Re: Stus-List Defender sale

Chuck, In my experience U.S.P.S. works best overall for shipments to Canada. The upfront shipping cost is often higher than for other carriers, but there is less added cost over and above the sales taxes, and for lower value items, there is usually no added cost or sales tax at all. Some

Re: Stus-List US to Canada shipping

US shipping to Canada argh expensive learning ... USPS coming to Canada Post is my only acceptable shipper. Divide the shipping items into smaller value packages can sometimes result in coming through with no brokerage or sales taxes. No duty has ever been due. Canada Post brokerage is

Re: Stus-List Defender sale

Chuck, The best, for sure, is the Canada Post. They have a system, where if you (as a US shipper) sign up with them, they charge a flat $5 fee for any cross border handling of an item. But for that you have to be big enough that it is worth the effort to set it up. The next best is USPS. It

Re: Stus-List Possible offer on a 86' C MKIII - with photos/video

Chris, The exposed core around the mast could be an issue, but it depends on how far it goes. On my boat the core around the mast is plywood and has several inches of play. That’s where mast wedges are normally placed. You may be able to cut back the core to solid wood. I used epoxy to

Re: Stus-List Defender sale

This is an ongoing issue with UPS (if you cross-border shop). They always charged an exorbitant fee for "brokerage fees". If you can try shipping to a UPS store at the border (if it is feasible at the location you are at, but for Port Stanley, you can make a trip, probably) or you can try

Re: Stus-List Defender sale

Steve, As the US rep for a Canadian company, can you tell me what other currier service works better than others for shipments from the states? It seems that UPS has limits to their geographic distribution and often transfers goods to secondary carriers like Purolator for local deliveries.

Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing

Erik, I’ve done the cutless bearing on my boat twice. I’ve removed the rudder both times. It’s not that hard and it went quicker the second time around. As others have said, removing the shaft from the coupling is usually the hardest part. I had a friend that build a jig to push the

Re: Stus-List Possible offer on a 86' C MKIII - with photos/video

OK, so the windows likely have to be replaced or re-bedded. And the tarp over the foredeck makes me expect that hatch leaks. Otherwise it doesn't look too bad. The area around the mast is confusing, there should be a glass / gelcoat surface there. I do find it odd when people are selling

Re: Stus-List Possible offer on a 86' C MKIII - with photos/video

The biggest problem spot on the 35-3 is the mast step. If that is healthy, everything else is gravy. (I jest). I took a small tapping hammer with me when I went to look at our boat and did some basic sounding down in the bilge. It's not that hard to do a lot of the things that need doing, it just

One note of caution for my fellow Canadians. I ordered a few things from Defender that were on sale last year, totalling less than $200 U.S., and they insisted on sending it via U.P.S. I paid the shipping in advance, along with the rest of the order. When the U.P.S. driver showed up on my

Make no mistake this boat is going to be a project. There are some areas that look lovingly restored. Others, well, not so much. I suspect everything, repeat everything leaks. Whenever I see a tarp over a cabin I get nervous. If the deck is sound it’s just a lot of removing fixtures,

Dave, For similar reasons I set up Calypso’s mainsheet “Admiral’s Cup” style and left the traveller in place. Harken’s web site has a good diagram of the Admiral’s Cup main sheet system which allows for trimming the main from either side of the cockpit. Search their web site using “mainsheet

Re: Stus-List C 29 mk2 rudder

Good one! I am taking that as a no. A friend who owns a Shock 35 dropped his last summer - in the water - and insisted "it will be no problem" and that the rudder "will float" so don't have to worry about salvaging it off the bottom. Pretty sure he is off his meds .

Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing

It requires medium to reasonable skills, and some luck. I doubt it that on a C 35 that the rudder would have to be removed. Problem 1: Pulling the prop. Often, you need to heat up the prop in order to remove the prop Problem 2: Remove old bearing. There are specific pullers that can be used to
