Richard: My wet exhaust muffler is original SS (1984). Currently it is not leaking either water or gases but the weld joints on the muffler are corroded. The SS muffler might last for years, however, every off season, I replace something on the boat that I feel will 'prevent' a problem down

That's way better than any other prices I have seen. Is the area price protection not being enforced any more? Do they really ship to Canada? Inquiring minds want to know. On 16 November 2012 14:57, Rich Knowles wrote: > That's better than I can do. > > Rich Knowles > Indigo. LF38 > Halifax > >

Paul: Thank you for this info on Yanmar exhaust parts. Even with the 'international' shipping cost of over $100 for this part, it is still less expensive than the supplier (Liftow) here. Rich, I am still interested in your supplier and price of the parts as well. Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 8

Anyone got any tips on patching awl grip. I have a number of deep scratches and the bottom edge of the transom to repair. The awl grip was put on by a PO so I don't even know what its original color was. I see from the Awkgrip website that they offer patch-up quantities of a very limited range i

I have done some repairs on my Awlgripped hull with International Perfection 2 part polyurethane, applied with an artist's brush. I was able to find a reasonably close color match off the shelf and I applied some with the brush, let it cure, then sanded lightly and reapplied to build up thickness.

One of the important factors for me in choosing to own a C&C 35 MKII was something called "motion comfort factor" in the sailing calculator predictions. I knew that I would be mostly doing cruising versus racing with the boat but nevertheless I wanted a boat that had a reasonably high predicted spe

Stus-List missing sail track?

2012-11-17 Thread Eric Frank
When I was having measurements taken for a new mainsail, the sailmaker commented that the sail track on my 1972 CC 35 mk2 begins nearly a foot above the boom. The sail track is obviously cast into the aluminum mast, but has been machined away so it begins well above the boom. I had always assum

Easy solution. Have the sailmaker stitch a couple of stainless steel rings either end of a strop of webbing that goes through the reef cringle. Put one of the rings over the horn when reefing -- Jonathan Indigo - 35-III On Nov 17, 2012, at 17:51, Eric Frank wrote: > When I was having measure

Either that or have him put the slugs on a tack line.  My cruising main has that.  The slugs stop 8-10 inches above the boom but the tack line allows enough slack for the cringle to pull down to the gooseneck. Dennis C. > > From: Indigo >To: "cnc-list@cnc-lis

Eric: The track on my boat is similar to yours. When I reef, I remove the pin that keeps the slugs from dropping off the track, slack the halyard allowing the slugs to drop out of the track, attach the reefing cringle to the "horns" at the forward end of the boom, and tighten the main halyard

Eric, I installed a Tides Marine strong track on my C&C 34 a few years ago and love it. I do a lot of singlehanding and this track makes raising and lowering the main by myself a snap. It cost me about $1000 but was worth it. Chris T. C&C 34 Quasar - Original Message - From: Alan B

Eric, The track starts so high because the boat originally came with roller reefing. The luff of the main sail at the tack is cut back so that as the main sail is rolled about the boom, the bolt rope would roll in contiguous turns rather than pile up on itself. This also requires the bolt ro
