Re: Stus-List C&C 32 - toerail bolts

My 38 mk1 also used 5/16 oval head Philips machine screws for the toe rail. Never had a leak on the 25 during the 26 years I’ve owned her, so I’ve not a clue as to what size they were. Rick Brass Imzadi C&C 38 mk2 #47 la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1 #225 Washington, NC From: CnC

Re: Stus-List securing cables in mast

When the conduit was installed in the mast of my 38, we used long sections of thin wall PVC electrical conduit. The mast was down and laid with the front of the mast on the bottom, then the spreaders were blocked up to make the front curve of the mast the lowest point on the interior. Put a

Re: Stus-List C&C 25 Inboard Tracks

I installed an inboard track on Bell, my '75 model 25 mk1, more than 20 years ago. The tracks are straight lengths of T track about 9 feet long that run from about 2' behind the shrouds to a couple of feet aft of the cabin bulkhead. I installed Garhauer line adjustable genoa cars on the track, w

Re: Stus-List Painted/Awlgrip Hulls

Re: Stus-List Ship's lights

A couple of times I've "surfed" my 38 down a wave and hit 12 or 14 knots for a brief interval. Very exhilarating... and the most memorable part is the sound of the boat accelerating and the water flow past the rudder.Your comment about doing 15-16 on Der Baron reminded me of something The straw

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] New thought re: anchor light?

COLREGS (Rule 30, I think) calls for a vessel 50 meters or more in length to show 2 all around white lights, with the one nearest the stern at a lower height than the light near the bow. Vessels over 100 meters are to also show working lights or general illumination in addition to the anchor lig
