Stus-List I Need a jib or genny

2019-06-06 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
I blew out my Genoa and need a temporary headsail while new one is being made.  
Anyone have an old jib or Genoa they’d like to sell?  Luff 45- 47 feet. 
Preferably 100 to 135 %.  Thanks. Jerry

Re: Stus-List Source for replacement lifelines in Toronto? Now general lifeline information

2019-05-13 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
I checked those regs and they now permit HMPE rope lifelines. 
“Lifeline Specifications
Lifelines of stranded stainless steel wire
Lifelines of either:
stranded stainless steel wire
HMPE
The minimum diameter is specified in table 8 below
Stainless steel lifelines shall be uncoated and used without close-fitting 
sleeving, however, temporary sleeving may be fitted provided it is regularly 
removed for inspection.
A lanyard of synthetic rope may be used to secure lifelines provided the gap it 
closes does not exceed 100 mm (4”). This lanyard shall be replaced annually
All components of the lifeline enclosure system shall have a breaking strength 
no less than the lifeline
When HMPE is used, it shall be protected from chafe and spliced in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.”___

A boat’s stanchion and pulpit bases shall be within the working deck. 
Stanchions used with High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) shall have rounded

Re: Stus-List Source for replacement lifelines in Toronto?

2019-05-13 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
From Practical Sailor.  “International Sailing Association and Federation 
(ISAF) Offshore Special Regulations give considerable attention to lifeline 
design. For boats over 28 feet, they must be a minimum of 24 inches above the 
working deck and be made of uncoated wire or the equivalent high molecular 
weight polyethylene rope (HMPE) like Dyneema or Spectra. If socket-type bases 
are used, through-bolting, welding, or bonding is mandatory. Socket mounts with 
set screws or self-tappers have been known to work free. When using 
high-modulus fiber lifelines, the type of splice used should be what the 
manufacturer recommends; versions of the Brummel splice are often the preferred 
approach for placing an eye in single-braid line.”  See full article at

Re: Stus-List Free 35'

2019-05-02 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Most of you are not familiar with marina fees in the NYC area.  Liberty landing 
charges about $300 per foot annual fees so a 35 foot boat costs $10,500 a year. 
  A C 35-1 with a non working motor is essentially worthless and with a lot 
of luck might bring $10,000.  The new billing cycle starts April 15 so the boat 
is essentially a liability unless it can be unloaded quickly. Giving it away is 
the best bet.  The owner probably got many calls about it and disposed of the 
boat and simply stopped answering inquiries. I doubt it was a scam.  Jerry

Re: Stus-List Antifreeze leak

If it was head gasket you’d see it in the oil. If cap leaked you’d see it in 
bilge or smell it. Heat exchanger hole just pumps it out with no tell tale

Re: Stus-List Gybe preventer, now Boom Brake

2019-03-17 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
I was a product safety lawyer for a number of years including autos and 
industrial machinery such as power presses. The number one rule is to never let 
the user be within a danger zone, for example hands should never be allowed 
under the ram of a press even if the operator tried to do so.  By extension, 
the boom should be high enough so that even on an uncontrolled jibe it should 
clear the head of all onboard (rather than clear them of their head).   
Moreover, the safety of a topping lift can be vastly enhanced with a rigid 
Vang. The wind at the level of the boom is not very strong compared to the top 
of the mast so if you are tall enough to be hit you are better off shortening 
the sail and raising the boom and adding sail higher up with more roach.  Jerry

Re: Stus-List Bring back C

Peter Johnstone is the new Owner of Alerion Yachts which he bought from US 
watercraft and I believe it included C I think they’re still making the 30 
one design in RI but with limited demand. There is one that races in my local 
fleet and flies downwind but is beaten by J109s upwind.  I agree that the new 
boats offer little more than the C of the past, especially in performance. 
They do have roomier interiors and cockpits with beam drawn further aft and 
hard chines and plumb bows.  Usually they have substantially more displacement 
for the same loa but there is no comparison in interior volume.  Th deep drafts 
of the C are a significant drawback for cruising. To many buyers.  They 
could not compete in price if they sold large boats. Look at Tartan and Sabre. 
The prices are almost twice that of Beneteau.  Jerry

