Re: Stus-List Barients Slipping

If they're slipping on ST winches, that means that they're also slipping through the tailer. :Perhaps the lines are worn so that they are too small diameter for the tailer. Also, there are four machine screws and springs holding the tailer halves together. Those screws should be screwed all the way

Re: Stus-List Barients Slipping

It’s the Winterville Machine Shop—they do a lot of custom work for DuPont in Kinston (I think they ‘spun off’ from DuPont back in the day! Their facility is on Mill St. In ‘downtown’ Winterville—I don’t have a phone number for them. Call them early—at least in the summertime they start about 4:0

I usually have to add two more wraps with Touche's VPC sheets and halyards. VPC is definitely slipperier than most. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Thu, Aug 6, 2020 at 7:08 PM John Conklin via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Interested charlie what shop ? I was.blam

Re: Stus-List Barients Slipping

Most likely the drums are worn smooth and do not provide enough friction to hold the line. I took all my drums to a local machine shop and they ‘re-knurled’ all of them for $30 each. You can even choose the knurl ‘pattern’—simple vertical, diamond, etc. Just be careful that the shop is not too a

Re: Stus-List Barients Slipping

That directory doesn’t seem to have Barient 21-33 unless they are listed as a different size. I’m not sure the exact diameter of the lines but all seem to fill the tailers appropriately. I'd guess the Main halyard is around 11mm. Is there info somewhere that has the recommended size? Do the drums n

Re: Stus-List Barients Slipping

Is the line slipping or is the drum rotating? What diameter line? On Thu, Aug 6, 2020 at 9:28 AM rockland bazemore via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > It's almost like I'm doing something wrong because all of my cabin top > Barient 21-33 ST winches seem to let the line slip even with

Stus-List Barients Slipping

It's almost like I'm doing something wrong because all of my cabin top Barient 21-33 ST winches seem to let the line slip even with 4 wraps tucked snuggly into the tailer. Putting up the main and reefing is a bear. Could it be that all of the drums happen to have lost their grip? Lastly, does anyon
