A light coating of Joy or some other dish washing soap over the entire exterior of you boat will make cleaning off any road dirt much simpler. Also watch for any possible chafing from the tie downs.

Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Hi All, Suhana is moving! I'm loading her on a truck next Thursday and we're saying goodbye to Lake Ontario. It's been nice but we've done the Thousand Islands two years in a row and really want to get up to the North Channel. I've never trucked a boat before. Anyone have some tips to share? I'm bringing her to a marina with a travel lift. They are taking the mast down and hauling. The trucking co is doing the loading, including the folded cradle. From there they're driving up to Midland to Bay Moorings Marina where their travel lift will bring her down and onto the cradle. The trucking co told me to keep my cradle pads in the locker so that they can get at them when they are there, but aside from that, no other tips. I'm sure there are things I'm not considering! Anyone have any recommendations or things to consider when trucking a boat? Mast lays down alongside the boat on their trailer, not on deck. I'm thinking about removing my stanchions and lifelines just because. Anyone here at Bay Moorings Marina in Midland? That's where we'll be landing. Would be nice to know if any other listers are around. Would be great to have a brain to pick about anchorages and gotchas in the area.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Steve; I have had three different boats trucked for long distances; assuming your are dealing with a reputable company, there are a few things you should do; first make sure everything that can move in the inside is secured, tied, taped or removed from the boat; then take lots of photos for insurance purposes; you can't have too many! Most of the time you will wrap the mast and all of the rigging in plastic. Tie off the wheel so the rudder wont move during transport. Sometimes they will want the electronics removed from the binnacle... I have found that upon completion of the delivery, the truck drivers appreciate a tip when they do a good job, (actually all of the time), so have a little cash ready; then enjoy the experience; its really something to see your boat going down the highway at 60+ mph!

Can you buy the adhesive plastic sheeting that they put on new cars that are being trucked?

Re: Stus-List C 33 mkii mast step revisited
Dave, A fellow club member with a 33-2 had big problems with his mast step to the point that he couldn't keep his rig tight. He did allot of rebuilding inside the boat, including the cavity under the step that is filled with high density foam. After 30+ years it breaks down and you can't get proper torque on the leading keel bolt. If you have the "smile" on the leading portion of the keel where it beds up against the fiberglass hull, I would guess that you no longer have the support under the mast step that you need, and tightening the keel bolt just starts to compress the step adding to the problem. This has been a common issue on several C models. I have a 35-3 that needed repair for that reason. Not an easy fix, but it can be done. If you want to share you email address, I will send you pictures of the my 35-3 fix.

So, I took my (unfailed) boat apart, 'cuz, well, that's what I do... The mast sits in a rectangular cast-alloy base, that is longer and wider than the mast itself. This allows mostly for shimming fore and aft to adjust mast rake. The alloy base sits on the 'glass liner, which sits on a piece of 3/4"plywood, which sits on a pile of putty,(bog) which sits on a built up section of glass where one of the keel bolts penetrates and on a fabricated fiberglass cross-member spans the bilge, athwartships. This cross-member (aka "floor timber") is a hollow fiberglass beam which is semi-elliptical in section. (like an inverted trough.) It is part of the "spider" or whatever they called it, which stiffens the hull. The mast is still stepped, so I can't yet go further, but for now I can see three areas of potential failure: 1: The wood can deteriorate allowing the mast to settle by its thickness, 2: the putty could fracture crumble, move, fail, - ditto, 3: worst of all, the cross-member could conceivably collapse, allowing the mast to settle by some portion of its height. This would not be good If my mast step has settled, it's not by much. To me, the wood and putty part is kind of cheesy, and I'll re-do that anyway because it bugs me and I think wood in a wet place is bad news. The crossmember looks really strong, and while I have this apart I could get clever and reinforce it, but it may be totally unnecessary. Has anyone actually observed the mode of this particular failure? Can anyone confirm that this crossmember has been a failure point in normal use and has contributed to this purported flaw in the boat? Thanks!

Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
The folks at Andrews Trucking head quartered in Niagara on the Lake, the outfit that brought Alera out from Niagara on the Lake to Seattle for me and also did the majority of the North American deliveries of all C7C's made there, recommended against the wrap.

Steve, We keep Crazy Legs at Midland Bay Sailing Club. About 5 minutes south of Bay Moorings by car! I have been sailing out of Midland for at least 20 years. And going to the north channel for about 25 years. The north channel is an exceptional destination. We brought our boat up by water from Port Credit and it was a 5 or 6 day trip. We haven't trucked a boat but will be glad to talk Georgian Bay when you get up here.

Re: Stus-List C 33 mkii mast step revisited
Dave, At least the mast is not in the bilge like on my Pearson! I have not done a mast step repair, but there may be plywood under the fiberglass cross member (partner?). If the rig tension does not change over time, your mast step is still solid.

Hi All, So I checked the various posts and photos available, and chatted with one lister, but I have yet to see a really clear description of outright failure of the mast step area, other than repeat references to the 33ii collapsing mast step syndrome, and the assertion that the construction is inadequate. So, I took my (unfailed) boat apart, 'cuz, well, that's what I do... The mast sits in a rectangular cast-alloy base, that is longer and wider than the mast itself. This allows mostly for shimming fore and aft to adjust mast rake. The alloy base sits on the 'glass liner, which sits on a piece of 3/4"plywood, which sits on a pile of putty,(bog) which sits on a built up section of glass where one of the keel bolts penetrates and on a fabricated fiberglass cross-member spans the bilge, athwartships. This cross-member (aka "floor timber") is a hollow fiberglass beam which is semi-elliptical in section. (like an inverted trough.) It is part of the "spider" or whatever they called it, which stiffens the hull. The mast is still stepped, so I can't yet go further, but for now I can see three areas of potential failure: 1: The wood can deteriorate allowing the mast to settle by its thickness, 2: the putty could fracture crumble, move, fail, - ditto, 3: worst of all, the cross-member could conceivably collapse, allowing the mast to settle by some portion of its height. This would not be good If my mast step has settled, it's not by much. To me, the wood and putty part is kind of cheesy, and I'll re-do that anyway because it bugs me and I think wood in a wet place is bad news. The crossmember looks really strong, and while I have this apart I could get clever and reinforce it, but it may be totally unnecessary. Has anyone actually observed the mode of this particular failure? Can anyone confirm that this crossmember has been a failure point in normal use and has contributed to this purported flaw in the boat? Thanks! Dave BTW, I will document and post this work for the benefit of future generations. ___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Great feedback all! Thank you and I'm thrilled to hear there's listers up there! I spoke to one gentlemen with a Landfall 39, I think, when we visited. All the people I spoke to up there were great. Advice heeded! Tom, interesting you mention Andrew's trucking because they're moving my boat!!! I only have an autopilot on the binnacle and I don't think it's taller than the cabin. I will make sure though! I was going to remove the stanchions and lifelines just because .. that way I can simply throw a tarp over it when I get it up there.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
When I moved my 26 from Gimili to Edmonton I left the stantions and lifelines. I was planning to take them off but decided against it due to I thought it too much work and too risky if something broke. Remember everything is old and may never have been removed. I put a bungee over the lines to the toerail to pull the slack out and 1500 km later nothing moved. I move the boat 100 km each way on launch and crane out. I have continued the same practice and have no issues.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Steve, Make sure all your hatches and opening windows are dogged down and locked. I remember travelling through New Brunswick in the rain and seeing a large sailboat on a flatbed travelling the other way. The front hatch was open to the stops and funneling all that rain right into the cabin. Rick Taillieu Nemesis '75 C 25 #371 Shearwater Yacht Club Halifax, NS.

