Beemer survived the hurricane. With no damage other than covered with pine 
needles. Five boat were not removed from the marina. Three sailboats and two 
sport fishers. Two sailboat broke away from their slips. One ended up sunk 
against the sea wall, mast sticking straight up and headsail flailing in the 
wind. The other a 43' ketch also broke away from her slip and ended 3/4 miles 
away laying on her side on the beach. A 10' gash at the waterline. The 
remaining boat appear unaffected. All will receive immediate eviction notices. 
The marina is closed. A meeting will be held by the city tomorrow morning to 
assess damage and determine when the marina will reopen officially. The 
commercial fishing boats were returning this afternoon to the commercial 
harbor.. And I was told I could return to the marina tomorrow knowing there's 
no power and scattered debris everywhere. 
It helps when you know people.

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes

Golden Nugget in Biloxi had four feet of water in lower level garage which mean 
marina docks were 6' minimum under water. 
Curfew till 9AM. Still waiting to hear how Beemer did.

Re: Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes

Thanks Dennis. Just got word that there's 76 boats in the cove now including 
the biloxi schooners so I suspect we picked the right spot. 
Touché going to get rocked from the way it looks too. 
Fingers crossed for all boats. Should have word early tomorrow on Beemers fate.

Stus-List Gotta Love These Hurricanes

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

So here's how my last 3 days have gone. On Thursday a fellow sailor from my 
marina in Biloxi called to let me know they were considering closing the marina 
for Nate. I packed up my car and headed down to Biloxi yesterday morning. 
Sunshine, 82 degrees and 12-15 knots from the east. I arrive to find three 
sailing buddies prepping their boats and waiting for me to lead them to the 
hurricane hole none of us have been to before. 
I add five gallons of fuel to Beemer, C, the harbor master helps us get 
off the docks and off we go at 1:30PM. It's a six to seven mile trek into 
biloxi bay and up the biloxi river. 
Two miles into the excursion going under the I110 bridge, I hear a different 
sound from the exhaust. I look down behind and see no water coming from the 
exhaust. I turn on the autopilot and run down and check the front of the engine 
to find the belt and pully laying under the engine. The hub of the pully still 
on the water pump. 
No overtemp alarm or light. Secondary cooling apparently keeping the temps from 
alarming. A mile later, bilge pump starts firing off. Back down to investigate. 
Hot water pressure release going off. 
Time to power down and toss line to friends boat to continue under toe. 
Now as I said earlier, none of us have ever been to these protected waters.  We 
find one cove and one sailboat attempts to enter. 20' 17' 5' turn around..  As 
we approach the I10 bridge (too low for us to go under) we spot a secluded cove 
with two sailboats inside. We go inside and 20' depths throughout. Three boats 
raft up setting three anchors. Lash to each other and seven lines going to 
trees ashore. 
Although you never feel you're secure enough to leave her, we jump in the dink 
at 12:30AM and motor to the pick up point where one of the wives returns us to 
the marina to get our cars. Done and exhausted at 2AM. 
This morning, get up, off to the chandlery, no pully. Ok. West marine, no pully 
but they suggest Tractor Supply Company. Sure enough they got it. Yeah. 
Jump in car and haul butt up to Hattiesburg to hole myself up till Nate passes 
thru. 
If the marina opens on Monday we will head back get the boats, if they're still 
floating, and head back to the marina. 
Special note: if the marina call for evacuation and you do not evacuate, they 
will sink your boat in the slip.

Thanks Dennis. Planning to anchor in pelican bay on the SE end of Dauphin 
Island first night. You remember meeting Bill when you were last in Biloxi ?  
He and his wife are who will be joining me. 
All the docs you made available are accessible. I will peruse them. 
Will be using inavx on my iPad. CP is on the birthday wish. Downloaded the 
Waterway Guide for the South. 
We're going last week or march as the plan goes. 
My wife will be at her daughters for two and a half weeks so I'll have plenty 
of time on Beemer. Might have to make a Ponchatraine trip the second week. 
Will be good to see you again.

