Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?

[Steve Thomas via CnC-List]

I am not up to speed on all of the high tech lines that are now available, but 
is it not possible to buy lines that are already pre-stretched?
The story you tell could be an argument for sticking with my tried and true 
wire and polyester halyards, but I did buy an ATN Top Climber, and I want to 
purchase the right rope.

  I had a lot of trouble with regular stay- set, then I took the line out to 
the shop, tied one end to a bollard,  the other to a fork lift and stretched it 
so tight I could walk on it for an afternoon.  Worked great after that.

  Fwiw ATN was not at the Annapolis boat show this year. Always had a booth in 
the past. 
  I've seen the climber used. The rope must be tight for it to work well. I let 
others do the climbing.

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.  I estimated 1-2 
feet per pull or squat and a 50' mast.

  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.

Hi Josh,

 

Agree.  But why did they separate the two infected nurses, the ones that care 
for the ebola patient who died,  and send them to different hospitals for care? 
 That doubles the number of people exposed.  Maybe it's for training the 
hospital staff?

Re: Stus-List Butyl

[Letsgo Sailing via CnC-List]

I use 99% alcohol that I buy in five gallon pales for work to clean
everything and remove everything. I used it for butyl too and uncured epoxy
that I use for the base insulators, it is a little expensive but works
without harming anything.

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. 

What product would you recommend Mike use to clean his unwanted butyl ?

True. These are all preventable / voluntary conditions that are not
contagious. Ebola is scary. Ask anyone who lives near West Africa. The wee
ones and us old guys are most vulnerable. I am concerned. Not because of the
one or two cases but because of the inevitable spread of this incurable and
aggressive disease through this very mobile society.

Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers

[Kim Brown via CnC-List]

Edd
I have the ATN version of the mast climber and find it works fine. A taut
line to climb on is important.  I find coming down is actually harder than
going up- you are tempted to take too big a step. Had the MastMate web
ladder on the last boat and it works but I found the steps uncomfortably far
apart (I have short legs-though they do reach the ground.) and the
webbing tended cut into my ankles.  Found that both get you high enough to
work on the masthead as needed. Like others I do prefer to just grind the
wife/daughter up in a chair. They both think it is neat but both are tool
challenged so once at the top they are only good for pretty pictures.

Re: Stus-List Farley Mowat and thanks

[Richard N. Bush via CnC-List]

Sometime last spring, someone on the list mentioned that he was reading the 
Farley Mowat book; The Boat Who Wouldn't Float; I had never heard of Mr. 
Mowat, but noted that the comment was that the book was enjoyable. So I picked 
up a used paperback copy on ebay.  I laid it aside during spring launch and 
other activities, and came across it a couple of weeks ago.   I just finished 
the book and I am hooked. This was a great read and I couldn't put it down.  
Since I know little of the northern waters described in the book, I kept my 
laptop next to me and scoped out all of the places they went, which made it 
even more enjoyable.   So thank you to whomever it was that suggested the book, 
I am now a Mowat fan!

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers

[Joseph Sisson via CnC-List]

Edd,

I have rigged a mast self climber using rock climbing gear that I had on hand.
I used my rock climbing harness, three carabiners, two cords (about half the 
diameter of your spinnaker halyard) and the spinnaker halyard.
All the gear is rated for climbing so I was confident that my safety was not in 
jeopardy.
As a back up, I had a friend belay me by keeping tension on the main halyard 
that I rigged into the system.

You will have to experiment with the length of the two cords so that one will 
be attached to your harness (which you will sit down in to take the weight off 
your feet),
and one cord will extend down to your feet (which you will stand on to take the 
weight off your harness).
The cords are attached around both strands of your spinnaker halyard using a 
carabiner (one carabiner for each cord) and a bachmann hitch and one of the 
cords is attached to your harness and the other is rigged with loops for your 
feet to fit into.

The third carabiner is attached to the main halyard and clipped through the 
harness climbing loops (NOT THROUGH THE BELAY LOOP).

I start by sitting in the harness (now the bachmann hitch grabs tight to the 
spinnaker halyard and my weight is transferred to the spin hal).
I then bend my knees and lift up my feet  as close to my but as I can get them.
This will put slack in the cord with the foot loops and you then move the 
bachmann hitch up the spin hal as far as you can reach.
Now straighten your legs and stand on the foot loops and your weight will be 
supported by the bachmann hitch and cord to your feet.
This will put slack in the other cord to your harness so you move that bachmann 
hitch up the spin hal as far as you can reach.
Now sit into your harness and raise your feet to start the cycle over again.  
Repeat until you are as far up the mast as you want to go.

