Re: Stus-List NY/NJ Racing in a 30mki

Brings back memories of Septima's transits through the canal when we were 
berthed in Lanoka Harbor/ Bayville just south of where you are now.  We did 
get caught in an outgoing tide rip current while heading north after a rain 
delay, fighting against being ridden into that super slow bascule bridge at 
the north end.  We were also trapped heading inbound when a lady bridge 
tender decided to close the horizontal lift at the southern end.  I guess 
she couldn't see us around the dog leg.  When we did appear she panicked and 
started to raise the span but we had to make three loops in that stupid 
canal while waiting for sufficient bridge clearance.  Gotta love the 
maneuverability of a keel boat: those metal walls are menacing.  Needless to 
say, the male bridge tenders all the way down were very prompt when we asked 
for lifts.


There was an active group of sailors from marinas from Barnegat to Toms 
River who cruised several times a summer and raced every Saturday.  The club 
was called "Windjammers".  You might find them still there.  The Bayville 
Marina was their epicenter and it had a great site that emptied into the 
Barnegat Bay just west of Island Beach State Park where the water is 6 to 8 
foot deep.  In those days Tom's River had a bar I had to scrape across to 
enter and Septima only draws 4'6".  Most race courses used the ICW marks 
just south of Cedar Creek and a tetrahedron or two.  Windjammers was an 
iInformal club with their own clubhouse provided by the marina owner.  They 
had a lot of Yacht Club type activities without the bother like Saturday get 
togethers after racing in an informal manner (BYOB and some snacks to 
share).  I plan to take Septima back there for my kids when I am too old to 
sail.

Thanks Edd, Alan, and Chuck for the suggestions.  She's currently on the 
Toms River, so Toms River YC could maybe be a possibility.  I will ask 
around my marina as well.


Chuck - We had an uneventful transit through the Manasquan inlet Saturday 
in a 3-4' East swell with a South wind about 15kts.  However, what I 
hadn't expected was the following current once inside.  It was ripping 
3-4kts as I pulled up to Hoffman's for our overnight slip.  That made for 
an interesting end to a long sailing day when the usually-open rail bridge 
between us and our slip snapped shut on our approach.


The Point Pleasant canal was no problem on Sunday as we timed it for slack 
tide.  I can imagine that canal turns into a washing machine though when 
the currents run.  The biggest problem I had in the narrow canal was 
keeping her steady when power boaters would go blasting by completely 
ignoring the no wake restriction.  The four bridge operators we contacted 
for openings to make our way to the Toms River were very helpful.

Lorne,
Our evaporator is vertical against the sink, but also forward on the inside of 
the box and the long dimension runs port-stbd. It's the way to go. Compressor 
is just under the settee forward of the stbd sink. You will have to cut a hole 
in the vertical fiberglass glass below the settee for the compressor to breath. 
Larger is better for compressor... And less attractive. Find a balance. I would 
do this on the portion facing forward and use a vent cover like this 
one.http://www.westmarine.com/buy/attwood--venturi-vents--P012_363_002_502 

Essentially this would be below/behind yours knees if you were sitting in that 
settee.  Overall it's a very clean and efficient installation. I believe other 
30-2 owners would have a similar installation. I'll grab pictures this weekend 
if I remember.

one/two on Genoa.  I too have adjustable cars and if we're overpowered, we'll

Re: Stus-List 1988 30MkII. When to reef?

2016-06-21 Thread allen via CnC-List
Lorne,

It all depends  What kind of sails are you carrying and how new they are.  
Septima originally came with a North Dacron 130 and main, both racing quality, 
and a full set of sail controls.  We quickly learned that with her beam and big 
butt that 18 degrees heel was near optimal.

We also learned that keeping her on her feet was achievable with the sail 
controls long before we had to reef the main.  With a good mechanical backstay 
adjuster ( I have the original for sale ) and multipart Cunningham you could 
flatten the main and take some sag out of the headstay.  Voila, back on her 
feet.  We used to race in a shallow bay (6 - 8 feet MLLW ) where the local wind 
picked up to 18 -20 kts in the early PM.  We never reefed, just used sail 
controls.

