Stus-List Baby stay vs new headsail

[Peter McMinn via CnC-List]

We’ve been sailing this summer with two exhausted composite headsails (110&125) 
purchased with our 37, Sirius.

The leeches on both sails reveal a tortured  past with the babystay. With a new 
Precision tiradial 120 coming over winter, we’re practicing tacks with no 
babystay contact, backwinding lightly to pull the sail over.

Improvement needed.

For those of you with babystays, what strategies do you employ to avoid sail 
contact with the stay and/or minimizing damage?

I’ll search archives, too. Thx

Talk to Bruce Dempsey...your dock neighbor...he had a beautiful mainsail 
of Pentax with a big roach made for his 34R and other sails.

Stus-List C 34r sails

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

Hi  Chuck

Have a friend who recently bought a 34r. Who do you recommend for making sails 
specifically for the 34r that knows and understands the boat when designing and 
building a main sail?

Thanks

I'd suggest calling a hydraulic ram repair company nearest to you.  The guys 
who repair dozers and backhoe rams.   My local guys rebuilt my leaking Navtec 
-10 system, ram and remote pump station for $35 when Navtec dealer quoted $750. 
 Been good for at least 5 years so far.

I'm looking to replace my Stearn gauges on the hydraulic panel for my vang
and backstay.  Any suggestion on where to find a suitable equivalent gauge.
They are currently fogged up so bad that I can't read them.  They are 3500
psi and 5500 psi.

agree with cetol, several coats...I did 5 coats a few years back when I had
the hand rails off for rebedding which I did with butyl tape and not much
upkeep yet, just light sanding and touch up on the top surfaces so no
cutting in or scraping...I like the look of teak on these older boats
otherwise I might have gone to stainless steel hand rails

 He sprinkled the flakes behind the stove where he believed the rat(s) were

To update you on the dryer sheets, around here people use them to stop mice

groomer and it was full of dryer sheets, and as I lifted the console to check 
on some wiring there was a family of 6 mice nestled in the dryer sheets! So 
better find something else to use.

Stus-List Re: IDA - C check in

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

We look to be getting about 35 knots maybe and 3+ inches of rain tonight. I 
happen to have my dinghy home for bottom painting and if this is like the last 
big storm, I might need to tie it to a tree or it will float away.

Our house is a couple feet up on a crawlspace, so even water that high doesn’t 
bother it.

to contract out help from the Corps of Engineers on occasion.  They used to

  Hey Richard, 
   My daughter serves with the Coast Guard there in Louisville so I have a 
vested interest your situation there.  We visited in June and learned about the 
river height and how it changes so much during the year.  One tip was seeing 
the piling are higher than those seen in Maine.
   
   I believe NOAA predicts the rise will happen Fri/Sat.  Anyway, I hope your 
boat fairs well and please share photos or webcams where a guy in New Jersey 
can observe this amazing event.

The Admiral and I spent a scary sleepless night listening to 50-70 mph 
gusts working on the many big trees around the house. One branch took out a 
couple panes of glass in the master bedroom and the top 15-20 feet of a large 
oak tree in the front yard bent over but stayed in the tree. Lots of branches 
in the yard this morning. Otherwise we’re okay.    
   Fortunately, the eye passed about 20 miles east of us so we got very little 
rain.    
   We have no power, internet or cable.  We just got cell phone service about 
an hour ago.    
   The water in Touche’s marina was 4.5 feet over the dock.  I have not heard 
any news about Touche’ yet. The water is still high in the marina.    
   Our friends in New Orleans might not have been so fortunate. Hope to hear 
from Ed Levert and Kevin Benoit but suspect it may be a while.  A major 
electrical transmission tower blew down and left all of Orleans Parish without 
power. That will not be an easy fix.
