Re: Stus-List Testing DSC

2016-01-15 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
List,

As I understand it, the *primary* purpose of DSC is for rapid and accurate
communication of your ship's/boat's identity (the MMSI number) in a
distress, urgency or safety situation.  The initial burst of info from a
DSC enabled radio sends your MMSI number and, assuming you have the radio
connected to GPS, your last known position and the last time your GPS
logged it.  One is simply required to then standby on channel 16 or 4125
(or whatever in HF) and wait for the responses to your "Mayday" or "Pan
Pan" call or you broadcast your short Security announcement (or decalre a
change to a working channel for a longer announcement).

The authorities over here in Oz tell me that normal communication should be
done through the VHF or HF radios in the normal way.  Add, they advise that
the procedures I've outlined in a nutshel are now consistent across the
world - that would be a first!

Re: Stus-List MMSI Number Assigning Authority (USA and Canada)

2016-01-15 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
That's just my point, Bob.  The way someone was treated last week or even
yesterday can alter and it's too subjective to be accurate.  "Word on the
street" is not the law.  It's not even an guide to what to expect.  It's
hearsay.  And that's from someone who occasionally delights in pushing the
limits with officials.

A new supervisor at the border might get a bee in his bonnet about just
this matter (ship's licences and operator's certificates are international
requirements) and, while you would have been okay yesterday, today you are
screwed.  I've seen it happen where someone asked advice of a friend who
had been to Australia less than a week before and paid some serious
consequences for disobeying the law upon entry.  He copped a heavy fine and
was deported.  Customs officers often have blitzes about various things as
do Immigration officials.  And, if they catch you out in one misdemeanour,
they usually go looking for more and much more carefully than they might
otherwise.

Why not just do what is required?  It *is* the right thing to do.

I've said enough,
David

2016-01-15 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
Bob,

No one can give you a definitie answer about how you will be treated upon
arrival in any port anywhere in the world.  It can and does vary.

Having dealt with bureaucracies for what seems like forever, the official
answer you will get is simple:  "You must comply with the law when you
visit the Bahamas."  It's the same in any country.  How that is enforced is
often up to the individual official - some are tougher than others; some
have their favourite areas to look for, and; some are outright pigs.

When I was at school, I was one of the physically big and capable kids.  It
was a policy to avoid the bullies who I stood up to and I was left alone by
them.  Occasionally I got asked to help out some kid who was being picked
on.  My advice was usually the same:  "Why go where you know they'll be and
get targetted?  Don't give them a reason or opportunity to bully you."

The same advice applies here regardless of how the last skipper you spoke
to was treated in Nassau, Buenos Aires or Port Vila.  Be suitably informed
and obey their laws.  It's not that difficult even if it costs a little
more in the short term.  It may save you big time on arrival.

Hope that helps

Re: Stus-List Raymarine e-Series Chartplotters/MFDs

Edd,

The 9" screen in the eS Series is dearer than the 7" screen but still worth
looking at for the reasons given by Fred.  I'm going with the 7" version as
I set up "Sea Mistress" from scratch with a fully integrated Raymarine
system.  Looked seriously at the 9" but I found the 7" screen to be more
than acceptable - same size as my Samsung phone which I have no trouble
reading.

Hope that helps

Hi Dennis,

Having done a few of these, I can assure you that it's a wild ride most
years.  It's just that some are far worse.  There's a lot of emphasis on
how bad 1998 was (six sailors died) but, frankly, I think 1984 was worse.
The really bad years come around about every seven years.  Sometimes eight,
sometimes six but seven year cycles are the norm.  And it's no fun on the
serious contenders.  Every second is vital for those guys and for some
there are millions of dollars involved.  Personally, I'm pleased I gave it
away after five races (including 1984).

I do agree that it's quite a spectacle.  Yesterday afternoon the supermaxis
were making 22 knots under spinnaker.  Then the southerly hit.  At this
point it appears that 10 boats (out of 108) have officially retired (lots
of broken rudders) while a couple of others are trying to make repairs so
they can continue.  The (line honours) leaders are currently beating into a
southerly and are just entering Bass Strait.

Haven't seen any video since about dusk last night.

Hope that update helps,

David Lenehan

This time, as I see it, it hasn't been too bad though clearly
uncomfortable.  Wild Oats XI lost her main in 40 knots of wind.  It's been
much, much worse.  In the 1984 race, 104 retired out of 150 starters.  THAT
was brutal.  We got knocked down three times.

Re: Stus-List boat names

2015-09-17 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
Danny,

Five doctors over here owned a boat together.  You never knew who was
aboard at any time as they were all high powered medicos who were on call
to various hospitals.  They called their boat "Witchdoctor".  It makes more
sense heard than spelled.

Another notable was two fellows I knew well.  One was deaf - the other
blind.  The blind fellow was the best sail trimmer I've ever seen as he
knew from the tension in the sheets.  The deaf guy was the helmsman.  There
was always at least one other person aboard as crew.  They called their
boat "Hear no Evil - See No Evil".