Re: Stus-List Tablet for navigation

2019-01-19 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
The older less expensive iPads did not have gps. My friend has one and bought a 
plug in gps for it. You can now get inexpensive WiFi enabled gps or GNSS pucks 
that can interface to the iPad by WiFi or Bluetooth.  These are very nice 
because you can place them where satellite reception is optimal so even if you 
are below deck you get a clear signal. 
GNNS is also very nice because it utilizes US GPS as well as foreign systems 
and operates at 9600 baud rather than 4800. I have one plugged into my computer 
along with OpenCPN and it is fast and deadly accurate. 

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, and is the standard generic 
term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial 
positioning with global coverage. This term includes e.g. the GPS, GLONASS, 
Galileo, Beidou and other regional systems. GNSS is a term used worldwide The 
advantage to having access to multiple satellites is accuracy, redundancy and 
availability at all times.  Though satellite systems don't often fail, if one 
fails GNSS receivers can pick up signals from other systems.  Also if line of 
sight is obstructed, having access to multiple satellites is also a benefit.  
Common GNSS Systems are GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou and other regional 
systems.

Re: Stus-List Tablet for navigation

2019-01-19 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
What this discussion is missing is the distinction between stand alone gps and 
assisted or augmented gps found in most mobile or cellular devices. Mobile 
devices having cell service or internet provider can augment gps. If the mobile 
device has no gps and no cell service it can still get a position from WiFi 
connection.  These are usually called location devices rather than gps and will 
only work with internet or cell service within range.  If the device also has a 
gps or has external gps access it will work anywhere that gps signals are 
available which is just about world wide. As long as your charts are downloaded 
on the device it should work anywhere.  The following discussion is from 
Wikipedia. 

Standalone/self-ruling GPS devices depend solely on information from 
satellites. A-GPS augments that by using cell tower data to enhance quality and 
precision when in poor satellite signal conditions. In exceptionally poor 
signal conditions, for example in urban areas, satellite signals may exhibit 
multipath propagation where signals skip off structures, or are weakened by 
meteorological conditions or tree canopy. Some standalone GPS navigators used 
in poor conditions can't fix a position because of satellite signal fracture 
and must wait for better satellite reception. A regular GPS unit may need as 
long as 12.5 minutes (the time needed to download the GPS almanac and 
ephemerides) to resolve the problem and be able to provide a correct 
location.[2]

An assisted GPS system can address these problems by using external data. 
Utilizing this system can come at a cost to the user. For billing purposes, 
network providers often count this as a data access, which can cost money, 
depending on the plan.[3]

To be precise, A-GPS features depend mostly on an internet network or 
connection to an ISP(or CNP, in the case of CP/mobile-phone device linked to a 
cellular network provider data service). A mobile (cell phone, smart phone) 
device with just an L1 front-end radio receiverand no GPS acquisition, 
tracking, and positioning engine only works when it has an internet connection 
to an ISP/CNP, where the position fix is calculated offboard the device itself. 
It doesn't work in areas with no coverage or internet link (or nearby base 
transceiver station (BTS) towers, in the case on CNP service coverage area). 
Without one of those resources, it can't connect to the A-GPS servers usually 
provided by CNPs. On the other hand, a mobile device with a GPS chipset 
requires no data connection to capture and process GPS data into a position 
solution, since it receives data directly from the GPS satellites and is able 
to calculate a position fix itself. However, the availability of a data 
connection can provide assistance to improve the performance of the GPS chip on 
the mobile device.