Later I converted to an Ulmer Tape Drive 140.  Sail weighed half of the North 
130 and did not stretch.  Weight aloft went way down and ability to carry sail 
as wind increased went way up.  However, by then we were on the eastern portion 
of LI Sound and the winds weren't so much.  Big Genoa was great for powering up 
through the chop.  Main still didn't require a reef.

Lesson learned early on:  Genoa is for power, main is for steerage.  Septima's 
wheel has a leather cover I put there.  Seams are placed such that rudder has 4 
degrees incidence when seams are TDC  (easy to measure when on the hard).  
Helm's job is to place appropriate seam TDC and communicate "feel" to main 
trimmer ( on Septima, me using Harkin Windward Car setup. )  If helm starts to 
load up, I drop the car an inch, if it lightens I raise car an inch, keeping 
the mainsail trim untouched.  Boat is fast, wake is smooth and other, larger 
boats wonder how you're going so fast.  The foils on our boats are symmetrical 
versions of well tested low speed aircraft shapes and you want to keep the flow 
attached.  The boat will "lift" to windward once you get the feel of her.

I now have a new UK 140 tape drive so we'll see how it does.  Haven't sailed it 
yet, but it is the engine so I expect we'll easily get to hull speed.

My impressions:  30-2s are initially tender, then stiffen.  Keeping the rudder 
in the water is good.  Oh, and surfing down wind is a lot of fun too.  We made 
up for a lot of upwind mistakes by overtaking boats down wind.

Best of luck.

Subject: Stus-List 1988 30MkII. When to reef?


I've been sailing for about 1.5 years on a 13' hobbie and WW Potter P15.  My 
30MkII is my 1st real boat of any size and weight. I have not sailed it yet.  
I'll be heading out for my 1st sail about 1 July.


When do you 30MkII owners start reefing above what wind speed?  I believe the 
30MkII is "tender", but have also read it is pretty "stiff" so I'm not sure 
what to believe.  I'm not a fan of heeling yet, gets me a tid bit nervous, but 
not as much since taking ASA 101,103/104 last month.


I have heard the 30MkII is pretty good carrying a lot of sail in light wind and 
moves well.  I just needs to be reefed earlier than many boats to sail flat.


What is considered decent wind for a 30MkII?  I fully understand that it is 
based on skill.  In my ASA classes, we put in a reef in at about Beaufort 6/7 
in Corpus Christi Bay, TX.  The boat was a 35' Benatou.  We had a great time 
with no worries.  Will a 30MkII be similar, or very different due to the 5 foot 
less, less beam, and probably much less ballast?

I'm going over my survey which I was not present for.  I'm 2000 miles  from my 
boat at this time... But the survey person said my throttle is reversed.  How 
would I fix this?  Is it likely backwards on the helm side or on the engine 
side at the carburetor /throttle valve?  Why would the PO have it reversed to 
begin with? 
I'd like to know in advance of me arriving so I know what kind of task I have 
ahead of time and tools/parts I might need.   I need to sail away within a day 
of arriving to pick it up and would have one day to repair /reverse it to 
correct direction ASAP.

Re: Stus-List 30MKII Screens in the ports?

2016-06-16 Thread allen via CnC-List
I was referring to the smaller rectangular units.  Their aperture is small 
enough, but the screening cuts the flow to almost nothing. 

The companionway screen is large enough to admit a decent amount of air while 
keeping outs birds, bees and assorted flying insects.

Re: Stus-List Adjustable backstay?

2016-06-03 Thread allen via CnC-List
Jake's pretty much right on.  You should have a baby stay that will secure the 
mid point of the mast in space allowing backstay adjuster to bend the mast aft 
and flatten the main. 
Primarily you're looking to increase forestay tension.

Your adjustable backstay is used to control forestay tension.  You probably

may flatten your main a bit too.

