Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit
Francois For cruising purposes you may want to take a look at Doyle's UPS or similar product. It's essentially a smaller chute on a simple continuous line furling drum. The drum attaches to any convenient fitting with a snap shackle. By far it is the easiest system for a 2 person crew to manage. I've used both the tacker and various socks over the years. While they work reasonably well the furling system is just in another league in terms of convenience. Just another option.

I'm definitely getting both as I want to fly the spin with my wife and kids.

Re: Stus-List 1984 CC 35 MIII
Freya (Freiya?) Dark hull? Used to sail out of Newport? If its the boat I'm thinking of it used to be a very sharp looking boat, but abused and *very* badly maintained (I always used to think it was a real shame). Unless subsequent owners have put a pile of cash into her better examples can be found. As others have said the 35 mkiii has balsa cored hull and deck - unlike the mki and mkii which had solid hulls. When the hull is dry, they're excellent, when they're not, it is a significant expense to fix (i.e. not worth it, even if the boat is free). ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
Stus-List sailing this weekend
Anyone headed out? It looks like we'll have frontal passage here Saturday night, so the plan is to go to Baltimore and then sail home with 15 knots on the stern Sunday. We were going to go to Saint Michaels, but the forecast is uphill both ways and I don't trust Kent Narrows with a strong northerly.

Re: Stus-List 34/36 bowsprit retrofit
I have an ATN Tacker, played with it for a while, and decided the benefit wasn't worth the hassle and just rigged the clew down to the bow rollers. The sock, on the other hand, is essential for me as a short handed cruiser. The Tacker was relegated to the essential job of suspending a hammock from the furler.

Re: Stus-List sailing this weekend
We will be racing on Sunday in Branford, CT. The Around the Bouys Wednesday night series transitions to Sundays between Labor Day and end of October . The course is normally set around a few nearby government marks, but this week is slightly different with a course out around Faulkner's Island (about 10nm) away and back. The forecast is for ~50 degrees, no rain, 20kn - downwind on the way out. I'm planning to break the blooper out for the first time since I've owned Mojito as we have a few experienced people on board and a long leg to play with it. It's a very casual race so any other CC's around Branford would be very welcome if they just turn up and announce themselves on Ch 68. Warning signal is 11:00am at Cow Calf just outside the harbor.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?
The ATN top climmer has worked pretty well for me but I would not buy one. The TC is simply two Gibbs ascenders attached custom bosun's chair and 60' or 70' of 1/2 rope. They arrangement of the ascenders is such that the chair is attached to the top on and a foot strap is attached to the bottom one. Standing up on the foot straps allows you to raise the upper ascender which brings the chair tight to your butt. Sit down in the chair and now you can bend your knees to raise the lower ascender. You inchworm your way up the rope. The rope that was tied to the mast collar on deck and winched taught to the top of the mast. One could safely use a halyard pull the rope tight. Tight is key. No stretch rope is also key. I would look to MAKE a similar system but using rock climbing ascenders (gibbs or otherwise). I would also use a rock climbing harness as a primary and maybe take a comfortable bosun's chair of choice to the top IF I was going to be there for more than 10 min. The ascenders cost $30-50. Rope $50-70. Harness $50-100. Gear can be found at EMS.com or instore.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?
I bought ATN top climber few years back at the Annapolis boat show. I used it once to try it. It worked well in the marina on a calm day. A change for a plain bosun's. A bit tiring after half mast climb. Would not be helpful for solo out in my travels. I installed mast steps and save me a lot of aggravation when I really needed to climb up the mast fast.

Here's a couple of links to spring off of for ascender climbing. The foot ascenders look promissing. A waste strap/line can also be passed around the mast and both ends attached to the harness (one end on a carabiner for fast passing of obstructions). This is added safety to prevent accidentally twisting upside down and you slipping out of the harness or chair.

Stus-List Butyl
But the question was what would remove butyl where it was not wanted. Agreed varsol and paint thinner leave an 'oily film'.why wouldn't they, they are petroleum based. But varsol and paint thinner will remove butyl and will not harm your deck paint any more than the splashing of diesel fuel we apply to our deck paint, annually! So clean any space that needs proper sealing, clean it after the butyl is removed with TSP and/or acetone if the substrate can tolerate acetone.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?
It’s worth wandering around the marina and testing a couple of systems before buying one. Everyone seems to have a different preference, depending on your fear of heights, taste for adventure, physical condition, etc. I inherited a Mast Mate and didn’t like the spongy feel of the ladder. I tried an ATN Mast Climber and didn’t like it much, either, probably because I wasn’t using a really taut, low-stretch line. Currently, I have a four-part system (two double blocks) with 200 feet of line that allows me to lift myself up if needed. Of course, the best system is the one I use most often – a wife who thinks it’s kind of fun to get lifted up the mast. Jack Brennan Former CC 25 Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Tierra Verde, Fl.

Re: Stus-List sailing this weekend
Hi Joe, I hope to sail this weekend. Not sure yet if I can get two days, but I'd like to make that trip? Should know tomorrow.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?
Yeah Jack, ATN didn't do themselves any favors when then used the stretchy rope. Too difficult to pull the rope tight enough. If you get a chance to find some ascenders it would be easy to reuse everything you already have to make a top climber A 4:1 block and tackle means that you have to use your arms to pull down 40-50lbs, 75 to 100 times. Not particularly hard but slow and tiring. Using any ascender system relies on using you legs to simply squat your body weight 30 to 40 times. Easier than climbing 4 flights of stairs.

