No two blade prop will do very well in reverse although I would get a geared 
one so that you can be sure that it opened.
 
If you race, the lowest drag 2 blade demonstrated by tests in Yachting magazine 
was a Gori--which I have used for several years without problems.
 
It takes a few seconds running in reverse to start 'biting' and moving the boat 
but she will move the boat. Once the boat is moving, 
you start to get some flow over the rudder and can actually steer.

Just be sure you have reasonable room around the boat when you go to reverse.

In my case, I coast to almost a dead stop, put it in reverse and rev the engine 
to get her moving
in reverse and then steer her toward the slip with judicious use of low 
throttle in reverse or neutral. 

Without serious wind or tides, this method works for me--she only goes back 
into forward to stop her in the slip.
If something messes up this scheme, back to open water and repeat!

Maneuvering in close quarters between reverse and forward with several seconds 
delay is to be avoided with any folding prop IMHO.

My 1975 30-1,  Zia is up for a nice Christmas gift this year - a folding
prop.

Any recommendations for a good folder that will still give me decent
performance in forward and reverse?  I don't know the current two blade prop
specs but she is being pushed by a smooth running Atomic 4.

Thanks for any input - and happy holidays!

I had a Martec for our A4 powered boat and HATED it. For racing the low drag 
was nice, but that is the best thing I could say about it. Reverse was only a 
theory with that prop. It was dumpsterized about 18 years ago.

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

2015-12-22 Thread Bruno Lachance via CnC-List
My layout for club racing / cruising (C 33 mkII)
 
The boat came with double deck organizer, plenty of clutches and four winches 
at the pit (one Barient 21 ST, two 18, one 10)
 
Main, outaul, Cunningham, vang, first and second reef, jib and spin halyards 
and baby stay, are all led aft. 
 
BUT, i added a spinlock XTS on the mast for the main allowing me to easily 
hoist without messing with the lazyjacks and quickly hook the "reef bone" at 
the mast, tensioning the halyard and reef lines at pit afterward . I also added 
a Spinlock XAS (less tension) on the starboard side of the mast of spin halyard 
for a quick hoist and take down in light winds. I have the choice to leave the 
mast cluthes open to keep control of the halyards at the cockpit. Pole lift is 
at the mast too.
 
The lines aft allow me to easily and quickly adjust everything from the cockpit 
to tune the sails without having to run to the mast. i like this setup for 
racing and for cruising singlehanded.
 
Happy holidays everybody. Don't forget to wacht the Sydney Hobart start! :)

Mostly bear away sets. Jib halyard at mast, rarely used. Main Outhaul, Vang, &
first reef also led back to cockpit.

As someone mentioned, mostly we use spinnakers in fairly light

take it down!  So, having the halyard back at the cockpit allows someone less

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

2015-12-22 Thread Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List
For us the tide range is only 2 feet or so normally and the charts are all done 
for low tide, so as long as the depthfinder is > or = to the charted depth, 
things are good. If not, either I am lost or the chart is wrong. There are a 
couple of places near me where I am aground in what should be 8 feet of water.  
When Kent Narrows is too long between dredging I go through with 0.1 feet more 
than the reading I run aground at.

Yea but even with that we need to account for tides...the charts show depths at 
low tide, so I like my depth sounder to indicate actual depth from the water 
surface, and I usually use a positive offset of 2 feet which is as close as I 
measured with maybe a couple inches of comfort factor between the transducer 
and the water line when on the hard...no harm in your way and more comfort 
factor... it's only luck if the sounder gives the same depth as the charts 
because the charts show minimum depth over the contour region, there could be 
deeper spots within the contour area, that's good for us

Stus-List folding vs geared folding prop

2015-12-22 Thread Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List
Interesting discussion.  We have a Martec elliptical folding prop on a shaft on 
Persistence.  Our friends with the C "Prospector" have a geared folding 
prop on a saildrive.  When we arrived at in Cape Breton my friend Andy (owner 
of Prospector) wanted to move Persistence and he did it by coming in alongside 
a pier in fwd and then reversing to slow and stop.  I was amused to note that 
he did not put the boat in neutral or reverse until quite near to the dock and 
then when in reverse the boat kept going right past the dock.It was his 
first experience with a Martec folding prop.

