Re: Stus-List boat painting in Washington NC

Rick mentioned topsides, did not see any mention of hull. I would sign up tomorow for both @$125/ft ! Do they remove harware to? or just tape everyting off ? John Conklin S/V Halcyon www.flirtingwithfire.net On Jun 11, 2020, at 11:25 PM, cscheaffer via CnC-Lis

Re: Stus-List boat painting in Washington NC

Jim already jumped on your question. But, yes, I had the topsides painted in 2017 by William and Beau (the company name is Washington Yacht Service, but the phone number is the one below). We/they used Alexseal paint (similar to Awlgrip but much less expensive). I’d need to check but I think it

Re: Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

I wish I could do that. Touche' has a rod back stay. Probably due to the fact that it had a Hood SeaFoil fore stay when I purchased the boat. For the younger folks, a Hood Seafoil was essentially a fairly large rod with two grooves. Basically a rod version of a Tuff Luff. So rod opposed rod.

Re: Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

I have a decal on my gauge with both psi and pounds shown. I have decals for different size cylinders. My gauge is difficult to read, but a mark on the gauge at the maximum allowable force is all I need to make sure I don't go over. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Thu,

Re: Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

Just to clarify the clarifications, the force will be the area of the piston minus the area of the rod.  The adjuster is pulling the wire/rod. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #028, "Grace" Whitehall, Michigan WLYC On 6/11/2020 9:01 AM, Joe Della Barba via CnC-List wrote: If the gauge was special

Re: Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

I check the tension on my backstay with my Loos tension gauge same way i do shroud tension. the gauge on my Navtec Hydraulic backstay tensioner is also clouded after many years but still readable and Its reading compares favourably with the Loos gauge at 1200 psi which is what i carry on my upper s

Re: Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

If the gauge was specially printed for the size of the piston, it might actually read tension. If it is just a generic pressure gauge, tension would be PSI x Area of Piston in Square Inches. (i.e 1000 PSI on 2 square inches = 2,000 pounds of tension) Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I On 6/

Stus-List Back stay tension clarification

We had this discussion many years ago on this list. I think I recall that this is tension (in pounds) on the wire/rod. I think the reading on a hydraulic back stay adjuster gauge is pressure (in psi) on the piston. If so, they are not the same. I think you have to convert the psi reading to ten

Re: Stus-List Rob Ball comment on 41 "robustness"

In my 33-2 I eliminated the one creak I had by cutting the overhead liner out of the hanging locker interior and tabbing the bulkheads directly to the deck after filling the gaps with glass-filled epoxy, and then creating a nice raduised fillet. I used epoxy and 2 layers (iirc) of biaxial stitc