Finally resolved fuel tank problem.  I had local vendor Howdy Bailey (Norfolk, 
VA) construct an all new replica out of 3/15 x .160 Marine grade aluminum.

He delivered to Septima Saturday and we maneuvered it down into the aft cabin 
and into its matching tray.  Perfect fit.  We'll hook it up this week after I 
get the material I'm going to use to isolate tank from the tray.

Here's pictures of old tank.  Corrosion begins where tank sat in salty

Septima has two tanks; one under starboard settee, one under the vee berth. 
A little over 42 gallons.  I added a bladder tank behind the port settee 
plumbed to the head so we get a fresh water flush and no stinky bay water in 
the head.  Offshore I can change over to ocean water to conserve fresh 
water.  Used only for the head, it's only about 10 gallons and it's useful

There is often confusion between imperial and american gallons, and 
sometimes litres. I used to prepare daily cost analysis reports first 
thing in the morning, and the last thing to do before printing it off and 
handing it to the bosses was what we called the "sanity check" - do the 
numbers make sense.


78 imperial gallons of water weighs 780 pounds.

On the other hand, 78 litres is equivalent to 20.6 U.S. gallons, which is 
a pretty common size.

Re: Stus-List Wing Keel Lift?

2016-04-30 Thread allen via CnC-List
Lorne,

If it's in good shape, buy the boat.  The foils on the keel and wing are 
optimized for lift to drag ratio at hull speeds.  The boat sails well at four 
degrees incidence angle and you can feel yourself being lifted to weather on as 
beat.  The winglets are mounted well above the foot of the keel so you won't 
increase your draft by heeling.  Boat flies at 18 degrees heel, steering by the 
main with rudder (helm) setting the incidence angle.

Should I have more heavy stuff at the back of the boat for increased angle of

Or..
don't be silly.. its a 8,000lb boat going 5 knots.  It does nothing.

I too have investigated possibilities to replace missing characters off the 
nameplate.  I have worked with Kay Cushing and her magic laser machine.  We 
have replicated the characters "C", "O", "&" and the spear, all cut from 
cast smoked acrylic window remnants.  All the remaining characters are 
variants of the one we've already created.  They can be attached with 
acrylic cement which will fuse the pieces to the base.


You can contact Kay directly with her email above or by calling 562

She also did a great job Laser engraving a replacement plaque for my

Well, I've got what I consider a reasonable quote for the nameplates.  I can 
supply them in black UV resistant polycarbonate for $75 each side plus 
shipping..  That includes everything including the NRE (non-recurring 
engineering charges).  The NRE is basically CAM charges).  I need to know who 
is interested.  I suspect I can  have them in about a week.  If there are 
similar nameplates for other C models, I can entertain getting them as well.  
I don't know if I can get them in stainless steel, but if possible it will be 
quite a bit more expensive because of the small radii of some of the cuts.  A 
1/16" cutter moves very slow in stainless 
So let me know if you are interested.

That's a great price on a ladder.  The pic shows a clip over the hinge that 
would prevent the bottom from swinging past straight, but I can't tell if it 
locks.  The rungs may be uncomfortable at an angle, but something could be 
added to help that.  I'm interested too.

Re: Stus-List LED Nav Lights

2016-04-02 Thread allen via CnC-List
I tend to agree because the lamp is listed as AS 904-02200 festoon bulb in the 
owner's manual whereas the fore deck lamp is a 904-00234 halogen bulb.  Now, 
who's seen the top of the mast anchor light which is listed as a Guest M7030?

They haven't been making these for a long time and the bulb is listed as 1004 
bulb.  That's no help.  If there's clearance up there I'd rather replace the 
whole unit with another Aqua Signal 25 unit.

That is not the LED you want for your steaming light.  Certain Aqua Signal 
Steaming Lights (such as the Aqua Signal Series 25 Masthead / Foredeck 
Navigation Light) have a second light built in that is used as a flood light 
for the fore deck. 


An example is here on the Defender site: 
http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1%7C65136%7C2709015=64986



The LED you have linked is the LED that replaces the incandescent bulb in that 
fore deck flood.


