Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: C&C Crusader 40

I may be showing my bias for centerboard boats and bashing to windward would not be fun whether the board was up or down. However, you likely would have pointed better with the board down, consequently shortening the trip and unpleasantness of the final 5 days. Charlie Nelson1995 C&C Xl/kcbWater

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: C&C Crusader 40

Hmmm, yes, context would help Joe. No. Horta, Azores to Portsmouth, UK. After putting up with the unpleasantness of the final five days we pulled into Falmouth to rest and clear Customs. First leg was 1,342 NM and second leg to Portsmouth was another 160. On an Oyster 495. Solid. And dry… :-)

Re: Stus-List Japanese hand saw

Much agreed. I have owned several. Fortunately the blades can be replaced in the handles because I get carried away on the PUSH stroke sometimes. And about the only thing I bought when went to school in Japan was a lot of beer and a motorcycle…. ;-) Regards, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Ree

Stus-List Japanese hand saw

Seeing the reference to the Japanese hand saw for the centerboard issue I have had a Japanese hand saw for decades. Awesome tool. I bought it when I lived in Japan. For those who aren't familiar with them, the teeth face opposite of European/American hand saws. It cuts when you PULL it

Re: Stus-List C&C Crusader 40

Richard, Indeed. And it pleased my wife that I got rid of some “junk." As regards rarely sailing with the board down, I spent ten days last May, bashing our way to Portsmouth, England, of which the last five were 24 hours a day of 35+ knots on the nose. No need for close-hauled, board down wind

Re: Stus-List C&C Crusader 40

I don't know if the Crusader's centerboard is 'weighted' or not--discussion of rust, etc. makes me think it could be. If so or just in case, NEVER have anyone under it while working on it unless the board is prevented from fully dropping all of a sudden.  If my 1000 lb. centerboard let go from th

Re: Stus-List C&C Crusader 40

Dave, that counts as your "good deed for the day"!   Fro what its worth, I rarely ever use my board in a down position, maybe once in 5 years...; of course, I'm not crossing oceans either... Richard s/v Bushmark4: 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 596; Richard N. Bush Law Offices 2950 Brecken

David, That was discussed. The new owners are a young couple, in the Navy. Neither have a lot of sailing experience or finances. Shoe-string budget but big plans to sail away. I think that they will be fine should it remain in the “up” position. As an aside, I gave them all the old hardware, b

Re: Stus-List C&C Crusader 40

Joe, Yes, the board is on and in the up/shallow draft position. We were looking at it yesterday and I suggested the barnacles but it appears to be a much more serious problem; it’s composed of sort of ferrous metal, probably iron, that has rusted and flaked over a great deal of time. This has c

Re: Stus-List C&C Crusader 40

One of those japanese saws from Harbor Freight might serve. They're so cheap, you could bend the blade 90 degrees. Great little tool. https://www.harborfreight.com/10-inch-japanese-style-double-edge-saw-67058.html Chuck, Resolute, '89 C&C 34R, Pasadena, Md > On December 9, 2019 at 9:53 AM

Is this thing on? I suspect it is the same as other CB C&Cs. I think I would start with a thin piece of metal I could shove up between the board and the trunk to see if it is barnacled together. Joe Della Barba Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Dave Godw
