Re: Stus-List Boom Height - 1981 25 MKII

[bushmark4--- via CnC-List]

The issue on cockpit sheeting boats becomes the extent to which the dodger can 
effectively cover the companionway and cockpit seating; one way to get 
additional coverage would be to relocate the placement of the mainsheet where 
it attaches to the boom; this is usually a rivet or bolt on arrangement; by 
moving the attachment point a few inches (don;t go to extremes here) toward the 
end of the boom (aft) you do not alter the effectiveness of the sheeting but 
you can gain valuable room for the dodger;

Thanks for the reply. My main sheet attached to a traveler located near the 
companion way (not mid boom but not end boom either). If boom was high enough I 
could get a lot of cockpit covered.


I guess I'll have to wait and get the mast up to see how much height  I 
actually have


I did see on one of the canvas websites where a Seaward 24? had raised the end 
of the boom and had the foot of the sail recut. If I don't have the height I 
need that might be an option

Sandy,
I can’t tell you about a Mk2 but on my Mk1 (which has a slightly longer boom), 
my boat had  boom end sheeting which makes the “boom height” a somewhat 
relative thing.  The main sheet attached to a bail on the end of the boom on 
one end, and to a transom mounted curved traveler on the other. There were 
times I could stand up without worry and other times I’d need to duck when 
gybing  (I am 5’8”).  Generally I ducked… You can rig up a topping lift to 
control boom height, but when hard on the breeze, I’d like to pull the traveler 
up and keep the boom as close to the centerline as possible, and with the sail 
trimmed in tight, the boom didn’t give much clearance in the cockpit.
 
 With the boom at somewhere around 10+ feet in length, you won’t find much 
available real estate aft of the boom end for a bimini. Even if you could mount 
one off the transom, you’re not going to get much coverage from such a bimini 
given that with a tiller, you don’t sit in the aft part of the cockpit while 
underway.
 
Maybe when you’re at anchor, you can rig a boom tent apparatus to keep the sun 
off of you, but I don’t see such an arrangement working while sailing.

Hello All

 

New owner of a 1981 25 MKII. Stumbled across this group while doing my research.

 

As the season nears i've been rummaging through bags and bags of "stuff" that 
came with the boat, trying to acquaint myself with what I've got. It came with 
an old trashed dodger but no bimini.

 

One of our top priorities is a bimini as i am  fair skinned and turn the shade 
of a cooked lobster rather quickly when exposed to any kind of sun. Our local 
canvas maker said that based on his specs, we would only be able to use a 
bimini covering the area aft of the boom while sailing because of the height of 
the boom. A connector to the dodger could then be added while at anchor.

 

Can anyone tell me the height of the boom on this model? (We bought this boat 
at the end of the season last year and the mast was already down)

 

If indeed it is too low, has anyone raised the boom or shortened the leech to 
get the additional height for a bimini to be usable?

 

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

 

Sandy

Raising the goose neck is always an option.  A few $$ to recut the mainsail
and you'll have more headroom.

The boom on my 35-1 was raised a few inches by a previous owner.

Re: Stus-List A leak in the water system

[Paul E via CnC-List]

Hi,

I tried a few methods to repair water tanks, which failed miserably,  before 
trying hot air welding.  Plastic welding is best.  I have repaired the 2 tanks 
one of which had a creak over 2 ft long(water would gush out as soon as it was 
put in).  It has been nearly two years since the weld repair, and I have had no 
issues.  This includes a few 200 NM trips offshore beating into 6-8ft seas. 

I was able to borrow a hot air welder and purchased  package of 1/8" LDPE 
welding rods from Grainger Supply.

Here is a write up of my tank repair work a while back at:

Thanks Danny.  I've not really looked at motors yet but have seen the 
information on the Lehr propane models and was intrigued by their light weight, 
no need for gas/oil etc.  Can you share any more details on your experience 
with it?  How long have you had it?  Can you pull off the propane tank when its 
half empty and does that then allow you to stow it in a locker below or does it 
still have propane in the engine somewhere, lurking to escape into your bilge?