Assuming you have and Aqua Signal Steaming light on your boat, the LED you want 
for the steaming light portion of the fixture is probably this one:

So far the completion list for this spring is:

2.  LED interior lights (dual red and white in main fixtures)
3.  Added a second bank of group 27 batteries (and added a fuse to the original

4.  New cushions ordered and due before launch.

Before launch I still need to replace the fuel filter and water pump impeller.  
Still looking at replacing the navigation bulbs with LED.

Our boat was re powered in 2000 with a different model of Yanmar and some

Sorry to hear of Gladys' misfortune.  Same thing happened to my mate on Block

it's a spiral fracture. Sande needed to have hers re-broken and reset after we 
returned from the cruise.  No fun.  

Also, plan on extensive rehab/physical therapy.  Sande underwent 18 months

Well we planned on leaving Florida the first part of April, but due to 
unfortunate circumstances, we have to delay going home.

Thursday night, Gladys was out walking and happened to slip off the pavement 
inside the resort.  After almost 8 hours in emergency, they told us she had a 
broken wrist.  It looked serious enough that we had to book with an orthopedic 
doctor as soon as possible.

Today was the appointment and tomorrow is the surgery.  She is having a 
permanent plate installed in the wrist.  Follow-up checks should last 4 weeks 
and then we can start thinking about going home.

Even though we are covered by insurance, the hospital and doctors bill us and 
we submit the claims.  But the surgery was money up front.

If you want to order C vinyl decals or a new C burgee, you will have to 
wait until we get home.

looked into it and wound up buying a Gori 3-blade for our 30-2 as well.  It’s a 
unique design where the blades reverse, providing full performance in reverse 
as well as a 2nd more aggressive pitch for cruising.  It eliminated our prop 
walk and has performed very well for us.  Lower drag when folded compared to 
the MaxProp.  No connection to any of the companies, but thought I would add 
another name to the search list.

David,

When I first raced Septima I was getting 7 seconds over the deep keel 
versions.  I looked at the PHRFs a couple of years ago and found that I am 
now giving 3 seconds.


A clean bottom makes all the difference.  With a Martec folding prop Septima 
will fly up to windward so covering a shorter course doesn't hurt either.

As promised.  Looks like the paint on the raised portion is all wore off.  
But aside from that they are in pretty good shape.

Dimensions are 19 3/8" X 2."  Also the bottom edge appears to be about  
~1/4' thicker than the top.

Second that wish.  May we all enjoy a joyous and safe holiday season and look 
forward to a new year full of good health and prosperity.

Only 78F here in NE NC, but we'll break 80F today for sure.  Hope to get up to 
Septima in VA with the grandkids this weekend for the latest sail we've ever 
had.

Year bring joy, fair winds and smooth seas.


80+ F here today.  Just can't wrap my mind around that.  Lake forecast showing 
9-10 knots.  Sounds like a good sailing day here in south Louisiana.

Re: Stus-List Route Planning and Uploading to Chart Plotter

2015-12-24 Thread allen via CnC-List
Yes there is.  The US Power Squadron dropped CAPN for OpenCPN in their Senior 
Navigator Course.  I was partially completed in the course when my cataracts 
worsened and made fine work difficult.  I suspended course work until I was 
able to get Lasik surgery on both eyes.  

Now I have the option of reloading my older version of CAPN and completing the 
original course or upgrading to OpenCPN and following the new course. Having 
taught all squadron courses, I am partial to 
ComputerizedAmericanPracticalNavigator.  I was one of their first users, but 
it's gotten so complex and the functionality is being contested by many other 
technologies.  I don't want to go down a failing path.  Costs more in the long 
run.

So, cheap is good...

  Being the cheap SOB that I am, I run OpenCPN on my laptop, but I have never

  Voyager does not look like it runs independent of the plotter - for that you

Hi Allen, 
 With the grey Plexiglas, the black looks very nice.  I can't imagine using 
white, personally.  There are two shades of gray (2064 and 2074).  I chose the 
darker color (2074) and really like it.