Over the weekend I brought Touche' back home to Mandeville for the winter.  
Nice trip but a bit cold for my Southern blood.  Here's something I observed.
For those who rely exclusively on charplotters and electronic navigation, 
here's something you need to look at.  Go to Google Earth and enter the 
following in the search window:   30°18'2.24"N 87°37'34.10"W
That will take you to a marshy island in Portage Creek, a portion of the ICW 
near Orange Beach, AL.  That's where the GPS chartplotter showed the boat 
symbol representing Touche' was when Touche' was actually in the middle of the 
channel adjacent to island.  If I had been using the boat symbol for navigation 
and had been steering to keep the symbol mid-channel, Touche' would have been 
in the trees on the south bank of the ICW.
The GPS continued to show Touche' in the trees on the north bank during the 
entire transit of this section of the ICW.  Having navigated these waters 
dozens of times, I'm very familiar with them but a boater transiting here the 
first time in heavy fog
Once out of the man-made ICW the GPS returned to being fairly accurate.
Just saying, once again, how important it is to use your eyeballs and not rely 
on electronics exclusively for navigation.  Maybe it doesn't seem like a big 
deal when you're in a channel that is well marked but there are lots of areas 
with no marks, no land and seriously shallow shoals or rocks.

There are many inexpensive AIS receivers that send out WiFi nmea that you can 
use wirelessly on your Android with Open CPN and other programs.  The cheapest 
I know of is QK-A026 Wireless AIS+GPS Receiver

I use a laptop with free OpenCPN at home for planning cruises.  It has a full

into computer which gives me foreign satellite systems as well as US GPS.  It 
is remarkable at $19.95.  I also have a small Daisy AIS receiver attached $69.  
On my IPhone I have PlantoNav with cmap charts.  Works well. On my Android I

I had two gel cell batteries on my 27-5.  I took one home over the winter and 
put it on a smart auto trickle charger.  It was dead when I put it back on the 
boat.  The one I left was still working.  I replaced them with flooded and had 
no problems over the winter.  Flooded were a fraction of the price.  Jerry

 You should also be aware that there are different types of chemistry in

 charging AGM batteries, and at least one of those is pretty much identical

 the charger tells you to be sure to contact the battery supplier to 
 identify the exact type of AGM you are using so you can be sure to setup 
 the proper charging profile.
  
 Have you thought about going to Lithium batteries? A boater on my dock is 
 in process of installing 4 of them on his O’Day. Cost of the batteries is 
 about $300 each – which isn’t dramatically higher than good AGMs, His bank 
 will be between 400 and 500 AH (I forget exactly what he told me), but 
 with Lithium batteries you can use more than 50% of the bank capacity 
 without harming the batteries… you just need the correct charge profile 
 (and a higher capacity charger).

I raced on a T33 with Scheel Keel.  It was very competitive and easily sailed 
to its rating.  The T34 was the same boat with an extended stern.  A T28 with a

are 80’s boat not to be confused with the classic T33 of the seventies that had 
a centerboard.

Bayles Boat shop in Port Jeff is a community boat building shop well worth a

The Long Island Marine Museum in West Sayville is also worth a visit. 
https://www.limaritime.org/. And if you make it as far as Sag Harbor there is 
Whaling Museum and the town itself is an old Seaport with many yachts.  They 
have an active race fleet on Wednesday eves.  I am out in Montauk at the very 
end of the South Fork and the eastern most point in NY.  Probably too far for

In the US all that's required is a valid Ship Station license and a lifetime 
Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's permit. No testing required! The Ship 
Station license is good for 10 years and is non-transferable.  If you want to 
use the ham bands in US or Canada you have to pass an exam.  More info is 
available on the ARRL website.  You have to see if your radio will operate on 
the ham bands.   Jerry

Re: Stus-List Should I ditch the SSB

2018-08-13 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Marine SSB will connect you to many maritime nets for weather and safety 
reports as well as to the cost guard.  It will allow you to send email and 
position reports as well as receive weather gribs.  Most marine ssb radios will 
open to the ham bands and connect you to millions of hams and to marine 
maritime networks.  You will have to get a license for that.  Marine ssb will 
work anywhere in the world and is not dependent on satellites.  It is also for 
the most part free.  SSB also has DSC if new enough. 

Iridium is probably more reliable for communication with an individual but will 
not be heard by other boaters.  It is also still relatively expensive.  If your 
concern is calling home Iridium or similar service is far superior to SSB.  

You can communicate with the 
Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) to provide the communication 
support needed to implement the global search and rescue from either but your 
best bet here is a EPIRB.  

I have an Amateur SSB radio on my boat.  It consumes about 200 Watts (about 20 
amps) when transmitting.  Most marine ssb put out about 150 Watts but consume 
about 300 Watts (around 30 amps) when transmitting. Satellite phones use much 
less power usually under 5 Watts.  Many have their own rechargeable batteries.  

