Stus-List Folding prop

[Howard and Skippy via CnC-List]

Folding Prop
I replaced the original folding prop with a Flex-o-fold and have been 
very happy with it. Now 5+  years old it still looks new after scraping 
off the summer crud. Excellent performance in forward and very good in 
reverse. Definitely worth looking at.

Stus-List abrasion on halyard

Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Several years ago, I replace the wire/rope genoa halyard on my 34+ with 3/8? 
Maxbraid.  Every year since, the casing of the Maxbraid has been worn through 
by the end of the season.  I rarely lower the sail so don?t konw how fast it is 
happening.  I have not worried too much about it as the inner casing seems 
fine, but clearly there is a problem.  I have had not had the mast down since I 
bought the boat, but two riggers have gone up and looked at it and neither 
could figure out what the problem was.  Neither thought the sheave was the 
issue, but the place where the wear is occuring is about 8? above the furler 
swivel and roughly where the halyard enters the mast.  Has anyone else had a 
problem like this and found a solution?  Thanks- Dave

Dave,
2 things to explore. There is often abrasion between the spinnaker halyard and 
the jib halyard, especially if the spinnaker halyard is not led forward and 
secured on the bow rail. Whichever line is softer will show wear.  The other is 
that it is sometimes necessary to swap out the sheave as it has a groove meant 
for the wire portion of the halyard.

Stus-List Cutlass bearing

[Howard and Skippy via CnC-List]

Looking to replace the cutlass bearing
on my 1985 35 mk3.
Any info would be helpful.
  Does the rudder have to be removed or will the shaft slide by it?
Is there a special tool for removing it without removing the shaft?

Thanks
Gerry Fennessey
Fianna
Gerry, I had my cutlass bearing replaced a few seasons ago. I had to 
remove the prop and the marina had a special tool that pressed out the 
old bearing and then pressed in a new one without having to remove the 
shaft.  The answer is yes, such a tool does exist. Ask around and 
hopefully you will be able to find a marina who has the tool. It makes 
life much easier.

Stus-List 1. Colregs question for boats not in an organized race

[Howard and Skippy via CnC-List]

 1.  Colregs question for boats not in an organized race
If the boats were racing, there would be preparation in the skippers 
minds for such a situation and it would not cause undue anxiety. I do not think 
this can be settled by the COlregs, but, instead by the rules of common sense 
(which might not always be too common). It is just bad form to do something 
that is going to scare or cause distress in another boater. Good manners 
dictates that you do not pass so close to a non-racing boat that it causes the 
boat, especially if on starboard, to alter course. If they were too close to 
shout a hail that the intention was to pass astern and that no course 
alteration was needed, that_might_  have been OK, otherwise, not OK

Dave,
One of the most important things you can do with this install is insure proper 
hose diameter for ventilation. Most head odor problems can be traced to vent 
hoses that are too small.  If you find or have a tank made, put in the largest 
vent hose size you can fit.

Dennis,
If you enjoy wine and wish to rent a car, the wineries on the North Fork of Long Island 
are worth visiting. If you are an oenophile, email me at emp...@optonline.net and I can 
share our favorites with you. Shelter Island is nice, but not much to see unless you like 
nature trails and a really quaint setting. Sag Harbor can be impressive as it is the 
playground for the rich and famous. When we sailed in, the boat behind us radioed 
"what are all those hotels doing near the water". They were not hotels, just 
150 -250 yachts! If you want to take the ferry to New London from Port Jeff, the Mystic 
Seaport is worth the trip. Enjoy the trip.

I own a 35 MK III. It has no plate detailing limits. I have had the boat rafted up

kind of question that is answered by reality. With many more people aboard, you 
could not sail safely. On a mooring, it depends on how much booze you have aboard

I also have a 35-3. I put 2 solar powered vents in, one in the head 
hatch feeding air in and one in the main salon hatch set to exit air. 
The combo works well and the boat is never stuffy after it sits for a 
few days. Cut the plexiglass in the hatch to size, caulk and you will be 
good to go.

Stus-List Insurance issues

[Howard and Skippy via CnC-List]

Insurance experience
My C 35-3 has been insured by Allstate for the last 25 years and I 
have experience with 3 major claims. Once, while transiting Plum Gut 
with my son at the helm, doing about 8 kts with the big chute up, we hit 
an unseen, underground spire submerged 6' below the surface. 20k later 
Allstate covered all but the 500 deductible and there was no increase in 
rate which has held at about 5-600 with an insured value of 60k + 6k for 
"accessories" for the duration of coverage.   About 10-15 years ago, the 
boat, during a storm, was blown off its jack stands when the cover 
caught one of the stands causing hull and rigging damage. some 20+k 
later, Allstate handled the claim speedily and without premium increase. 
The boat was totaled in Super Storm Sandy. After a 45K payout, Allstate 
gave me the boat along with the check. I used the $ to rebuild the boat 
and she is as good as or better now than new. There has been no real 
increase in premium. I can only praise Allstate in that they are 1/2 the 
cost of Boat US, have been easy to work with and have stuck with me 
through  3 major incidents.