To come down reverse the process.

The advantage of this system is that it cost me nothing (I already had all the 
gear) and I did not have to purchase ascenders as the bachmann hitch worked 
just fine.
The other advantage is that the lack of ascenders used results in no damage to 
the spinnaker halyard  and no need to purchase an extra rope to climb the mast.

If you visit your local indoor climbing gym I am sure they will be able to 
advise you on the gear that you will need for this simple system.

In a pinch (emergency) you can use this system to climb the mast yourself, but 
always have someone belay you with the main halyard if possible.

Cheers,

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?

[Gary Nylander via CnC-List]

I followed a similar thread on this list a number of years ago. I built a 
climbing harness from rock climbing equipment. It worked pretty good going up, 
but was a bit of a pain coming down. If someone wants it, it is available for 
the shipping - it  is two carabineers and some strapping. I have decided to let 
the boat yard with its crane and the little car the mechanic rides in do my 
mast top work from now on - I just don't need to work that hard (and the boat 
partner - ex admiral pays her half).

about 4.5 minutes in to the video.  I am sure it would take me a lot longer to 
go up, but it looks easy to use.  Still don’t know the cost (are you listening,

Here's a couple of links to spring off of for ascender climbing.  The foot

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.  This is one reason I prefer 
a harness.

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.

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?

[Petar Horvatic via CnC-List]

I built one of these but using starboard instead of marine ply.  I also had
a bigger eye at the bottom to guide the line easier.

http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo167/knuterikt/mastClimber-2.jpg

 

I ascended once to the top this year, and few times to the 1st spreader.  My
girlfriend was there to belay the safety halyard for the way up and down.
But I was able to pull my weight without a problem.  It takes a bit getting
used to and always have a safety line.

Re: Stus-List Farley Mowat and thanks

One of his best books was And No Birds Sang, the story of his experience
fighting with the Hasty Ps of the Canadian Army in Italy in WWII. He landed
in Sicily and fought all the way up to Ortona, where he finally succumbed
to battle fatigue. It took him a long time to decide to write that book. It
was published in 1979. His father's boat, and the boat that he grew up with
in Hastings and Patricia Counties in the Bay of Quinte is part of the
collection of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, and has
been recently restored.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers

[Paul Baker via CnC-List]

I have a similar system except I use a prussic loop rather than the bachman, 
and then two climbing tapes to go from loop to harness or feet, I think they 
are more secure and they work in both directions should you find yourself 
upside down for some reason.

Edd, 


I have rigged a mast self climber using rock climbing gear that I had on hand. 
I used my rock climbing harness, three carabiners, two cords (about half the 
diameter of your spinnaker halyard) and the spinnaker halyard. 
All the gear is rated for climbing so I was confident that my safety was not in 
jeopardy. 
As a back up, I had a friend belay me by keeping tension on the main halyard 
that I rigged into the system. 


You will have to experiment with the length of the two cords so that one will 
be attached to your harness (which you will sit down in to take the weight off 
your feet), 
and one cord will extend down to your feet (which you will stand on to take the 
weight off your harness). 
The cords are attached around both strands of your spinnaker halyard using a 
carabiner (one carabiner for each cord) and a bachmann hitch and one of the 
cords is attached to your harness and the other is rigged with loops for your 
feet to fit into. 


The third carabiner is attached to the main halyard and clipped through the 
harness climbing loops (NOT THROUGH THE BELAY LOOP). 


I start by sitting in the harness (now the bachmann hitch grabs tight to the 
spinnaker halyard and my weight is transferred to the spin hal). 
I then bend my knees and lift up my feet  as close to my but as I can get them. 
This will put slack in the cord with the foot loops and you then move the 
bachmann hitch up the spin hal as far as you can reach. 
Now straighten your legs and stand on the foot loops and your weight will be 
supported by the bachmann hitch and cord to your feet. 
This will put slack in the other cord to your harness so you move that bachmann 
hitch up the spin hal as far as you can reach. 
Now sit into your harness and raise your feet to start the cycle over again.  
Repeat until you are as far up the mast as you want to go. 


To come down reverse the process. 


The advantage of this system is that it cost me nothing (I already had all the 
gear) and I did not have to purchase ascenders as the bachmann hitch worked 
just fine. 
The other advantage is that the lack of ascenders used results in no damage to 
the spinnaker halyard  and no need to purchase an extra rope to climb the mast. 


