Re: Stus-List windlass and chain without a snubber, good way to lose a boat

The snubber performs several functions; it takes strain off the windlass, it stops the chain clunking as the boat swings ( don’t know about you guys, but Masquerade dances around on the hook, it provides just a little more shock absorption when the breeze is strong enough to stretch out the

Re: Stus-List windlass and chain without a snubber, good way to lose a boat

I think the use of a snubber is a small part of the problem here. First, he never should have anchored near the path of a high-speed ferry. Second, he should have tied the end of his anchor chain to the boat so it couldn’t have gotten loose overboard. I have never used a snubber on my anchor

Stus-List windlass and chain without a snubber, good way to lose a boat

Anyone who uses a windlass and chain without a snubber should watch this video. Note in the video that there is a statement pointing the blame on ferry boat wake rather than on the owner failure to use of a snubber by saying "very very few people actually use a snubber”.

Dave's math is right. These guys may know their stuff on software but they don't apparently don't know much about racing a sailboat. To win you have to work ALL the details. Completely dismissing any of the components is professing ignorance. The racing software helps.. to a point. I've used

Re: Stus-List Sailtimer app and racing

David, This may start a "my brain hurts" discussion. I just read Sailtimer's discussion here: http://www.sailtimerapp.com/VMG.html In that article are links to additional articles which may be enlightening. Since I don't have the app, I can only surmise what the display looks like in action.

Re: Stus-List Ginkgo/C 30-09/1971, Gloucester, Massachusetts

Randy, The design drawings for the boat were done late 1970 to early 1971, so I suspect that the boat went into production late summer or early fall of 1971. It makes sense that both of our boats were built in late 1971, mine in November (N). Not sure how to explain the discrepancy in your HIN

Re: Stus-List Ginkgo/C 30-09/1971, Gloucester, Massachusetts

Yes, that is a bit of a mystery. Is it possible the 9 on your HIN plate indicates the month of build and your hull is earlier than mine? My HIN 30007972 decodes as 30, #007, September 1972 (and I’m not sure what the date signifies - when the hull was molded, or when the boat left the factory,

Re: Stus-List Sailtimer app and racing

Hi Dave, Interesting discussion. My experience with SailTimer has been mixed. I bought their Wind Instrument a few years ago and it only lasted a couple seasons because the battery went flat. So I bought their rechargeable battery version in January and they still haven’t delivered it. I
