Re: Stus-List Mainsheet cleat and jibes

As discussion of your problem evolves it continues to baffle me. I have a similar garhauer block with cam cleat. I've simply never had a problem with mine. Then again my cleat is at the end of a 12:1. I think you're on to it with the shock loading. Typically cam cleats are only supposed to be

Re: Stus-List mainsheet set-up

Thanks for the input Rick. Today I added a double block at the bottom of the 2:1 and a single block at the top on a second boom bale. I'm not sure if that effectively makes it 4:1, 3:1 or not, but the main was much easier to trim as we sailed today in about 10-12 kts of breeze. As suggested by

Stus-List C 25 MK II Manual

I just bought my first C! It’s a 1982 C 25 Mk II and I’m loving it so far. There’s still a few mysteries and I was wondering if anyone had a manual for this boat. cncphotoalbum.com doesn’t seem to have the MK II listed. Specifically right now I’m looking for how to

Re: Stus-List Mainsheet cleats & jibes

Marek;In another post in the discussion about main sheet routing, I said that my main has a 3:1 at the traveler and a 46:1 at  the cabin top winch to which the other end of the sheet is lead. My last regular main sheet trimmer was over 72 years old (and had even more hearing loss than I do, hence

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

We recently installed one on a 34. We mounted it in the engine room where other electronic items, wires, etc. are and there is also a large ground busbar there to make it easy to connect things in an orderly fashion. The house batteries are about 2 feet away under the quarter berth. The

Re: Stus-List Mainsheet cleats & jibes

Rick, If you have a 3:1 for the mainsheet, I really, really recommend a 3:1/6:1 arrangement that I use. It was one of the better upgrades I made. It has all benefits of 3:1 (especially, when you do a gybe - much less line to handle) and of 6:1 (much easier to trim, especially in heavy winds

Re: Stus-List C 36 Kite Rigging

On my boat I have the foreguy (downhaul) attached to the end of the pole, and run it to a padeye just aft of the forestay. Rob is right about not being able to pull the pole forward with the lazy guy. If you trip the pole while going DDW, you can fly the spinnaker with both sheets while pulling

Stus-List Mainsheet cleats & jibes

Dave; I suspect that you've identified the cause in your comment below. Shock loading as the boom hits the end of the swing following a gybe (According to my copy of the International Marine Dictionary a "jibe" is a sudden or uncontrolled shifting of the boom from side to side due to steering

Re: Stus-List mainsheet set-up

Chuck; The arrangement on my 38 is essentially the same as the arrangement on Josh’s boat, except that I have only a 3:1 purchase on the end of the sheet at the traveler instead of Josh’s 12:1 cascade system. The other end of the sheet runs forward under the boom, down to the deck, and then

Stus-List C 36 Kite Rigging

I always pulled it down and towards me with the lazy guy Wrong, it is impossible do that with the lazy guy.on the 34R I always pulled it down and towards me with the downhaul which was close to me directly in front of the forestay as the downhaul was attached to the outer end of the pole.