  For those who were following my post on bonded windows on High 
Maintenance, I have an update and many thoughts on the project enumerated 
below.  I have successfully installed two windows on the starboard side and 
replaced the acrylic on all the hatches and can say that the project has been 
very successful.  I have terminated my project at this point as the 
temperatures are now too low for the VHB tape which requires a temperature of 
greater than 60 degrees F for application.  Here are my observations:



  #1.  Plexus is evil stuff and should not be allowed on a boat.  It is too 
hard and tenacious a bond.  Because fiberglass and acrylic have such a 
different expansion coefficient, fracture of the acrylic is assured.  Removing 
the stuff is impossible without destroying the gel coat underneath.  I tried a 
sharp blade between the fiberglass and the acrylic and all I managed to do was 
rip up the gel coat.



  #2.  Before removing the windows, make a template out of some thin 
plywood (or other material) because the window will (no doubt) come out in 
pieces and you will have nothing as a reference for making the new windows.



  #3.  I finally was successful removing the acrylic with a 5/8” router bit 
set to a depth equal to the thickness of the acrylic plus the thickness of the 
Plexus.  I actually used a Roto-Zip instead of a router as it had a smaller 
footprint and was easier to handle.  I free-handed the router to cut through 
the acrylic and into the Plexus.  It’s risky but effective.   Don’t cut all the 
way around the perimeter, but leave tabs to support the window.  Otherwise, the 
window will sink under the weight of the router and you will cut into the gel 
coat.  You can break out the tabs later.



  #4.  Once the windows were out, I used West System epoxy thickened with 
low density filler to repair any damage to the gel coat.  Fortunately, all my 
gel coat damage was limited to the area under the windows.  Once the windows 
are out and the damage is repaired, the rest is fun and easy. 



  #5.   I cut the new window out of 3/8” Plexiglas using a pattern router 
bit (sometimes called a Formica trimmer).  I used masking tape folded in half 
lengthwise to stick the new Plexiglas

I mounted two small wooden blocks to the masking take below the window with a 
small piece of VHB tape.  By attaching it to the masking tape, I was sure I 
could get it back off.  Actually, VHB doesn’t stick very well to masking tape

Yes, I pulled mine out for a pattern and took it to my trusty glass shop that 
also does plexi. (They also do fancy cuts on table top class). They recognized 
the material right away and supplied me with a perfect replacement. It has only 
been in 6 months but so far so good.

they want $325 for a single lens.   Or has anyone made their own replacement 
lenses?  For the most part they look like 1/2" grey acrylic 15-1/4" x 8"  with 
a routered gasket groove on the inside.  Making the groove would seem tricky.

All, 


Last weekend we did a 4 day charter on a Leopard 39 out of Miami.  First time 
sailing out of Miami, in the Keys, on a charter or a cat!


It was one of the best vacations we ever had, despite a lack of wind much of 
the time!  Went from Miami to Key Biscayne to Key Largo mostly in the Bay and 
then back on the ocean side.


The Leopard is an interesting boat, with all lines lead to clutches and winches 
at the helm.  One winch is electric.  It is surprisingly heavy at 20,000 
pounds, and needs 10 knots to sail at a reasonable speed.  it was great having 
all of the living space on one level.  Our boat had a generator, so we A/C on 
the hook - a real luxury!


Not a boat I would own on the Chesapeake, but a great charter!

If you are unable to get proper luff tension when raising the main, and you 
suspect the cause may be the tension on the leach of the sail, then the problem 
is most likely that you have not loosened the mainsheet (or vang if you have 
one) sufficiently before raising the sail. The weight of the boom shouldn't be 
a problem.

 

As Dennis pointed out, the topping lift causes a lot of wear on the leach of 
the main. And as Lee pointed out, it's major effect when sailing is to negate 
any adjustments you do make to the mainsheet and vang, and to screw up tacks in 
light air. On my 25 (where the end of the boom is only about 2 feet ahead of 
the backstay) the topping lift spent probably a third of its life wrapped 
around the backstay and giving me fits. I was really glad to get rid of the 
verdamte thing.