If you visit your local indoor climbing gym I am sure they will be able to 
advise you on the gear that you will need for this simple system. 


In a pinch (emergency) you can use this system to climb the mast yourself, but 
always have someone belay you with the main halyard if possible.

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. 

What product would you recommend Mike use to clean his unwanted butyl ?

that?

Fall series racing out of Schooner Cove this Sunday.

I hope the gale warning forecast will ease up a 
bit for Sunday morning. The little boats don't 
like to go out if it's blowing over 20 knots at 
the start. It will be a bit damp so I better dig out the woolies.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

The best ascenders are made for speleologists (cave climbers). Buy those at any 
place that sells climbing gear (e.g. MEC.ca). Petzl initially was dealing in 
that kind of gear (now they have just about anything climbing related). I would 
look at Petzl or Grivel (around $70).

I trust the climbing gear much more than anything else as climbers use that 
gear all the time (sailors only occasionally and with great reluctance).

If you want some extra ease in climbing up or want to have something to stand 
up on, try a string of these: 
http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/big-wall-climbing/alpine-aiders-BD390050ALL1.html
 (Black Diamond Climbing Aider). It is not that much different than climbing 
the mast steps.

If you prefer to live to tell the story, always use a second line for safety 
(one to hang on, one spare). If you don’t, make sure that you have a video 
camera filming the story and have someone to post it to Darwin Awards.

Stus-List drive strut

[Douglas via CnC-List]

I had my 38 hauled out to have some glass work done on the knife edge of the
transom, because some moron bumped it (300-ft space between docks).
While it was up on sticks I figured I get some work done, like zincs, grease
the maxi prop, etc.
I notice something with my strut.
I have moisture around the base of the strut, in the form of a square. 
Strut seems to be tight, to the untrained eye.
I understand after they are installed (bolted up) they are glazed in, using
epoxy or fairing or a combination, possibly even glassed in (rare).
The cause can be vibration from misalignment, worn cutlass bearing or loose
bolts or again any combination.
Anyone ever have this issue and have some suggestions.
I believe the filler to smooth it out is cracked.
Thanks

I built one of these but using starboard instead of marine ply.  I also had
a bigger eye at the bottom to guide the line easier.

I ascended once to the top this year, and few times to the 1st spreader.  My
girlfriend was there to belay the safety halyard for the way up and down.
But I was able to pull my weight without a problem.  It takes a bit getting
used to and always have a safety line.

Re: Stus-List drive strut

[Wally Bryant via CnC-List]

Larry - after this much time it could be anything.  I've replaced my 
filler twice.  It could be simple marine putty, fairing compound, etc.  
You can pick at it and see. The strut is bolted into a recess and 
puttied fair.  The last time I did it, I used fiber reinforced 
vinylester putty from Everlast, and that seems to be holding up really 
well.


As to why it's failing, it could just be age.  Or it could be vibration 
from a loose cutlass bearing, or you might have wrapped something around 
the prop without noticing.  Unless there's water coming inside the boat 
it's just superficial.

Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

[Eric Frank via CnC-List]

Practical Sailor recently posted a suggestion for winterizing the Dripless PYI 
shaft seal.  PS said to unclamp the SS rotor from the prop shaft so the bellows 
could expand to its uncompressed state.  I have never done this, and with the 
recent discussion about the set screws holding the rotor in place on the prop 
shaft, I wonder if it is worth it.  Would be interested in what other PYI users 
do.  I did replace the entire unit last winter; at full engine RPM I had 
noticed water spraying out between the rotor and the carbon flange, perhaps 
because the thrust of the prop pushed the shaft forward until the rotor did not 
make good contact with the flange.  When I unclamped the rotor and slid it 
forward to inspect, the bellows was very stiff and there were some small pits 
in the carbon and the rotor surfaces. PYI recommended replacing the entire 
unit, which I did, and it has worked fine this summer.  But it had worked 
flawlessly for the 8 years I owned the boat, and looked like it had been
  installed well before that, without doing anything to winterize it - just 
checking to make sure it was not leaking at the beginning of each season.  So 
what's the feeling about following PS's suggestion?

Re: Stus-List drive strut

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Been there, done that several haulouts.  The fairing compound in the gap
between the strut base and the strut recess is subject to cracking due to
vibration of the drive train. If your shaft is aligned and your prop is in
balance, then I tend to believe it is purely cosmetic IF your strut
fasteners are tight.  Grind out the compound a bit and put it some new
compound, fair it, paint it and splash.

