Re: Stus-List C 30 MK1 General Questions

Hi Steve, It sounds like your tank is constructed similar to the 35 mk-1. I was going to remove my tank, move some house bank battery into the locker for better weight distribution and add a bladder tank, as Dennis has done. It's just that I never have time to get it done so I cruise and

I'll keep that in mind but in the 22 years that we have had Corsair we have completely rewired her, repowered with a Universal M-25XPB engine (132 hours), Roller Furling, new cushions, refrigeration, wheel pilot, ST60 instrumentation, second battery bank. If they can fix her, we'll keep her.

Joe, Thanks for the suggestions. I have pictures here to help http://www.demore.com/images/Water_Tank. I don’t think I can replace the tank, as it is the base of the settee, though I am open to suggestions. It isn’t an insert, it is all one piece, with a top that screws on, presumably

Re: Stus-List Traveler

I "upgraded" the traveler on my '73 C 25 Mk1 a few years back. The car didn't move freely, and neither did the pin stops. I agree, you need the ability to quickly drop the traveler. The C 25 Mk 1 has a curved track mounted on top of the transom, at an angle so the tension on the car is

I am not enamored with the 115 windward sheeting arrangement. The main sheet goes from a line lock on the lower part of the pedestal to the boom and back. Each end has a lock and a dedicated winch. Seems to me like a waste of winches. The car is mounted low in front of the pedestal and has a

I have an '85 33, and it's a pretty straightforward thing. I repaired mine and cut it in half horizontally so it is easier to stow. Shoved it through the table saw with the blade set at an angle so that rain runs out, not in. Pretty sure it is a symmetrical trapezoid. Sent from my

Re: Stus-List traveller track/cars Harken vs others

The real advantage to the windward sheeting traveler system is that someone doesn’t need to move off the rail to uncleat the leeward to pull the traveler up as you’re tacking. Assuming you already have someone on the low side grinding the jib sheets, the last thing you want coming out of a

Re: Stus-List traveller track/cars Harken vs others

On the 34 (like my current 42), the traveler and main sheet are located at the companionway. This means someone needs to be dedicated to the position (that is, the driver can’t handle it without leaving the wheel). If a crew member must attend to the main any way, the traveler controls are

Re: Stus-List traveller track/cars Harken vs others

Hi Gary The loads on the main sheet and traveler on the 115 are normally pretty high. When it was windy and gusty we would often have one person on traveler and another on the sheet. I believe Koobalibra did have a windward sheeting car but am not certain as it has been nearly two years

Re: Stus-List traveller track/cars Harken vs others

Denis I just installed the same swivel cam cleats last month. Seems to work well. Our traveler is on the bridge deck very much like the traveler on the 33-2. As you said the swivel lets you work the traveler from aft or on coaming. Mike Persistence Halifax, NS From: CnC-List

I agree about it being overrated, unless you have a real tender boat where the crew has to be on the rail at all times. I put one on my 30-1 and it was almost useless in our light air conditions. The wind was often too light to allow the windward sheeting capability to work. I am racing on a C 115
