Re: Stus-List Man Crosses Atlantic on a Paddle Board

[RANDY via CnC-List]

Awesome Bill! You and I and the other guy in your marina may have the only C 
in US Sailing's Area F. I'm up in Colorado with C 30 MK I hull #7. Pretty 
sure I've got the only C in all of Colorado. Bought her about a year ago and 
did many of those same new-owner updates. Now I'm into heavier projects like 
rebuilding mast step supports etc. Welcome! 

Cheers,

Made me think of Eddie Aikau. 'Would Eddie Go...?" Maybe not across the 
Atlantic even for him. 

Back on topic.. I'm close to wrapping up a minor new-owner update and cleaning 
of our recently purchased 25MKII. All that is left is an Interlux sprayed on 
bootstripe, buff and wax of the smooth area of the topsides, running rig 
install, clean all the sails, lube the Edson steerage, and splash her. 
Hopefully the saildrive, #1 doesn't leak, #2 it runs, and #3 runs well. 

One of our headsails is a storm jib, a tiny little thing for sure. Another can 
be reefed, the others are 115 and 150. And two mains. 

Finally, in a marina of hundreds of sailboats, there is only one other C, 
then ours in two weeks. They are very rare here in Texas.

Re: Stus-List C 25 II

[bushmark4--- via CnC-List]

 

 Bill, you are going to love the 25; it is a stiff boat that will dig in and 
accelerate on a breeze; it as a "big boat" feel to it; it can carry a lot of 
sail in heavy winds, you just have to learn the art of "feathering"...
I bought a 25 II that came from Lake Travis many years ago and brought it back 
to Kentucky; it is still here, being sailed as a teaching boat by the local 
sailing program...

Stus-List Planning a transpacific sail with a C 110

[Ted Drossos via CnC-List]

Bruce, you might try contacting Dirk Husselman who raced his 2000 C named 
Xpression in the 2011 Farallones Race and the 2013 LongPac Race singlehanded. 
Dirk posted some videos of those races on Youtube.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWAPWQSnUs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14dJT6Sfl5o



Also try contacting Michael Schum who raced his C named Kontradiction in 
the bi-annual Bermuda One-Two Race. There is a good article in Scuttlebut about 
one of those races. Unfortunately, Michael lost his rig during the last race.


http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2013/09/18/rescue-sea-personal-account-overcoming-obstacles/


These were not transpacific runs but their experiences should be able to give 
you a good first hand perspective of the boat's capabilities. I believe that 
Dirk lives in Berkley California and Michael is in the Pennsylvania. Dirk 
occasionally posts on the C Owners forum at Sailingnetworks.com

Re: Stus-List Recharging a battery

[Steve Thomas via CnC-List]

You probably should have mentioned that to use the high voltage method of 
attempted recovery safely, it is necessary to use some sort of current limiting 
device. I am guessing that your variable supply had that built in, but not all 
do. 

In the early days of radio, some amateurs would use electrolytic rectifiers 
made from a strip of sheet aluminum and the carbon rod from a #6 dry cell 
immersed in a bath of baking soda. The rectifier thus constructed was hooked up 
directly to the 110 volt ac with a light bulb in series as a current limiter 
and used to charge batteries. Not exactly CSA/UL approved, and "extremely 
disagreeable" to have around, according to contemporary accounts.

I have used a variable power supply to recover a new but flat AGM. They were

uncharged for about 3 years. It required around 30v to get a 0.05 amp charge
started, which gradually became 0.1 amps at around 20v after a couple of days.
Out of three dead AGM two have recovered and I was able to run a discharge /
normal charge test on them. The other AGM only recovered to 10.4v after sitting
idle, one cell never charged.

Has anyone tried the baking soda/epson salt method to recharge a dead battery?