Chances are you may see it again next haulout.

Stus-List torqing keel bolts

[LKL Architects via CnC-List]

LkL
 

Hello Listers,



While on the hard want to check the nuts on the keel bolts and understand 250 
lbs is needed.  Boat mechanic says it is very difficult to get the proper 
leverage deep in the bilge.  Anyone ever used a small jack and maybe also with 
a cheater pipe to apply side pressure against the bilge walls to move the 
torque wrench.



Also, mechanic suggested slightly loosening the nuts first and then 
re-tightening.  That does not sound good to me.  Any thought on his suggestion.



I thank any responses in advance always appreciate the help.

Re: Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

[Petar Horvatic via CnC-List]

I wonder if your pits were from not using it and then oxidation or
electrolysis cause carbon material to deteriorate.  The more you use it the
better the seal is as the carbon polishes itself out.  I had leakage when my
prop coupling was badly miss-aligned but once I fixed that, leakage went
away.  Don't forget to replace set screws every time you loosen them. I
installed mine new in 2004.  Had it out on 4-5 occasions at which time I
would soak everything in a tupperware container with WD40 for few days then
wipe it clean.  

Then I read this article.  
http://www.passagemaker.com/articles/technical/running-gear/dripless-shaft-s
eals/
  
And I realized that I was probably lucky that I never had a problem.  I am
due for whatever overhaul kit comes for it.  They don't specify the size and
thread on the set screw.  I have ordered a 25 pack from mcmaster 5/16-18 in
316SS, with a point set.  I am yet to see how they fit.

there were some small pits in the carbon and the rotor surfaces. PYI
recommended replacing the entire unit, which I did, and it has worked fine
this summer.  But it had worked flawlessly for the 8 years I owned the boat,
and looked like it had been installed well before that, without doing
anything to winterize it - just checking to make sure it was not leaking at

Re: Stus-List sailing this weekend

looks like 16 to 18 knt winds with 24 knt gust and 7' seas tomorrow up here.  
I'm holding off for colder and calmer seas of 4' on Sunday...  LOL Coming out 
of and getting back into the westport river can be pretty exciting in those

 Fall series racing out of Schooner Cove this Sunday. 

 I hope the gale warning forecast will ease up a bit for Sunday morning. The 
little boats don't like to go out if it's blowing over 20 knots at the start. 
It will be a bit damp so I better dig out the woolies.

 That's our forecast for the next 7 days. We might get a bit of a break today 
so this may be the day I go out and take all the summer cruising gear off. 
 While a little depressing, the good side of this is that the boat sails much 
better without all that crap on it.

 Hello Listers,



 While on the hard want to check the nuts on the keel bolts and understand
 250 lbs is needed.  Boat mechanic says it is very difficult to get the
 proper leverage deep in the bilge.  Anyone ever used a small jack and
 maybe also with a cheater pipe to apply side pressure against the bilge
 walls to move the torque wrench.



 Also, mechanic suggested slightly loosening the nuts first and then
 re-tightening.  That does not sound good to me.  Any thought on his

Stus-List drive strut

[Robert Abbott via CnC-List]

Douglas:

You already have had good advice from the CC listers.  No new advice 
from me but here is what we did with the same situation you are 
experiencing.


When we bought our boat in 2006, the strut base had a fine hairline 
crack.  We decided to dig out all the filler, mainly to check the 
nuts/bolts and related structure holding the 'strut'. All was 
O.Kbut now we know.the hairline crack was probably caused by 
vibration from a worn cutlass bearing..no big dealwe replaced 
the cutlass bearing and refilled the strut base with I think, polyester 
resinif I can remember it took two litre cans I bought at Canadian 
Tire for $10 per litre versus $50 per litre at the Binnacle.exact 
same resin made by 3Mone in a red label for $10 and the other in a 
green labeled can for $50.  Nine seasons later, still no new hairline 
cracks.

I notice something with my strut.
I have moisture around the base of the strut, in the form of a square.
Strut seems to be tight, to the untrained eye.
I understand after they are installed (bolted up) they are glazed in, using
epoxy or fairing or a combination, possibly even glassed in (rare).
The cause can be vibration from misalignment, worn cutlass bearing or loose

Anyone ever have this issue and have some suggestions.
I believe the filler to smooth it out is cracked.

Re: Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

[Martin DeYoung via CnC-List]

I second following PYI’s recommendations for maintenance and winterizing.

