Re: Stus-List Mast Holes...now mast wrap

2014-06-11 Thread Dave Godwin via CnC-List 
Agree on the effect of “warmth” in the main cabin. We had excess Ultra-suede 
from our new cushions project and the upholsterer took a length of it, added 
thin foam backing and velcro to close it around the mast. I mention the foam 
because a previous poster mentioned damping the sound of halyards. It didn’t 
really but it looks the bit.

As regards the holes in the mast, although I generally agree with Rob that it 
probably isn’t a structural issue I’d offer a differing opinion from an old 
friend who had a C&C dealership in the 70’s and then later went on to work for 
Forespar. He was never comfortable with all those holes. He kept urging me to 
heli-arc a formed plate over the area to stiffen it.

Best,

Nate,

Sorry, I meant warmth as in aesthetics...but I guess you could be right about 
temperature-warmth too.

Yup – sure can.  They are an ingenious way to ensure good ventilation below.  
The mast acts like a chimney especially on not days.  The holes suck out cabin 
air and it exits at the mast head.  Air gets in to the cabin through the main 
cabin hatch and engine vents.  Never had a problem with musty air below decks

Hi Dave,
I've looked at 3 C&Cs now, and each of them has a number (6 or 8) of 1/4" holes 
drilled in the mast section just below the mast boot in the cabin, port side 
only.  The first time I saw this, I was concerned about the strength of the 
section.  After seeing three, however, I believe there must be a good reason 
for the holes.  Is it a way to control humidity within the section?  Is there 
another reason?  Is it something I should be concerned about?


Thanks,
John

Stus-List Mast Holes...now mast wrap

2014-06-10 Thread David via CnC-List 
I love the idea but I have a mast wrap that the prior owner provided.  Its 
amazing how such a simple device can warm up the cabin.

I have other ventilation...so if you do too, I would heartily recommend a mast 
wrap.