Interestingly on their previous boat "Dry Red" a C 25-1 with OMC Saildrive 
and folding prop there was good reverse and also with Prospector with the 
geared prop there is great reverse.  With Persistence OTOH I prefer to come 
into the finger in reverse and use FWD to stop the boat when docked.  It takes 
quite a bit to get the boat moving in reverse but then it steer just fine as 
noted by others.

I have obtained a quote on a Flex-o-fold prop.  It might be quite some time 
before I spend that much though as it is not cheap and the Max prop is even 
more expensive ...

Jonathan,

I think Charlie meant to criticize two-bladed FOLDING propellers as having poor 
reverse power.  The Max prop isn't a folding prop, is it?

I have a two-bladed Martec and I get along just fine with it.  It takes a good 
shot of throttle to get some momentum in reverse, but then it backs up just 
fine.

Re: Stus-List Welcome to a great resource! [was "Lines led forward"]

2015-12-22 Thread Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List
Hello again Fred,

Kind words indeed and thank you. I did work for many years at Edson and the 
company as a whole has a wonderful philosophy towards service relations, 
probably because the company is comprised of enthusiasts that genuinely like 
their customers and share their passion towards boats .  

 

Several years ago I accepted a new position in product development and 
marketing for Novabraid ropes so if I can ever be helpful with running rigging 
questions or concerns, feel free to hit me up.  Regrettably, I don’t have the 
extensive data base available for C Yachts for running rigging as I did with 
Edson steering gear, but those resources are available on a variety of sites or 
can be gleaned from the rig dimensions.   I can certainly help with rope 
applications, whether from my product assortment or from the wide array of 
quality lines on the market today from a variety of manufacturers.

 

I’m lucky in that the boat I’m purchasing is for the most part, un-molested and 
stock.  This one is sort of a “barn find” that is just coming out of 
hibernation…  Let’s just see if that vintage Raytheon 1200 radar (looks like it 
came off the USS Missouri) or the Magellan Loran C (GPS compatible!) can earn 
their keep at the nav station!

 

So as all the systems come alive, (please let there be no critters, living or 
dead, inhabiting the storage areas..) there will be questions.   Never owning a 
boat with this much plumbing, hoses, wires, and switches,  I’m sure my name 
will crop up numerous times in the “Dazed and Confused” thread of this list and 
I thank you all for sharing your opinions and advice.  And I wish you all a 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Best regards,

 In fact, every customer-service related call I’ve made to Edson over the years 
(and I believe Chuck has been involved in more than one…) has been exceptional, 
and they’ve gone out of their way to support me, first on my 1981 30mkI and now

So Chuck, welcome; and I hope we can repay the favors.

Hi All,

I’m purchasing a Landfall 35 that has a brand new gennaker but no sock or

taken to keep lines clear.  Any recommendations?  Can one assume that the ATN 
or North products work equally well (or poorly)?   Most of the sailhandling

the post.  The main and jib halyards are run aft to the cockpit, but I believe 
the spin halyard stays up by the mast, something I may likely change.  The new 
boat is on the hard, mast down and there aren’t any winches on the mast (only 
on the boom for outhaul and reefing).  From the factory, this boat has two 
dedicated halyard winches and cleats (not clutches) on the coach roof with pass 
through holes in the cockpit coaming for the main and jib halyards, but not 
seeing anything obvious for the spin halyard.

Thanks in advance for any feedback from sock users…

My guess is that at 8 it is over pitched but 11.5 x 8 appears to be the

Gori prop size. I can get to about 6.2 kts into light weather, and can tow 
another 10,000 lb

The advantage of being over pitched is that during light motor sailing the 
Atomic 4 is just
above idle, quiet and smooth. 

I have no complaints, though I usually am under auxiliary only coming in and

If your usage included days of motoring into current and waves and as a cruiser 
you are
carrying more weight ( Windburn is pretty light for racing ) then I would be 
concerned about
the 8 pitch. When I spoke with a Gori rep at the Toronto boat show he mentioned 
they can
make the props at different pitches.

No two blade prop will do very well in reverse although I would get a geared 
one so that you can be sure that it opened. 

If you race, the lowest drag 2 blade demonstrated by tests in Yachting magazine 
was a Gori--which I have used for several years without problems. 

It takes a few seconds running in reverse to start 'biting' and moving the boat 
but she will move the boat. Once the boat is moving, 
you start to get some flow over the rudder and can actually steer. 