I'm loading her on a truck next Thursday and we're saying goodbye to Lake Ontario. It's been nice but we've done the Thousand Islands two years in a row and really want to get up to the North Channel. I've never trucked a boat before. Anyone have some tips to share? I'm bringing her to a marina with a travel lift. They are taking the mast down and hauling. The trucking co is doing the loading, including the folded cradle. From there they're driving up to Midland to Bay Moorings Marina where their travel lift will bring her down and onto the cradle. The trucking co told me to keep my cradle pads in the locker so that they can get at them when they are there, but aside from that, no other tips. I'm sure there are things I'm not considering! Anyone have any recommendations or things to consider when trucking a boat? Mast lays down alongside the boat on their trailer, not on deck. I'm thinking about removing my stanchions and lifelines just because. Anyone here at Bay Moorings Marina in Midland? That's where we'll be landing. Would be nice to know if any other listers are around. Would be great to have a brain to pick about anchorages and gotchas in the area.

Re: Stus-List Polyglow Removal
The Poli-glow folks have a remover, but from another lister, I learned that floor stripper works as well and is cheaper. We got Zep heavy duty floor stripper from Lowe's. You can dilute it like they do for floors. I don't think that wax will bring it back to the luster you would like. We went with more Poli-clow.

Stus-List C 33 mkii mast step revisited
Some years back, a fellow club member had a 1985 C 33 IIthe cavity under the mast step that is filled with high density foam got 'contaminated' and the smell was very unpleasant. We tried disinfecting with every obvious chemical but to no avail. The cavity had to be cleaned out and it was filled with West System resinno small job but a necessary one if you wanted to spend any time in the cabin. Rob Abbott AZURA C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

He did allot of rebuilding inside the boat, including the cavity under the step that is filled with high density foam. After 30+ years it breaks down and you can't get proper torque on the leading keel bolt. If you have the "smile" on the leading portion of the keel where it beds up against the fiberglass hull, I would guess that you no longer have the support under the mast step that you need, and tightening the keel bolt just starts to compress the step adding to the problem. This has been a common issue on several C models. I have a 35-3 that needed repair for that reason. Not an easy fix, but it can be done.

Re: Stus-List Trucking to Georgian Bay
Our boat was trucked from Racine, Wisconsin to Halifax, Nova Scotia in mid March 2006..the boat was not covered or protected in any way from the road debris.the mast was wrapped. The boat was very dirty when it arrived (daaa..mid March road salt & debris) but there was no damage to the white gelcoat .a good wash down and all looked fine. The suggestion of coating the hull with liquid soap.hmmmsounds like it might be fine.or could it attract and hold onto dirt that might normally be blown off? Don't knowno experience doing it. You still have to give the boat a good wash with it covered in soap. Rob Abbott AZURA C - 84 Halifax, N.S.

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I would welcome any more insight and look forward to Doug's 35iii photos, off-list as well. I will add to the discussion the following excerpt from an email reply from nick at Bristol marine, in response to my request for an estimate on re-bedding the keel and filling the smile: >snip However, based on our long experience repairing C's, in particular the 33 Mk II, 35 Mk III, & the 41, all of which have the ballast attached to the hull at the end of a very deep keel sump, there may be more serious structural issues involved, particularly if the boat has been aground at any point in its life. The key indicator of more serious issues are exterior stress cracks (sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle) at the radius where the fin meets the hull, particularly at the leading & trailing edges. Other signs of trouble are cracks or delamination where the interior structural grid meets the keel sump, delaminated tabbing at the bottom of the main bulkhead port & stb, or signs that the mast step is sagging. If in doubt, have an experienced surveyor familiar with these issues look at the boat. i.e. Bill Provis, 416-801-5527; Peter McGuire 416-809-2186; or Wallace Gouk 416-526-3845 >snip I also spent some more time learning how to search past posts and picked up a little more info, though one question not answered was: How do you get the foul smelling, deteriorating foam out of the crossmember?

Dave I'll ask my friend how it was done on his boatIt was back in 1991 and I simply don't remember. He had another issue he didn't know about when he bought the boat.the boat had a hard grounding and the hull had a 'horse shoe shaped' crack in front of the keel.He hired a contractor to do that repair and maybe it was the contractor that removed the contaminated foam..he may have had to cut it outI am reasonably sure the void was filled with resin.
