Re: Stus-List mystery item

I actually know what that is. Back in the Old Silurian period (a million years ago next November according to Mark Twain) I learned to sail racing on an Alberg 30 with a roller furling boom. In those days - remember, dinosaurs still roamed the earth - a roller furling boom had a gear next to the

Re: Stus-List mystery item

That's a vang collar. Betting you have a round boom. Also guessing it is a roller boom. Is there a place in the gooseneck assembly to insert a crank and roll the boom? The vang collar slides over the outboard end of the boom. It is moved towards the mast and a vang is attached to it. If neces

Re: Stus-List mystery item

It’s for the boom vang, or preventer with a roller furler boom. You are holding it upside down. You slide it on to the boom, and attach a block and tackle to the shackle. The other end of the block and tackle is fastened to the toe rail or the mast base, as needed. I had one for my C&C 30 in t

Re: Stus-List mystery item

That is a collar for attaching a boom vang to. That era of C&C 30 (like mine) had a circular boom designed for external roller reefing, with no hardware fastened to the boom itself. That collar went around the outside of the boom, with a shackle for fastening a vang, so that the ability to rol

Re: Stus-List mystery item

That is a bit of an antique. Your boat probably came from the factory with roller reefing for the main. The boom was hooked to the mast at one point and there was a crank to wind the boom – thus rolling the sail around it. That roller gizmo was wrapped around the boom and hooked to the topping l

Never seen one like that but I’d suspect it is to assist feeding the foresail into a track on a furler. My $0.02 Ciao From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of T Smyth via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2018 12:32 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: T Smyth Subje

It's to attach a vang or preventer over the main when you have roller reefing. Very very old school. Andy Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-5260 > On Aug 1, 2018, at 15:37, Steve Staten via CnC-List > wr

Re: Stus-List Rudder repair?

Another cost that you may not have anticipated is replacement of the Radial Drive wheel in the steering system. Often times when a stainless rudder post bends, it distorts its shape over a certain length of the post. Given that the steel is much harder than the aluminum casting of the radial driv

Re: Stus-List Rudder repair?

I agree, you should probably try for a new rudder. SS should never be heated to bend, causes corrosion, plus it anneals it. That pipe is probably pretty soft as it is, but in addition, it would be right around the fiberglass, and that would be really bad. Also, due to SS work hardening , it never

Been reading these responses and will add my experience to the discussion. I have a C&C 26, which is lighter than most of the boats mentioned in this thread so it doesn't carry as far, which makes my situation a bit easier. My slip faces north at a marina in Miami, FL and we usually have an ENE wi

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

I too cant add much to the conversation but agree with Marek. A lobster boat captain gave me the same tip and it sure seems to work. Also, being a single handler, I found that when going into a slip, if someone can catch and hold my bow, sure made things easier especially with a cross wind.

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

The only ting I could add is that when you are leaving and have no headway backwards (an no steerage, but a lot of prop walk), I find that what helps is running the prop in reverse in short bursts (quite a bit of throttle) and then switching to neutral. This way, you start moving, but the prop i

Re: Stus-List Oil pressure and smoke

I dropped Corsair's oil pan during her upper end rebuild. I drained the oil the usual way...via the dipstick. Very little oil in the pan. Maybe a few tablespoons. Dunno if that fact helps to know it the engine being at an angle changes readings, but we are getting 98% of the old oil out.