Just be sure you have reasonable room around the boat when you go to reverse. 

In my case, I coast to almost a dead stop, put it in reverse and rev the engine 
to get her moving 
in reverse and then steer her toward the slip with judicious use of low 
throttle in reverse or neutral. 

Without serious wind or tides, this method works for me--she only goes back

Subject: Stus-List Folding prop for 30-1 with A4

My 1975 30-1,  Zia is up for a nice Christmas gift this year - a folding
prop.  

Any recommendations for a good folder that will still give me decent
performance in forward and reverse?  I don't know the current two blade prop
specs but she is being pushed by a smooth running Atomic 4.

Thanks for any input - and happy holidays!

Never had an issue with my Martec.  Guess I just don't know any different.

Stus-List Folding props

2015-12-22 Thread Charlie Nelson via CnC-List

I was not referring to feathering props. As I understand them, they are 
designed to be about equal in forward or reverse.
My former Max-Prop 3 blade feathering prop was excellent and relatively quickly 
got the boat going in reverse.
 
Any geared folding 2-blade prop will get a boat moving in reverse--just not 
very efficiently--especially if it is optimized for forward motion
and minimum drag when folded.
 
The time it takes between putting her into reverse and actually moving backward 
with flow over the rudder is what can take several seconds with a folder..
 
If other things are happening nearby (current, wind, pilings, etc.), these few 
seconds can seem like a very long time!.

Next up on my winter project list: reinforcing the anchor locker lid
attachment.

C's are made really well for the most part, but I had a "what were they
thinking???" moment this weekend. I was investigating the anchor 
locker lid

hinge (which is screwed into a recessed area of the deck) because several
screws have pulled out and there are rust stains. The surprise was it 
looks

like the 15-20 screws for the hinge went into wood coring. Screws in wood
core, in the wettest part of the boat! (the foredeck takes the most 
waves,

and when at dock it's always humid from rain)

Pictures:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxfHpwssU_6NQThGM1AzTmxabU0=sharing

Has anyone else redone their anchor locker hinge? Can you confirm 
that it's

cored, or am I on the crazy pills?

The reason I suspected core in the first place is that the lid hinge is
about 1" outside of the deck area where all fiberglass was used along the
toe rail. Tap testing / sounding doesn't reveal any significant
differences, so I think the issue is very contained, surprisingly. It 
seems
like if they had made the anchor locker an inch or so wider, they 
wouldn't
have had to screw in to coring - but maybe the fiberglass layer isn't 
thick
enough to fit the screws. Anyway, I'm thinking ream out some core 
from each

hole, dry it out for 3-7 days (which may not be doable till the summer),
fill with thickened epoxy and redrill.

To those who aren’t aware, I believe Chuck worked at Edson in years past; and 
been a great resource for technically-related steering issues on our old boats. 
 In fact, every customer-service related call I’ve made to Edson over the years 
(and I believe Chuck has been involved in more than one…) has been exceptional, 
and they’ve gone out of their way to support me, first on my 1981 30mkI and now

Re: Stus-List Folding prop for 30-1 with A4

2015-12-22 Thread Jake Brodersen via CnC-List
Jonathan,

I think Charlie meant to criticize two-bladed FOLDING propellers as having
poor reverse power.  The Max prop isn't a folding prop, is it?

I have a two-bladed Martec and I get along just fine with it.  It takes a
good shot of throttle to get some momentum in reverse, but then it backs up
just fine.

Have to disagree with this statement. My 35-III with a two blade Max-prop
goes very well in reverse. In fact in tight situations I often prefer to
extract myself in reverse!

Back in the mid 70’s I was crewing on a C 39.  The local rock star sailmaker 
was onboard for an event on Lake Washington related to Seattle Yacht Club’s 
Opening Day parade.  A few adult beverages may have been consumed in the 
process of crossing the lake to join a party at another competitor’s lake front 
home.

When it was pointed out to the rock star he was pointing the 39’s bow into a 
covered slip, he quickly hit reverse (A4 engine, Martec folding prop) and added 
throttle.  With the standard delay in actually retarding the vessel’s forward 
motion the 39’s forestay (Stearn’s twin stay IIRC) made a noticeable twanging 
sound as it hit the metal roof over the slip.

