Re: Stus-List Howling rigging

Had a similar hum while coming back from Newport. The engineer on board put a clothes pin on the shroud to change the harmonics. Worked for several hours. Joel On Saturday, August 1, 2015, Russ & Melody via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Don't listen to him, Jim. I can tell he's

Re: Stus-List Howling rigging

Don't listen to him, Jim. I can tell he's just making things up. The name was Peat and we don't have pints of rum... maybe a litre or two. And to settle the ghost, try hoisting a fender alongside the mast about half way up. You will be amazed how it can settle the rig if you have oscillat

In your part of the world I would be wondering if Cascadia was getting warmed up when things start to shake and vibrate. Of course a sailboat might not be the worst place to be during the next mega-thrust tsunami. Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII Port Stanley, ON - Original Message - From:

Re: Stus-List Howling rigging

I have experienced the same hum, rattle, and shake on 3 different C&C's over many years of PNW sailing both t anchor and tied to pier. It is my best guess that a cross wind of just the right angle and strength will create the harmonics needed to rattle and shake the rig. I have tried many di

Re: Stus-List Howling rigging

Look up Tacoma Narrows bridge. It's not the wind speed but a frequency oscillation of the wind that might excite the natural frequency of the rig. Neil Schiller 1970 Redwing 35, Hull #7 (C&C 35, Mark I) "Corsair" Retired Mechanical Engineer On 7/31/2015 10:26 PM, Jim Watts via CnC-List wrote:

On our latest trip north, we anchored in Clam Bay and had a strange problem. At a certain wind speed, the shrouds would start to hum, sometimes making the boat shake with vibration. The major vibration was felt in the small rod running to the underside of the upper spreaders and in the mast and bac

Of the Raymarine wheel pilots with which I’ve had experience, I think the Autohelm/Raymarine 3000 was the most reliable and easiest to operate. Wish I could still get one for my 38….. or maybe a Navico WP30…. Or a backup for my current Navico 5000. The belt from the wheel to the drive unit i

Re: Stus-List landfall 38 for $4k?

I looked at the boat on eBay yesterday. I have suspicions that the offer is not serious or that the owner did not do their due diligence regarding advertising it on eBay. The boat is not advertised in the proper category, Motors -> Boats -> Sailboats. Instead, it is advertised in Collectibles -

Josh We run a much longer and smaller diameter line than that which came in our 4:1 purchase on our check stays. We ease it out and the boom can extend as far as we wish downwind without running the check stays forward. When we harden up or gybe we just haul the line back in. Seems to work w

Chuck, You mentioned a winch, which made me start questioning my setup. The wire from the mast terminates about 2-3 ft above the deck at a 4:1 fiddle block system with cam-cleat. The snap shackle on the lower fiddle block allows attachment to the toe rail in various locations. If I attach the

I took a good look at my furler, mast, shrouds and stays yesterday preparatory to trying to do some mast tuning. I am unsure as to the best way of going about this process and could use some advice. I found that I was raked somewhere between 18 and 24 inches aft, which is much too far by all a

Josh, You may have fun with this? When you tighten the backstay to tighten the headstay, you should see the mast bend and the middle of the mast will move forward flattening the main. In light and moderate winds, we use the runners to pull the middle of the mast straight and the main bellys out

I don't race my 37+ so take this with a grain of salt but my check stays just seem to just get in the way. I still set them but they don't really seem to do much. I've watched for pumping but it never seems to be a problem. Weird thing is I kinda like having them. Sorta like my pinky toes, I do
