Re: Stus-List LF38 deck drains (was: Bilge pump)
I've connected my midship drains to the aft drains and then to a much larger thru hull at the stern above the waterline. They are connected with increasing hose sizes. I described this in a recent blog post. The system works great. I couldn't remove the old hose in back of the ice box.

I didn't think about it long enough, as my solution is so totally sub-optimal that I won't bother describing it. I have added drains through the teak toe rails, by carefully working a hole saw right at deck level through the teak, and epoxying a section of PVC in there, sanding it flush and painting it. That actually works great. If I ever paint my deck, I'll take those amidships drains and glass them flush, and add two drains through the toe rail amidships.

Re: Stus-List Deck drains
FWIW, I remember a creative arrangement for deck drains on a cruising boat that passed through Washington some time ago. I always thought that when I get around to making deck drains for my 38 I would follow the pattern. The arrangement requires that you have access to the area under the deck where the drains are installed. This boat had a valve installed in the line just below the drain – in concept like a Y valve – that would let the water be directed into one of two hoses. One hose was routed down to a thru hull a couple of feet above the water line. This was the normal drain position. The other hose was routed to a fitting in the water tanks. Normal rain and spray went out over the side. When at anchor, and when there was a goodly amount of rain falling, the couple would allow the rainfall to go overboard until they considered the decks to be “clean” of salt, etc., and would then direct the rainwater into their fresh water tanks. Said it worked well in the Bahamas, South Pacific, and other places where water was expensive or hard to get. Goes without saying that you would need to keep a bit of bleach or a water sweetener in the tanks – but you would normally do that anyway. And I recall the folks had a largish home water filter installed between tank and pumps.

Time on Time is a boon to fairness in a fleet race, but I can’t think of a way that you could set up fair starts for a pursuit race using time on time. Since the discussion is turning to these things, perhaps I should clarify the reason for my question, and rephrase it. Pirates on the Pungo is an annual charity regatta, held in Belhaven, NC in mid-May. (This year it will be May 15-17) Most keelboats compete in a longish pursuit race on Saturday, with awards given out on Saturday night at the dinner dance, and a second (optional) race on Sunday morning. One designs and dinghies compete in windward-leeward races on both days. The pursuit course is typically the one I described – about 10 NM with N,S, E, and W legs, starting and ending inside the breakwater in the harbor. The keelboats compete for three deep prizes in three classes: Spinnaker, PHRF Non-Spinnaker, and Cruising. Cruising boats are white sails and not generally raced. Usually there are about 30 keelboats, with Cruising being the largest class. I plan to conduct a “CC Rendezvous” within the Pirates on the Pungo regatta. I know of about 10 CCs within a day’s travel of Belhaven, which allows travel on Friday to arrive for the Skipper’s Reception, compete on Saturday, and sail home on Sunday. (There are actually 5 CCs at the River Rat Yacht Club just 5 miles away) And another 10 or so are within 2 day’s travel. Using the event as a venue makes everything really simple. Someone else provides the RC, committee boats, marks, photographer, the Friday evening cocktail party, Saturday breakfast, Saturday steak and seafood buffet, Sunday brunch, the band for the dance, and beer and soda for the weekend. There is free dockage available in Belhaven. And since the regatta is part of the Belhaven Pirate Fest this year there is even street music and shore side activities on Saturday for family and kids who don’t want to race. All I need to do is arrange a race within a race for the CC owners to stimulate competition and camaraderie, provide a prize (and I think one of Andrew Burton’s half hulls of the winner’s own boat is a really nice prize), figure out how to determine the winner, and get the word out to CC owners. Figuring out how to determine who gets the prize is the reason for asking the original question. Participants will be competing for the overall prizes in one of three classes, in a pursuit race based on PHRF ratings. I’ve been involved in regattas where the overall winner got a prize for being first in the “most competitive” class, but never thought the methods for determining “most competitive” were very equitable. The other alternative I could think of was to determine an adjustment to the PHRF ratings of the JAM boats, and then score the CCs based on their actual time on the course just like you would a Time on Distance race. So let me rephrase my question: If I have a fleet of 8 to 10 CC sailboats competing in a single event over the same course at the same time, but in different (spin Jam) classes, what is an equitable way to determine which boat is the best

The warehouse is less than 60 minutes from New Haven and IMO it is worth making the trip if you can. Eliminating the $ for shipping, especially important for heavier or bulky items, can make it worthwhile though you will pay CT sales tax of 6.35%. Just the savings on bottom paint can make the drive worthwhile. Any / everything else is then gravy. The warehouse is a zoo especially on Thursday and Saturday mornings of the sale.

I've been using the Water Witch for several years -- the bilge on the 34+ is narrow with keel bolt nuts in the bottom which makes the float switch sit too high IMHO.

Stus-List Bilge Pump now Bilge Pump Switch
After replacing float switches more than once, I switched to the Water Witch. It gets the water lower in the bilge, and it comes with a five year warranty. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Just to be clear. The Water Witch switch https://www.waterwitchinc.com/new/SiteElements/Pages/SecondaryPages/Products/BilgeSwitches.html is 100% solid state with no floats or any moving parts. It doesn't cycle needlessly either, It just has one or 2 sensor plates (depending on the model) that probably measures + voltage to ground difference / conductivity. Long story short: It knows when the bilge water level is above the threshold, even with some oil (Transmission leak, another story) and other crud it has never miss-fired or failed. So far, fool proof and used by both Canadian and US coast guards if that means anything..

Re: Stus-List Defender's Warehouse Sale
I've been there a few times. Great store. Great people and great deals. The sale is a great way to see everything and touch it and try it on. They usually have bins of clearance stuff and sale items not listed online. Just remember if you order online you save paying the tax which is usually five times the shipping cost. You can always look at everything at the store and unless you're buying a boat, a trailer, or an outboard, wait till you get home to place your order.

The warehouse is less than 60 minutes from New Haven and IMO it is worth making the trip if you can. Eliminating the $ for shipping, especially important for heavier or bulky items, can make it worthwhile though you will pay CT sales tax of 6.35%. Just the savings on bottom paint can make the drive worthwhile. Any / everything else is then gravy. The warehouse is a zoo especially on Thursday and Saturday mornings of the sale. Anything not in stock has to be shipped, though they usually have most things. One year I placed an order for a halyard with the rigging shop when I arrived and it was ready by the time I was ready to check out. The “flea sale / seconds / clearance” section and the manufacturers’ reps section can also yield great finds / information.
