Re: Stus-List 3D File

[William Hall via CnC-List]

Rob,

There are easier and faster ways to do this - but if you come up dry and
want to try to make a 3D model of YOUR boat, and you were able to take
pictures from numerous angles (while out of the water, perhaps - a drone
might be a good way to do this) I'd be happy to run it through a
photogrammetry stack for you.  The best results come from photos taken in
overcast conditions to minimize specular reflections, and even then aren't
perfect.  But it's still pretty amazing stuff.  I think I'll have to try it
with my boat this winter. Probably need about 100 pictures to get good
coverage.

When I was in a similar situation due to current, I found one of these very
helpful

It let me quickly get a spring line on without messing with boat hooks or

Re: Stus-List Anyone Have A Stack Pack?

[William Hall via CnC-List]

When I got my boat 5-6 years ago, it had a stack pack already.  I really
like it and have just taken it in to have the cover reworked. They
recommended switching to the cradle cover arrangement you have (mine is/was
the older version where the sail has the bolt rope and the cover is sewn to
the sail).
What works for me is:
1) I have the cover up all the way when dropping the sail
2) I have a hunk of rope about 6-8' long on the zipper.  When opened up and
sailing, the rope goes into a little velcro-closed bag on the boom so it
doesn't whack anybody.
3) With my nice old comfy bedsheets of a sail, it requires very little
stuffing.  Usually just a tad at the mast where the last couple cars
sometimes hang up or bunch on the sail.
4) Yes, I leave the cover on unless I am using the spinnaker pole
5) Drop the halyard as quickly as you can, making sure it's free to run.
Momentum really helps once most of the way down. If the halyard gets stuck
on something it takes a little more stuffing / pulling to get the sail down
the last 5-10 feet.

I hope you figure out something and can make it work with your stiff main!

Re: Stus-List Exterior Teak / sanding between coats

[William Hall via CnC-List]

This summer I discovered varnish in a spray can.  I decided to try it on my
grab rails. Two interesting differences from traditional varnish:

- Subsequent coats can be applied without sanding if done within an hour or
so.  You don't wait for it to dry completely.
- No brush marks

Has anyone else had experience with it? I thought it worked pretty well in
my test, and certainly liked the ability to get many coats done in a short
day. I look forward to seeing how it holds up over time.  It seems there
must be some downside to this!

Re: Stus-List Toe rail leak

[William Hall via CnC-List]

I used less than a bottle to go around my 37.
I think it depends on how much butyl sealant is left in there / how many
voids there are.  Where there's a gap, it'll keep flowing in. On my toe
rails, it went in only a little before pooling at the edge of the toe rail.

Re: Stus-List Water heaters

Hey, those look pretty good.
Good timing - I had just ordered a replacement raritan heater - the
original seems to have rusted out - but looks like the order didn't go
through. I think I'll get one of these instead. Thanks!

Re: Stus-List Singing Rigging

I had the exact same thing after taking down and putting the mast back up.
The previous owner said that the exact arrangement in which the shrouds
were attached made the difference. I'm not sure exactly what he meant, but
last year we took the rig down to transport via road, and evidently it was
put back up the right way now, no hum.

Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

[William Hall via CnC-List]

Interesting. I'd always learned that rowboats, canoes and the like had the
right of way over sail, motor, etc, at least when meeting in open water
free of obstructions.  That usually seems to make sense, as a sailboat with
a decent breeze can usually avoid the paddler easily.

Here's a reference supporting this general interpretation:
http://newboatbuilders.com/boating/navrules.html . I'd imagine opposing
viewpoints can come up with opposing references.

The example Jonathan brings up is a situation where the sailboat is
constrained and the paddler should try to give way.  Knowledgeable paddlers
know to stay out of the way of boats in the channel, just as we sailors
know to stay out of the way of freighters!  Actually, there's also
reference in Dennis' link to similar situations, both "vessels constrained
by their draft" and rule 9, narrow channels.

This topic of sail vs paddle reminds me of a number of incidents from my
days on the sailing team in college.  We raced dinghies on the Charles
River in Cambridge / Boston, which was also the home of quite a bit of
human powered traffic including rowing shells. Shells are very fast, but
very slow to turn, especially the eights that were often out practicing.
We were told to stay out of their way, but on occasion during a drifter
there wasn't much we could do, and the shells had to avoid us since we
couldn't avoid them.

In one of the first regattas where I had just started to figure out how to
do well, I managed to lead around the last leeward mark and thought I had
the race wrapped up, heading into the finish.  Approaching the finish, an
eight that had decided to row through our course realized (probably because
of all the yelling from other sailors) that they could have picked a better
place to go.  They decided to turn around, and in the process completely
blocked the finish line, overlapping both finish marks with their long hull
just as I arrived.  As the first one there, there was nothing to do but
wait and guess which end of the line was going to open up first.
Unfortunately I guessed wrong and lost quite a few places.   In hindsight
it seems pretty funny - they couldn't have timed or placed their turn worse
had they tried.