If you can get a 35-3 for 25k, close as fast as you can. Mine (1984) is 
for sail and is 20k more. It is an absolutely wonderful boat, sails 
better than most, fast, safe and will give you many years of satisfied 
ownership. I bought mine in 93 and have loved every day I have owned it. 
I am only selling as it it is very costly to ship it to California, 
where I will be moving next summer.

I have owned Knot Again, a 35-3 for about 25 years. I have raced and 
cruised with her extensively. She is one of the winning-est boats in the 
Middle Atlantic states. 18 trophies in the Around Long Island Regatta, 
multiple club championships. Multiple NJ offshore racing conference 
firsts (seconds and thirds). Third in C worlds. This summer, in two 
major regattas, in 10 races, 9 1sts and 1 2nd (by 5 seconds!). A safe, 
dependable wonderful sailing vessel. I am moving to California and it is 
too expensive to ship it, so it is for sale.IMHO, one of the nicest 35-3 
available. Needs nothing and ready to sail away. Still actively being 
used. Extensive upgrades. Please email for pictures and complete info.

Call Guido at Garhauer. He made the traveler for my 38 with a tall track and 
the car sized to fit the well in the bridge deck. The hole spacing was made to 
match the pattern of the OEM traveler track. The length was custom for the 
boat. The turning blocks and cleats for the 6:1 adjuster lines were angled to 
allow adjusting from the helm when single handing.

No extra charge for all the custom work

Ditto on the suggestion. Garhauer made the traveler for my 35-3. Fits 
perfectly. It feeds quick release, flick up flick down cleats so you can move 
the traveler even when loaded. Garhauers products are all excellent. They will 
work with you and you will have a very workable, affordable product.

Stus-List Yanmar 3gm oil leak

[Howard and Skippy via CnC-List]

Hello All,
For the last few years, I had a significant loss of oil whenever I 
ran the engine for more than a few minutes. During 1 run through Hell's 
Gate back to home waters in Raritan Bay, the oil light and buzzer 
sounded (naturally at the worst time). We hoisted the sails and sailed 
down the East River - not recommended! When in Raritan Bay the wind 
died, I got a tow from SeaTow back to the mooring. This convinced me to 
rebuild the engine over last winter, however, after a great deal of 
trouble shooting and having multiple eyes look at the situation, we 
noticed that the bulk of the oil was accumulating on the side of the 
engine with the dip stick. The dip stick slid in easily. Further 
exploration led to the conclusion that the source of the oil leak was, 
in fact, the dip stick. Finding a new replacement for an old 3GM was a 
task as all the dealers said none were available. An old salty engine 
repair man I met at the Annapolis boat show told me he could get one. He 
did. I now have a tight seal and no oil leak! If you have an old Yanmar 
and it has a mystery leak, check your dipstick for proper fit.

I replaced the  Martec on my 35-3 many years ago with a Flex-0-Fold 2

issue worth mentioning is you need to mark your prop shaft to note when 
the blades are at the 9 & 3 position when racing. otherwise, one blade 
may flop opened and create extra drag.

Hello All,
Now that the boat (35-3) is on the hard, I was able to clean the engine 
and try to locate the source of my oil leak(s).  It appears that the 
culprit is the dipstick! The rubber seal no longer is able to stay in 
place, rises up and allows oil out of the crankcase when under power.  
The local parts shop says the oil dip stick is out of stock and not 
available.  Does anyone have a lead on where to obtain a dipstick for a 
3GMD? Thanks.

Ed,
A few years ago, I changed over to 2 6 V cart batteries. .Bought them 
at AutoZone on sale.  Cost less than $150.00 for the pair.  They are going on 
to their 4th season and show no sign of deterioration.  They are more than 
adequate to run the boat + fridge with minimal engine run time.  I also have an 
80 Watt solar panel which helps as it puts out 2-2.5 amps on a good day.  I 
leave the solar panel hooked up over the winter and the batteries are always 
full.  You need either 2 or 4 batteries as they need to be run in series unless 
you go for the big amnp storage of 4, then both pairs in series and then 
parallel them together.

Stus-List Flexofold 2 blade 16 R)

 This was my first season with Celtic Fire a C  C
 35' MK III sailing on Lake Ontario.
 I have a folding prop Prop (Flexofold 2 blade 16 R).
 That does not open up all the way when the boat is moving,
 when this happens it creates a lot of vibration.
 This problem does not happen when I leave the dock and start
 from a standing still.
 I wonder if anyone else has experienced a similar problem
 and found a solution.
  Cheers,

Brian,
I have the same boat (35-3)and the same prop.  I rarely encoun ter the problem, 
however increasing revs briefly always solves the issue and is softer on the 
drive train than momentary reverse and then forward. I am sure you have noticed 
that it is wise to put the gears into reverse when sailing to avoid 
freewheeling which also can cause a vibration.  Hope you love your boat as it 
is one sweet sailboat.

I am purchasing a Lowrance chart plotter and depth sounder and like several

solid hull at or near the boats centerline? Is anyone using an in-hull

By the way, I would prefer Raymarine but the nearly $400 price difference

I have a Nexus depth sounder which is a thru hull and also, as a back up, have 
a second wireless depth transducer which is mounted inside the hull.  Both work 
fine.  If you mount it under the V berth near the centerline, it is not cored 
and should work well.
