On our 35-2, the area around the mast collar had wet core, and was repaired (drilled & filled with epoxy) by the previous owner 20 years ago. This area is now very solid, basically all epoxy. The mast collar has 4 bolts through the deck, but also a SS strap on each side, and these are connected

Hi Rod Our 34 uses the same construction. The tangs are to hold the deck and bulkhead together. Mine were leaking a bit some 20 years ago so pulled them, rebedded with butyl so there was flex. No leaks since John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C 34 Noank, CT From: Rod Fisk

I know some of us here had been members of Active Captain, it seems to have fallen out of favour since Garmin acquired it. Guess Jeff Siegel was more integral than they thought. But he did get quite a payday. Anyways, just noticed that Argo may be taking its place – Argo Navigation

Stus-List Re: Deck hold -down?

I have a C MK1, 1980 version, with the same problem. Starboard is worse than port but both stick up. When I bought the boat it had been sitting in the water at a Florida marina, untended for several years. There were 2 things I noticed that I think might be related. One is that the rig,

Shawn, My new holding tank is located on centerline below the v-berth.  It was the largest I could fit through the aft access after removing the covers support pieces.  A little bit more plumbing lines required, a further forward than I like, but it is pumped out before racing for free -

I had them on my 1978 C 34, which is very similar to the 36 of the same vintage. My understanding was that they secured the deck to interior bulkheads, but who knows. I did not remove or seriously inspect any to confirm. I do know that boats of that vintage had a bulkhead tabbing problem. We

Stus-List Re: Deck hold -down?

That explains why I can't find any holes below. Thanks, I will stop looking for them, although it does make me wonder what the holes on deck were for. Possibly mounts for the spin pole, or furling line fairleads, which used to run along the base of the cabin top I think. -- On Wed, Jun 9, 2021 at

There would not be as these deck straps were installed in the 1980s boats, e.g. mine is 1981. From: Donald Kern via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, June 9, 2021 10:49 AM To: Stus-List Cc: Donald Kern Subject: Stus-List Re: Deck hold -down? Like Shawn's boat mine is also C 35 Mk2 (1974), but there

Stus-List Re: Deck hold -down?

Interesting, Don. Mine has some signs of patched holes on the deck, but I haven't been able to see anything below on the bulkheads. Possibly the deck holes are from something else. So the holding tank was originally in that outboard area in the head? That explains the large hose hole at the

Like Shawn's boat mine is also C 35 Mk2 (1974), but there is no indications of deck straps ever being installed.  Two years ago I removed the failed holding tank from its outboard location behind the outboard mahogany paneling. This required removing most of the head cabinetry, all of which

Stus-List Re: Deck hold -down?

My 35 mk2 apparently had these, but they have been removed. I have not seen a close up of any boats that still had them, so would be interested in some photos. I don't see any signs that anything was done to replace them with any kind if adhesive; the holes are just filled on the deck. The

Stus-List Re: 33-2 chainplates / galvanic corrosion problem

Bronze is a relatively soft material, you should have no issues in drilling it.  Select a drill bit that is a 1/16th smaller than the bolt diameter, use a center punch to get the middle of the bolt.  The residual diameter will help guide the bit as you go, and is easily broken off afterwards.

Wow $8/board ft is cheap.  Up here $38/board ft.  Almost cheaper to buy a boat with good teak steps than to replace them.  I priced out lumber for a small bed stand table in white oak was going to cost me $600.  Guess it's time for me to buy a mill.  I have 45 acres of wood

I have a C 36-1. There are stainless strap assemblies bolted through the main bulkhead port and starboard. These are welded to stainless pads bolted through the deck. I have removed the mounting bolts and the holes in the bulkhead are not elongated yet there is a gap of about 5/16" under the