Re: Stus-List water missing from somewhere

[William Hall via CnC-List]

Do you folks suggest replacing the 30 year-old plumbing lines just because
of the life forms you suspect may be growing in there? Or some other reason?
When I got my boat, my freshwater system smelled like the best parts of a
swamp, and the filters were all plugged up with biological goop.  I went
through a number of treatments, bleach, all kinds of stuff.  It actually
seemed to work pretty well, everything smells and tastes fine now, although
I'm sure there are probably some nooks and crannies still harboring life.

Re: Stus-List Re; Boat names

[William Hall via CnC-List]

My previous boat was named Sweet Dream when I got her.  I didn't care for
the name but never changed it.  My crew wanted to name the dinghy Wet
Dream, and occasionally used that call sign on VHF 13.
My "new" boat, Starfire, was named by the original owner around 1985.  I
suspect it was named after a comic strip with a scantily clad heroine from
the time, but the owner who named it wouldn't admit that.

Stus-List Xantrex Pro-sine 2.0

[William Hall via CnC-List]

Hi List,

My boat came with this nicely installed Xantrex Pro-sine 2.0
inverter/charger.  The thing worked great but is now producing a "memory
error" message on the remote display, and won't invert or charge any more.
Xantrex no longer provides parts for it.

Does anyone out there have one that failed in a different way?  I'd be
interested in parts to see if I can get some combination working.  I don't
use it enough to merit putting in a new unit.

Thanks,
Bill Hall

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

My C&C 37 has the house batteries in about that same place.  Easy to get
to.  The only issue is that between batteries, inverter, radome etc, the
boat sits a little low in the stern, leading to growth on the gel coat just
above the bottom paint.  My solution was to move to freshwater!

Re: Stus-List Mast Rake on C&C 30

Seems to me that if the boat normally sails stern-low, it moves the center
of effort aft and has the same effect as raking the mast on a level boat...

Stus-List B&G parts

[William Hall via CnC-List]

I have a B&G Hydra 2000 system.  On Monday I had what will, sadly, probably
be my last sail since we've moved to Cincinnati.  As luck would have it, a
bird appears to have visited and broken the vane on the wind direction
sensor at the top of the mast is broken.  The electronics all seem to work,
but with only the heavy part of the vane (no fin) it now just points to the
low side of the boat.

Does anyone know whether these parts are available anywhere?

Thanks,
Bill

Re: Stus-List Up-sizing boats

[William Hall via CnC-List]

I have a 1985 c&c 37 I bought 2 years ago and was planning to keep forever,
but we just accepted job offers in Cincinnati and are moving inland.  I've
really enjoyed sailing her, and my 3 year-old loves nothing more than to go
sleep on the boat.  I haven't listed it yet or taken pictures or anything,
still in denial. Almost tempted to store it somewhere but I should probably
sell it, who knows whether we'll ever be back to the water.

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole - 32

[William Hall]

I agree, if that pole is usable, get it!

Here in Long Island Sound, the whisker pole PHRF reg is no longer than LP.
So if your jib is a 150%, LP is 1.5*J, quite a bit longer than J.  Having
that extra length beyond J makes a big difference.

Spinnaker pole length on the other hand is usually J.

Cheers,
Bill

Re: Stus-List Inverters

[William Hall]

The PO located my inverter on a shelf at the forward end of the lazarette.
It doubles as a battery charger. It has a power switch on the back that you
can reach through the lazarette, but mostly I leave it on and control it
through the remote control which is mounted near the breaker panel. I think
it's 2kw, big enough for your wife's hair dryer.  It runs my automatic
espresso machine just fine.  I can look up make and model if you'd like.

Re: Stus-List Vibration

[William Hall]

Low RPM, pretty much no deflection.
Reverse, very little deflection.
Forward, high rpm, that deflection is definitely a node, max deflection
about half way between the engine and the shaft seal / stern tube, behind
the coupling. As I replied to another post, it looks very impressive but
could well be less than 1".  Perhaps 1/2" on either side, so the 1" shaft
winds up looking like it's 2" diameter instead of 1".

Re: Stus-List Vibration

[William Hall]

Yes, the prop looks great and feathers and unfeathers very smoothly and
easily by hand.
One thought that occurred to me is that the max prop might have been
assembled incorrectly, with one blade set to higher pitch than the other.
In the assembly process one has to match the gear on each blade to the
correct tooth on the gear in the hub.  But one would hope that they'd have
gotten that right when they re-assembled after the prop was rebuilt.
 Anyway I plan to check blade pitch among other things.

Re: Stus-List Vibration

[William Hall]

I agree, it is scary.  I may be double-counting the deflection - I'm just
eyeballing it and looking at the apparent diameter which starts as a 1"
shaft or so and shakes enough to look like a 2" shaft when in action.

Thanks for the ideas.

Stus-List Vibration

[William Hall]

Dear List,

I've been troubleshooting quite a vibration problem since I got my boat a
year and a half ago. I had hoped it all just needed an alignment, but that
does not appear to be the case. I'm hoping that if I present the situation
someone on the list may be able to point me in the direction of a fix!

