Stus-List Re: Cored hulls feedback wanted

The newer C's such as the 99,110,115 & 121 use CoreCell foam rather than balsa core. Here is a good article explaining the pros and cons of different core types. The biggest advantage for CoreCell is that it doesn't absorb water.   https://www.fram.nl/faq/how/SP_CoreCell_comp.pdf  Ted DrossosC

Hi Dave, I did a similar winch installation on my previous C 29-2. I mounted Barient ST24 winches in place of the existing Barient 18's. Instead of using and aluminum adapter, the ones I fabricated were made from 1/4" thick stainless steel. I was concerned that tapping the aluminum would not be

Bill, The cleats were manufactured by Barton. They are made with nylon and are the 200mm size. The track that they slide onto was custom made from aluminum and are anodized. They are screwed to the toerail using the original hole spacing so no additional holes were needed. It is not possible to

Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

Putting an eye on both ends of your genoa sheets is a good idea for when you change your sheets end for end. Just make sure that the bulk of the eye splice will still fit through a turning block if you are using them. Otherwise you will have to disassemble the turning block to reeve the sheet

Re: Stus-List Water heater

Raritan makes an excellent water heater. I had one on my 1983 C 29. The original was still working fine after 30 years. I purchased a new one because the top on the old one was starting to show signs of rust. I sold that boat before installing the new water heater. If anyone is interested in

Re: Stus-List Sail Changeover for 29 mk1

When I raced my 29-2 I would change from a 155% to either a 125% or 135% when sustained apparent wind was 20 knots or greater. There was a 29-1 in our fleet who had to shorten sail sooner than us. I sold my boat and have two racing headsails available if anyone is interested . They are 100% and

Stus-List Adjustable Genoa Cars, 1994 C 37/40+

I had Harken adjustable cars on my C 29-2 and now on my C 110. They are expensive but they work so much better than other adjustable cars that I've used on some of my friend's boats. As a direct real world comparison, one of my friends who also had a 29-2 had Garhauer make custom genoa cars

I use "Starbrite Non-Skid Deck Cleaner with PTEF". It's easy to use because it's a one step process. Wash the deck with this product and it leaves a coating of PTEF which helps to keep the deck clean. The deck seems to stay cleaner longer between washings. The fine fissures of the non-skid

Stus-List Torquing keel nuts

Torquing the keel nuts on a CC 29-2 is a one person job if you use a shorter extension than the one you describe. I assume you have the standard 5'-3 draft model which has a larger and deeper bilge than the 4'-0 shoal draft version. The extension doesn't have to be so long as to raise the

Stus-List Torquing keel nuts

Torquing keel bolts to 250 ft. lbs. is a bit of a workout but certainly within the means of the average physically fit person. As long as you have an extension from the torque wrench to the socket that is long enough to get the torque wrench above the cabin sole, it shouldn't be a problem. I
