Hey Ron,
3M Heavy Duty clear Shipping Tape; Walmart, CVS, most anywhere.  Clean surface 
first with a solvent like acetone, let dry before applying tape.  Works great.  
If the hole is bigger than 3/4", apply a second piece like a cross.  When you 
remove the tape, the hole will be flush and smooth.  

I use West Epoxy and 404 high density filler cause it's offwhite and stronger 
than the others.

Ron,  as part of Calypso’s way too long restoration project we have filled over 
250 deck holes with different viscosities of epoxy.

In short we found most tapes to provide poor sealing of the hole allowing lower 
viscosity epoxy to drip/ooze out.  Early on in our learning process I had lots 
of epoxy in my hair.

-Use a thick (high viscosity) 5 minute epoxy to seal the bottom of the hole.  
Works great but you will need to watch for bubbles forming in the hole.
-Use a wide packing tape on smooth surfaces.  Has worked well with epoxy made 
thick with Cabosil and other fillers, both high and low density.  We used 
ground glass fibers for holes that would not be used again.  For holes that 
needed small repairs and sealing prior to being re-used we would pick a West 
Systems low density filler like 407 or 410.  For particularly structural hole 
repairs we cut round pieces of glass cloth to help fill the holes.
-use a small piece of mylar or similar “slippery” film and a quick drying 
masking compound.  I got our mylar and masking compound from electrical 
manufacturing sources back when I was involved with that industry.  If you are 
interested I will look up the manufacturer of the masking compound.

For blind holes, thicken epoxy can be forced up with the same squeeze tube used 
by cake decorators.  Get the thicker film type.  A quick hack is to use a 
zip-lock bag and cut out the corner.

To avoid boring those listers not excited about mixing epoxy, let me know if 
you want to dig deeper into the topic of the epoxy hole filling arts offline.

Stus-List Re: Broken rod rigging attachment for babystay deck at keel - 37/40+

2021-02-16 Thread John and Maryann Read via CnC-List
Our 34 halyards are attached to the casting on the deck surrounding the mast.  
Inside, the casting has two stainless tangs that attach to the mast which 
serves two purposes:   1) offset the upward pull of the halyards and 2) prevent 
the deck from springing upward as the mast shrouds are tightened and try to 
decrease the beam of the boat.

 

As for the rod holding the baby stay I seem to recall a prior similar issue on 
this list.  The fitting was similar to a lag bolt and screwed into the 
fiberglass and into the keel.  Remember the only thing preventing the mast from 
inverting (which is a disaster) or pumping (which impacts sail shape)  is the 
baby stay.  Some do not use it but I believe it to be an essential part of the 
mast structure taking the place of forward and aft lower shrouds.  Just look up 
your mast without a baby stay when going to windward in any sort of seaway.

 

My 2 cents American

2021-02-16 Thread pete.shelquist--- via CnC-List
Bruce – 

I think you’re on the right track on how the rod is attached to your hull.  
Ideally, there is a plate that a new rod can easily be attached to, but you may 
need to grind down and install all new.   I’ve never looked at mine to give you 
a clear answer.   There should also be a turnbuckle to tune up the tension on 
the rod (before you tension the rig).  I have two rods holding down each end of 
the track that my babystay attaches to.  

 

Without the rod support, I wouldn’t attach the babystay.  It is structural and, 
in that scenario, the deck is now only supported at the partners and you risk 
lifting/stressing the deck in front of the mast.  Let the mast pump, it’s the 
lesser of two evils.  

 

On Lake Superior we get short, steep waves.  When it’s lumpy my mast (which is 
a tree trunk) still pumps a ton and I crank on the baby stay as tight as it’ll 
go.   

 

Hope that helps. 

Pete

If you have turning blocks attached to the deck I would be careful, as the rod 
counteracts the upward force of the halyards.  If they are attached to the

Bruce,

I believe the rod is a connection from the baby stay track to the keel.  If 
your baby stay is disconnected (as mine is), I don’t think there is any force 
on that rod. 