I guess the best way to look at it is comparing a modern VHF radio to a cell 
phone for near shore communication.

 Hi guys,
 
 Two of the eight wooden shims that sit in the aluminum shoe to hold the

 teak because I had some thick scraps that matched.  Now I'm wondering if I

 I did the same thing this offseason Chuck - fabricated a half-dozen 4&3/4” 
 x 1&3/4" x 1/4" teak shims to sit on edge in the mast box so I could 
 fine-tune the fore-and-aft position of my mast base (and I think I’ve got 
 it 1/4” too far aft this season).  Since I had Cetol Marine Natural Teak 
 and Gloss on hand from other brightwork projects, I just went ahead and 
 finished my shims with that.

All,


When I did my first Annapolis Bermuda race the crew of The Office wanted a 
digital compass forward of the traveler.  My cheapskate solution - my iPhone in 
a RAM mount running iRegatta with a long charging cable worked great (except 
for the text messages that popped up down the Bay).  It was replaced with a 
used plotter from a fellow C


I have ST60 gauges for wind, speed and depth over the companionway, but none 
display heading.  They are networked to my plotter.  


I don't want to spend for a TackTick or Prostart.  I know I can go to the phone 
and solar charger again, but is there a better solution?  I've looked for a 
waterproof digital compass, but I'm coming up empty.

If you are using a USB port you have to set up a virtual serial port.  Make 
sure the serial port is set to the proper baud rate for AIS.  This can be done 
via Open CPN.  Go to options- connections. Click add connection serial port and 
baudrate 4800, protocol NMEA 0183.  If no ports are listed you must create a 
virtual port using software the came with your ais receiver or download any 
virtual USB to serial software.  Jerry

Re: Stus-List 1983 C 35 mark 3 new purchase

2017-08-25 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
I owned a C 24, 29-2 and 27-5.   I just sold my 27-5 and bought a Hunter 37.5 
1993 with a friend.  We wanted a boat that had two private berths.  He is more 
of a cruiser and I like a performance boat.  We looked at a number of boats.  
My first choice was a Tartan 372 but we compromised on the Hunter.  It had a 
reputation for being a good sailor and the interior volume is enormous for a 37 
foot boat.  It has a compromised 5' wing keel.  I've sailed it all season and 
can say it is definitely not a C  Off the wind and on a broad reach it 
performs very well but does not point as well as a C with a fin. It has a J 
boat type rig.  Huge mainsail and small fractional head sail with a bendy 
tapered mast.  Sails are old and it needs some go fast upgrades such as a 
backstay adjuster, folding prop and rigid vang.  The aft cabin is huge and well 
ventilated.  And of course the price is well below a C of that era.  I'm just 
across Gardners Bay from Greenport and may stop by for the rendezvous.   Jerry

I originated this issue.


Remove the ICOM radio from my network and the GNX 20 displays  functions. Left 
it running for two days and went out for a sail.


We found some date on line that some N2K compliant radios are not fully 
compatible.


Now have to come up with something so the DSC function on my ICOM works.

Agreed with Paul - my n2k/AIS ICOM m506 displays GPS data from the n2k Garmin

turn off the instruments but not the gps.  


Similarly, the ais data provided by the M506 displays on The Raymarine i70 
display.  So, it works both ways.


This worked all last season as well, so if there was an issue it predates late 
2015/2016.  (Radio purchased Jan 2016) 


What does not work is getting the AIS data to via gateway to devices outside 
the wired n2k network.   Working on that.

The menu option to select an NMEA 2000 GPS source does nothing.

Apparently they had compatibility issues with different manufacturers' MFDs 
when designing the radio, so at the last minute they pulled support for 
obtaining position information via NMEA 2000. They have asked ICOM Japan for a

So caveat emptor. I would still recommend this radio, on the proviso that you 
are able to provide position info via NMEA 0183. Without it you will still get 
AIS on your plotter (but not the radio), but the radio will not be able to make 
GPS tagged DSC calls, which is obviously concerning.

It's advertised as a fully native NMEA 2000 device, but at this time it is not.

