Re: Stus-List 1988 C
Hello All! I’m new to this list and am really not sure how it works (or if I’ve set it up at all correctly) My name is Tom and I’m in shelter island N.Y. I’ve recently purchased an 1982 landfall 35 and am having the most horrific time with the rudder. The helm was pretty free when I first inspected the boat (I was able to easily swing the rudder by hand from the ground) However, during the time the boat was in the yard, whenever I came back to the steering it seemed stiffer but I was caught up in other goals and didn’t pay enough mind so did nothing. Now though, with the boat in the water it takes a tremendous amount of force to move the rudder at all. I’ve troubleshot and disconnected the Edson helm and after making a sling have attempted to drop the rudder to see if it’s bent but it won’t budge. I’m currently injecting penetrating oil where possible and manipulating the rudder with the emergency tiller. I’ve already spoken with the c and c guys in Canada whom, after hearing me out, thought it was an interesting problem. I too am interested and am looking for help.

Re: Stus-List 1988 C
Assailant's keel weight is listed in it's build file as 6,885 lbs so it was lightened about 500 lbs from the stock 7,250 lbs. at the factory, probably by using sand occlusions up high in the casting. Here is a drawing of what those occlusions look like and where they are in the keel: http://c-c-37-40.blogspot.com/p/inside-c_15.html Ken H.

Stus-List 1988 C
Sorry about the blank reply earlier!!! Noah, X 3 re a Mars bulb. The only thing I would caution you about is the 37R keel, from what I have read, some of the 37Rs had voids in the keel filled with sand and/or filler to reduce weight. I think I would sound your keel with a small hammer to make sure it is solid before you commit to a certain size (weight) bulb. Mars may have records of your boat if they supplied the original lead keel. Also consider the rudder depth, no point having your rudder deeper than your keel or you could find bottom rudder first!
