Stus-List NOWFUEL
This is one of the things I have been considering with my dinghy that I am going to add to my C 39. I really don't want gasoline on the boat. I thought about just having row and sail power for my dinghy, but the are times and places that having a motor would be desirable. There are some small diesel motors on ebay, for less than a few hundred dollars and I enjoy construction projects. So, I thought about making either a diesel outdoors out of on, or building a dinghy and making it have an inboard diesel motor. I've downloaded some plans for a small water taxi type boat with an inboard gasoline engine of about 3hp. I am looking at how to adapt the design to a stitch and glue build. I'm sure that I'll need to install davits to carry it as there really isn't open deck space on the 39 to carry it forward. Any one have experience in adding davits to the 39? ___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List NOWFUEL - dinghy fuel tank
I have a 6 gallon outboard tank bungee corded to the floor under the center seat. I discovered that if you don’t tie it down, a heavy rainstorm can fill the dinghy to the point the tank floats and gets capsized by the hose pulling on it. Makes a big mess when water gets in the vent and gas comes out ☹ I also have two of these tanks. Bad point is it is metal and good point is it is totally weather proof, water proof, does not leak, and does not get fumes in your car. http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-50-FS-Galvanized-Gasoline-Capacity/dp/B00GVJAXZQ/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8=1451509779=8-10=metal+fuel+tank I bought a 5 gallon after finding a brand new never had fuel in it 2.5 gallon version sitting by the dumpster and loving it.

Re: Stus-List NOWFUEL
James, I did not see any responses from other 39 owners to your question regarding adding davits to a C 39, hopefully one of the 39 owners with cruising experience will answer soon. My experience with the 39s is based on 4 years PNW racing and 2 Seattle/So Cal/Hawaii round trips back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. We did not add significant weight to the ends of the 39 to keep up light air performance. IIRC the 39 has relatively narrow ends with not a lot of extra buoyancy in the stern when compared to the 43 I now own. It seems that many other, mostly newer (think Hunter) designs that carry davits well have a “lot of junk in the trunk” e.g. a wide stern with a lot of buoyancy. If you will be sailing in calmer waters and not planning to venture offshore in rough weather the reduction in sailing performance might not be an issue. The narrow width of the 39s stern might limit your design issues. Contacting a few fabricators (Garhauer may be helpful) and asking if they have a davit design in stock for boats similar to a 39 you may be able to visualize what it would look like. In the October issue of the PNW sailing magazine 48 North (digital back issues available on the 48 North web site), on page 32, a C 39 owner has an article about cruising in the PNW. Based on a picture with the article the author’s 39 “Nordic Sun” based in Tacoma WA looked to be loaded with full cruising gear, but not davits. If you can contact him he might be able to quantify how the extra weight affected performance.
