Tom, do you know if your boat was built that way or if it was modified? The 37/40s that I've seen, including mine, have a channel and ports cast into the fiberglass right at the aft edge of the athwartship cockpit bench. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Thu, May 14, 2020, 01

Our 37+/40 has the traveler in front of the wheel instead of blocking the entrance to the cabin at the front of the cockpit. It is a short Lewmar rail between the front of the seats. It is not much of a swing, only about 30" or so wide. But, it works great for us. This is the best imag

On my ol' C&C 35 mk2 with a shorten boom my traveler is still mounted on the thwart seat just aft of the companionway.  It carries a  4:1 gross-trim for most trimming (cruising) and the 16:1 fine-tuning (racing) with control done by two fiddle blocks with cam cleats (fine & gross) mounted to th

Re: Stus-List Main sheet Traveler Location

Sorry. My opinion is that the Hunter design is the most unappealing use of mainsheet traveller that I could imagine. Coach roof is only slightly better. For sailing it should be back by the helm. Previous two boats had it by the helm. The boat I raced on had it by the helm. Current boat ha

If purchase is the issue, I found that the 3:1/6:1 main sheet arrangement works quite well. Originally, it was 4:1 and it was marginal in stronger winds when close hauled. Garhauer made the main fiddle block (double/double with Becket and two cam cleats). Marek Original message

Jeremy; your question is a good one, and it is a good idea to get the information about what the former owners had for a dodger;  the other 29 owners on this list will give you some excellent ideas; however, I suggest that you take a deeper look at the differing types of dodgers before spending

Stus-List Main sheet Traveler Location

Designing a cockpit to include the traveler is the biggest challenge . . . . . On the bridge deck - good for the crew to trim the main, but deadly for moving around the cockpit . . . . . Aft by the binnacle is good for trimming and good for short handed sailing but again is very awkward to use

A friend has two travellers on his 32 footer, though it's not a C&C. The coachroof traveller is used for cruising and the one across the front of the cockpit seats is used for racing. His mainsheet purchase had two sets of bails and we would move the purchase at the dock. He still can't singl

Moving the traveller into the cockpit has engineering and leverage advantages. The compromise is that it is much more inconvenient to the cockpit occupants. Moving the attachment point aft on the boom gives better leverage so less tension is needed to position the boom. It is also less likely to

I was going to say I like the cabin top arrangement for cruising (not so much for racing) because the traveler and sheet are out of the cockpit, where everyone likes to sit. My 42 Custom has the same arrangement as the 34 (the boat is basically a big version of the 34 or 36, with the keel swept

I guess it depends on the wife. I had a traveller right across the cockpit on our previous boat. It was great for adjusting the sails, but it was also great to hit my wife on the shins. The current boat has a traveller on the cabin top, and it was a “must have” requirement for this boat. It is

I run a single line from one side of the cabin top traveler back to the binnacle and back to the other side. It is like a horse drawn cart approach, but allows me to easily adjust the traveler from the helm. Neil 1982 C&C 32, FoxFire Rock Hall, MD Neil Andersen 20691 Jamieson Rd Rock Hall, MD

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Loss of coolant

Not sure if this is common on Yanmars, but on VW diesels, a common source of slow coolant leaks is the head gasket. There are a few places where coolant passages can seep coolant into the combustion chamber, which occurs during cooldown when the engine is stopped. During operation, the higher press

Re: Stus-List Loss of coolant

As for it going into the exhaust, there are two ways.  One is through the head gasket, which should result in steam coming out of the exhaust, and the other would be through pinhole leaks in the heat exchanger, which with some diesels is a relatively common occurrence.  But yes, check the bilge,

Re: Stus-List Loss of coolant

It is only going one of three places – the bilge, the exhaust, or the oil. Check the oil for coolant contamination ASAP and check the exhaust for excess steam and/or white smoke. The bilge should be obvious ;) Joe Della Barba DCSI 410-966-7255 From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.