I’ve never experienced any pumping and I’ve sailed the Enterprise is all kinds 
of conditions. 

I think you can sail without it - as long as you disconnect the baby stay from 
the track. 

But I could be wrong. Another possibility is that you should total the boat and 
buy another, one that is about 70 miles south of you :-). 

All the best, 

Edd

In benign conditions, I would forgetaboutit! My 36XL had a baby stay which 
besides being a PITA for tacking was mostly unnecessary for my rig, whose 3 
spreaders are not swept aft. For my masthead rig, it’s primary purpose was to 
reduce/eliminate mast pumping in a seaway since my mast is not a ‘tree-trunk’.
I removed it (and the baby stay track) and for my NC Sound and river racing 
never looked back.

length of rigging that runs from the underside of the deck to the keel trunk to 
reinforce the deck at the aft end of the babystay track.  
The attachment at the keel failed due to rust, but I can't really tell

threaded rod welded on to a stainless steel plate that was glassed in place on 
the top of the trunk.  It was the threaded rod that failed where it exited the 
fiberglass.
Has anyone else had this fail?  
Do you know how the threaded rod was attached?
How did you fix it?
Finally, presuming I'm not putting on a lot of babystay tension, can I still 
sail the boat in benign conditions until I can get it fixed?

Regarding Dennis’ comment about overbored holes being hidden by the track, a 
trick I like to use is to drill up from underneath and stop when the bit 
encounters the underside of the deck.  The result is that the hole on the deck 
surface stays the same size.  In addition, you know precisely where to place 
the deck fitting and drill the new hole.

The additional cost of more HP will be small compared to install collateral 
items.   I repowered with a Beta and they are great engines and great people.   
I assume you will upgrade the alternator.  Bigger alternator means HP drag.   
Ask Beta for advice.   Me?  At least 30.  In my 40, now at 33 hp, I would do at 
least 45.  When you need it...you will really need it

Sort of kind of.
I have an Atomic 4 and it is rated at 30 HP at *3600* RPM. The only boats 
getting close to 3600 RPM are either planing hulls or have a reduction gear, 
which most of them do not.
Mine is direct drive and maxes out at about 2400-2500 RPM. It is about a 22-25 
HP engine in most applications. Running under power next to a 34 with the 18 HP 
diesel I was definitely faster, but I am pretty sure a 25 HP diesel with a 
reduction gear would beat an Atomic 4 in a race.

2021-02-16 Thread Joel Aronson via CnC-List
Bruce,

If you have turning blocks attached to the deck I would be careful, as the
rod counteracts the upward force of the halyards.  If they are attached to
the mast, I would think you are OK.

Stus-List Broken rod rigging attachment for babystay deck at keel - 37/40+

2021-02-16 Thread Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List
Hello all,

I have a 1994 37/40+, which of course has rod rigging.  We were out sailing
yesterday, and I had put on some babystay and backstay tension, but not a
tremendous amount.

When I got back to the dock, I found, down in the cabin that the rod that
is just forward of the mast broke loose from the keel trunk.  This is a 6
ft. length of rigging that runs from the underside of the deck to the keel
trunk to reinforce the deck at the aft end of the babystay track.

The attachment at the keel failed due to rust, but I can't really tell
completely how it attached.  There is a threaded rod that goes between to
keel trunk and the turnbuckle for adjustment.  It seems as though it may
have been threaded rod welded on to a stainless steel plate that was
glassed in place on the top of the trunk.  It was the threaded rod that
failed where it exited the fiberglass.

Has anyone else had this fail?

Do you know how the threaded rod was attached?

How did you fix it?

Finally, presuming I'm not putting on a lot of babystay tension, can I
still sail the boat in benign conditions until I can get it fixed?

Thanks!

Adam,
You can do it either way. Using a buss bar, a terminal strip (which will
require jumpers between circuits), or you could use a fuse block. The later
will protect each individual circuit.