The boat is Starfire, my 1985 C&C 37. It has a Yanmar 3HMF. I believe it's
the original engine, but was overhauled a few years ago. The previous owner
said it was overhauled because it was no longer producing enough power.

The engine drives a 2-blade max prop.  There's a line cutter on the shaft.
There's an R&D marine elastomeric coupling between the end of the prop
shaft and the engine drive shaft.

When I bought the boat, we noted a lot of vibration when in gear above
about 1800 rpm. The surveyor thought it needed alignment and noted as well
that the max prop had more play in it than it was supposed to.  I hauled it
that first winter, had the max prop sent back to max prop for overhaul, had
new cutlass bearing installed, and when it all came back together in the
spring found the same vibration as before.  When running in forward, the
prop shaft deflects significantly at higher RPM's (maybe 1" of wobble at
the worst point along the drive shaft), and things shake in a way that
can't be good.  In neutral, as well as reverse, it runs smooth as silk
right up into high rpms.

I've since had a few engine / drive people look at it and try to figure it
out. The shaft appears to be true. The alignment appears to be right on, as
measured by two different mechanics. The elastomeric coupling was a bit
worn, so we put a new one in. The engine mounts are substantial and seem
good.  The engine people think there's something wrong with the prop that
the overhaul didn't fix.

What does the list say? Is it the prop? Could there be something wrong in
the transmission, say a thrust bearing or something?  In flat calm I can
get almost 5 knots without too much worry of breaking things, but into a
sea or wind I'd really like to have the option to use more power.  What
would you try?

Thanks in advance for the thoughts.

Regards,
Bill

Re: Stus-List C&C smile - wet keel bolts

[William Hall]

The water you can see in the keel sump is not oxygen deprived. It's in
contact with the atmosphere and absorbs oxygen. My understanding is that if
water is trapped inside, say, the rudder or somewhere in contact with the
keel bolts, where no air can get to it, then that can cause the stainless
to corrode.

Re: Stus-List where to secure spring lines

[William Hall]

My boat, acquired last fall, has these from the previous owner.  I use them
all the time now and am pretty happy.
The only issue with them is they're attached at a single point to the toe
rail, so they can pivot back and forth a little around that point.  With
heavy long term use they might wear through the rubber pad they mount over
and score the toe rail.  But they work great for me and when folded down
don't seem to catch anything, and I imagine if you monitor the situation
you'll be fine.

Re: Stus-List toe rail leak

[William Hall]

Interesting.
I think it does depend on what's left in there.
I have a Seidelmann 299 (nice fast boat for sale cheap now since buying our
C&C 37 last fall) with similar construction. I tightened all the bolts
along the toe rails and no more leakage.  I would try tightening them.
You'll probably need someone to help keep some of the bolts from turning on
deck while you tighten from below, or you can get clever and wedge vise
grips on a screwdriver bit against the toe rail.

Propeller is not flexible.  That's an artifact of the swept shutter used by
many cameras.

Re: Stus-List Keel stub cracks

[William Hall]

Ouch.  Brings back bad memories.  I re-cored the deck of an E-22 once. Not
fun.
Did the surveyor go over the hull with a moisture meter as part of the
survey?  How long was that before you had to tear into it like this?

Re: Stus-List C&C 37 advice

[William Hall]

We just bought a 1985 C&C 37 this summer.  It is truly a delight to sail.
 It handles a big blow and swells well, but it still can ghost along nicely
in light air.  Very well balanced helm.
The location you describe is where our lpg tank goes.  Top flips open and
tank, solenoid etc are in there.  What year is the boat?

Re: Stus-List Barrier Coats

[William Hall]

It's supposed to prevent delamination and blistering that may result
from osmosis (water gets into the fiberglass and the polyester
gradually comes apart over years).
It seems we have many reporters here who have applied barrier coat and
have not suffered blistering after many years (thanks for the
reports!)
How about the converse?
Has anyone left their boat in the water for a long time and still have
a great bottom?

Has anyone out there done one a while ago (~10 years ago maybe) and

How do you jibe this setup? Do you have to attach a guy during the
jibe?  That sounds tricky!

My boat is new to me and came with an asymmetric chute that doesn't
measure well for PHRF - it's pretty small, yet I'm penalized for it on
the rating.  Any former racers out there have a functional symmetric

Stus-List c&c smile and insurance

[William Hall]

Hi List,
I just bought a C&C 37.
Everything I read tells me the C&C smile is just how it goes, and I've
seen the cosmetic repair section here.  Keel bolts look beautiful.
The inspector told me verbally that it's perfectly fine.
But in his written survey, he added this CYA material:
"I believe the keel to stub crack is fairing compound coming loose and
the normal separation due to expansion"
with recommendations:
"further investigate and repair as necessary"

The insurance guy wanted the survey and has said coverage is
contingent on " further testing (ultrasonic) to determine whether or
not that crack is compromising the structural stability of the vessel.
"

Has anyone any idea how ultrasonic testing could relate at all to this?
Can anyone point me to material that might convince the insurance guy
that there are less expensive means that will tell us more?

Or maybe someone can just point me to a better boat insurance agent?

Many thanks!
Bill
