Re: Stus-List When to reef C 33-2

I say,  if you're wondering if you should reef, you should reef before you head out.   It's a whole lot easier to shake a reef out if you don't need it than it is to put one in if you decide you need one while under way.  You can really never reef to early (if your not racing) but,  you can wait

Re: Stus-List When to reef C 33-2

As my old dad always used to say, "The time to reef is when you first think about it." The reasoning being that it's easier to shake the reef if the air lightens than it is to tuck one in if it gets breezier. Andy C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840

Re: Stus-List When to reef C 33-2

One season I started early and just left the main reefed even when I packed up at the end of a sail. We get stiff wind here in early May. Anyway with Alianna I now prefer full main and furled genoa 135 to 120 then to110 and mine works ok furled to 100% with no change of lead points. If that's

Dwight, you’re dreamin’. You are never gonna find 7 or 8 agile 200 pounders willing to sit on your rail. neither will I. For that reason, I have decided to not race Lovely Cruise any longer.___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list

Re: Stus-List Diesel Heaters and installation

I'm late to the party here, but our Espar (installed when the boat was new) draws 20A for a minute or so on startup. After I replaced all the wiring from the batteries to the heater, it used to start with the motor off, but a couple of years ago it started not firing up without the motor or

Re: Stus-List When to reef C 33-2

Dwight's content should not be missed. Crew weight is as important as apparent wind speed & angle and maybe even include time to destination or course change for deciding "when to reef". For me, a simple observation "is the toe-rail getting buried" is the tell-tale. If she can't be put

David, When I first raced Septima I was getting 7 seconds over the deep keel versions. I looked at the PHRFs a couple of years ago and found that I am now giving 3 seconds. A clean bottom makes all the difference. With a Martec folding prop Septima will fly up to windward so covering a

Re: Stus-List Post to list

Hi Al, As I mentioned above, our HIN has C090 = March of 1990, 1990 Model Year. The order for our boat, Hull 67, was placed in late December of 1989, order confirmed with deposit in January 1990, hoping for completion in April, 1990. It actually went out the factory door on May 15, 1990 with

Re: Stus-List When to reef C 33-2

“toe rail getting buried” might not be the best indicator. To bury the toe rail on my 38 takes over 33 degrees of heel. And the boat is at its best with 18 to 20. 25 degrees of heel still leaves the toe rail about a foot out of the water. Now my 25 is different. There is less free board

Re: Stus-List When to reef C 33-2

Hi Rick, Thanks for backing me up on this. It's a good thread and we got enough information to conclude there is no simple "time to reef" and there is a pile of good tricks to forestall tucking in a reef. Sometimes, the best time to reef is as you express with using angle of heel as the

Re: Stus-List Number Plate

So right on the tonnage. Net tonnage is the cargo carrying capacity of wine casks in the old days. The good old days, a couple o' hundred years ago. :) So, it means you can go cruising with 1800 gallons of wine and not much else. Nothing wrong with that eh. Gross tonnage includes machinery,