 

Josh said the topping lift might be useful to let the main twist off when 
slightly overcanvassed. You can accomplish the same thing by slightly loosening 
the mainsheet or the vang (if you have one); the pressure of the wind will  
increase the twist. Conversely, if you want to flatten the leach while not hard 
on the wind, tightening the mainsheet will pull in on the boom while it pulls 
down on the leach - which may not be optimal. The vang will control the leach 
tension independent of boom position, so you can use sheet and traveler to 
adjust the position of the boom.

 

When reefing, releasing the rigid vang will raise the end of the boom ( and you 
won't need to stand on the cabin top or side of the cockpit to do the 
adjustment). And when you are done setting the reef, a pull on the vang will 
tighten up the leach and adjust the twist of the sail.

 

I have Garhauer rigid vangs on both my boats, and no topping lifts. Main 
halyard gets attached to the end of the boom and snugged against the vang when 
the sail is down to stop halyard slap and to keep the boom from rocking side to 
side. I am a very happy camper.

Realized that I made an error - I was not referring to the leach, I actually 
meant the luff (sorry - my nautical terms are not.
Sail is hard to hoist fully to get the luff tight.  Maybe if I raised the boom 
with the topping lift it would be easier to fully hoist -- which would then 
mean I would need to go back and loosen the topping lift every time.  I'll have 
to play with it a bit.
Same I guess when I reef - raising the boom with the topping lift would make it 
easier to snug down the reef point.  The rigid vang would save the extra step.

Thanks for all the info.  I'm tempted to go with the Garhauer rigid vang, get 
rid of my topping lift completely - but I'll need to decide if that makes it to 
the top of my list or not.

  If you keep your topping lift, you need the ability to slack it off quite a

Thinking about projects for the boat. 
I definitely need a new main sheet system - and expect I'll go with 
Marek's Garhauer suggestion.  But that then raises the idea of a rigid 
boom vang - If I'm going to buy one in the near future it's better to 
combine shipping. 
I'm not racing, and rarely use the existing vang (except for downwind to 
hold down the boom).  Currently boat is set up with a topping lift 
(which need to be replaced due to wear) 

I never adjust my topping lift - I have it set so it's slack when the 
sail is fully hoisted, and then when the sail is dropped it comes taut a 
few inches lower

With appreciation to those actual rocket scientists on the list, this

I second Jim Watts’ recommendation of a Day/Night Solar Vent. Though I 
haven’t used them myself on the Enterprise, I’ve heard of others having great 
results with them.  


The one caveat I’ve heard, in order to really get the benefit, is that you 
should install two; one towards the front of the boat pulling air in and 
another towords the back blowing air out. This will create an air flow that 
will keep the boat fresh. 


I’m going to do it one of these days, though I’m not sure if I can bring 
myself to drill holes in the deck.  




All the best,

Hi Dan, 
I keep Pegasus at Shilshole.  Come on by if you are in the area. To 
answer your question. The vents sit atop a Dorade box. It has a stand pipe off

holes in the side of the box. There are also caps that replace the vent scoop.

I'll make it sailing related. being nearsighted as well, I have 'split 
vision' contacts. One for reading (almost) and the other for distance. But, 
this screws up sighting the distance to marks, because the perspective is a bit 
off.

 

But, as you 'young 'uns' get a little older, the distance problem gets a bit 
better and the reading problem gets worse, so both of my lenses are getting a 
bit weaker which is helping the perspective problem, however, my reading 
problem is getting a bit worse. I dread the day when I won't be able to read 
the chart or chartplotter without reading glasses. Then, I may have to rethink 
this whole deal.

 

In the meantime, I can get by with 'readers' from the store and 'regular' 
sunglasses. So, the losing problem is less costly (as I dump the sunglasses 
every so often into the drink or break them, and lose so many readers that I 
buy them in bulk). One on the workbench in the shop, one at my desk, one at the 
model boatbuilding bench in the basement and one by the TV, so I can read the 
listings and the fine print in the newspaper.