It was hard to find the rock star at the party that afternoon.  Years later 
that rock star became Calypso’s insurance agent.  I don’t think he ever forgot 
how long it takes to reverse direction with a folding prop.

I was not referring to feathering props. As I understand them, they are 
designed to be about equal in forward or reverse.
My former Max-Prop 3 blade feathering prop was excellent and relatively quickly 
got the boat going in reverse.

Any geared folding 2-blade prop will get a boat moving in reverse--just not 
very efficiently--especially if it is optimized for forward motion
and minimum drag when folded.

The time it takes between putting her into reverse and actually moving backward 
with flow over the rudder is what can take several seconds with a folder..

If other things are happening nearby (current, wind, pilings, etc.), these few 
seconds can seem like a very long time!.

I have an ATN sock on Calypso and have used other ATN socks on offshore 
deliveries of two other boats at 46’ and 55’.  I have not used a North Sails 
spinnaker sock.

The ATN has a feature to help reduce control line tangling.  The control lines 
run through a different color fabric sleeve.  On Calypso’s ATN sock, the 
control line sleeve is grey, the rest of the sock white.

When hoisting, I make sure all the grey colored fabric is facing in, top to 
bottom.  This practice has almost always worked to prevent the control lines 
from either being twisted or set to the outside, away from the deck.  When I 
pack the sail/sock combo into its bag, I follow the grey color fabric just like 
following a spinnaker’s luff tape.  I leave the head draped over the bag’s 
opening until the collar, clews, and control line has been neatly stacked at 
the top of the bag.

After a hoist, I tie the control lines to a cleat near the base of the mast.  
When gybing I move the control line forward and temporarily tie it to the bow 
pulpit, forward of the forestay.  After the gybe is complete I move the line 
back to the mast base on the leeward side, ready for a dowse should one be 
called for.

One of the tangling while hoisting issues I have experienced +-50% of the time 
is a bunching of the sail material making it difficult to raise the collar.  
Calypso’s symmetrical spinnaker is full size with broad shoulders.  If, during 
the prior take down the sail material was not uniformly distributed as the sock 
was lowered the material bunches 2/3rds the way down.

To reduce the hassle factor of this bunching (I may have referred to this as 
Calypso’s panties have gotten into a bunch) once the sail/sock is at full hoist 
and the cockpit crew is ready for the sail to be released I pull handfuls of 
sail material down out of the collar as the crew gently pulls back on the sheet 
(the guy is pre-fed into position).  By pulling down on the material it clears 
the bunched up sail and the collar rises quickly.

Hi All,
I’m purchasing a Landfall 35 that has a brand new gennaker but no sock or

the post.  The main and jib halyards are run aft to the cockpit, but I believe 
the spin halyard stays up by the mast, something I may likely change.  The new 
boat is on the hard, mast down and there aren’t any winches on the mast (only 
on the boom for outhaul and reefing).  From the factory, this boat has two 
dedicated halyard winches and cleats (not clutches) on the coach roof with pass 
through holes in the cockpit coaming for the main and jib halyards, but not 
seeing anything obvious for the spin halyard.
Thanks in advance for any feedback from sock users…

Re: Stus-List Folding prop for 30-1 with A4

2015-12-22 Thread jtsails via CnC-List

Joe,
there is a ton of discussion about props for direct drive A-4s on the Moyer 
forum. The prevailing opinion seeming to be that it is important to select a 
prop that will allow the engine to develop enough rpms to get into the heart 
of it's powerband. A-4s output very little power below 2000 rpms so you need 
a prop that will allow you to get above that. The most popular prop these 
days seems to be the indigo 3-blade fixed. I will say that the Gori 8 inch 
folding sounds like a great option, but I would go to a 7 pitch. The A-4 is 
a very robust design and will happily run at higher rpms with no problems 
for years! I personally run mine at 2800 rpms turning a 16-10 two blade 
(fixed) with a 2:1 reduction.

My 1975 30-1,  Zia is up for a nice Christmas gift this year - a folding

Any recommendations for a good folder that will still give me decent

Thanks for any input - and happy holidays!