I replaced Calypso’s bellows and carbon rotor after 8 years.  The SS rotor was 
fine with a little cleaning.  I had the PYI instruction sheet in hand as I set 
the bellows compression and tightened the SS rotor in place.

For the past 29 years of owning boats with PYI Shaft Seals installed I have not 
de-commissioned the shaft seal over winter.  We often use the boat all year, 
but only once or twice a month between December and March. (This year we will 
run the engine in place as the deck restoration work shelter is still in place.)

After a long lay up, I would certainly inspect the bellows and rotors, burp the 
bellows and rotate by hand the seal interface (to be sure the rotors have not 
been bonded together), and check the tightness of the hose clamps.  I do rinse 
the bellows and rotor with fresh water from time to time to prevent salt build 
up.

The one major failure of a bellows that I have read about was caused by lack of 
maintenance and use.  IIRC the boat had sat idle for year(s?) and the rotors 
bonded together.  When the engine was put in gear the shaft rotation was fully 
transmitted to the bellows resulting in a tear.

Re: Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I don't touch mine.

Week/old/worn engine mounts can allow a week/old/worn/poorly adjusted
bellows to leak especially at high thrust periods (Tied to the dock,
towing, or changing from full reverse to full ahead).

You can often times finish the season or even extend a season or two by
simply snugging up on the SS collar but you are on borrowed time and the
interest rate could be very high.

During the launch you should burp the collar to ensure no air is trapped.
The carbon and stainless need a tiny bit of water to cool and lubricate.

Re: Stus-List torqing keel bolts

[Russ Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Lloyd,

Sounds like you have a good mechanic.
Good practice for fine work or critical assembly is back off  
re-torque but it's unnecessary for keelbolts. And is the spec for dry 
 clean or lubricated?


We just need them tight enough, 10% over is no big deal. I would 
check each at spec then try again at 10% over on any that prove tight 
on first go, but stop at movement.


But only 250 ft/lbs?... have you got 3/4 bolts? 1 should be 350 ft/lbs.

I'm surprised he didn't suggest a torque-multi as Jim did. If you use 
an extension on the socket then you need to compensate for that 
torsion as well (depends on the length of the extension).


KISS, we're closer to farm equipment standards here than race cars. :)

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I advocate making your own climbing system but for the record, the ATN
system uses Gibbs ascenders.  They are full capture ascenders that cannot
come off and have a good record in the climbing and fire  rescue
communities.

Some ascenders are designed to attach at a mid point of the rope these can
come off if care is not taken.  If one of these is being considered then
one should ensure that it is also the type refered to as prusik minding.
It will have a fair lead around the rope to push a prusik up the rope in
front of the ascender.  It will also have a means of attaching the prusik
to the ascender.  It could be a hole or just simply a closed handle, a
handle carabiner combo, or a clip.

   The best ascenders are made for speleologists (cave climbers). Buy

 was dealing in that kind of gear (now they have just about anything

 I trust the climbing gear much more than anything else as climbers use
 that gear all the time (sailors only occasionally and with great
 reluctance).

 If you want some extra ease in climbing up or want to have something to
 stand up on, try a string of these:
 http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/big-wall-climbing/alpine-aiders-BD390050ALL1.html
 (Black Diamond Climbing Aider). It is not that much different than climbing
 the mast steps.

 If you prefer to live to tell the story, always use a second line for
 safety (one to hang on, one spare). If you don't, make sure that you have a

 Now that the Enterprise is up for the winter, I'm starting my list of

 Has anyone on the list ever rigged their own mast self-climber, and, if
 so, what did you use.

 There's an article about it in the latest issue of Practical Sailor, so
 it's on my mind.

 And no, the transporter can't materialize me at the top of the mast.

Re: Stus-List Farley Mowat and thanks, and All Is Lost

[Ed Dooley via CnC-List]

This article describes what they did to make it look as real as it did. I
think
I would have enjoyed it more on the big screen. I watched it on a 37² TV.
One of the scenes that stood out was when the boat capsized and Redford is
underwater looking up at the upside down
cockpit. He swims straight up into the cockpit just as the boat does another
180, and he¹s back in the upright cockpit
above water.

Farley Mowat also had the distinction of being banned from the U.S.
 He was getting on a plane in Toronto for a book tour in the U.S. when he
was told
 he wasn¹t allowed in. He was on a list of Anarchists, Communists, and other
ne¹er do wells.
 Not a book, but has anyone seen the sailing disaster film, All Is Lost,
with Robert Redford?
 I had high expectations, but was pretty disappointed.

