Re: Stus-List Maximum/Optimum Rudder Travel

Shawn, I think you're overthinking things. If it ain't broke don't fix it. FWIW, I would think 30 degrees rudder travel is the maximum you need. The wheel is geared and our wheel turns about 1 and 1/4 turn stop to stop. I never use extreme rudder. Our wheel has eight spokes and one spoke from ce

Re: Stus-List Maximum/Optimum Rudder Travel

I recently read of an account where a rudder was jammed so hard against the hull when reversing and a steering cable broke, that it caused a loss of steering; even the emergency tiller was unable to break it loose. So I would imagine ensuring this can't happen at the very least should be the goal,

Re: Stus-List Standing rigging replacement on 35-2

If we end up pulling the mast, I'll definitely measure it all, and inspect everything up top (and I'm sure there will be more questions...) The terminals and wire at the deck look good. I can't imagine them being original, but the owner from 1985-2016 couldn't be certain if he'd done all the shroud

Re: Stus-List Maximum/Optimum Rudder Travel

Interesting question Dennis. We steer with a tiller and I don’t think we ever go past 45 degrees. That a lot of rudder but maybe it is nice to know you still have more if you need it. I’m interested to hear what other wheel steerers think. Dave. Kaseler SLY 1975 C&C 33 Sent from my iPad > On Ap

Re: Stus-List Maximum/Optimum Rudder Travel

Probably not useful information, but the 35-2 we are buying gives just over 1 turn of the wheel on each side of centre. I haven't confirmed what this looks like down below, but will be interested in the answer you get from the experts. On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 6:09 PM Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-

Stus-List Landfall 38 Genoa Sheets

My LF 38 sheets are 60' long each.  Alegria came with oversize sheets.9/16" or 5/8".  Very soft with a good 'hand'    I think it was Sampson rope that was khaki colored to match manilla line on tall ships.  The size is way overkill, but. Really good for old hands.Spencer Johnson C&C LF 3

Stus-List Maximum/Optimum Rudder Travel

I am putting Touche's steering system back together with the upgraded rudder travel limiting bulkhead installed in the later model 35-1's. Some may recall my post some time back that rudder travel was limited by two small bolts installed in the last links on each side of the chain. I used a sketc

Re: Stus-List New C&C 35

Not quite closed, but pretty much so. Just need to do a final engine test (we only ran engine to get out of harbour; I want to run at various speeds, in reverse, etc.) and test the watermaker, since it is a very complex setup. Hope to close it in a few days. Thanks! On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 5:34 P

So, this is our second full year with our new (to us) C&C 35-3.  This springs splash projects have been to paint the bottom (VC17M) and wash and wax the topsides (Aurora Boat Clean, Boat Scrub, Black Streak Remover followed by Boat Shine) but this year we also decided to tackle the boot stripes

Re: Stus-List Genoa sheets for Landfall 38

Regarding genoa/jib sheets: is it acceptable to use one double length sheet, marked in the middle, then looped through the clew? I will need to replace the sheets on our new 35 as they are too large, and the knots are also bulky as result. It seemed to me that a single sheet looped through would so

Stus-List Genoa sheets for Landfall 38

Hi, I’m looking to replace old genoa sheets, and I forgot to measure the lengths of current sheets. I recall a rule of thumb being that sheets should be 1.25 - 1.5 times the boat length. Any LF38 owners recall the lengths of their sheets? - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose For

Re: Stus-List Standing rigging replacement on 35-2

I forgot to mention the stays are 1/19 SS, not rod. For NDT testing, are you referring to dye penetrant or ultrasonic testing? Dye penetrant I could do myself I suppose; ultrasonic sounds expensive... As we're only coastal cruising for now, I'm inclined to leave the rigging unless I can be assure

Re: Stus-List Standing rigging replacement on 35-2

I had my entire mast rebuilt from the ground up. ~$20k. Plan on about $1000 per rod stay. You can do dyform for about $200 less and regular 1x19 for about $200 less than dyform. I don't think Marlon is capable of being disassembled. I lube mine with the same grease that I use on the max prop o

Re: Stus-List Standing rigging replacement on 35-2

Shawn, I replaced my 30 yr old rigging last summer only because I plan on doing extended off shore cruising. Had I not been planning this I would not have done so, as the cost was that of a new car. I did have to replace 1 roller furler, goose neck, and did a couple of up grades. If your worried

Check Forespar's site for advice on lubricating Marelon seacocks. You probably know not to do any maintenance work before getting approval from seller. Last thought. My boat has Marelon seacocks and I leave them closed whenever I'm not on the boat. When I am aboard, I open only the ones in use;

Re: Stus-List Standing rigging replacement on 35-2

Take the through hulls apart, and clean them up. I just did that with one of mine. Some people use a lubricant on them - mineral oil, teflon lubricant, but I don't. On my boat, I'd be more confident using the original rigging, than making new rigging myself. Since it's easy enough for you to take
