Hi Steve, I appreciate the direct, no-BS approach, and agree with you, which is why I haven't gone to see the boat yet. Other boats I've literally run out the door to see, including a Nicholson 31 which I missed last month because someone got there first. The owner of this 35 mk2 has sent me a

I also have a 35mkII and I know for a fact that there were never 4 thru hulls. Mine aft ones were always teed to the forward ones. The aft ones always held water as the hoses went straight down and looped back up over the partial bulkheads before connecting to the forward ones. I recently

Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

When I first worked at C, I did a number of calculations figuring out how big the drains had to be, in order to empty the cockpit quickly enough . . . . . Later on, of course we did some open transoms - dangerous everyone said - but it turned out they were actually safer . . . . . Rob Ball.

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains - stories version

Be interesting to plug them, fill the cockpit with a few inches of water and see how fast they drain. I'm guessing marine architects have guidelines for how big the flow area for scuppers has to be for a certain area of cockpit. ABYC may even have such a guide. My point is if there were

Dwight Same here.  The aft cockpit valves were removed and the aft scuppers were T'ed to the forward valves.  When I was getting the bottom of the boat ready for paint I could make out the where they had been.  It was most likely done at the factory as /Fireball/ was campaigned by C in the

Hi Russ, Thanks for the reply. It has been listed since the summer, and he seems to be dropping the price; I know he is motivated, but it's still a bit beyond my budget, and moorage will cost a bit more than the 30' boats I've been looking at. I'm very familiar with VW diesels, currently own

I keep a few bungee cords on the lifelines at the cockpit (both sides of the boat) for whatever. When I go down the hatch, I extend the closest one to the hatch lid to hold it open. Simple solution that works for me. From: Don Kern via CnC-List Sent: Friday, January 04, 2019 11:44 AM To:

In a few storms offshore we have had solid green water across the whole boat. The cockpit filling up was not a big deal*. We were heeled over enough that a lot of it sloshed back out and the rest went down the drain. The cockpit doesn’t seem to hold that much anyway in any kind of sea. * if the