Re: Stus-List Honey - was RE: A C 39 that has not been trashed! Was C 39 trash project

2017-05-25 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Looking at the photo of the underbody the new keel is longer and more vertical 
than the old shark fin type keel.  This would both increase and bring the 
center of lateral resistance forward and increase weather helm.   The small 
rudder cannot handle this.   Bringing the center of effort forward would help.  
This can be done by moving the mast forward on its step and decreasing rake.   
Moving the headstay forward, as suggested would also help.   Higher aspect main 
with more roach might help as well.   Jerry

Maybe more than it could be sold for but definitely not more than it is worth.  
Worth is measured in more than dollars and the reality is that to take any boat 
and make it as it should be can be many thousands or tens of thousands more 
than the purchase price.  The only difference as I see it is that spending 
$20,000 on regular maintenance on a newer $250,000 boat seems more normal than 
doing so on an older $40,000 boat.  They are both still sailboats and cost the 
same to run.
 
Lavishing attention on our boats is often reward enough by itself and some may 
suggest that it is more rewarding to some of us than doing the same to people!

I have sailed and raced my 39TM at least 100,000 miles since purchase in 1975 
and even with the original rudder never suffered the round up issued mention 
earlier in the thread. However, in late 1976 C sent me a new and updated 
deeper rudder "free of charge" and the boat just simply sailed even better. 
Then in 2002, I had new high aspect rudder designed and built for Honey and 
improvement was beyond belief. Sadly, the maintenance, new UK sails & general 
upkeep over the last 4 years costs more than the boat is worth. I can honestly 
say that our C 39 TM has aged like a fine wine, after 42 years of owning her 
she just keeps getting better, I just wish that her value would increase as 
well.

 

I agree, the 39 is the prettiest of the hulls that C built and they built 
some damn good looking boats.

Stus-List Electric Powering Barient ST Winch

2017-04-22 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Has anyone converted an ST Barient winch to electric power. Any ideas on 
whether it can be done beneath winch?  I would like to motorize my halyard 
winch.   New electric winches are astronomically priced.  Jerry J

Re: Stus-List Eastern LI Sound / Plum Gut Currents

2017-04-11 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Ed. Best source is Eldridge.  You are interested in current, not tides.  The 
reference for current at Plum Gut is the Race, Long Island Sound.  Plum Gut 
runs about an hour earlier but this is reported in Eldridge.  The easiest way 
to use it is to use the current diagrams in Eldridge which show current after 
slack before flood and ebb for every hour.  This is very helpful for going 
through the Gut. You can also get current info from 
http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/6433.html or from NOAA 
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/currents12/tab2ac3.html#22. Eldridge is worth 
the small investment and the current diagrams are very helpful for entire Long 
Island Sound.  Don't confuse tide and current.  They are not always in synch.

Re: Stus-List Oil Pressure Gauge Install

Could you retap hole?  "GlowShift’s 1/8 NPT Drill and Tap Kit is perfect kit 
for anyone looking to drill and tap directly into the exhaust manifold or 
intake manifold. The featured 1/8 NPT Tap is used for tapping EGT probes and 
boost gauge fitting holes for gauge sensors that will deliver optimum results 
directly from the source. The size R high speed steel drill bit’s overall 
length is 4 3/4 inches with a 118° point that drills the perfect hole to tap 
into. The cobalt finish increases lubricity and chip flow and can be used in 
various applications."

If water is getting into cylinder that could explain the hard start.  When 
engine heats up water is turned to steam and engine will run but with steam in 
exhaust.  If water is getting into crank case you will see it in dip stick as 
honey like clumps.   You can often hear a blown gasket as well.  Jerry

good enough and easy to obtain if one is needed.  You don't need internet as 
the data is transmitted via amateur radio APRS HF frequencies.  You do need to

Hello all, 



I have a number of the plastic latches on our 1994 C 37/40+ that are broken 
and need to be replaced.


Does anyone know where I can get replacements?  



Ideally, I would love to replace all of them with something that does not 
require us to reach our fingers into the small holes to access the latch - 
those holes are just too small (and I don't have large hands).  



