Stus-List C 36 Centerboard 1978

[Rino Granito via CnC-List]

Good day,

I am looking at buying a C 36 1978.  The boat does need some help,
especially the interior, but other wise is in reltively good shape.

Hull, is she balsa cored ? if yes hopefully not below the waterline.
Can we find diagrams for this boat ?
Did anyone plumb in Propane ?

Portholes and latches   Where shall I begin.

If I can pull the trigger on the boat I would document the refit, to
the benfit of the ommunity.  I do have a heated well ventilated dry
area for the boat. So I could work on it all winter :)

Thanks..

Spinlock, Pretty universally acknowledged as the best. I use mine with West
tether that has the quick release snapshackle.

Another +1 for the Spinlock. All night on-watch comfort. I always wear it when 
I'm out on my powerboat too.

Whichever one you buy, make sure it has a loop or other way to attach
strobe and whistle or comes with them.

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

[Indigo via CnC-List]

I am surprised to see that the Kong tether as illustrated does not have a 
snap-shackle for use at the harness end to enable quick disconnect if needed.  
With any tension, you'd need to cut the tether in order to get free if you 
were, say, trapped under water.

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

[Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List]

I have the Kong double tether and highty recommend. You won't find a
cheaper/high quality 2x tether. (required for offshore racing). At a Safety
at Sea Seminar I witnessed the Spinlock Deckvest Pro inflate with the
antenna strobe and spray hood., I can tell you that this appears to be the
gold standard of all that inflated, including my own lifejacket. This is
what I am buying before my race to Hawaii in 2016.

DO NOT buy this one:
http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--offshore-sail-automatic-inflatable-life-jacket--14897433.
The straps are a poor design and loosen every 10 minutes when wearing it. I
used it for 6 mos and returned this weekend. What good is life jacket if
you cant keep it snug?

Re: Stus-List small craft festival Saint Michaels

[Gary Nylander via CnC-List]

I will be there. Working in some capacity - I am a Model Guild member and we 
are putting on the pond portion of the show with the Steam folks. Will have a 
couple of my small R/C boats out. 

For anyone who hasn't seen the Small Craft part of the show, there is usually 
over 100 small craft, mainly home or kit built and varying from good 
construction to awesome! They hold some sailing races and you will never see as 
interesting a collection of boats and rigs anywhere else.

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

[Martin DeYoung via CnC-List]

Danny,

I put about 20,000 miles on a Mustang style inflatable with harness that had 
the powder tablet type of auto inflate.  It was comfortable and easy to put on 
and only auto inflated by rain/spray once.  In heavy rain I would wear it under 
my foulweather gear jacket knowing if it inflated I may have difficulty in 
taking my jacket off without a knife.

My current inflatable was made by Spinlock.  I have only put around 3,000 miles 
on this one.  The advantages are mainly in how it stays out of the way when 
sail handling or spinning winch handles. It is slightly less comfortable than 
the Mustang with a little extra chafe around the neck.  It does takes a moment 
longer to put on owing to the harness clasp design.  IIRC it is hydrostatic but 
I am not sure.  There was a recall a few years ago that updated something with 
the inflator.

If you will be racing or headed into entertaining conditions the leg straps are 
a good idea.  Buy one that will be comfortable wear more often even if it costs 
more.  Any life jacket is a waste of money unless worn.

Subject: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

Hi guys,

I'm to buy an inflatable life jacket with a harness and tether and I'm looking 
for recommendations.

I'm told I should get hydrostatic.  These things run up to $400.

Then there is a mustang version on sale at defender for $259.

I'm interested in what you guys use or recommend.

We don't go offshore much but, intend to further our cruising ground.

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

[David Lenehan via CnC-List]

Danny,

Many years ago I bought a Musto.  It was on special price at the time but
still cost a fortune and I nearly passed on the opportunity but was
convinced by a colleague that it would be a good buy.  It was.  And it
remains the best investment I've ever made in my personal sailing
equipment.  Frankly, I've never had a moment's trouble with it and, while
faded a little with time, it still works perfectly.  The only change I made
was to convert the auto inflate to manual when it went in for a service.

Can't agree with Martin enough.  It's got to be comfortable as you'll wear
it a lot - should be part of the skipper's standing orders to wear it if
alone in the cockpit or leaving it to go for'ard regardless of the sea
conditions.  And make sure you get the version which has the harness
attachment rings.

Mine is worn over my spray jacket or foul weather jacket but tucked under
the collar to prevent chafe on the back of the neck.

Hope that assists,
David

Stus-List 2015 NE Rendezvous

[Stu via CnC-List]

I guess it is not a surprise anymore – Gladys and I were the surprise guests at 
last weekend’s NE Rendezvous.

I want to personally thank Edd (and his partners) for organizing the event and 
providing us with a remarkable weekend.  It was a real pleasure to put faces on 
names.  The warm welcome and great hospitality will be remembered for a long 
time.

We made it home Monday after a 600 mile drive and now need to sit back and 
enjoy some of that duty free rum.

Thanks to everyone who participated and made our trip a very enjoyable one.

Stu ‘n’ Gladys___

Danny,

I have this one:
http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|135|2290066|2290067=902596

You really should try them on.  Buy one with a harness built in and buy the
crotch straps for another $12.

I have a Kong double tether simlar to this:
http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|135|2290131=1988682

You really need a double tether, not a single.

For jacklines I bought webbing from REI.  Much cheaper than the "marine"
equivalent.

Joel

Re: Stus-List Northeast Rendezvous 2015

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

Listers,

The Enterprise has returned home to City Island (Starbase One) after battling 
50 knots (57.5mph) of breeze on the nose for 36 miles between Black Rock Harbor 
and City Island (see: 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/cnc2015/Sept14Wind.png 
). It was 
like experiencing 6 hours of The Deadliest Catch. 

Thanks to all who attended the Rendezvous. It was an enormous pleasure seeing 
old friends again and making new ones — as well as seeing others’ C In the 
spirit of Rob’s email, some of my favorite moments were (in no particular 
order):

Meeting Stu
Both of our group dinners
Rob Gallagher’s reaction to the Enterprise’s interior: “Oh F—. I F—ing hate 
you. I really F—ing hate you.” and then telling others: “Don’t go in there."
War stories on board Corsair 
The flying Chinese candles
Flamingos 
David Risch wobble-ly announcing he was “shnookered” - as if we ALL did not 
already know
Cedar Island Marina’s facilities and staff

Thank you also to Mohegan Sun Casino for the cards, loaded dice and cozies, and 
thanks to Good Old Boat Magazine for the back issues. 

Some photos (Stu, please add these to your site — I’m sure others will send 
theirs as well)

I owe J and Harbor Lights some money — will get that out today. 

Looking forward to next year — stay tuned for some details. 


All the best,

Edd

Stus-List small craft festival Saint Michaels

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

Anyone going to the Small Craft Festival October 3rd?
It is usually a fun time with all kinds of boats including small steam launches.
Also we’ll be up at CRYC this Saturday sometime to run the fall Opti races 
Sunday.