Re: Stus-List boat names

2015-09-16 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
Danny,

There are lots of very innovative boat names over here in Australia.
Rather than bore you with a whole raft of them, I'll mention two that have
always stuck out in my mind.

The first is "Waikikamukau".  For all the world this name looks very Kiwi
(New Zealand) or even Polynesian.  The boat owner was constantly pounded
with questions about the origin of this name as you might imagine.  But
stop scratching your head and try to pronounce it.  Then you'll start to
realise he was having a piece of everyone.  Just in case you are having
trouble, I'll break it up for you:  Wai-kik-a-mu-kau

The other stand out name came from a skipper who was entering his yacht
into upcoming Australian and world championship regattas.  He turned up to
register his brand new boat about an hour before the deadline.  Because he
had no name for the boat they wouldn't accept his entry.  He walked out of
th eyacht club and right in front of him was a road condition warning
sign.  He immediately walked back in and registered his boat as "Slippery
When Wet".


Maybe that will assist your imagination,
David

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

2015-09-15 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
Danny,

Many years ago I bought a Musto.  It was on special price at the time but
still cost a fortune and I nearly passed on the opportunity but was
convinced by a colleague that it would be a good buy.  It was.  And it
remains the best investment I've ever made in my personal sailing
equipment.  Frankly, I've never had a moment's trouble with it and, while
faded a little with time, it still works perfectly.  The only change I made
was to convert the auto inflate to manual when it went in for a service.

Can't agree with Martin enough.  It's got to be comfortable as you'll wear
it a lot - should be part of the skipper's standing orders to wear it if
alone in the cockpit or leaving it to go for'ard regardless of the sea
conditions.  And make sure you get the version which has the harness
attachment rings.

Mine is worn over my spray jacket or foul weather jacket but tucked under
the collar to prevent chafe on the back of the neck.

Hope that assists,
David

Re: Stus-List intimidating Music

2015-07-13 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
While I loved what the Australians did during the America's Cup regatta
back in 1983 - that was psychological warfare - I go out to enjoy the music
of the water and the singing of the wind.  No music required while the wind
and the rags are up.

  There's no accounting for taste or mood. As a general rule I listen to
 everything. In practice I primarily listen to old 60s reggae, ska, and rock
 n roll (old and new). I have no more time or energy for 'easy listening' or
 anything depressing (classical != easy listening). Happy music only please.
 Bob Marley gets a lot of playtime both on and off the boat. Legend is the

 Edd,

 Your M-35 is a marinized Kubota tractor engine.  You might contact a
 tractor mechanic about rebuilding it.  Seems to me a rebuild should be in
 the $3000-3500 range.  A new one would be north of $7-8K.

 I handled a complete rebuild on an M-30 a while back.  I got most of the
 parts from a Kubota tractor dealer.  Somewhere there is a cross reference
 for parts using the serial number off the block.

 I took the head and block and the bearings, rings, etc. to a regular
 engine machine shop.  They built the block, rebuilt the head and installed
 the head.  All I had to do was install the heat exchanger and a few other
 goodies and drop it back in the boat.  That M-30 is still going strong.

Re: Stus-List Anchor Size

2015-05-31 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
Joe,

The general rule of thumb with anchors is one pound per foot (length of
yacht).

However, that's just a guide.  If your boat is heavier than average boats
of 38 feet, take the next size up.  Shouldn't be, in your case.  The same
rule (get the next size up) applies if you have a lot of windage (no, not
from beans - from the likes of a large spray dodger or a closed in bimini)
or if you are likely to be in heavy wind conditions while at anchor.

Having said all that, keep in mind that the anchor is not the only factor.
The length and type of rode and the depth of water are big factors.  Within
reason, the more chain rode the better.

My usual approach is take a size larger and as much chain as my boat can
handle.  My last boat (a 43 footer) carried 250' of 3/8 galvanised chain
with a 54lb CQR as the primary anchor.  Never dragged the hook in any
conditions and we never used the secondary anchor.

Hope that helps.  Factors relating to your particular weather and sea
conditions are better answered by someone geographically closer than me.
And there should be plenty of them.

Best of luck,
David

 regardless of make or engine type that bypassing these connectors has
 frequently cured. I suggest cutting out the connectors and splicing the
 individual wires together using top quality heat shrink crimp butt
 connectors. In the event that the engine has to be serviced, removed, or
 replaced, the wires can be severed and rejoined as needed.

Re: Stus-List Stupid Club

2015-05-20 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
This is such an interesting thread that I thought I'd expose myself to some
laughter too.  As a matter of added interest, I joined the Stupid Club on
the day after I joined the Hypocrit's Club.

Years ago I had a lovely long line that I decided I'd use as a genoa
sheet.  It was a beautiful length of brand new polyester braid back when
polyester rope was still something of a novelty.  I sat back and admired my
work noting that the sheet was a bit longer than it needed to be.

