Re: Stus-List Grenadine's Paint Job

Thanks Rick. From email exchange with previous owners I’m guesstimating that the prior paint job (also Interlux, over primer) was 20+ years old, on top of the original, faded gelcoat. I buffed and waxed it the first year I had her, and got it looking pretty good, but it oxidized fast and I cou

Re: Stus-List Grenadine's Paint Job

Randy, That is one of the best roll & tip paint jobs I’ve seen, he did a great job. One point to remember, red is the worst colour for fading, once it’s cured keep it waxed. I had a burgundy 25 from ’99 to ’16 and every spring it was a battle getting the colour back. I did full paint jobs

Stus-List Grenadine's Paint Job

Hi All, Since my lake closed early this year (mid-September) for expansion construction over the winter, I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather to do a major project: painting. The good news is that next season, we’ll have a brand-spanking-new marina facility. After exploring a number

Re: Stus-List Sail plan and heavy weather.

It’s situational, depending on the boat and who’s on it. On my 30 MK I, a notoriously stiff boat, I’ll carry full main and 150% genoa in 20+ knots with my racing crew aboard. Leisure sailing with my wife in the same conditions, it’s main only, if she’ll even go out :) I give my crew these gui

Re: Stus-List End of season on Lake Erie

Lake Michigan was pretty much the same.  We were lucky last year that September and early October was good sailing weather since we bought our C&C 35-3 the end of August and only had September and October to start getting used to her. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #028, "Grace" Whitehall, Michi

Re: Stus-List Propeller Sizing

You are getting about what you should expect from that engine and boat combination, so the propeller can't be too far away from optimum. Sailboats equipped with Atomic 4s were typically equipped with a 2 blade fixed prop, 12" in diameter by 6" pitch. The relatively shallow pitch as compared to a

The first week in October was great weather wise. Not so much the rest of the month. Hauled the C&C27 MKIII yesterday. So much for Lake Erie and her "variable" weather conditions this year. Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII - Lake Erie C&C36 - Florida ___

I replaced my old Martec model 778, Dia and pitch 12 X 5, 2 blade folding in 2008 with a Martec Mk III Eliptec 2-blade folding, non-geared.  However I do not believe Martec is in production any longer.  One of the big concern at the time was drag when racing and hull clearance. It was my unders

Re: Stus-List Sail plan and heavy weather.

A lot depends on how tender your boat is.  Fireball is a C&C 35 Mk2, a fairly stiff boat, which sees a lot of racing and has a good sail selection ( #1 150, #2 138, #3 120, #4 85) cut for Narraganset Bay (average 15+ kts wind most every afternoon, except August . For cruising, when the wind pu

Re: Stus-List Propeller Sizing

If your Gori is sized properly based on the engine, transmission and clearance (all likely given your performance), you probably have the lowest drag propeller available. Tests years ago on propeller drag in a water tank(published in Yachting magazine) showed that the Gori had the least drag

David, I'm a fellow Afourian and I would say that the performance you are getting is impressive for a folding prop. My question with your setup is what happens in chop and waves? If you are satisfied with the rough weather performance and you want to stay with a folding prop, I don't think yo

Re: Stus-List Sail plan and heavy weather.

Good advice from all. Typically, reef before reducing headsail. General guidelines for my 35-1(in kts true): Light 155 and full main to 10 All purpose 155 to 14-16 1st reef at 14 if carrying a 155 125 to 17-18 95 on inboard track to 20 95 on toe rail 20+ Sometimes we carry a full main with the 1

Stus-List Sail Plan and Heavy Weather

Brian, We reef around 20 knots. Too much heel is uncomfortable for the crew and inefficient. We have an autopilot with a rudder indicator so it’s easy to see when our rig is balanced (less rudder angle). We reef the main first like someone already said and idk if 22 degrees of heel is fastest bu

Re: Stus-List Sail plan and heavy weather.

When do I reef? It depends on the crew: if it's just Tami and I, I reef pretty early or sail under just 100% jib alone. With a racing crew it mostly depends on how far we are heeling. Our C&Cs seem to be most efficient at 22 degrees or less heel when hard on the breeze. Maybe a little more reach

Stus-List Sail plan and heavy weather.

Every boat is a bit different, but for a cruising you generally want to reef a bit before a racer because you don’t have 8 fat guys on the rail. C&Cs in general are big-jib small-main boats, so cruising you usually would not bother with a first reef in the main. I don’t even have the first reef
