Re: Stus-List Hydraulic backstay adjuster rebuild?

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Shawn,

FWIW, I got a quote from a Navtec certified rigger to rebuild my Navtec -10 for 
$800.  Instead I took the ram and the remote pump to a local hydraulic shop and 
they cleaned it, replaced the O-rings and bench tested it to 4000# for 30 
minutes.   They charged me $30 and I tipped them $20, nine years ago.  Still 
tight, no drips.


You have several other options; get a new ram unit w integral pump, replace 
with a cascade pulley system like many one designs.

This must have come up on the list before, but I can't remember it. Does anyone

climate to retard the future growth of algae on the deck once it has been

Thanks, Brad. I forgot to mention that I'm in Victoria, BC, so I'd prefer
to find someone local. I read over this article, and think I will inspect
the rod to check for any damage first, as it sounds like that will
necessitate a replacement vs. just new seals. With the number of C in
the area, I suspect a local shop will be able to do it.

Lew Townsend in Seattle might be able to repair that for you.  He did a great

Subject: Stus-List Hydraulic backstay adjuster rebuild?

 

Hello all,

 

It appears that the backstay adjuster is in need of a rebuild. Although the 
gauge reads to 2500psi, it struggles to reach 500, and slowly bleeds down. It 
is marked Hydra Tech Marine, Vancouver, BC. (which appears to be out of 
business), and looks like this:

 

https://photos.app.goo.gl/DmEJJG4KKXt66bxr5

 

Is this something I can rebuild myself by obtaining seals and o-rings, or 
should take it to a hydraulic shop?

 

Also, what range should it be set to on a '74 35, with twin forestays/furlers?

 

Thanks.

Re: Stus-List Source for replacement lifelines in Toronto? Now general lifeline information

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

Even for those worried about UV degradation and chafe, New England makes a 
Dyneema double braid specifically for lifelines called wr2

https://www.neropes.com/products/performance-cruising/product/detail/wr2-ultra/

It has a coated outer braid that, while more difficult to splice, has all the 
strength and low stretch characteristics of a single braid with the added 
protection of a Dyneema outer jacket.  C. Sherman Johnson Marine offers their 
Splice Line fittings that are nicely rounded and radiused to be kind to rope 
constructions and facilitate gates and other adjustable end terminations. 

http://www.csjohnson.com/news/splice_line_fittings.php

I believe Hayn and Suncor have also developed specialty terminations that are 
less likely to chafe high modulus rope lifelines.

With a bit of care and planning, the high strength lines can be installed at a 
significant savings over comparable steel  wire and swaged fittings.

I was thinking of a  positive plug, but decided to lurk through this one till 
now.

I think the doubting Thomas’s are just the sailors who haven’t spent much time 
with Spectra and similar materials.

I did a round of testing with North around 20 years ago, and my first 
experience with Spectra webbing was shock, I couldn’t believe how strong, 
tough, and little stretch it had, especially compared to Nylon.

I have been a believer ever since.

My lower life lines have been Spectra since 2005.

I checked those regs and they now permit HMPE rope lifelines. 

“Lifeline Specifications

Lifelines of stranded stainless steel wire

Lifelines of either:

stranded stainless steel wire

HMPE

The minimum diameter is specified in table 8 below

Stainless steel lifelines shall be uncoated and used without close-fitting 
sleeving, however, temporary sleeving may be fitted provided it is regularly 
removed for inspection.

A lanyard of synthetic rope may be used to secure lifelines provided the gap it 
closes does not exceed 100 mm (4”). This lanyard shall be replaced annually

All components of the lifeline enclosure system shall have a breaking strength 
no less than the lifeline

When HMPE is used, it shall be protected from chafe and spliced in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.”

Re: Stus-List Source for replacement lifelines in Toronto? Now general lifeline information

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

Just my opinion but I would not trust rope over wire.  It chafes and can be 
easily cut.

I checked those regs and they now permit HMPE rope lifelines.
“Lifeline Specifications
Lifelines of stranded stainless steel wire
Lifelines of either:
stranded stainless steel wire
HMPE
The minimum diameter is specified in table 8 below
Stainless steel lifelines shall be uncoated and used without close-fitting 
sleeving, however, temporary sleeving may be fitted provided it is regularly 
removed for inspection.
A lanyard of synthetic rope may be used to secure lifelines provided the gap it 
closes does not exceed 100 mm (4”). This lanyard shall be replaced annually
All components of the lifeline enclosure system shall have a breaking strength 
no less than the lifeline
When HMPE is used, it shall be protected from chafe and spliced in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.”