Re: Stus-List Surfing CC hulls 37R, plus or XL?

I can't speak for 37R or XL models, but the 30-2 is another contemporary Ball 
design that caries her beam well aft.  We used to surf easily on the wavelets 
that formed easily in Barnegat Bay NJ where the average depths were 6 to seven 
feet and the heat machine built winds up to 20 knots for the second race every 
Saturday.  Made up a lot of lost time going downwind that way.

The 35 MK I does not come close to planning like a modern sport boat. 

The best I have done in flat water is 11 knots boatspeed with 50-60 knots 
on the stern and the working job up. At that speed the stern is sunk nearly to 
water level. In any kind of the waves the boat will surf/plane DOWN the waves, 
but you drop speed on the upside. Max speed I think I have ever seen is 15-16 
knots surfing down 20 footers . The only CC I have ever seen plane like a

Not a definitive analysis, but my recollection is that the older CCA type

later IOR influenced hulls, which were better upwind than the older boats. 
However, it would be interesting to hear from owners on that subject.

I never knew Eric was in the kitchen business.  After I and a bunch of

Architectural Millwork company and two years later a kitchen cabinet 
manufacturing and remodeling company. We ran those two for 20 years, quadrupled 
their size and sold them to retire on our trawler.  And we did a few boat

winning races on Lake Rathbun, in SE Iowa.



We are docked at the Naval Air Station Marina in Jacksonville, FL where 
Ann has been undergoing tests at Mayo Clinic.  As I look out into the mooring 
area I can see the distinctive lines of a CC 35 MK I.  A few docks is a 
Landfall 38.  It is amazing how many CC's we see as we travel up and down the 
ICW each year.  They are still the best looking boats on the water !

  Fwiw I've tried sticking led puck lights in my lazarette on our 30-2 and 
couldn't get anything to stick there either. I just finally gave up and stuck 
the adhesive with super glue from our med kit.

  I also stuck one on the underside of our helm seat so that we can more easily 
connect our shore power when we come in after dark Which we do quite often, 
especially after dark in winter.

  I am curious, did you connect the led s in lieu of the florescent fixtures 
located there or adjacent to them? I would be curious to hear what you've done 
for switching if it was the latter.

  The trick to backing with a Martec folding prop is the throttle.


  My Martec will stop my 15000 pound 38 from 2 or 3 knots in about a boat 
length. Shift into reverse and boost the throttle to about half (1200 to 1500 
rpm in my case). The revs hold the blades open and she will stop as well as she 
did with the 16x10 fixed prop.


  I back into my slip. Going forward, approach from perpendicular to the slip 
centerline and a couple of boat lengths off the outer piling. Turn out to 
intersect the slip centerline, shift to reverse and throttle up. When the boat 
has good stern way, shift to neutral and use the rudder and momentum to back 
into the slip. A blip of power in forward to stop, and then scurry forward to 
get the bow and forward spring line attached to the boat, then slow reverse to 
hold the boat into the slip and use the prop walk to hold her against the dock.


  Heck, now that I think of it, the only time I have the boat in reverse at 
idle is when I'm using the prop walk to bring the stern over to a pier or to 
turn around in a tight fairway.

Before going in the water this Spring I replaced all the  waste hose and 
ran thru the vanity in head.  This week I had to rebuild the par shower 
drain pump so I had to remove that.  My question:  Can the head sink be 
removed to allow access?  Working thru the small vanity door is an 
absolute BEAR.  I have been reluctant to try and put the pump back, only 
because it is such a pain.  I was even thinking of cutting the vanity 
wall out, including the little door, and then reglassing when finished. 
But I know what that would look like.  Thanks for any advice.  Dan Mc on

Message-ID: 002201cfa9bc$779960c0$66cc2240$@shelqu...@comcast.net
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I recently had a mid-distance race in which a majority of the race was 
tight
reaching in flat water, 10-15 breeze.   We had our heavy #1 up.  A number 
of

boats (CC39, CC38, Sabre 36, Tarten Ten) worked up on us pretty well in
those conditions.   I obviously need to trim the sails differently and am
looking for suggestions.



