Re: Stus-List Skanky hot water

2014-06-04 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
Water heaters are good breeding grounds for bacteria.  The anode and
scale/sediment can harbor the bacteria and make any form of draining and
filling ineffective.

Aluminum/zinc anodes are less likely to harbor the bacteria and thorough
removal of the sediment will help.

Much of the bacteria will be killed at temperatures over 160°F.  Take
whatever precausions are needed to prevent scalding.  I installed a thermal
mixing valve on mine to keep the water at the fixtures ~120 and keep the
heating element temperature set nearly as high as it will go.  More hot
water is a nice added advantage.

Re: Stus-List C&C 24 rudder question

No, It's hanging on the stern, outside, for a Vermont winter, 5 winters in a 
row since I've bought the boat. A moisture meter implies gouging a hole through 
the fiberglass. Is that what you're suggesting?

loosen the rig.   Use a pry bar to move it forward. No biggie.

Stops

 

Listers,

 

I'm considering bringing the Enterprise to the C&C Northeast
Rendezvous this September in Newport from Western Long Island Sound (The
rendezvous keeps moving further and further east and I fear the next time,
I'll have to set my clocks ahead an hour to attend.)

 

Does anyone have any recommendations of good places to dock or
grab a mooring (preferably dock, but will moor a few nights here and there)
in or near the following locations? 

 

1. Milford, CT (Night 1)

2. New London / Mystic area (Night 2)

3. Old Saybrook, CT (Night 5)

4. Port Jefferson, NY or near Bridgeport, CT (Night 6)

 

Prefer places that are picturesque with dining choices
within walking distance.  Only need 5 feet of depth (which you know if
you've been following the other thread). 

 

All the best,

 

Edd

It seems solid, but how do I know without drilling into it? There is a crack in 
the fiberglass at the top of the rudder,
but I can’t tell how far in it goes unless I dig into it. Any thoughts on

Stus-List C&C 24 rudder question

2014-06-04 Thread Ed Dooley via CnC-List
After reading a few posts of rudder failure on C&C 24s, I thought I should
look into mine.
It seems solid, but how do I know without drilling into it? There is a crack
in the fiberglass at the top of the rudder,
but I can¹t tell how far in it goes unless I dig into it. Any thoughts on
exploratory surgery? I know there are some doctors on this list.  :-)
Thanks,
Ed

All,

Please be patient with us...we are trying to work through a tiny detail about 
insurance and locating at SailNewport.

The dates are still firm for September 19, 20 & 21.

FYI...Edd has already volunteered to coordinate next years rendezvous to be 
held in Western Long Island Sound.   

Thanks Edd and stay tuned for details

Re: Stus-List Repositioning Mast

2014-06-04 Thread Don Siddall via CnC-List

Steve:

In my 35-1 I have used a come-a-long inside the boat using a 2x4 to span 
between appropriate places inside as a bracing point for one end of the 
come-a-long. The other end connected to a rope tied loosely around the 
base of the mast. It was not a problem when the rigging is slack.

Thanks guys, I was hoping it would be simple and doable. I'll see what I
can get accomplished today after work. As it turns out, I'm also testing a
new time lapse camera that I'll be placing on the breakwall today (I'm on a
three-point mooring right behind the breakwall, nice view). Hopefully you
won't all be seeing a time lapse video of my rig falling over.

You really should use spartite or some other type urethane like Wally
showed, it makes this all so simple.  If you make the right form B$ you
pour, you can make a drip edge and it will keep the water out. (I will do
this next time 8^) )

Regarding your mast step, that is no problem, as long as it is in a metal
box-like step.  Mine is in an aluminum casting, and I just loosen the rig
(sides, and fore and aft) I keep a pry bar in my tool box, the kind you get

Hi All,

 

I made a stupid newbie mistake when we stepped the mast. In my defence it
was a busy, windy, choppy day and we had to hire a crane to come to the club
to step everyone's mast .. and I helped everyone, so when it came time to do
my boat I was kind of on autopilot. We stepped 29 masts that day.

 

So I failed to remember that there are wedges fore and aft at the mast base
that keep the mast centered in the step. My girlfriend says to me the other
day while pointing at a pair of wedges in the boat .. did you forget to put
the wedges in the partner? Um, no I did not. Then I realized my mistake and
took a look at the mast base ... the mast is seated all the way aft. I guess
this would cause some forward rake? I'm all ears in regards to how this
might affect the rig, sail shape, etc? 

 

In any case, I'de like to center the thing and put the wedges where they are
supposed to go. I know I can loosen the tension on the rig and I've used
halyards in place of the forestay and shrouds on previous occasions to fix
this or that but even with the rig tension way down is the weight of the
mast itself going to prevent me from sliding it forward about 1.5 inches?
What would be the correct order to loosen the rig? Backstay, lowers, uppers?
I'de rather not futz with the forestay if I can help it but I did just
disconnect it about a week ago to fix a kink in the furler so I'm not shy to
do it again.

 

Any help/recommendations are much appreciated.

Steve - I haven’t done this on a boat as big as yours, but in the past we have 
taken a line from the butt of the mast forward to a snatch block and then back 
to a winch and grind it forward.  Not really as hard as it sounds.   Obviously 
get the rig loose first, etc.Hope that helps.

Stus-List C&C Northeast Rendezvous in Newport -- Suggestions on Stops

2014-06-04 Thread Edd Schillay via CnC-List
Listers,

I’m considering bringing the Enterprise to the C&C Northeast Rendezvous 
this September in Newport from Western Long Island Sound (The rendezvous keeps 
moving further and further east and I fear the next time, I’ll have to set my 
clocks ahead an hour to attend.)

Does anyone have any recommendations of good places to dock or grab a 
mooring (preferably dock, but will moor a few nights here and there) in or near 
the following locations? 

1. Milford, CT (Night 1)
2. New London / Mystic area (Night 2)
3. Old Saybrook, CT (Night 5)
4. Port Jefferson, NY or near Bridgeport, CT (Night 6)

Prefer places that are picturesque with dining choices within walking 
distance.  Only need 5 feet of depth (which you know if you’ve been following 
the other thread). 


All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List Sealed-Up Centerboard and PHRF Credit

2014-06-04 Thread Edd Schillay via CnC-List
Chuck,

I don’t think it needs to be dry in there. A small hole in the bottom 
of the keel will drain whatever is in there every time the boat is hauled. 


All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List Advice on Window replacement on C&C 30 Mk1

2014-06-04 Thread Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List
I have the exact same ports on my 35. It isn't too bad of a job. I even cut my 
own ports by tracing the old ones on the new plexi. I upgraded from 1/8 to 1/4 
plexi just to be safe, but I will say the old ones withstood some pretty rough 
service with breaking waves washing over the boat.

Thanks Joe.  I'll take a look at SSY.  Nice to know that it is not a major 
repair.

Hi Rick,

I replaced the seals on my 1975 30 MK1 last year.  It was an absolute breeze.  
Got the parts from South shore yachts - just measure and order.
Take out the old gaskets and clean the aluminum frames.  If your windows are 
shot (mine were fine) just use the old windows to as a template for the new 
ones.  Reinstall windows with the sticky back seal and then the gaskets.
Took about an hour to do all four - no leaks and they look great.  If I recall, 
 the south shore kit included detailed instructions.

Good luck,