  Hi Lloyd,

  Sounds like you have a good mechanic. 
  Good practice for fine work or critical assembly is back off  re-torque but 
it's unnecessary for keelbolts. And is the spec for dry  clean or lubricated?

  We just need them tight enough, 10% over is no big deal. I would check each 
at spec then try again at 10% over on any that prove tight on first go, but 
stop at movement.

  But only 250 ft/lbs?... have you got 3/4 bolts? 1 should be 350 ft/lbs.

  I'm surprised he didn't suggest a torque-multi as Jim did. If you use an 
extension on the socket then you need to compensate for that torsion as well 
(depends on the length of the extension).

  KISS, we're closer to farm equipment standards here than race cars. :)

All Is Lost disapointed me for 25 minutes, then I switched channels, so I may 
not be a good judge? Couldn't stand the slow pace. 

Life is too short to waste time watching someone hesitate and do everything

Hole in the side of boat? Stop the water coming in. Stick a cushion from a bunk

But varsol and paint thinner will remove butyl and will not harm your deck

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.

The one thing I have always hated about Butyl was trying to remove it from 
where it was not wanted. Old fittings being rebidded that had been using butyl

Subject: Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

Practical Sailor recently posted a suggestion for winterizing the Dripless 
PYI shaft seal. PS said to unclamp the SS rotor from the prop shaft so the 
bellows could expand to its uncompressed state. I have never done this, and 
with the recent discussion about the set screws holding the rotor in place 
on the prop shaft, I wonder if it is worth it. Would be interested in what 
other PYI users do. I did replace the entire unit last winter; at full 
engine RPM I had noticed water spraying out between the rotor and the carbon 
flange, perhaps because the thrust of the prop pushed the shaft forward 
until the rotor did not make good contact with the flange. When I unclamped 
the rotor and slid it forward to inspect, the bellows was very stiff and 
there were some small pits in the carbon and the rotor surfaces. PYI 
recommended replacing the entire unit, which I did, and it has worked fine 
this summer. But it had worked flawlessly for the 8 years I owned the boat, 
and looked like it had been installed well before that, without doing 
anything to winterize it - just checking to make sure it was not leaking at 
the beginning of each season. So what's the feeling about following PS's 
suggestion?

Re: Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

A simple solution for the set screw issue is to use the retention collar
(http://www.pyiinc.com/index.php?section=src). It uses very positive
compression (i.e. large) bolts to hold on to the shaft. If you install it
right behind the stainless steel bearing of the PSS, it would (almost) never
move back. I think it is insurance worth its $30 price.

I wonder if your pits were from not using it and then oxidation or
electrolysis cause carbon material to deteriorate.  The more you use it the
better the seal is as the carbon polishes itself out.  I had leakage when my
prop coupling was badly miss-aligned but once I fixed that, leakage went
away.  Don't forget to replace set screws every time you loosen them. I
installed mine new in 2004.  Had it out on 4-5 occasions at which time I
would soak everything in a tupperware container with WD40 for few days then
wipe it clean.  

Then I read this article.  
http://www.passagemaker.com/articles/technical/running-gear/dripless-shaft-s
eals/[Marek Dziedzic]  
  
And I realized that I was probably lucky that I never had a problem.  I am
due for whatever overhaul kit comes for it.  They don't specify the size and
thread on the set screw.  I have ordered a 25 pack from mcmaster 5/16-18 in
316SS, with a point set.  I am yet to see how they fit.

Subject: Stus-List winterizing the PYI shaft seal

Practical Sailor recently posted a suggestion for winterizing the Dripless
PYI shaft seal.  PS said to unclamp the SS rotor from the prop shaft so the
bellows could expand to its uncompressed state.  I have never done this, and
with the recent discussion about the set screws holding the rotor in place
on the prop shaft, I wonder if it is worth it.  Would be interested in what
other PYI users do.  I did replace the entire unit last winter; at full
engine RPM I had noticed water spraying out between the rotor and the carbon
flange, perhaps because the thrust of the prop pushed the shaft forward
until the rotor did not make good contact with the flange.  When I unclamped
the rotor and slid it forward to inspect, the bellows was very stiff and
there were some small pits in the carbon and the rotor surfaces. PYI
recommended replacing the entire unit, which I did, and it has worked fine
this summer.  But it had worked flawlessly for the 8 years I owned the boat,
and looked like it had been installed well before that, without doing
anything to winterize it - just checking to make sure it was not leaking at
the beginning of each season.  So what's the feeling about following PS's
suggestion?

