Re: Stus-List Prop pitch. And handing cc 33 mk1 1976

Doug, I found an old survey that indicates that my Martec folding prop is 16x10. Hope that is what you needed. Regards, Dave. 1975 C 33 SLY Sent from my iPad > On Apr 3, 2019, at 10:34 AM, Dave. via CnC-List wrote: > > Congratulations on your purchase of a C 33 mk1. They are great boats, >

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

When I got my boat in 1997, the pole had been laying in grass for 4 years and was crummy, 4 ½” in diameter, big clunky ends and weighed a ton, I would never have used it. I ordered a carbon spar from Forespar that I can whip around with one hand. I think 16 feet is their limit for 3 ½”

While sail furled (or even unfurled if jibing) attach sheet to pole. Attach inner end of pole to mast. Attach topping lift and fore-guy. Raise pole up to clew of sale whilst under some fore-guy tension. Unroll sail with sheet while playing out foreguy. Reverse to put away. As Andy

Jack; thank you for the info; I am surprised at the 50% extra weight; is that due to the specs of your pole or are all carbon fiber poles going to have that issue?Also, how many people are you including as "crew" does it take more than one person to muscle it around? Richard s/v Bushmark4:

Stus-List : Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

We bent a spin pole on a C 33 MKII a day before the start of Chester Race Weekcalled the Binnacle who said bring the bent pole and they would have us a new one in two hours or less...they cannibalized it and only really needed a new tube, which they had. We were ready to go in 1 1/2 hours.

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

All I had Forespar build a line drive carbon fiber whisker pole (all carbon fiber, no aluminum extension) for our C 39TM 5 years ago. I spent the time to discuss at length the build with Forespar tech at their facility in CA since I wanted the pole to work not only as an expandable whisker pole

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

One other thing to keep in mind: if you do damage a pole, and it’s carbon fiber, it’s going to be a pricey fix. With aluminum, you can usually remove and reuse the end fittings and get new tubing; or if the damage is near an end fitting, cut the damaged tubing off and reinstall the end fitting

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

That is kind of variable. My aluminum spinnaker pole is heavy and awkward for me to deal with. I would LOVE the weight reduction of a carbon fiber pole. It would make a hard job easy. No budget for it through and I can handle the pole, so I do. If I was 5 feet tall and 100 pounds, a carbon pole

Congratulations on your purchase of a C 33 mk1. They are great boats, lovely lines and a great sail-er. We have owned one for many years, since the 80s and love her. Perfect size for cruising with a couple and even with a couple of kids and always performs well on the race course. And we have

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

Currently sailing downwind off the N coast of Puerto Rico and just set up the 22' pole to wing out the jib by myself in 20 knots of breeze while my wife steered. It really isn't hard. People often overthink the process, though. Andy Andrew Burton 139 Tuckerman Ave Middletown, RI USA 02842

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

Joe; what I would like to get is some analysis on whether the lighter pole is worth the additional cost? Thanks Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 3, 2019, at 12:25 PM, Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List > wrote: > > Pro – it is lighter > Con – it costs more > > Joe > Coquina > > From: CnC-List
