Stus-List Maintenance that makes the boat work easier

I'd like to share something most of you know but some may not and it's something I learned the hard way. Before hoisting sails for the first time this season, check that all your blocks and deck organizer sheaves turn properly and the sail tracks are clean. Use a finger to check that the shea

Stus-List Re: Winch bit

FWIW, My main's sail slides are nylon and I spray the mast groove with MackLube and I sail solo 90% of the time. I hoist the main from either the cockpit or at the mast by hand. I use a winch to put the final tension on the luff, but not to hoist it up. Hoisting by hand is so much faster. T

Dwight, This is why I don't like an electric winches in the first place. If all works well, the electrically propelled winch is a great tool. But if there is a problem, especially, if hoisting a person, all bets are off. Marek From: dwight veinot via CnC-List Sent: January 26, 2021 18:31 To:

Milwaukee 90 degree Hole Hawg will hoist my main to the top. I have to finish manually. It means that I don't have to leave the cockpit to pull it up by hand when solo. Manually grinding it up would be a killer. It will hoist a person up (others have done it). -- Don Newman C&C 44 Thanks to all

Speaking of data, I just purchased a Voyage Recorder, Has anyone else gone down this rabbit hole? It seems like a good way to keep logs of all your activity autonomously, as I never seem to get around to jotting this stuff down on my own. You can export it into excel, Google Earth, and even g

I like the Davis instruments; they are well made and long lasting, which is a rarity these days. I had an old spare unit installed at home for a while but decided to sell it, as there are enough local stations near me that I don't need it. When I was working, we hosted one of the local stations for

Just my $.02: I would not consider replacing the teak and holly sole on a C&C with anything but the real thing. C&Cs are basically the Canadian-built equivalent of a Swan (only better looking). Not to put too fine a point on it: A classy yacht like a C&C deserves a classy interior. Plastic "floorin

Jeff, There was even talk about putting the weather station on one of the buoys (!). Fortunately, cool heads prevailed. Btw. there is a PWS that reports that it is right in the middle of the Lac Deschenes (https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IOTTAW95). A few of us tried to find it at it

Cool.  I think NSC had something like this many years ago, was located on one of the towers of the main clubhouse that no longer exist.  Lighthouse will be an excellent choice for location. Closer to the race venue and in largely clear air. Cheers,    Jeff Nelson    Muir Caileag    C&C 30 0549

Applying kiwi grip has been the easiest thing I've ever done on a boat. We did our cockpit non-skid areas a couple of years ago and it looks great. We applied more to the cabin top after refinishing and rebedding the handrails this spring. Since I plan on refinishing the rest of the cabin top and d

I did my cockpit sole about 5 years ago.  Still looks great.  I am a OEM kind of guy, and it looks and feels like original.  Two suggestions, 1. Practice a little on a piece of plywood to get the feel for texture you want. 2. Get a bunch of paint chips from Home Depot, etc. to match your color