No reference to our commander-in-chief intended!  :^)  



That said, there is nice wood round trim surrounding the holes, so I'm not sure 
I want to tear those up either.  



Anyone have any ideas?  



Thanks!

The starter motor can be used for a load test. 

STEP 2 of 3

STEP 2 performs a basic load-test of the battery, using the vehicle’s starter 
motor. This test is done with the engine cranking. Use care to keep the 
voltmeter test leads from contacting moving or hot engine parts.

Tool required: Digital Voltmeter, set on DC Volts

Test Lead position: as shown in diagram above

While cranking, read the voltmeter. If the voltage reading is below the minimum 
listed in the following chart, replace the battery.

Be aware that other possible causes of low readings in this test are a failing

Re: Stus-List Mast Down - Need guidance on replacement of VHF cabling & antenna

2017-01-15 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
While LMR400 is significantly lower loss than say RG8x the limiting factor in 
VHF communications is still antenna height not power output.  For example the 
range you could expect for a typical sailboat with an antenna height of 64’.
d = 1.2246 ∗ √hf
d = 1.2246 ∗ √64
d = 1.2246 ∗ 8
d = 9.796 NM.  
If the other boats mast is the same height you get a max range of 20 NM.  That 
will not change if you use RG8x or LMR400.  

That said if price and cable thickness do not matter it may be the better 
choice.  On the other hand it is heavier and may be more prone to water 
tunneling because of the greater diameter.  LMR400 is more significant at 
mobile frequencies because loss is much higher in UHF and microwave 
frequencies.  Jerry

Re: Stus-List Possible Boom modification

2017-01-01 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Why not just shorten the leach on the main sail by about 6 - 12" and have the 
boom higher at the clew than at the tack.   That should clear all heads and 
avoid remounting the goose neck fitting.   You could add a new clew cringle or 
have the foot cut and original clew cringle moved up.   Should not cost very 
much especially since it's loose footed.   Jerry

Subject: Stus-List Possible Boom modification


Happy New Year to All!   I would like to get some advice on a modification I am 
considering for my C 34+.  I love the boat, but one thing that has concerned 
me from the beginning has been the boom height.  I am 6’3” and the boom in 
normal sailing position is at head height.  If I were to be standing in the 
cockpit (or even leaning forward at the helm) during an unexpected jibe or 
tack, I would be in serious trouble.  We had someone killed during a race in 
Fishers Island Sound last year in an incident of that sort.  So I am 
considering moving the boom a foot higher.  It looks like a fairly simple 
modification. I would have a new boom attachment fitting welded or bolted to 
the mast, leaving the old one in place.  I would have the sailmaker add 
cringles to create a new tack and clew attachment, leaving the old ones in 
place.  Since the main is loose footed, the extra sailcloth would just sit on 
the boom in the sail pack.  With those changes, it would be easy to reverse the 
alterations in the future. I don’t think anything else would have to be done.  
The only problem I can see is that I would be the only one who can reach the 
head of the main to attach the halyard, but I do that now so not a big deal.  
Thoughts?  Thanks- Dave

Re: Stus-List Fastening Jib Sheets

2016-12-11 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Bow lines should be tied in opposite directions on the sheets so that the 
smooth side is facing in toward the shrouds and will not hang up as easily.  In 
other words starboard sheet has smooth side point in from starboard and port 
sheet points in from port side.  That way knotty side does not hang up on 
shroud.   Jerry J C 27V.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (a common name for Title 
V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996) is a landmark piece of Internet 
legislation in the United States, codified at 47 U.S.C. § 230. Section 
230(c)(1) provides immunity from liability for providers and users of an 
"interactive computer service" who publish information provided by others:

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the 
publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content 
provider.

In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by this provision, courts 
generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three 
prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:

The defendant must be a "provider or user" of an "interactive computer service."
The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the 
"publisher or speaker" of the harmful information at issue.
The information must be "provided by another information content provider," 
i.e., the defendant must not be the "information content provider" of the 
harmful information at issue.