Not to worry, I told myself smugly, I'll sort that out later.

The next morning we were motoring out for our race.  I was a first year
skipper in my first keel boat.  We were far ahead in the standings and only
had to finish this race to take home the silverware.  I was dreaming of the
glory instead of watching what everyone was doing.  I instructed the crew
to set up as we usually did and one of the inexperienced crew dropped the
end of the genoa sheet over the side and didn't recover it immediately.

Yes, you guessed it!  It wrapped itself around the prop and the shaft shaft
and we started taking on water.  Large volumes of it.  Didn't start the
race, didn't take the trophy home and nearly didn't get the boat home
either.  The list of damage it caused is too long to tell but it cost a
fortune and did some serious ego bashing.  A host of lessons learned.

Actually, Mike, it was all that and much more.  We went within a whisker of
losing the boat.  so there was a massive amount if damage internally as
well.  She was on the hard for nearly two months drying out then being
almost completely rebuilt inside, new wiring, new electronics and on and on
it went.

What saved her was that we inflated two 12' inflatable dinghies inside the
cabin.  That gave her a lot  more buoyancy.

When our volunteer coast guard arrived, their self-priming pump wouldn't
work.  They finally called for another coast guard boat and their crew took
over from ours on the pumps and buckets.  Looking back it was a little
comical but it certainly wasn't at the time.

Allen,

Chuck has probably about summed it up.  If you are running kites you might
need one more person on deck but be careful to avoid overcrowding.  Anyone
surplus to current sailhandling becomes human ballast and has the joy of
sitting on the windward gunwhale.  Lucky people.

Also, I agree with Chuck about this being a noble cause.  Anything you can
do to get people out sailing is a good thing.

 You won't need many descriptions if the boats have roller furled jibs.
 Helm, Mainsheet Trimmer, Genoa Trimmer each side?  Maybe a Floater who
 skirts the jib, and works the halyards, Cunningham, Vang, Outhaul,
 Preventer?

 The most intimidating thing to me was not running into other boats during
 the start, the start sequence; timing the start, the various flags, gun,
 etc.   It would be good to practice that in class showing the Preparatory
 signal, Postponement, Start flags.

 I can recommend a very good book on racing:
 *Getting Started in Sailboat Racing*  by Adam Cort, 2005;  helps explains
 getting around the course, and simple start strategies, etc.

 For trimming sails, I buy my guys *Mainsail Trimming* and *Jib Trimming*

 I have a great example of why we all love CC's!  I have rigged the boat
 to sail single-handed, and upgraded most of the boat including new
 refrigeration, shore power, instruments, sail track and self-tailing
 primary winches.  The boat is listed at $49,900, but reasonable offers will
 be considered.  Please shoot me a note if you would like a copy of the
 flyer and/or more information.

Re: Stus-List Introduction and a question

2015-04-04 Thread David Lenehan via CnC-List
Lots of good information from everyone.  Thank you.  I've also asked for
advice on Cruisers Forum and they've tossed in a lot of things.  I have to
admit I've been given a lot to think about but that's no complaint.  I've
also had family here from Queensland so I've been distracted though I've
managed to read everyone's input.

While I'm still at the research stage, I've now been introduced to two
boats which may change my timing a bit.  They are of a price (assuming they
clear a rigorous survey) which could well make an early purchase viable.
And, I could then customise the boat with the pennies left over from a more
expensive option - which would be considerable in each case.  It's food for
thought.

Any other advice is a positive from my point of view.

One question I do have...  How wet is the cockpit in a blow of steep seas?
A bit of damp never hurt anyone and my racing background means I'm familiar
with this phenomenon.  The point was raised elsewhere because of the low
cockpit coamings.  Comments?

  As with all gen 3 CC's , get a surveyor who knows something about balsa
 cored hulls and have him go over it carefully.

 Good luck

 Hi David. I'm the guy who recommended you come here. Hopefully someone
 chimes in soon. I think Fred Hazzard has a 44.

  Hi, I'm David.  I live in Melbourne Australia and I've got lots of
 blue-water experience in both racing and cruising.  Sadly I am currently
 between boats having lived in Kazakhstan for the past few years.  But I'm
 now searching for a boat I hope will be my last.  At this moment my
 preference is for the CC 44.  Everything I've managed to collect lavishes
 praise on this boat from the quality of the construction to the superb and
 well thought through design and the sparkling performance.

 That's the gloss.  There are several currently on the market spread
 around through Eastern Canada, the Caribbean and San Diego.  None in
 Australia but I'll enjoy bringing her home once I find the one for me.

 What I really need to know is what to look for when I start stepping
 aboard the boats that are available.  I'd appreciate comments from those of
 you with experience both in the 44 and with generic issues with CC boats
 in general.  Any sensible comments and advice are welcome.

 Kind regards
 David
