Agreed. Somewhere in the archives there is a Dallenbach chart which shows the relative 'stiffness' of most of the early C's. It would be pretty useful in this selection. And the 30-1 is by itself. Gary 30-1 #593 - Original Message - From: Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List To:

I thought most people in the PNW don't winterize. Doug, I'm curious why is it on your list? (especially with a heater going inside it seems unlikely anything would freeze) Our winter water temp is around 45F, and air temp rarely goes below 32F. -Patrick S/V Violet Hour LF 38, Seattle, WA On Mon,

Re: Stus-List Balsa core thickness

I’ll measure before I order the core. I have some wet spots in the area of port genoa track(aft section). Interestingly the other side is dry. I thought I would order the core ahead of time. But after haul out, I’ll wait to dig stuff out before ordering. I’m not very motivated to do this,

Re: Stus-List Winterizing -- Raw Water Intake

My solution is simpler. I found a tubing size at the hardware store that fit snugly into the outside opening of the raw water intake. I got about 15’ piece, fill it with antifreeze and plug one end into the intake and the other into a bucket of antifreeze on deck.I then start the engine

Some people retire from sailing, or buy a trawler prematurely, because they eschewed equipping their boat with whatever was needed to make it less physically demanding to sail. Luddites be damned! There are plenty of sailors who will tell you that a GPS and RADAR are wastes of money, too.
