Re: Stus-List Window Replacement C-2

Jim is right about using cast acrylic, not extruded. Cast is more expensive, but also stronger. I buy acrylic locally. Attach the old window to the acrylic with double sided tape. Cut off the excess with a saber saw. Don't let the blade get hot, or it will melt the acrylic. Then use a router

Re: Stus-List CNG tank refill, purchase or exchange in Canada OR the US

If you have a natural gas stove in your home, is it possible to tap into the supply line and fill your tank at home? It will have already gone through a regulator, so it will be low pressure. I had CNG in my previous boat. When I was in Victoria, I dropped the tank off at a marine supply store.

Re: Stus-List NY/NJ Racing in a 30mki

Check out the yacht clubs in your area. Possibly one or two in your marina. Not all clubs are the large, rich snooty kinds. You'll get to meet racers who can give you advice. Also, lots of social activities. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland. OR On Tue, Jun 21, 2016 at 11:21

Re: Stus-List Alternator Failure

If you switch between starting battery and house batteries, and your master switch isn't a make before break, you can have the issue you're referring to. In other words, when moving to a different switch position, the switch should momentarily go from starting to both to house. Alan Bergen 35 Mk

Re: Stus-List Friday Night Rescue

Way to go, Randy! Everyone who sails in cold water should know the 1-10-1 rule: When you first enter the water, you have one minute to catch your breath, before you might pass out. The shock of entering cold water can take your breath away, and leave you gasping for air. You have about ten

Re: Stus-List Time for new shore power cord?

I switched to a Smart Plug, a few years ago. The inlet on my boat had burned contacts, and I chose the Smart Plug for several reasons. The contacts are larger, so they can carry more current. The retrofit was easy. I didn't have to struggle with a "screw on" ring to lock the plug in place.

Re: Stus-List Roller Furling Line

I do it the way Josh recommends. I also put the maximum amount of line on the drum. It's easier to furl when the drum is full (the line is coming off a larger diameter full drum) than when it's less than full. Also, keep some tension on the furling line when letting out the jib, also

Re: Stus-List (no subject)

For a folding prop, you do have to stop the shaft in order for it to fold. You also have to center it (blades in the horizontal position) for both of them to fold. With feathering props, you shift into reverse, the shaft turns and the prop feathers. Alan Bergen On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 11:20 AM,

Manual propelled vessels and swimmers don't have to be listed in the colregs in order for them to qualify as privileged. Common sense tells me that when approaching them in a sail or power boat, they are privileged and I am burdened. Alan Bergen On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 11:13 AM, Bill Bina -

It seems to me that there are a number of people on this list who don't know the rules. Perhaps it's time to read Chapman's "Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling". The pecking order is: rowboats (including kayaks, canoes, paddle boards), sailboats, powerboats. Then there are
