Re: Stus-List Air in fuel line

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I have never had much luck with the Racor 200FG which is the smaller
predecessor of the 500.  I've completely rebuilt mine with all new o-rings
and I always vent it thoroughly but still manage to accumulate air.  My
first question is why you didn't put the fuel pumps as close to the tank
physically and hydraulicly as possible, ie: upstream of the racor?  This
would ensure that air was constantly being pushed out of any leaking seals
by pressurized fuel.  Your air leaks would then become fuel leaks and be
both manageable and easier to identify.  It is also unlikely that leaking
fuel would cause the engine to shutdown.

Re: Stus-List C 37/40+ holding tank

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

You pretty much nailed it.  The shower surround comes first.  Then
disconnect the water supply and drain hoses.  Remove all the screws
followed by the counter top.  I'll warn you that the vent is still set far
back and not easy to access even without the counter top.  You may need to
make a second access port in one of the cabinets - probably the left most
cabinet, righthand side.

I had a leaking hand hole in the top of mine.  Then I found out that the
pickup tube for the pump out had become disconnected and I had to engineer
a new system.  While I was there I installed a new tank level monitoring
system.

I'd be interested in this as well -- not so much for the holding tank but I'd 
love to replace the faucet and shower fixtures someday. 

All the best,

Re: Stus-List Separation between locker and engine 33-2

[Dave via CnC-List]

Verrry interesting.your refrigeration unit is in a completely different 
location.   Windstar has a plywood separator dividing the two spaces, but it's 
only a foot high at its tallest.  I was thinking after reading this thread to 
make a machine guard to cover the rotating parts, essentially leaving what I 
have intact. 
Was in FB on Saturday, didn't think to look for you.  Should have studied your 
boat more when you visited!
Btw, Canada day and harbour day festivities are combined next weekend in 
Whitby.   Lots going on, probably the best weekend to visit if you can get a 
slip.  (I'm still on pier 7)

still drying on the last one, I just got certified as an ASA instructor in 
March. Since then I did my first Atlantic crossing as a watch captain 
(actually, solo watches) on a Hallberg Rassy 40 (Tortola-Bermuda-Faial). I am 
looking to buy my own boat now, checking out a Swan 40 among other things. I 
got the captain's license, so I could teach sailing, and would like to have my 
own sailing school on day. I am based in Boston, but don't spend much time 
there this year. I've been sailing almost full time since February. When I am 
in Boston, I skipper MIT's 1970s C custom 43 xDimension (XD). I posted some 
XD-related questions a while ago and the C listers were super helpful.

If you'd like to talk, let me know. My US phone is off right now, because I am 
still in Europe after the crossing, but I get back to the US in July. You can 
reach me at this email or my MIT email viol...@mit.edu. 
If you want to chat on the phone, I can call you at a convenient time. For 
future reference, my US mobile is +1.857.366.1706, but again, it's off right 
now.

My guess is this is a delivery back home of a boat that will race from 
Marblehead to Halifax. Out of curiosity, are you racing too?

Fair winds,

Violeta

Hi everyone,
I have to bring a racer/cruiser from exotic Halifax, Nova Scotia to NY leaving 
around July 14. I am in need of a third hand for the trip. The boat is an Xp 
44. It's an excellent boat (I brought it back after they won the Bermuda race 
last summer); kind of a modern take on what our boats might have been like if 
they'd been designed last year instead of 40 years ago!
Anyway, if anyone would like to sign on for the trip drop me a line or call. I 
have room for one or two people. All reasonable expenses will be on me. My mate 
and I plan on going up a day early and renting a car to have a look around the 
area before we head to the boat.

Cheers

Ahoy!

Did I just posted this on the entire list? Ouch. I am out of practice
posting here.

I meant to email only Andy Burton. Oh well, I guess he's see it too. :)

Everyone else - please ignore the spam!

Fair winds,

Hi Andy,

Do you still need crew for this delivery? I will be interested in coming
for this one and/or getting on your crew list in general.

Brief resume for me: USCG Master 50 Ton Inland license with sail
endorsement (brand new Oct 2016, exp 2021), certified sailing instructor
for ASA basic keelboat sailing, basic coastal cruising, and coastal
navigation. The ink is still drying on the last one, I just got certified
as an ASA instructor in March. Since then I did my first Atlantic crossing
as a watch captain (actually, solo watches) on a Hallberg Rassy 40
(Tortola-Bermuda-Faial). I am looking to buy my own boat now, checking out
a Swan 40 among other things. I got the captain's license, so I could teach
sailing, and would like to have my own sailing school on day. I am based in
Boston, but don't spend much time there this year. I've been sailing almost
full time since February. When I am in Boston, I skipper MIT's 1970s C
custom 43 xDimension (XD). I posted some XD-related questions a while ago
and the C listers were super helpful.

If you'd like to talk, let me know. My US phone is off right now, because I
am still in Europe after the crossing, but I get back to the US in July.
You can reach me at this email or my MIT email viol...@mit.edu. If you want

reference, my US mobile is +1.857.366.1706, but again, it's off right now.

Marblehead to Halifax. Out of curiosity, are you racing too?