Re: Stus-List Folding props

2015-12-22 Thread Syerdave--- via CnC-List
Great story!   
When I bought windstar (33ii) she had the original very worn folding 
(non-geared) Martec.A series of vibrational mis-diagnoses let me through a 
brand new (2014) gori folding and a slightly too-large fixed two blade.The 
Martec was awful in reverse, attributed (by Martec) to wear.   The difference 
between the new gori and the fixed two blade is effectively indiscernible under 
power incl. in reverse, but the folding prop rules under sail in light air.
That said, I rarely parallel park in an 8 kt current.   The gori is a work of 
art in bronze.   
I had been told that three blade fixed was the only way to get decent 
reverse  Experts
Props are a funny subject.   There are strong opinions, but realistically, (and 
understandably) there is very little solid comparative data available for a 
given model of prop with a given boat.
Anyway, the point of all this is to say that I think slippery boats really 
benefit from good folding or feathering props esp in light air, and I think 
that modern geared folding props are much better than those of the past, 
limiting the relevance of stories of past misadventures.

Re: Stus-List hot water heater

2015-12-22 Thread Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List
Mike,

 

Different boat etc., but…

 

You want to have the heater as close to the engine as possible. I assume that 
the heater will be heated with the engine coolant (and possibly with 
shorepower). The difficult plumbing is from the engine to the water heater and 
back. And you want to limit the amount of extra coolant that you need (i.e. the 
length of the hoses).

 

Plumbing to the head is usually much easier, because you just run a flexible 
pipe (PEX?) and that can go just about anywhere.

 

Also to consider is how you are going to deal with the water coming out of the 
shower (sump, pump, drain to the bilge etc.).

 

Good luck

Next up on my winter project list: reinforcing the anchor locker lid 
attachment. 
C's are made really well for the most part, but I had a "what were they 
thinking???" moment this weekend. I was investigating the anchor locker lid 
hinge (which is screwed into a recessed area of the deck) because several 
screws have pulled out and there are rust stains. The surprise was it looks 
like the 15-20 screws for the hinge went into wood coring. Screws in wood core, 
in the wettest part of the boat! (the foredeck takes the most waves, and when 
at dock it's always humid from rain)
Pictures: 
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxfHpwssU_6NQThGM1AzTmxabU0=sharing

Has anyone else redone their anchor locker hinge? Can you confirm that it's 
cored, or am I on the crazy pills?  
The reason I suspected core in the first place is that the lid hinge is about 
1" outside of the deck area where all fiberglass was used along the toe rail. 
Tap testing / sounding doesn't reveal any significant differences, so I think 
the issue is very contained, surprisingly. It seems like if they had made the 
anchor locker an inch or so wider, they wouldn't have had to screw in to coring 
- but maybe the fiberglass layer isn't thick enough to fit the screws. Anyway, 
I'm thinking ream out some core from each hole, dry it out for 3-7 days (which 
may not be doable till the summer), fill with thickened epoxy and redrill.

Mike,

Welcome to the list. You will love the C 34 better under sail.

The hot water heater on my 34 is at the forward end of the cockpit locker
to the right of the engine just as you suggest. I am guessing it was
original equipment. Cannot begin to help on how to plumb to the head/shower.

Have to disagree with this statement. My 35-III with a two blade Max-prop goes 
very well in reverse. In fact in tight situations I often prefer to extract

Joe,

Aren't most charts in MLLW?  That's even lower than low tide.  IIRC it is
the average of the LOWEST tides for the last number of years.  So even more
to your point, "As long as the depthfinder is > or = to the charted depth,
things are good. If not, either I am lost or the chart is wrong."

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

2015-12-22 Thread Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List
Hi All,

I’m purchasing a Landfall 35 that has a brand new gennaker but no sock or 
snuffer.  From several forum posts, I’m reading that using a sock can be a bit 
challenging and can easily foul midway through the hoist or douse if care isn’t 
taken to keep lines clear.  Any recommendations?  Can one assume that the ATN 
or North products work equally well (or poorly)?   Most of the sailhandling 
with be done double handed with the help of my teenage son, thus the reason for 
the post.  The main and jib halyards are run aft to the cockpit, but I believe 
the spin halyard stays up by the mast, something I may likely change.  The new 
boat is on the hard, mast down and there aren’t any winches on the mast (only 
on the boom for outhaul and reefing).  From the factory, this boat has two 
dedicated halyard winches and cleats (not clutches) on the coach roof with pass 
through holes in the cockpit coaming for the main and jib halyards, but not 
seeing anything obvious for the spin halyard.