Its a Michigan Wheel Federal Line propeller.   See below.  Jerry


The Federal propeller line concentrates on the application specific custom 
design and manufacturing efforts. Federal features propellers ranging 12” to 
96” in diameters. Michigan Wheel is a propeller supplier to custom yacht 
manufacturers, production boat builders, and commercial shipyards around the 
world. For those that seek to optimize performance and efficiency, Michigan 
Wheel is challenged with expanding propeller design and analysis capabilities. 
Optimized propeller fit does result in increased speeds, improved cruising 
range and exceptional passenger comfort levels.


High end motor yachts, high speed sportfish boats, and military craft are 
challenging applications, and require sophisticated propulsion to optimize 
performance to design intent. 

The Federal propeller line is often the solution to maximize performance. 
Michigan Wheel engineers work directly with builder engineers and consulting 
companies, applying ever evolving, sophisticated propeller design codes to 
applications.

Re: Stus-List VMG at the helm.

2016-10-31 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Why no VMG?
Velocitek created the world's first GPS-based VMG tool back in 2006. VMG was 
also a prominent feature on the Velocitek SC-1, the ProStart’s direct 
predecessor. When several other companies around the world tried to copy the 
SC-1’s success they also included a VMG feature on their products. Velocitek’s 
tag line even used to be “Velocity. Made Good.”

The reason why we decided to drop VMG as a feature on the ProStart is that we 
couldn't find any professional sailors who used this feature while racing. The 
main reason the pros don't like to look at VMG when they are racing is that the 
boat's momentum makes it difficult to use these measurements to find an optimal 
heading.

As an example, imagine this: 

You are on a broad reach and then you decide to try pointing lower. Initially 
your speed will not change very much because of your boat's momentum. The 
indicated VMG will jump up (same speed as before, better angle). You are happy; 
the instrument seems to be telling you that soaking low was a good idea.

As you hold your course steady at this new angle, your speed will eventually 
drop and, as you are falling off a plane, the instrument will finally come 
around to telling you the truth: this new, deeper angle was, in fact, a very 
bad idea. 

The trouble is that by now you are losing boats like crazy and you're going to 
have to head way up to get planing again; the damage is done.
The above notwithstanding, these measurements can be useful for training, 
especially when you don't have other boats to sail against. A GPS VMG 
instrument can help you figure out what the optimal settings and angles are for 
your boat in different conditions. It's just that these things need to be 
figured out before you are actually racing.

Our goal with the ProStart was to make an extremely easy to use instrument that 
only incorporated the features that pro sailors use when they are racing. There 
is definitely a good justification for selling a VMG product as a training tool 
but the feature did not fit with our brief for the ProStart.

One product that is still on the market and does VMG calculation is the Rockbox 
by Rock City Marine. You can check out their website here:

Re: Stus-List Folding Prop won't open

2016-10-26 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
Funny - prop walk seems to be as little understood as sail drive.   I have read 
three different explanations - 1) the pressure on the water on the lower blade 
is higher (the deeper you go the higher the water pressure); 2) the angle of 
the prop shaft and 3) the upward and downward flow of the thrust.   Of all the 
last seems the most probable.  It is explained as follows:


Transverse thrust is of much greater significance when using an astern 
movement.  The helical discharge from a right handed propeller working astern 
splits and passes forward towards either side of the hull.  In doing so it 
behaves quite differently.  On the port quarter it is inclined down and away 
from the hull whilst on the starboard quarter it is directed up and on to the 
hull.  This flow of water striking the starboard quarter can be a substantial 
force capable of swinging the stern to port, giving the classic kick of the bow 
to starboard.

FWIW, I heard it explained that propwalk originates because the shaft is at an 
angle to horizontal.  The more angle the more prop walk.  Also, more surface 
area of the prop causes more prop walk.  Sail drives have the least prop walk 
because their shaft is horizontal, not at an angle.  Power boats with outboards 
have very little propwalk.  Powerboats with inboards and angled shafts have the 
most prop walk as their props are huge, too.

Propwalk is not a problem but a sideways thrust that if used wisely, can be 
very helpful at times.

When docking stern first, I get the boat moving where I want it and shift into 
neutral.  I leave the throttle at idle and shift into reverse just long enough 
to keep her moving.  To slow or to stop, I place the shifter into foreward only 
long enough to stop.  Impulse power vs warp power.