Re: Stus-List torqing keel bolts

[Michael Brown via CnC-List]

Check the amount of bolt sticking out. You may need a deep
or extra deep socket. If the nut is 1 1/2 the bolt is 1 and
requires 350 ft/lbs of torque. To me that would be a 1 drive
and at least an 18 bar.

As a start I would recommend borrowing or renting the
appropriate socket, short extension and a 24 bar. Brace yourself
and give it a really hard pull. 175 pounds of force is a lot, not
too risky that you are going to exceed it by much.

If you get any movement of the nut then you have an issue
and should consider backing off the nuts, cleaning everything
and torquing them correctly.

If there is no movement of any of the nuts you may still
want to clean and re-torque them for piece of mind. Some
points to check is both the face of the nut and the matching
washer need to be clean and smooth. Also square.

I have a 1 drive set with deep sockets so have checked
or helped re-torque a few keels. A few have been loose,
maybe that way for years, but have not exhibited any problems.

Hi Lloyd, 
 
Sounds like you have a good mechanic. 
Good practice for fine work or critical assembly is back off   
re-torque but it's unnecessary for keelbolts. And is the spec for dry  
 clean or lubricated? 
 
We just need them tight enough, 10% over is no big deal. I would  
check each at spec then try again at 10% over on any that prove tight  
on first go, but stop at movement. 
 
But only 250 ft/lbs?... have you got 3/4 bolts? 1 should be 350 ft/lbs. 
 
I'm surprised he didn't suggest a torque-multi as Jim did. If you use  
an extension on the socket then you need to compensate for that  
torsion as well (depends on the length of the extension). 
 
KISS, we're closer to farm equipment standards here than race cars. :)

Hello Listers, 
 
While on the hard want to check the nuts on the keel bolts and  
understand 250 lbs is needed.  Boat mechanic says it is very  
difficult to get the proper leverage deep in the bilge.  Anyone ever  
used a small jack and maybe also with a cheater pipe to apply side  
pressure against the bilge walls to move the torque wrench. 
 
Also, mechanic suggested slightly loosening the nuts first and then  
re-tightening.  That does not sound good to me.  Any thought on his 
suggestion. 
 
I thank any responses in advance always appreciate the help.

Re: Stus-List Mast Self-Climbers?

look out for ascenders with 'teeth'; they can shred the rope on a fall, and

 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.  This is one reason I
 prefer a harness.

Stus-List All is lost.. Disapointing flick

[Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List]

I totally agree with Chuck.

This is not a sailing movie, it's full of holes and convenient omissions
like:

-  No EPIRB, yet had a sophisticated life raft,
-  No backup waterproof VHF radio ,main VHF not water proof,  no GPS, no
AIS.
- Leaves the companion way open in a heavy storm
- Aimlessly drifting around
- Gets hit by the container  hard enough to make a huge hole yet it was
perfectly calm, still, and his engine is not running. Was there an engine
running on the container?
- Tacks and puts the gaping hole to leeward therefore getting the hole in
the drink, with un-trimmed sails, shouldn't he had kept it to windward and
keep it dry while figuring out what to do? He was while sailing around
aimlessly anyway..
- Etc, etc, etc

I guess he gets some credit for conveying all the emotions without saying a
single word the whole movie..

It upset me that after the storm he stepped back aboard the 3/4 sunk boat in a 
dead calm and instead of trying to pump out and save her, he stepped into the 
life raft. But to the movies credit this was not a how to movie. This was a 
story of one man and what he did, right or wrong. Nobody ever said he was an 
educated sailor nor was it implied. There are a lot of boneheads and credit 
card captains who venture offshore and haven't the slightest idea how to cope 
when things go sideways.
That being said it's not exactly on my like list of sailing cinema.

 This is not a sailing movie, it's full of holes and convenient omissions 
 like: 
 
 -  No EPIRB, yet had a sophisticated life raft,
 -  No backup waterproof VHF radio ,main VHF not water proof,  no GPS, no AIS.
 - Leaves the companion way open in a heavy storm
 - Aimlessly drifting around
 - Gets hit by the container  hard enough to make a huge hole yet it was 
 perfectly calm, still, and his engine is not running. Was there an engine 
 running on the container? 
 - Tacks and puts the gaping hole to leeward therefore getting the hole in 
 the drink, with un-trimmed sails, shouldn't he had kept it to windward and 
 keep it dry while figuring out what to do? He was while sailing around 
 aimlessly anyway..
 - Etc, etc, etc
 
 I guess he gets some credit for conveying all the emotions without saying a 
 single word the whole movie..