Thanks in advance for any feedback from sock users…

My spin halyards are led from the exit boxes up high on the mast, then through 
a clutch and down to a block at the base of the mast and to the winch on either 
side of the mast. I have three winches at the mast base; one dedicated for the 
main halyard and one for the spin or jib on each side. Clutches are my friend.

I like the spin halyard arrangement. I can hoist the asym in the sock and make 
sure it goes up clean and when it's time to douse, I can ease it down straight 
into the bag.

I mostly cruise, but this works well for racing, too.

On Calypso and our last boat (a C 36) we had the spin halyard forward so 1 
person is able to hoist/dowse with the spin sock.

 

Calypso’s full size spin, even in a ATN sock is a hand full in TWS above 15.  
Both hoisting and dropping, in the sock, is easier on a run.  Avoid either on a 
reach.  Early in our double-handed racing I got a bit too fancy with my leeward 
mark rounding tactics and was nearly dragged off the foredeck by the sock’s 
windage.

 

Back when we had the 36, the cruising A-sym in a sock was easy to handle in any 
conditions that a spinnaker would be needed.  Having the halyard forward 
allowed me to hold it in one hand and use the other to wrangle the sock onto 
the foredeck.  Both the ATN sock(s) and the cuff that goes over a rolled up 
headsail for the A-sym tack have worked well.  For Calypso I wish there had 
been a carbon fiber hoop option back in 1999 when we purchased our sock.  The 
large size fiberglass version is a bit heavy.  Maybe after I finish Calypso’s 
deck rebuild I will fabricate a carbon hoop at home.

These observations bring me back to the realities of halyard/reef management 
with lines led aft versus forward.

 

“Forward” on larger boats generally means winches mounted on the mast in-line 
with the halyards with appropriate line-stoppers. With this configuration, and 
suitable bracing, reefing the main in rough weather is pretty “safe” and in my 
experience faster and more efficient.

 

I’m afraid that my 37’ just doesn’t quite make the grade in terms of a 
larger,more stable boat, much that I might wish otherwise. And what I am trying 
to achieve is less clutter in the cockpit which is at odds with safety 
considerations. I have no intention nor do I think if would be very feasible to 
mount winches on my mast. This leaves me with the prospect of moving the 
mechanical advantage away from the mast to a position in the middle of the 
boat. That modification right away eliminates the ability for one person to 
quickly pull in a reef from a single location.

 

With that in mind, it may devolve down to moving the both the jib halyards 
forward. I don’t race this boat nor will I ever and after the

I think keeping spinnaker halyards by the mast is a good idea from many 
different viewpoints.  When using the spinnaker usually you are in light air 
anyway and safety is not a concern.

I went for 6 clutches to 9 on the cabin top - 2 jib halyards, 2 spin
halyards, main halyard, 1 reef line, cunningham, outhaul and topping lift.

I stacked the two original line organizers and found a 4 sheave organizer
that fit the original holes.

I use these to keep things organized on the bulkhead:

I also have about 10 of them in the lazarette for spin sheets, etc.

As I said before, I have cam cleats for the spin halyards on the mast.

I like staying in the cockpit!

Re: Stus-List Route Planning and Uploading to Chart Plotter

2015-12-22 Thread allen via CnC-List
My old laptop died and I've replaced it with a refurbished  Panasonic 
Toughbook.  Nice upgrade for cheap. Windows 7 with upgrade to 10 option

Next issue, what software to install.  For the past 20 years I've used CAPN for 
route planning and then just connected my laptop into the onboard GPS for 
cruising.

Now I've upgraded to Raymarine E units on the pedestal and in the nav station.  
Both are equipped with Navionics cards.

I want to be able to construct routes here at home and upload them onto my E 
units.  I will take my Toughbook with its GPS dongle along, but that's for 
backup.

Seems like I have three options:
  1.. Reinstall latest and greatest version of CAPN 
  2.. Install Raymarine Voyager 
  3.. Install Navionics PC App
I sense the technology moving away from large systems like CAPN toward mobile 
devices.  What's the best route looking forward or am I looking at a tech war 
in progress with no clear winner in sight?

