Re: Stus-List Touche' steering system rebuild - update 1

Hi Dennis, I had hull #111, 1972 and the rudder log support arrangement is just like that shown for Touch é including the three short plywood exposed gussets and grey paint. :) Okay, I changed the water-pump grease cup to an industrial style spring loaded unit for auto feed. The "Red &

Rob, Where is the Canada Cup held?  I would definitely follow it given the chance.  There has to be some press coverage to generate interest.  I always follow the Chi-Mac race and have competed in several Queen's Cup (Milwaukee to St. Joe/Grand Haven/South Haven/Muskegon) and Clipper Cup (Mus

Rick, That 50-60K spin is pocket change relative to the cost of the hydraulic pumps that we designed for the AC boats.  2 speed, 9 piston axial pumps.  Coffee grinder driven.  The components were literally made by the providers of F-18 flight controls, engine controls and engine accessories. 

Re: Stus-List Headstay Bulkhead holding Chainplate Rotten through

I'd use 1/2" G10 FRP. Tabbing from the back/bow side might be a trick. I'd cut the exposed tab, remove rot, grind to clean fiberglass. Generously goop thickened epoxy onto the remaining tabs and clamp your pre-fabbed G10 into place. Then filet and tab on the exposed side. Be sure to inspect tho

Re: Stus-List Headstay Bulkhead holding Chainplate Rotten through

Hi Dan Were it mine I'd cut out everything but the forward tabbing. Cut a new piece of ply (or foam core if you are drastically against ply) to shape. glass the forward side. Remove the new core and replace with solid glass/epoxy in the area where the bolts will go thru for the plate. glass

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: AC75 boats

I don’t think there is any question that the recent Americas Cup competitions, and the AC45 race series around the world, has exposed a lot of non-sailors to sailboat racing – even if they’re not “real”sailboats. Probably similar to the exposure NASCAR racing gets vs hobby stock cars racing on t

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: AC75 boats

Joe; I do agree that the foiling cats were radically different than the conventional sailboats we are accustomed to. And the crew work and training is more demanding than on a monohull. The J class boats have hugely higher sheet loadings and hardware that is light years bigger than what we h

Re: Stus-List Headstay Bulkhead holding Chainplate Rotten through

I would think you could replace the rotten core without interfering with the existing tabbing if that is a concern. That said, re-tabbing should not be a big deal, provided you grind the surface sufficiently to get to clean glass. The main bulkheads on the 34 are subject to tabbing failure, wh

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: AC75 boats

+1 on that. I did not travel to see AC races (like Chuck did), but the catamaran races were an exciting spectator sport and I had many friends who never sail before watch them with me and got excited in the process. I guess you cannot argue about tastes. I do follow Formula 1 and WRC, even if

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: AC75 boats

Well said Rob. FWIW, Part of me would love to see the J class racing or the older gaffer models like Columbia or Reliance which had crews of 75 guys. Another part of me is fascinated by the new technology developed recently with the foiling boats and I know if Nat Herreshoff was alive he'd be de

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: AC75 boats

Joe, Having seen J Class boats, 12meter boats, IAC class, non-foiling and foiling AC catamarans race, I can attest to the excitement that ALL of them present to spectators when watching in person. I don’t think it truly matters if you thought you could put yourself on board as a participant.

Re: Stus-List Touche' steering system rebuild - update 1

Sounds like a good plan, Dennis. The quadrant stop on my boat is entirely different, so that a single stop pushes backwards instead of two stops pushing inwards (side to side). Based on the photos, I doubt you could configure the style on my boat into your existing set-up. I’m trying to remem

To me it is like racing horses around a track vs. racing motorcycles,. They are both sport for sure, but they are not the SAME sport. I agree about iceboating. IIRC, iceboats were going over 100 knots when nothing else on the planet could go that fast. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-lis

Not really the same thing. Going from J-Class to 12s was needed because no one could afford to race a J anymore. Both of them sail pretty much like any other boat. If you know how to sail at all, you could sail either one more or less. If you raced at all, everything they did was like something