Stus-List Prepping For First Cruise

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

First let me apologize. I do get carried away writing at times. 
Until Beemer, 29mkII, was moved down to Biloxi 14 months ago, she had been a 
lake boat for ten years, day sailing and spending weekends in the marina, 
racing around the cans. 
Sailing on a friends 48' Tayana occasionally over the last seven years in the 
Gulf spoiled me to the joys of cruising to destinations and point to point 
distance races. Have sailed from Corpus Christi all along the Gulf to Key West 
on that big beautiful yacht. 
I remember the first time I sailed Beemer out into the gulf, out of the 
protection of Deer Island. Single handed, I headed out. The winds were 10-12 
out of the south in the marina.  I threw the 105 on deck and rigged the first 
reef. Figuring I'm by myself, better to be prudent. A little chop in the bay as 
I motored west to open water. Most of you can guess what happened when I 
cleared Deer Island. Yep, bam!!  16-25 knots and 4' seas. Of course, Beemer was 
getting tossed around. Got the main up and the 105 and Beemer put her ear down 
and took off.  Dang, she's a good lil boat. 
 Since moving her to Biloxi, it's been mostly day sails, occasional overnight 
anchoring on the barrier islands, and tons of working on her, setting her up to 
cruise.   
Next month, my sailing/racing buddy, his wife and myself are heading out on a 
week cruise to Pensacola, 100 miles away. We will do fairly short days, 20-40 
miles. Stop and enjoy ourselves going and coming. Anchoring here, marina there. 
Since most of the time I'm by myself, having to plan all the extra stuff, 
blankets, towels, food for three has been fun.  My wife went out and bought a 
new quilt for the v-berth and new towels. Guess my older towels and blankets 
aren't good enough for guests. LOL.  They both use CPAP machines at night. 
Still working that electrical requirement.  And although his wife loves 
sailing, she is rather frail, so have to really watch weather so not to bounce 
her around too much. We will probably spend a fair bit of time on the ICW, at 
least heading east into the prevailing winds. The return should be outside, 
downwind run. 
Anyways, just thought I'd share my little plan for my first cruise. 
Oh yes, for any of you southerners, I'll always accept suggestions for 
anchorages or marinas between Orange Beach and Ft Walton Beach.  That means you 
too Dennis.

Re: Stus-List C Spinnaker

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

Hi John,  
My 29-2 is rigged for symmetric spinnaker. She has a topping lift, down haul, 
and halyard all run aft to the cockpit. Sheet blocks all the way aft attaching 
to the back stay mounting plate (transom corner casting). Snatch blocks mounted 
mid ship.  Sheets run to forward coming winches. 
The downhaul setup has a block attacted to a padeye on deck 1/3 way between 
forward hatch and the bow.  Also four fairleads routing the downhaul up 
starboard side of cabin and terminates next to the companion way hatch with a 
cam cleat. 
Actually works well for cruising. I single hand her fairly often in light air 
flying the chute. If racing, I have the halyard terminate at the mast. 
I can take pictures of any details you'd like next weekend when I'm back down 
on Beemer.

Re: Stus-List Circuit Breaker Panels for 1981 C 36

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

I recently replaced the 30A main breaker on my 29mkII. Pulled it ran down to 
west marine, compared it to what they had. Found one that was basically the 
same except different screw size for wire terminal lugs. Changed lugs on the 
wires and installed. Took far longer to drive to west marine than it did 
removal and installation.

Re: Stus-List Stay Shroud Tension

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

Chris,
I do not use a Loos gage on Beemer, 29mkll, to tune my rig. My process is as 
follows.
With all stays and shrouds lose, I tension the stays so I have approximately 9 
inches rake along the boom using a weight on the main halyard. Forestay first, 
then backstay to remove slop. I them tension the upper shrouds to hand tight 
and using the main halyard on the toe rails to align the masthead. I then add 
two turns to the turnbuckles. Check masthead alignment again. 
Once all aligned, I tighten the lowers hand tight. Sight the mast to ensure 
straight. Add two turns to each lower. Sight the mast. 
Time for on the water final tune. In roughly 10-12 knots of wind on beem reach, 
look at leeward shrouds for play. Removed a third of the play tightening the 
leeward turnbuckles. Count and remember the number of turns. Tack boat. Tighten 
leeward turnbuckle same Number of turns as previous tack. 
And I tack back and forth checking and making any final adjustments. You'll 
want the slop out of the leeward shrouds. 
Sounds like a long process but it really isn't. 
Is using s Loos gage quicker? Yes but I'm a cheap son of a gun. And even with a 
Loos gage you'll still occasional on water adjustments.

Re: Stus-List Head Plumbing

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

On Beemer I have a thru hull and seacock under the sink that feeds the head. 
Was fine in lakes but now with seawater it's less than my liking. Always had to 
have seacock closed as would overflow the head on a port tack. 
I plan to plumb from onboard water supply this spring. They have a kit if I 
plumb from
Pressure water side of sink in head. Currently leave the head on dry and pour 
from cup on the sink. Works fine and no odors.

Re: Stus-List stuffing box

[Bob Caughran via CnC-List]

Bev,
So fun going by memory. When I splashed Beemer in December, I had a wonderful 
stream of water from my stuffing box. Unscrewed and added one loop of packing. 
All dry after. 90% certain it was 3/8 thick. 
As Russ mentioned, other than a stream of water (not bad), easy to do while 
boat is in the water.

Re: Stus-List C 29 Mark II

Hi Eugene,
Welcome to the group.  I have an 83 Mk II. Been out in 30-35 knots and 5-6' 
seas. She's no 40 footer, but she actually handles it pretty well. You might 
get a bit wet though without a dodger. As for the spreaders, mine has a bracket 
that wraps the mast with studs that the spreaders slide over. A 3/8", I 
believe, pin with cotter pins on both sides of the pin secure it to the mast. 
It is much stronger than many like Size boats same vintage.

I have a friend with a new-to-her 1983 CC 29-2, hull number 208. The hull 
number seems sort of odd since sailboatdata.com shows production from 1983 to 
1986.

 

Can anyone confirm the dates of production and tell us how many were built?

 

Also, last week there was mention of a closed Facebook page/forum for 29-2 
owners. How would she go about finding it and joining?
