Stus-List $750 at Fisheries Supply - what to buy?

If you can wait a month or so, hold off until the Seattle boat show and save even more! They discount most of their inventory. Also, if you just bought a new boat they provide a 10% discount for the first few months. Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C

Get line clutches instead of a self tailer on the cabin top. Tailing the line is no issue if it passes first through a clutch. This is how the next gen of your boat (33ii) is set up. Dave Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 19, 2016, at 4:51 PM, Andrew Means wrote: > >

Re: Stus-List Spin Halyard Parking Cleat

For my spin, I'm going to try this with a cam cleat mounted on the turning block at the base of the mast. Hauling from the cockpit should pop it out of the cleat. Haven't quite got the singlehanded routine worked out yet Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 19, 2016, at 3:51 PM,

I asked a friend a similar question a few years ago and his answer was    1. Autopilot   2. Refrigeration   3. Solar panels I now have all 3 and recommend his list and priority ranking. I have had the ST4000, ST4000+ and X-5 autopilots (not on the same boat). Things to watch for   The ST4000

Re: Stus-List $750 at Fisheries Supply - what to buy?

I feel like I see a reasonable amount of solar panels on the cruising boats at Shilshole but certainly less than you would in lower latitudes. The Safari mainly does day sailing with some moderate-length cruising in the San Juans, Gulf Islands and off the Vancouver coast. Long 10 hour days of

I'd be buying solar panels and associated controller/regulators. But perhaps in Seattle solar panels are more wishful thinking than practical.. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 Landfall 35 Padanaram, MA Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 19, 2016, at 4:27 PM, Andrew Means via CnC-List >

Since you're not too far from Portland, look at what Columbia Marine Exchange has to offer: http://www.columbiamarineexchange.com/sailboat_hardwware.htm Kim also can get you new items, usually matching or beating Defender, and there's no income tax in Oregon. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose

I have a pair, they are in good shape. I got them from someone on Craigslist years ago thinking I would use them and never did. They are not self-tailing. Make an offer off-list if you are interested. Located in Toronto and too big to ship. Thanks, Steve Suhana, C 32 Toronto

Re: Stus-List Spin Halyard Parking Cleat

I have a parking cleat for my main halyard, lets me do most of the hoisting at the mast and finish it off with a cockpit winch. It's a cam cleat 2'' inboard from where the halyard passes. Once I have the main up enough I stick the halyard in the cam cleat, then the tension on the main halyard on

Re: Stus-List Spin Halyard Parking Cleat

The load that I would be concerned about for a spin halyard is after the chute fills, not when it’s being hoisted. On my boat (a 42), if the chute fills while being hoisted and it’s not immediately put on a winch, the mast person is in trouble (and better be wearing gloves). I assume that