From the WHO website: *The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms.* Symptoms are flu like. It's flu season. Someone could get off a plane and 'get the flu' 2 weeks later and start showing symptoms at their workplace, the subway, you name it. The nurses that got sick, they were taking every precaution they could .. what chance does a person have on a crowded subway? http://mathbench.umd.edu/modules/popn-dynamics_exponential-growth/page15.htm I don't think that's *going* to happen, I just think it's not out of the realm of possibility, so it should be taken seriously.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?
I just made such an arrangement similar to what Josh described. Bought a left and right hand ascender, and put a toe loop on each. Used one halyard to pull up a line with a knot in the middle to the top of the mast, and tied off the lower end of each part, tightly, at the deck. Then put one ascender/toe loop on each part of the line. Took a second halyard to a bosun's chair, with a short loop to a climbing harness as a safety. Was then easy to use both hands and feet to pull up on the ascenders/foot loops, while my wife took the slack up on the chair halyard using a winch. Then I could sit back on the chair while I slid the ascenders/toe loops higher on the two parts, and repeat. The nice part was that coming down, I took the ascenders off and she just payed out the chair on the winch, and the really nice part was that I could get my head above the top of mast by standing on the toe loops. One worthwhile addition was to put a small carabiner in each toe loop around the side lines, keeps the toe loops under the ascenders. I'm going to try this weekend to climb without the chair, it would mean alternately lifting one side at a time, and will still want the second line a a safety/belay to the harness. The price was about $70 each for the ascenders (new at REI), $60 for the harness and about $30 for the toe loops. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY On 10/16/2014 8:17 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote: The ATN top climmer has worked pretty well for me but I would not buy one. The TC is simply two Gibbs ascenders attached custom bosun's chair and 60' or 70' of 1/2 rope. They arrangement of the ascenders is such that the chair is attached to the top on and a foot strap is attached to the bottom one. Standing up on the foot straps allows you to raise the upper ascender which brings the chair tight to your butt. Sit down in the chair and now you can bend your knees to raise the lower ascender. You inchworm your way up the rope. The rope that was tied to the mast collar on deck and winched taught to the top of the mast. One could safely use a halyard pull the rope tight. Tight is key. No stretch rope is also key. I would look to MAKE a similar system but using rock climbing ascenders (gibbs or otherwise). I would also use a rock climbing harness as a primary and maybe take a comfortable bosun's chair of choice to the top IF I was going to be there for more than 10 min. The ascenders cost $30-50. Rope $50-70. Harness $50-100. Gear can be found at EMS.com or instore.

Re: Stus-List Ebola?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/ebola-outbreak/ Boatless Yanni. Take a look at this brief documentary from Frontline. A government conspiracy? But I guess everything is... Let's stick to butyl and CC fin keel conspiracies, which is perhaps, comprehendible for everybody on the list as Sam suggested.

I'm hopeful it doesn't come to that but I think there is some potential. To set the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sYSyuuLk5g There are a lot of people flying into Toronto from all over the world, every day. 8.8 million international passengers flew into Pearson so far this year (that number does not include the more than 7 million Americans). From the WHO website: *The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms.* Symptoms are flu like. It's flu season. Someone could get off a plane and 'get the flu' 2 weeks later and start showing symptoms at their workplace, the subway, you name it. The nurses that got sick, they were taking every precaution they could .. what chance does a person have on a crowded subway? http://mathbench.umd.edu/modules/popn-dynamics_exponential-growth/page15.htm I don't think that's *going* to happen, I just think it's not out of the realm of possibility, so it should be taken seriously. I think Brent got it right though, CC forever!

Over the last 4 weeks I believe we are up to 6 total infected people 2 cured, 1 dead. By comparison 6 people per DAY die from electrocution. We need to keep it in control but it is hardly a pandemic. Oddly they are now choosing to transport an infected patient from Texas to Bethesda, MD. Seems like maybe a questionable decision.

Re: Stus-List Butyl
Interlux Special Thinner 216 dissolves butyl beautifully and leaves no noticeable residue. I use it to prep many surfaces for painting or caulking.

But varsol and paint thinner will remove butyl and will not harm your deck paint any more than the splashing of diesel fuel we apply to our deck paint, annually! So clean any space that needs proper sealing, clean it after the butyl is removed with TSP and/or acetone if the substrate can tolerate acetone.

Stus-List Stus list sailing this weekend
Thanks for all the advice on the sock and Tacker.For us in Ga it's sunny and mid -high 60's all weekend. We have regattas both in Saturday and Sunday (It's just getting good here) the fall season racing series are revving-upWe're planning on going to an Airshow on Saturday and racing Sunday. The late fall is excellent with typically mild temps and better winds than summer. "Winterizing" here is making sure my little Caframo cabin heater is on duty as we close-up the boat for the week when frost is expected.. While not quite as warm as Wal and the guys down in Lousianna, we keep-on sailing all year long.-Francois1990 34+ "Take Five"Lake Lanier, GaSent from IBM Notes Traveler ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
