Re: Stus-List Fuel
I also use about 3/4 gph running 5-6 knots at 2000 rpm (or sometimes slightly less depending on the chop and wind conditions). I am running the original Universal M35 but, despite high mileage, it has been maintained well and runs efficiently. I have a 2 blade, feathering Max Prop. Just as an aside, if the wind is pretty brisk and you can expect to be heeling at 20 degrees, and you should expect that if you have sails up and little crew, You should make sure you have more than 1/4 tank of fuel if you will be motorsailing (running the engine while sailing). If the fuel gets too low you run the risk of getting air in your fuel line when heeled and the engine could be impossible to restart until the system is bled. You can always remove and filter any fuel left in your tanks before you service them and re-add the fuel.

Re: Stus-List CC 37+ Propeller Boat Speed
Ogopogo has her original Universal 35 engine with a 16 2 blade Max Prop feathering prop. I easily make 7+ knots at about 2400 rpm in smooth water, usually 6-6.5 knots at 2200 rpm in our typical light chop.

Re: Stus-List Did you see the Dauphin island race disaster?
We had our CC out on the bay for DI Race. We had already finished the race and were headed back to Fairhope, just south of Middle Bay Light, when the storm hit. It was a tremendous. It struck quickly and winds were sustained 36-58+ knots for about 30 minutes. Naturally we had all our sails up and getting them down was a challenge but we did with minimal damage. I felt very confident that the boat would hold up just fine to the conditions, it was my crew I was most worried about! All came through just fine. Here is a video that one of the participants put together if anyone is interested. 57th Annual Dauphin Island Race https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByYHCPWZD-L5b0s0am1KN3l6Tm8/preview Tracy Hirsh Ogopogo 1989 CC 37+ Fairhope AL On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 9:42 PM, Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: I hope none of our CC buddies got caught in the mess. 2 confirmed fatalities.

Definitely vote list. I get to see every email under its own tab with Gmail and I chose which I want to read. Many times I am reading not because I have an issue but to learn a little more about my wonderful boat!

Stus-List Navtec pump service on Upper Gulf Coast
Good morning all. I remember a few months back there was some discussion about getting seals replaced or other servicing work done on the Navtec hydraulic pump. The consensus seemed to be that it was much cheaper and faster to get it done by the local hydraulic shop. My Navtec pump is leaking a little and my husband removed the unit last weekend to take it to a local place that we knew had worked on one from another CC in the past. The idea was just to have the seals replaced as it was still working fine, just dripping hydraulic fluid. Unfortunately, the shop said they couldn't take it apart because they were afraid to break it? Hmmm? Does anyone on the Gulf Coast have a place they like? Prefer someplace from Mobile to New Orleans but I am willing to go Pensacola to Fort Walton as well. Mailing it off is next option. I did look on the Lewmar website and that is a real maze! Found this: Where can I find some one to service my hydraulics or rod rigging?Please refer back to our agent list and the chart of service provided for the closest servicing agent. but not the lists they refer too! We were hoping to get this little project completed in the next couple weeks as the next race is Mar 7! We are already missing the February Sunday club racing and don't want to be out of commission too long! Thank you for any advice!

Re: Stus-List Awesome weekend coming - cruise alert!
Dennis, We are thinking about going over for the Blue Angels show in November too. We will likely go over that Friday though and raft up with the Cruising group from Fairhope Yacht Club. Would love to meet the Admiral and you if we get the chance. Its great to put a face to the name! Just in case you are interested, we are participating in the Double-Handed Race this Saturday, Oct 25, and the goDaddy Bowl Regatta next Saturday, Nov 1. Class winners in the goDaddy historically receive game tickets as well as t-shirts and trophies. Both races are hosted by Fairhope Yacht Club http://fairhopeyachtclub.com/ and run here in Mobile Bay. We usually have some transient space on the t-piers and would love to have you come and visit. Fairhope Visitor's Guide http://www.cofairhope.com/home/showdocument?id=1502 The club is within walking distance of downtown and there is something going on most nights right at the club.

