Stus-List Ultrasonic sailing instruments?

All right folks, I'm giving more and more consideration to upgrading my sailing instruments. I currently have a Data marine offshore 3500 nav link system that runs and integrates on a NMEA 0183 network. The water speed wheel is old and worn and needs regular cleaning. The temperature indicator

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

If you stay around the list long enough you'll hear people refer to "dog bones" in the reef cringles. They are short pieces nylon webbing passing through the sail grommet at each of the reef points along the sail luff. On each end is a SS ring. The rings keep the dog bones captive. The length of

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

This sounds like an interesting tactic, so I will try it next time things pick up. In this case, my wife was getting a bit uncomfortable, we were already 8 hours into an 11 hour sail, and the weather forecast I was working on was 12 hours old, so I couldn't be sure if it would get worse or not. It'

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

When it would pipe up around 20, I would feather the main in the lee of the jib, and drop it, the lazy jacks would hold it pretty much in place, get the sail ties on and keep going. That is if you have a 130 or better – I have won races doing that. Bill Coleman Erie PA From: CnC-List

Stus-List Rule float switches

For any who might recall, I am a big advocate of Ultra Safety Systems bilge switches. Funny thing, Touché has had a Rule Super Switch for several years. :) Rule switches have gotten bad reviews since they redesigned them a few years ago. I always said when the Rule died I’d switch to a USS switc

Re: Stus-List Engine clean-up

I don't know how I stumbled upon it, but I came across a YouTube Video of a young fellow doing a demonstration of engine detailing, and to my surprise, I watched all of it. He took this old Camry beater and made that engine look like it came off the showroom floor. Well, almost. Worth a watch.

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

For those of us race and change sails, one of my racer buddies told me you never change down from a #1 to a #2. You always drop to your #3. In my years racing since he told me that, I’ve come to agree with him. You might start with a #2 but you rarely change down to one. Dennis C. Touché 35-

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

I did some experimenting one time with a double reefed main/engine/jib variables in some snotty weather. If you really need to pinch to make a lee shore etc…motor sail with 2/3rd reef and sock the main down. If however you have no need to pinch (and/or can crack off a bit) a small main with ev

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

I'm on the same page as Fred. I just reeve the second and third reefs. Our boats are so easily-driven we don't lose much by going straight to two reefs, if we're not racing. Andy Andrew Burton 139 Tuckerman Ave Middeltown, RI USA 02842 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ phone

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

I may be a bit lazy, as I’m a cruiser and not a racer; or maybe it’s just the way the reef points are set up on my main. But I don’t even reeve the first main any more. If things pick up, I go straight to the second reef. Less fiddling, and I’ve never missed the sail area between the first an

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

Until it is really blowing, I always prefer to have both (preferably small) sails up. This provides for better balance and gives me more options for adjusting the sails. This is particularly helpful when going upwind, because the two sails work together. If I were in your place, I would try to t

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

Thanks, this is good to know. I wanted to drop the main and try that, but I was afraid it would be shredded in the process. There were a few other sailboats, but none of them with sails up. Just as we passed by Victoria harbour, a windsurfer crossed our bow, tacked back, and waved... he was flying!

Re: Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

In those conditions, you should be good with just a small jib and no main. That's a lot of breeze. I bet you were kind of lonely out there! Andy Andrew Burton 139 Tuckerman Ave Middeltown, RI USA 02842 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ phone +401 965 5260 On Tue, Jun 18, 2

Stus-List Heavy weather sail trim

Yesterday we experienced our first heavy weather in our new 35 mk2, and in spite of only being able to put one reef in the main, she handled the sustained 35 knot winds closehauled for over two hours with minimal drama (according to the graph at Trial Island that I checked this morning).

Stus-List Deck Cleats

Hi, I need to replace two of my cockpit cleats located behind and in front of my foresail winches. I was wondering if anyone knows the make/model and where I can source them from. I have a 1973?C&C 30’. There are no stamps or identifiers on the cleats. There are two on each side of the cockpit co

Re: Stus-List Oil pressure alarm on Westerbeke 20B2

Thanks for all the feedback and info folks - sure enough it was the oil pressure switch (actually the electrical connection tab to connect to it had broken rather than the internal switch itself) - should have been obvious if I had been looking in the right place. Anyway, new switch, 5 minute
