading block
contraption?

The boat is primarily raced around the buoys, so being able to reproduce
settings quickly and accurately is the most important feature for me.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Stus-List years a C&C owner

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

I bought Snow Goose, a 1973 35-1, two years ago. When I was in college a
decade ago I used to crew on a CS 36T in the weeknight beercan series. Snow
Goose was in our division, but you'd never guess we were on the same race
course. I got to know the sillouhette of her shrinking transom very well...

I'm the third owner but the precious owner, who was a local racing legend
and operator of a boatyard, kept the boat in great shape. I'm planning on
keeping the boat for a long time.

I lost one of the three hinge pins from the hatch over the v-berth. Does

Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Thanks, everyone, for your input! I might go slightly bigger on the jib
sheets, but worry that a thicker line wouldn't work well with my mainsheet
winch. Anything will feel nicer to handle than the current sheets.

Dennis - I was only going to splice an eye at one end and whip the other
but you make a great case for having eyes at both ends and being able to
flip ends.

Like Dennis' setup, I am planning on using two soft shackles  to reeve the
sheets to my headsail. The Stingy Sailor post inspired me to buy  a set of
fids and a whole spool of 5/32" UHMWPE a few weeks ago. As a result I ended
up with a pile of 30 soft shackles (
https://photos.app.goo.gl/0N7BRteov5LhP0JE3). We'll see how well they hold
up over the season.

Thanks again,
Tom

Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi listers,

I'm planning on buying new sheets during the Defender Sale. We're a novice
club-racing boat most of the time, but also do short trips around western
long island sound.

I've got old polyester core/cover sheets now, and will continue using them
with my cruising headsails, but I'm thinking of getting Samson XLS Extra-T
in the same diameter as i have now (3/8") to replace the mainsheet, and for
my racing headsails. Is there any other type of line I should consider
before pulling the trigger?

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Stus-List Northstar Explorer S310 Paddlewheel Axle

Thanks for your suggestions. I was able to source steel rod from Amazon,

If worse comes to worse, try your local hobby shop.  They usually stock

Re: Stus-List C&C 35 MK I engine survey (Della Barba, Joe)

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi Joe,

Snow Goose was repowered with a 2GM20F. From what I can tell, it fit on the
standard engine bed, but the engine cover and the structure on the
starboard side were modified slightly to make room for the secondary fuel
filter. The boat has a two blade folding prop, but I'm unsure of the
brand/pitch/important details. The boat does have the original strut.

Here is a link to a photo of the prop and strut, and another of the engine:

*https://goo.gl/photos/wNJ3CQjH4jpaGowN8

I can get better photos of the engine bay and the cutout in the engine
cover if its helpful later in the week.

Actually, your question is something I would like to hear the list's

the thruhull, but I have no idea if that is best practice or not. Should I
be drilling the hole the same size as the thruhull, or should it be a
little larger?

Thank you both, your suggestions are very helpful. The BlueSea ACR will do

Subject: Re: Stus-List Basic Solar Charging System?
On our 27 MKIII we mounted a semi flexible pane that could be walked on to
the sliding hatch and tied in a small charge controller and battery
combiner.  We kept 2 series 24s and a series 27 charged on a mooring in
Chicago for 10 years this way.  It kept the panel out of the way and we
just tied the boom off to one side when we left the boat.

Kindest Regards,

Tom,

Sounds like a good system. The only different thing I have in my setup is a
Blue Seas ACR instead of the Echo charger. See:

Works VERY well.

Another factor is the placement of the solar panel. A shadow from a boom
will give you a significant drop in volts.

Smith sailing to Snow Goose! Rest in Peace Artie Karpf.

All the best,

Edd

Stus-List Basic Solar Charging System?

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hi Listers,

Snow Goose spent the last 20 years docked in a slip with shore power, and
I'm moving her to a mooring. I plan on adding a solar system to recharge my
batteries during the week.

The boat will primarily be raced/daysailed, and occasionally overnighted,
on the weekends. My power draws are an automatic bilge pump, sailing
instruments, a chart plotter, and the freshwater tank pressure pump. I have
two 79AH Group 24 AGM batteries onboard, one in each bank, wired to a 4 way
selector switch.

My plan is to install a 50W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel connected to a
BlueSolar MPPT 75/15 controller, and connect them to the house battery. I
am planning on installing a Xantrex Echo Charger between the house battery
and the starter battery.

Does this system make sense? I've read mixed reviews about the Echo
Charger, but I can't find a better way of charging two batteries from a
single panel/MPPT controller. Is there a different setup that makes more
sense?

Thanks and best,
Tom

Re: Stus-List New (old) C&C 35 Mk I - Water Ingress

Randy, Neil, Bill,

Thank you all for the advice. I've marked the hull with a washable marker
and will check for water next weekend. The mast is in, and it hadn't
crossed my mind that the water was coming through it. I'll add replacing
the mast boot and installing a garboard drain to my list of projects.

Thanks again,
Tom

Stus-List New (old) C&C 35 Mk I - Water Ingress

[Thomas Delaney via CnC-List]

Hello listers,

In December I finalized the purchase of my first keelboat, a C&C 35 Mk I,
after receiving an extremely thorough and detailed list of items to survey
from Joe Della Barba. Joe, thanks again for your help!

The previous owner of the boat was a local racing legend who ran a marina
near Glen Island, NY. He had been giving me advice on readying the boat for
her new life on a mooring after spending the last four decades in a slip
adjacent to his houseboat. Unfortunately, he passed away last weekend.

One of the questions I had yet to broach was the accumulation of water in
the bilge. The boat has been on the hard, shrinkwrapped, for three years.
I've been pumping the bilge dry every two-four weeks, and it seems to be
about 2-4 gallons of water as measured by a big plastic bucket. I'm not
sure where the water is coming from. Apart from the bilge, water is pooling
in the forward-most storage compartment under the port settee. My first
instinct is to have a friend on deck hold the screws on the toerails and
stanchion bases while I slightly tighten the nuts below deck and see if the
water ingress stops. Does that make sense? Is there a different, better
course of action I should take at this time? Does anyone know offhand what
size socket I'll need?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