Re: Stus-List CC 37/40 + Pricing
We just bought our 1989 CC 37+ CB this summer from South Florida. She was in beautiful condition and a thorough survey by a CC experienced surveyor found no major issues. Our electronics are fairly new and all systems are working well. Our sail inventory is good: 2 year old main, older but decent shape laminate 155, good condition dacron 135, worn out dacron 110, excellent symmetrical spinnaker, brand new North asymmetrical with ATN sock and never used ATN storm sail with cuff for furled sail. While the engine is original Universal M35, it has been well maintained and runs well. The canvas on the boat included navy sunbrella covers for everything (including a flat screen TV in salon) and a dodger with custom frame and bimini. Kato davits and an outboard hoist are mounted at the stern and the purchase included a 10' Caribe dinghy with 8hp Johnson motor. While we paid a little more than many of the other 37+ listed, $92,500, we wanted the CB version for Mobile Bay where we we spend most of our time club racing with the occasional longer race along the upper Gulf Coast or possibly to Mexico. We have been practicing in our club Sunday races since we brought her back in July (that was a fun trip too!). We raced our first local regatta last weekend and crossed the line 5th out of 38 boats. It should be noted that about half of those boats raced spinnaker - we did not. In fact, we didn't even bother to take down our dodger or bimini this time (taking down the bimini requires disassembly to get it off around the backstay) nor did we remove any of extra gear down below. We used the #2 and had a crew of 6 - 4 actually crewed, 1 took a nap and 1 keep beer and sandwiches available to all. Not bad for our first race. I expect that, when we decide to get a little more serious, we could be polishing a lot of silver! This is a fast boat. We are very happy with the layout, construction and performance of our new baby. It doesn't sound like the one you are looking at is in all that great of shape but not that bad either. Draft was very important to us but so was condition. We purchased a fixer-upper for the last boat and never quite found the time to do all the things we were going to. It had classic lines, raced well and was reliable but never was beautiful. Think about your available funds and time when you are making your decision. If you have the time and money to spend bringing this one back you will have a great boat. If you want to think about ones closer to where they should be: we looked at this one in St. Pete (WK with 5'11 draft) http://www.boattrader.com/listing/1989-C%26amp%3BC-37-102034453 A real deal could be had here. We also saw another CB on our delivery trip. It was, I think, a 93 37+ CB located in Factory Bay Marina, Marco Island, FL. It isn't currently listed but owner let us look at it with the couple with us on our trip. Not as clean but still good shape. Worth talking to him if you are interested in the CB model. Good luck whichever way you go - the 37+ is a fantastic boat and you will really enjoy it!

I am looking at a 1989 CC 37/40 +; 7.25’ draft; two spreader, so we are talking about the cruiser not XL or R, I am thinking still fast. Any how the boat needs new upholstery, all new running rigging, the traveler is stiff even though there is no load on it (mast is down.) I have not had a chance to look at the sails yet but the description list them as: Main (Sobstad, Dacron,) Good Condition #3 Jib(North, Dacron)Like New #2 Jib(Sobstad, Dacron) Good Condition #2 Jib (North, Dacron) Excellent Condition Cruising spinnaker with sock (North, Nylon) Good Condition So I am thinking I may have to replace the Main soon, there is no mention of a #1, Is that normal not to have a #1 on this boat? The boat has not been in the water for 7 years. The deck and hull seem to show normal wear as to what I would expect for a 26 yr old boat. The engine looks like it may have been overheated at some point. The teak and holly flooring in the salon area has been refinished and my understanding is that the boat was not covered the first year it was on the hard at the dealer and it filled the bilge and beyond with water and ruined the floors. So maybe I should be concerned with the hull If it froze. There are a large number of little repairs that need attention. Lastly the stern looks like it has been bumped a number of times so that rear edge needs repair. I have been watching this boat for 2 years now, just as I started a new business so buying a boat was out of the question four years ago. I have been sure that someone would come along and buy it. Once they move the boat inside to buff it out and give a good cleaning; made a repair or two,
