Re: Stus-List US Watercraft receivership

So this is the company that owns the C&C name and builds the new C&C 30 one-design racing sled with open transom and bulb keel? Going into receivership? Sad. Cheers, Randy - Original Message - From: "Don Harben via CnC-List" To: "cnc-list" Cc: "Don Harben" Sent: Monday, July 2

Hmmm I asked a friend how many times C&C might have repeated this: He says ... "Let me try 1. First it was that airline guy 2. North South charter guy 3. Hong Kong guy 4 Tartan Yachts guy 5. Now US Watercraft. That's 5! Must be a record in the industry!" Don Don Harben Viking 34 Life www.ncy

Re: Stus-List Reefing Lines for C&C 24

Kreg, On my C&C 24 there was a reefing horn at the gooseneck. I used it extensively and it worked fine. Eventually, I added a dog-bone through the reefing cringle at the tack, so it was easier to hook it up. At the clew, I used a reefing line through a cheek block to a small horn cleat on the

Re: Stus-List Reefing Lines for C&C 24

Or if you are a really frugal sailor, you will pick up about 6’ of used line at the dumpster, loop it under the gooseneck, through the sail ring, and tie a quick knot back in front of the mast. Yeah, but It’s my boat and I want to spend $50 for a nice SS fix, and will it hold in 60kts of wind?

Re: Stus-List Reefing Lines for C&C 24

On my 25, I used a Cunningham to secure the tack. Or you can install reefing horns at the gooseneck. Chuck Gilchrest Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 24, 2017, at 8:21 PM, Kreg Kinney via CnC-List > wrote: > > My new to me 1977 C&C 24 is slab reefed with two teef points in the main. No > reefi

Stus-List Reefing Lines for C&C 24

My new to me 1977 C&C 24 is slab reefed with two teef points in the main. No reefing lines are ren to the clew of either reef. The pulleys are on the boom for the clew lines. And the loops are there to lead the line forward toward the mast. But there are no cleats on the mast to secure the clew lin

Re: Stus-List US Watercraft receivership

The new sailboat market in the US is a mess. It just hasn't shaken off the effects of 2008 when sales of domestic sailboats dropped by 75%. Sad to see yet another builder struggling. On the plus side, Hall Spars has reopened in the states with the financial backing of the North Sails group. Y

Re: Stus-List 3M tape

I like the 4991 because I don't believe the 5952 comes in the .090" thickness which I prefer. The 5952 only seems to comes in 0.045" which is too thin to allow for surface irregularities in my opinion. I am in year two since I replaced my windows and they have been perfect. There are no leaks o

Re: Stus-List mast gate

I like the sail gate because I don't *have* to remove slugs to reef; it replaces the screw that holds the slugs above the feeder gate, so the slugs can sit lower on the mast, just above the gooseneck, and are out of the way of the reef. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 24 Ju

Re: Stus-List synthetic oil

A couple of mechanics have told me this as well.  If an older car has been using non-synthetic, then never change to synthetic since it might start leaks that didn't exist before.That said, most of our diesels never get the hours on the engine that an auto/truck get so it might be a moot point.R