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

2015-12-22 Thread dwight veinot via CnC-List
Yea but even with that we need to account for tides...the charts show
depths at low tide, so I like my depth sounder to indicate actual depth
from the water surface, and I usually use a positive offset of 2 feet which
is as close as I measured with maybe a couple inches of comfort factor
between the transducer and the water line when on the hard...no harm in
your way and more comfort factor... it's only luck if the sounder gives the
same depth as the charts because the charts show minimum depth over the
contour region, there could be deeper spots within the contour area, that's
good for us

Re: Stus-List Route Planning and Uploading to Chart Plotter

2015-12-22 Thread Joel Aronson via CnC-List
Allen,

Being the cheap SOB that I am, I run OpenCPN on my laptop, but I have never
tried to transfer routes to my e7.  I also use the free Ray charts on the
e7 rather than the Navionics charts.

Voyager does not look like it runs independent of the plotter - for that
you would need RNS Navigation software.

Let me know which solution you go with.

MY layout – 

SB, Spinnaker and Jib halyard on mast, Main and Cunningham led back to clutches.

Port, Spinnaker led back to clutch, also a cam cleat on mast. Mostly bear away 
sets. Jib halyard at mast, rarely used. Main Outhaul, Vang, & first reef also 
led back to cockpit.

As someone mentioned, mostly we use spinnakers in fairly light air – and, at 
least in my experience, it is blowing like snot when you want to take it down!  
So, having the halyard back at the cockpit allows someone less talented to 
handle the drop.

These observations bring me back to the realities of halyard/reef management 
with lines led aft versus forward.

 

“Forward” on larger boats generally means winches mounted on the mast in-line 
with the halyards with appropriate line-stoppers. With this configuration, and 
suitable bracing, reefing the main in rough weather is pretty “safe” and in my 
experience faster and more efficient.

 

I’m afraid that my 37’ just doesn’t quite make the grade in terms of a 
larger,more stable boat, much that I might wish otherwise. And what I am trying 
to achieve is less clutter in the cockpit which is at odds with safety 
considerations. I have no intention nor do I think if would be very feasible to 
mount winches on my mast. This leaves me with the prospect of moving the 
mechanical advantage away from the mast to a position in the middle of the 
boat. That modification right away eliminates the ability for one person to 
quickly pull in a reef from a single location.

 

With that in mind, it may devolve down to moving the both the jib halyards 
forward. I don’t race this boat nor will I ever and after the furling jib is 
hoisted the 1st jib halyard is rarely touched unless there is a pressing need 
to adjust luff tension. The 2nd jib halyard remains dormant for the season and 
is reserved for emergency duties. Inside/outside peels are thing of the past…

 

Right now a quick analysis leads to keeping the main halyard, 1st and 2nd 
reefing lines led aft to the cockpit. One winch for the main halyard and one 
for the mainsheet which will reduce the winch farm from four to two. Reefing 
lines led to the “unloaded” main halyard winch after the main has been placed 
in the tack horn and secured by one of several line stoppers.

 

The question next is what to do about the spinnaker halyard. I can probably 
make a case for it being forward in some configuration given that my wife and I 
will be using a cruising A-sym with a sock and that would only be in lightish 
air. The symmetrical has been retired and most likely the spinnaker pole will 
continue to reside in the rafters of my shed.

 

Much as I keep thinking about moving back to winch farms on the deck, that is 
an artifact from the old IOR/Tonner days with lot’s of young agile crew.

 

I dunno, clearly it’s still a moving target for me. More crumpled up pieces of 
paper with deck layout designs in the trash can.

Calypso still has the halyards and reefing lines forward.  The spinnaker pole 
downhaul (foreguy) runs aft, the pole topping lift can be led forward or aft

Calypso, being a very early IOR design with lots of displacement has a 
seakindly nature in most sailing conditions making it relatively secure to reef 
from the mast.  If the boat was smaller and/or lighter the security of being 
able to reef from the cockpit would begin to look good.

I still use the original Barient #1 wire halyard winch for the mainsail so I do 
not have to deal with long lines or tailing. Use of the wire winch is made 
easier with Harken Batt cars and full battens and decades of practice.  As 
mentioned by others, someone needs to be by the mast to hook the reef cringle 
into the reef  tack horn.  With the halyard, tack horn, and reefing lines all 
within a few feet of each other single handed reefing is straight forward and 
fast.  Most of the time I can go from no reef to first reef <2 minutes, but 2nd 
reef to 3rd takes longer.