Hey guys, with all of the discussion on props it reminded me that I'm
having an issue with my 2 blade folding prop. Pretty sure it's the Martec
that you all are mentioning.
I continue to have issues with one blade not opening after we've been out
sailing. Once we drop the sails and go to engage the engine and prop it
fails to open one side and I get severe vibrations. Is this a normal thing
with these props? It truly makes me want to just get a fixed prop.
Unfortunately that's not in the budget right now though.
So far I've tried:
   - to come to a complete stop and try again
   - Kick it into reverse and then back to forward
   - short kick to full throttle.

The last time we were out nothing worked. We ended up limping along back to
our slip. Afterwards I checked it by rotating it from the inside and it
sounded like both blades would open when it was facing down because I heard
the clunk.
Occasionally it will open but it's not a first time thing. On departure
from the slip I don't have any issues, it's only when trying to reengage
the motor after a sail. It's really frustratin

Re: Stus-List Chart plotter problem

2016-10-03 Thread Jerome Tauber via CnC-List
If it's rf noise generated by the alternator it may be coming in through your 
GPS antenna as well as data or power lines.  If it is rf noise you should be 
able to hear it with a small AM radio held nearby (tune to around 1400 KHz).   
I still think your voltage regulator is suspect. When the battery reaches its 
maximum charge of approximately 14.2 volts, the regulator will then limit the 
alternator's output. The battery acts as a buffer so that may be what's causing 
the problem to sometimes not show with the engine on..   If the engine has been 
off for a while the battery voltage may fall in the 12's and it may take a 
while for it to overcharge into the 14's where your chart plotter may start to 
act erratically again.   When you turn off the engine it may take a few minutes 
for the voltage to drop back into a safe level.   You said you are measuring in 
the 14 volt range with the engine on.  If it is above 14.2 that would be 
suspect. Jerry  J7J

Some things to try:
1.   Run the plotter off its own battery. Little 6 ah AGM batteries are 
cheap enough if you don’t have a spare battery sitting around.
Given the intermittent nature of the problem, this would be challenging to do 
long enough to be definitive.  I am also not sure it will identify the source 
of the problem since it appears to be the power (see below).


2.   Put a scope on the DC bus to see what, if any, AC/noise is on the 
line. Include an engine start with this.
I don’t have a scope and have not used one.  What kind of device would you do 
this with?


3.   Disconnect the NMEA interconnection and see what happens.
As I said, when this happened last week, the NMEA input was disconnected from 
the chart plotter, so this seems to be coming from the power connection.  What 
is frustrating is that yesterday, I started the engine twice, once before and 
once after the race, and the chart plotter behaved perfectly and never beeped 
once.  Nothing was obviously different??

 

 

 


4.   Check the NMEA connection for configuration. Does the plotter send and 
receive data or just send? No need to have the NMEA input line connected if 
there is no data headed that way. 
5.   Put a laptop on the NMEA connection or run the diagnostic window on 
the plotter, if it has one, and read the raw NMEA stream to see if it is 
getting some odd data or any data at all if it should not be.
6.   Put ferrites on all incoming wiring.
7.   Check for ground loops and NMEA isolation*

This one is a bit tricky. First off, make sure the power supply and ground 
connections are at exactly the same place as your other electronics. Ground 
loops are bit complicated to explain and hard to find, but the short version is 
this step will eliminate some of them. Second is check with the manufacturer to 
see if your plotter NMEA connections are true marine standard opto-isolated. It 
is very possible to use direct wiring to NMEA data and not isolate it, my 
laptop/plotter does just that, but optical isolation prevents various stray 
voltage and ground issues from messing up the data.  Equipment is fairly 
resilient now, but back in the day an engine start could generate noise that 
would totally screw up electronics. Even now I will start an airplane with all 
radios and nav equipment off and then turn it on. I once was delivering an 
airplane that had a screwy alternator I had to switch off to use the radios and 
nav gear and then switch back on when the battery got low.
BTW – my boat is wired so the engine start battery is usually separate at 
engine start and has no effect at all on the electronics. They don’t combine 
until charging voltage is present for a few minutes. Is yours like that?
