Re: Stus-List first sail, first race of the year
It was up to 85 by end of day yesterday. Should top out at around 100+. See you out there, I'll be on a J-80 named Evil Woman. Raft up at MRYC and enjoy the party. The fleet of spinnakers going across Eastern Bay will dwarf that 20.

Boat got off the dock today. After a bunch of engine work, new hoses and new fuel tank (all installed by mechanic) everything is supposed to be working smoothly. Well. Getting off the dock was not so smooth. Couldn't sort out why roller furler was jamming for a bit. Finally sorted the issue, started the engine, made sure all looked good (exhaust a little louder than I expected, but not bad). Off we went (had a friend along to assist moving the boat from the marina to a nearby cove where it can stay an extra week). 10 min out I see some smoke riding through the companion way. Throttle down. Full off engine cowling. Coolant everywhere! Must have a leak. We turn around to limp back to the dock. I'm looking at the mess with the coolant boiling over when I realize (OK remember mechanic warned me) the seacock for the engine is CLOSED!!! Opened the seacock. Everything cooled off. We had burned off much of our coolant - so I poured in a 1/2 litre water bottle. Kept the engine at low rpm and made the run to the cove. Little hitch at the end. Went to furl the jib but too much sail and not enough line on the furling drum. Only managed to pack away
Re: Stus-List First sail
Either leave the engine seacock open, or hang the ignition key off the seacock handle. Me, I'm useless and we have a Yanmar, so I can start the engine with pretty much anything I have in my pocket including lint. I leave the seacock open. I know this makes me a bad person and I can live with that. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift CC 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 25 May 2014 20:13, M Bod via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: OK.

Went to furl the jib but too much sail and not enough line on the furling drum. Only managed to pack away 2/3 of the sail. Solved that by doing 10 clockwise circles in the bay to wrap the sail around the forestay! Dirty, but it worked. All told we survived. Feel like a royal idiot for forgetting the seacock. Had pretty good water shooting out of the muffler after - but I figure I better pull the impellor and check/replace it anyway. I had checked the exhaust when we started - saw splashes. But later realized I was looking at the air exhaust hitting the water and causing a little splash. Still a little shell shocked from the experience but thinking I'll likely remember the seacock in the future!

Re: Stus-List First sail
I was *so* tempted. I got the engine running, bilge scrubbed, dinghy bottom painted, and redid the fuel lines to run my 2 pumps in parallel instead of series. If I went out then I'd be doing all that on a cold rainy day. Glad someone got out. Engine started right up too :) Joe Della Barba Coquina CC 35 MK I -Original Message- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2013 2:27 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List First sail It's 57 and sunny in Annapolis some projects will have to wait.

My new clutches and rope organizer forgave me for having to sit on the shelf another week. Wind was around 5 knots. There were a few other boats, both sail and power, out around Annapolis, and I did see a crab pot. My clean main, now with CC35 logo, looks great!

Re: Stus-List First sail
Yup! My mechanic uses dish soap to lube the intake hose, so I create a small bubble bath behind the boat on the first start.