When sailing double handed I keep the spinnaker pole topping lift up forward so 
I am able to preset the foreguy and topping lift to their marks allowing for 
them to be self-tending during a dip pole gybe.  Once I have the new guy in the 
pole jaws I quickly raise the topping lift to allow the helmsman/trimmer to 
complete pulling the pole aft.  I leave the foreguy set to a height that will 
not cause drama and allow the pole to get close to a proper angle.

Re: Stus-List Folding prop for 30-1 with A4

2015-12-22 Thread Michael Brown via CnC-List
I have a Gori 2 blade 11.5 x 8 on Windburn, a 77 30-1 with an Atomic 4 ( 
Stevedore ).
My guess is that at 8 it is over pitched but 11.5 x 8 appears to be the 
smallest standard
Gori prop size. I can get to about 6.2 kts into light weather, and can tow 
another 10,000 lb
boat into waves at 5 kts. Reverse is fine though full power at a standstill can 
invoke a lot
of prop walk.

The advantage of being over pitched is that during light motor sailing the 
Atomic 4 is just
above idle, quiet and smooth. 

I have no complaints, though I usually am under auxiliary only coming in and 
out of the club.
If your usage included days of motoring into current and waves and as a cruiser 
you are
carrying more weight ( Windburn is pretty light for racing ) then I would be 
concerned about
the 8 pitch. When I spoke with a Gori rep at the Toronto boat show he mentioned 
they can
make the props at different pitches.

No two blade prop will do very well in reverse although I would get a geared 
one so that you can be sure that it opened. 
  
If you race, the lowest drag 2 blade demonstrated by tests in Yachting magazine 
was a Gori--which I have used for several years without problems. 
  
It takes a few seconds running in reverse to start 'biting' and moving the boat 
but she will move the boat. Once the boat is moving,  
you start to get some flow over the rudder and can actually steer. 
 
Just be sure you have reasonable room around the boat when you go to reverse. 
 
In my case, I coast to almost a dead stop, put it in reverse and rev the engine 
to get her moving 
in reverse and then steer her toward the slip with judicious use of low 
throttle in reverse or neutral.  
 
Without serious wind or tides, this method works for me--she only goes back 
into forward to stop her in the slip. 
If something messes up this scheme, back to open water and repeat! 
 
Maneuvering in close quarters between reverse and forward with several seconds 
delay is to be avoided with any folding prop IMHO.

We like to keep our Pit person busy!  Note that this is almost identical to the

a Spinlock XAS (less tension) on the starboard side of the mast of spin halyard

The lines aft allow me to easily and quickly adjust everything from the cockpit

2015-12-22 Thread Patrick Davin via CnC-List
Next up on my winter project list: reinforcing the anchor locker lid
attachment.

C's are made really well for the most part, but I had a "what were they
thinking???" moment this weekend. I was investigating the anchor locker lid
hinge (which is screwed into a recessed area of the deck) because several
screws have pulled out and there are rust stains. The surprise was it looks
like the 15-20 screws for the hinge went into wood coring. Screws in wood
core, in the wettest part of the boat! (the foredeck takes the most waves,
and when at dock it's always humid from rain)

Has anyone else redone their anchor locker hinge? Can you confirm that it's
cored, or am I on the crazy pills?

The reason I suspected core in the first place is that the lid hinge is
about 1" outside of the deck area where all fiberglass was used along the
toe rail. Tap testing / sounding doesn't reveal any significant
differences, so I think the issue is very contained, surprisingly. It seems
like if they had made the anchor locker an inch or so wider, they wouldn't
have had to screw in to coring - but maybe the fiberglass layer isn't thick
enough to fit the screws. Anyway, I'm thinking ream out some core from each
hole, dry it out for 3-7 days (which may not be doable till the summer),
fill with thickened epoxy and redrill.

Stus-List Anchor locker hinge attachment

Patrickwhen I purchased Alegria in 2006 the survey mentioned wetness in the 
anchor locker and cockpit seat hinges.  I replaced the anchor locker hinges 
with suncor ss hinges thru bolted and beded with butyl tape.  No more leaks.  
To dry them out I brought them home, drilled out the holes, and left them in 
the closing with the furnace...warm, dry, and ventelated. Spencer Johnson84 LF
