Re: Stus-List Removing Old Butyl Tape

[RANDY via CnC-List]

You were so right Joe. The stuff is a miracle solvent. I happened to already 
have some at my house when you suggested this back on March 23rd. It together 
with a razor scraper has worked wonders removing old butyl, duct tape residue, 
and various other kinds of adhesive. Thanks for the tip. 

Cheers, 
Randy

Stus-List Winch Handle Pockets

[RANDY via CnC-List]

When I bought Grenadine she had two Ronstan winch handle pockets - the kind 
with a velcro panel that sticks onto the boat with adhesive, then the pocket 
itself velcros to that panel. 

The other day I caught my shoe on the one in the cockpit, and pulled off the 
pocket, velcro panel and all (the adhesive failed). I contacted the company and 
they don't sell replacement panels, and the customer service rep didn't know 
what kind of adhesive was on it. 

Anybody have a favorite winch handle pocket? Or could recommend an adhesive for 
re-glueing the velcro panel in the cockpit? 

Cheers, 
Randy

Re: Stus-List Sail advice for C&Cs in general

[Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List]

Just my $.02 worth, and for a different C&C...  We had a C&C 27 MKIII (which is 
the taller rig) on Lake Michigan for 16 great years.  The boat came with a 100 
and a 150.  We cruise, rather than race, but I always liked tweaking for speed. 
 So, for summer sailing on Lake Michigan where decent sailing ran when the 
winds are between 9 - 15 kts and 12 is ideal, it was really easy to overpower 
the boat with the 150.  And, I really felt the loss of pointing ability.  The 
100 pointed better, but the closer the wind got to 9, I really felt the boat 
slow down.  

I had a 120 made, and loved it.  I rarely felt like the 150 would have gotten 
me going much faster, the boat still pointed well, and I pretty consistently 
sailed at 6.4 knots and on a good day could maintain sustained 6.9 - 7.1 on a 
beam reach (apparent).  

Those were hanked on sails, so rolling it up wasn't an option.  We did, however 
keep the jib hanked on in a long bag hanging on the lifelines on the bow for 
quick deployment.

Once I put the 120 on, I never looked back, and never changed the sails again.
Just my (albeit lazy) approach.
Kindest Regards, 

Bruce Whitmore

Re: Stus-List Sail advice for C&Cs in general

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

What needs to be considered in this discussion of best sails for pointing, vmg, 
etc., is where and why you are sailing.


1. In light summer airs in shore within the rivers and sounds of the NC coast, 
you may outpoint a 12 meter with a 90% headsail--but good luck even approaching 
your 'hull speed'. Even if you are 'cruising', (not racing) when the winds stay 
below 10 knots and the temps are in the 90s, you might appreciate the 'breeze' 
provided by getting the boat to move in any direction--never mind the hassle of 
tacking such a large beast.


2. OTOH, if I did a lot of single-handed sailing or mostly cruised, I'd 
probably leave it ashore. Similarly if I was sailing off-shore.


Within reason, I want my sails to match the conditions I sail in, whether I 
race or cruise and whether I have a bunch of crew or single hand my boat.


FWIW,

Speed isn't the only thing that matters.  Compare your VMG with two different 
size sails.  Even if you were to sail slower with a smaller sail, but point 
higher, you could get around the course faster with a better handicap.  You can 
sail with jib alone, but with much less power.  When you tack with jib alone, 
the wind tends to cause you to tack past your intended course, until you have 
enough speed to come back to your course.  My main has a large roach, and in 
light air, the upper batten catches on the backstay.  When that happens, I have 
to let the traveler go, ease the mainsheet or ease the halyard, until the 
batten frees itself.

Stus-List Sail advice for 35

[robert via CnC-List]

Boat with a full suite of sailsI started with a North tri-radial 
150% dacron headsail and a main sail.  I sail solely a lot and use 
mainly the headsail .around here, summer winds in the outer harbor 
can be in the +15 mph range...found the 150% too much sail much/most of 
the time, switched to a cross cut 135% dacron.must better sail, less 
heal, more comfortable tacking/trimming, and almost as fastI like 
the Doyle 135%.and I have a Sobstad 100% that I use mainly in the 
Spring and Fall when the winds are consistently +15 mphthe 100% is 
beginning to be my preferred head sail, especially if I am using my main 
sail.


