Stus-List Cowl Vents C 37

2017-02-09 Thread Christian Tirtirau via CnC-List
Yes, Richard, those are the ones I was referring to…no issues, just confirming with the list that this is not an entry point for water ingress into the deck core. I have re-bedded the genoa tracks and was wondering about the Dorade vents, thanks. Christian Northern Light

Stus-List Cowl Vents C 37

2017-02-09 Thread Christian Tirtirau via CnC-List
HEY GUYS, Does anyone know if the holes and screw holes around the cowl vents on a 37 have any core exposed to the elements? I've replaced mine and am wondering if I need to epoxy and seal the holes. I’m guessing it would have been a big let-down to expose core to all that water on deck.

Stus-List Choosing an anchor for a C 35 mkll

2016-10-24 Thread Christian Tirtirau via CnC-List
I second Dave’s view on the 3rd generation anchors. CQR is in fact the worst anchor ever made, that’s why they had to be heavily oversized to work. Delta is a 2nd generation anchor, good but not great. For such a critical piece of equipment the choice should be one of the 3rd gen anchors. Spade

Stus-List Singing Rigging

2016-07-25 Thread Christian Tirtirau via CnC-List
Hello fellow seers, I'm getting this humming in the mast as soon as I have a little breeze while on the mooring ball and it's really annoying. At first I thought it was a generator or an engine sound propagated by water but I realized it's the strings of this big violin that are singing. Any

Stus-List SOS Signals and Other Ruminations

As a side comment to the SOS signals post, there are several dimensions to be considered. One is between what is needed according to regulations and what is really needed in a real life situation. We all know by now that the gap between regulations and reality is only increasing. You need to

Paul, The Autohelm 5000 is a fine piece of engineering, and the linear drive is great. It steered for me for thousands of miles around the South Pacific and Asia when I didn't have enough wind for the windvane. If I were you, I'd try to get another drive from ebay and keep the existing system.

Stus-List Dropping the Rudder

I'm planning to drop the rudder on my 37 and re-core it with foam, and was wondering what I should look for and expect when doing this operation? What are the steps involved and what challenges have other listers encountered? Chris C 37 Northern Light Halifax Sent from my iPad > On May 24,

Stus-List To StrutPro or not to StrutPro?

2016-04-09 Thread Christian Tirtirau via CnC-List
That is the question, esteemed listers. I need to change the cutless bearing but am not feeling over-enthusiastic about pulling the shaft, as I have a PSS in there as well, and pulling the shaft is almost never easy. With the StrutPro all the circus involved in this operation is eliminated, BUT

Hi guys, I’m the new owner of a C 37 called Northern Light. Although this is my 6th boat, it is my first C and I will test your patience with a number of questions until I educate myself enough to remain quiet. So in fact, it is in your interest to educate me as fast as possible, considering