Re: Stus-List Farley Mowat and thanks, and All Is Lost

Ed, I don't think I have heard of Farley Mowat and I am sorry to hear he
passed. 

I have watched that movie and it brought some old sad memories. I don't know
what you were expecting to see. 

I was in almost the same situation in a life-raft for three days after a
freighter run me over overnight between Malta and Sicilia. It was 1976 That
movie was not an adventure to watch over a bowl of popcorn, it was about
surrender.

Stus-List Torquing keel nuts

[Ted Drossos via CnC-List]

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 check mine 
every year without the help of a cheater bar or jack and I'm not a particularly 
strong person. 62 yrs. old, 5'-11  185 lbs.and have never seen the inside of 
a gym. If you are having a problem, a helping hand from a friend will make it 
much simpler than a jack. Loosing the nuts is not a problem. Loosen one at a 
time.

 Check the amount of bolt sticking out. You may need a deep
 or extra deep socket. If the nut is 1 1/2 the bolt is 1 and
 requires 350 ft/lbs of torque. To me that would be a 1 drive
 and at least an 18 bar.
 
 As a start I would recommend borrowing or renting the
 appropriate socket, short extension and a 24 bar. Brace yourself
 and give it a really hard pull. 175 pounds of force is a lot, not
 too risky that you are going to exceed it by much.
 
 If you get any movement of the nut then you have an issue
 and should consider backing off the nuts, cleaning everything
 and torquing them correctly.
 
 If there is no movement of any of the nuts you may still
 want to clean and re-torque them for piece of mind. Some
 points to check is both the face of the nut and the matching
 washer need to be clean and smooth. Also square.
 
 I have a 1 drive set with deep sockets so have checked
 or helped re-torque a few keels. A few have been loose,
 maybe that way for years, but have not exhibited any problems.

 Hi Lloyd, 
 
 Sounds like you have a good mechanic. 
 Good practice for fine work or critical assembly is back off   
 re-torque but it's unnecessary for keelbolts. And is the spec for dry  
  clean or lubricated? 
 
 We just need them tight enough, 10% over is no big deal. I would  
 check each at spec then try again at 10% over on any that prove tight  
 on first go, but stop at movement. 
 
 But only 250 ft/lbs?... have you got 3/4 bolts? 1 should be 350 ft/lbs. 
 
 I'm surprised he didn't suggest a torque-multi as Jim did. If you use  
 an extension on the socket then you need to compensate for that  
 torsion as well (depends on the length of the extension). 
 
 KISS, we're closer to farm equipment standards here than race cars. :)

 look out for ascenders with 'teeth'; they can shred the rope on a fall, and 
 break the rope (if it is bad enough, but will ruin the rope anyhow).  Gibb 
 ascenders a lot better (more like a line clutch), we only used Gibbs in USART.

 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.? This is one reason I
 prefer a harness.

When we bought our boat in 2006, the strut base had a fine hairline crack.  We 
decided to dig out all the filler, mainly to check the nuts/bolts and related 
structure holding the 'strut'. All was O.Kbut now we know.the 
hairline crack was probably caused by vibration from a worn cutlass 
bearing..no big dealwe replaced the cutlass bearing and refilled the 
strut base with I think, polyester resinif I can remember it took two litre 
cans I bought at Canadian Tire for $10 per litre versus $50 per litre at the

other in a green labeled can for $50.  Nine seasons later, still no new

I notice something with my strut.
I have moisture around the base of the strut, in the form of a square.
Strut seems to be tight, to the untrained eye.
I understand after they are installed (bolted up) they are glazed in, using
epoxy or fairing or a combination, possibly even glassed in (rare).
The cause can be vibration from misalignment, worn cutlass bearing or loose
bolts or again any combination.
Anyone ever have this issue and have some suggestions.
I believe the filler to smooth it out is cracked.

Yes I have to agree here 
and also when he had that hole in the hull from the container . He kept heeling 
the boat over only to see water pouring into the cabin 
It reminds me of Einsteins definition of insanity  when you repeat the same 
procedure over and over again expecting to see a different result 
Isn't that something as sailboat owners we are all guilty of ! Haha just tryin 
to be funny and of course the main character made plenty of mistakes but that's 
Hollywood 
Also Yanni please can you elaborate on this situation a bit more on how you got