I can furl my 135% down to 100% but I don't like doing it when sailing 
to weatherI'd rather have my flat 100%off wind furled isn't so bad.


So, I am favoring my 100% over the larger head sails.however, I am 
just pleasure sailing, not trying to go as fast as possible all the time.


Launched last Mondaymight get the mast stepped this weekwill it 
be the 100% or 135% that he chooses first?

Re: Stus-List Sail advice for C&Cs in general

[bushmark4--- via CnC-List]

Alan, I am glad to hear you do well with the 105; I have always heard that our 
boats get their power from the headsail, and was thus reluctant to go below a 
130; however, if I understand your experience, you do as well with a smaller 
headsail as with a larger one.I notice most, if not all of the newer 
designs have very large mains with oversize roach area...have you had to do 
anything to the main?
Another area I have wondered about is if he boat could be sailed with the 
headsail only?  Would you be able to develop enough power, and able to steer 
the boat easily with a small headsail?

 thanks

When I first got my boat, I raced with a 155.  It kept back-winding the main, 
so I tried using a 135  with better results.  I gained six seconds in handicap, 
and there was no noticeable reduction in speed.  Then I tried racing with a 
105.  I gained another three seconds; I sail just as fast, and I point five

get to the windward mark sooner than the rest of the fleet.  The crew can tack 
faster, and in light air, the sail won't flap around like larger sails will.

Re: Stus-List 37/40+ What does small switch on ceiling do?

I believe I have said switch and it controls two neon lights under the
ceiling panels.  The panels are held in place with velcro.

I use a 135 cut a little higher off the deck for some added visibility.  
It works in many different conditions and I can furl it down to about 90 
percent if really needed.

Stus-List Sail advice for 35

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

My furling genoa is barely useable for going downwind at this point, so I think 
I need another one. Has anyone ever gone small for the genoa? Instead of 
140-150%, I am thinking of going 120-130. I have a chute for light air off the 
wind. I really hate not having good sail shape to get upwind on a windy day, 
after all that is C&Cs should be good at!
I also have 2 170s, one light Dacron and one Mylar I can rig if I really want 
to, but it is very rare I get inspired to get the furling drum off. Those two 
are deck sweepers and have to tack to the stem fitting. They should probably go 
to an active racer if anyone still races with the 170 rating.

Re: Stus-List 37/40+ What does small switch on ceiling do?

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Yep, I almost bought a windex light and then realized that the tricolor
already lit it up great. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you
decided to use the bow and stern lights for sailing, the tricolor has to be
off and then you can't see the windex. Its rare when I find myself in this
situation but it does happen.  Sometimes close to shore it is desired to
make the nav lights more visible by using the ones closer to the water.

Re: Stus-List 37/40+ What does small switch on ceiling do?

[Ron Ricci via CnC-List]

Fellow 37/40+ owners,

I feel left out!  Patriot has no such switch.  I have a combo
steaming/foredeck light, Windex and anchor light on the mast.  All are
controlled by breakers on my DC panel.

This year, I'm replacing my anchor light with a combination tri-color/anchor
light and eliminating the Windex light.  The existing switch for the Windex
will be used for the tri-color, expecting that the aft white portion of the
tri-color will illuminate the Windex.

I'm guessing Josh or one of you other brilliant folks with 37/40+ C&Cs will
be able to guide me.  There is a small switch above the table near the
forward bulkhead.  I can't seem to figure out what it does.  Presumably it

Stus-List 34 Mainsail

[Bill McNamara via CnC-List]

Hello,
 Have just re-joinrd the list after several years away.
 We have a 1978 34' and are starting a search for a good used cruising main.
 Wondering if any of you might have a suitable candidate (E= 10'11", P= 38'3") 
that you'd be prepared to sell?

 Thanks,