We mostly eased the sheet and moved the car forward, but we did try 
barber

hauling.  We did not try bringing the clew right out to the toe rail.



Any thoughts or suggestions is appreciated.



Thanks,



Pete

How much backstay?  How much babystay?  How tight was the outhaul and
halyards?  Speed bubble in the main?  How much heel?  How much rudder? 
How
much weight on board?  Crew hiking out?  When was the bottom last 
cleaned?
What type of paint?  You might need to come off the wind just a few 
degrees

and/or let the sails breath just a bit.

At 10-15 kts you should have been able to reach hull speed...~6-7kts.  If
not then something was wrong.  You might even want to consider a #2 if 
you

were being blown over too much.

As you can see there is just no simple answer.  Keep racing

It was a tough regatta.  On Friday the wind died during our first and only race 
of the day.  One boat managed to drift across the finish line.  The

rest of us were TLE.   Several of the boats drifted downwind of the finish 
line, but couldn’t make it across the course to finish.  It was ugly.



Day two had us running a 12nm distance course with mostly reaching and running. 
 Being the shortest boat in the fleet, we were seriously short of waterline.  
We managed a third place finish.  Finally on Sunday we had decent wind and 
managed two bullets in 7-10kts of wind.  That won the regatta for us (by one 
point)   Nothing like pulling it out of the fire at the last minute…

Congrats to Jake Brodersen and crew for taking first in the non-spin class once 
again!  They only got in 4 of 9 planned races due to light (or no) winds the 
first 2 days, but 2 bullets on Sunday put them in first.

Re: Stus-List Set up of shower in Cockpit

2014-07-22 Thread allen via CnC-List
Septima's cockpit shower  is plumbed with fresh water as Rick suggests.  The 
shower is located in the walk through on the starboard side, under the 
removable helm seat.  The plumbing runs though the adjacent locker and under 
the cockpit sole directly to the fresh water feed and hot water heater.  We use 
it primarily for rinsing off after swimming, not full showers, although we have 
used it to cool down on extremely hot days so the location is handy when 
reboarding via the transom ladder..

The spot I used was originally the hook up for shore power, but I got tired of 
bending over to unscrew the cover and plug in the electric plug.

Question 1 is whether your engine is raw water cooled or fresh water cooled. 
Raw water cooling means water from outside the boat is clumped through the 
engine block for cooling, then mixed with the exhaust to cool that, then 
expelled back into the lake. If your engine is raw water cooled, the thermostat 
is probably 160-165 degrees so it may be too hot for your project, and 
diverting cooling water away from the exhaust may cause the hoses to melt.


If your engine is fresh water cooled, there is antifreeze in the engine, which 
is probably routed to the heating coil on your hot water heater and then to a 
heat exchanger (which is sort of like a water-to-water version of the radiator 
in your car) where it is cooled by contact with water drawn in from outside the 
boat. After taking the heat from the engine coolant the outside water is mixed 
with exhaust gasses to cool them and then expelled overboard. The raw water out 
of the heat exchanger is probably 110-120 degrees, but you would not want to 
overheat the exhaust.


Your best bet would be to purchase a cockpit shower kit with a mixing valve and 
then plumb it to draw cool water from your water tank and hot water from the 
water heater. Your problem the would be how much fresh water your tanks can 
hold and how long a shower you intend to take.

  I wanted to run a thought by the list to see if my thoughts to install a 
small handheld shower in the back of the cockpit for rinse of and showering at 
the area of the wheel are feasible. My positive reasons for this is extra room 
and ease of draining and overall cleaning. I am considering connecting to the 
input hot water line before it enters the water heater coming from the engine. 
The boat is on fresh water , hence I would have unlimited volume of water 
available, I assume the water would be pure and clean even though it has gone 
through the engine cooling (heating) system, I also assume the temperature of 
the water to only be in the 110 degree level at best, and there is a 
recirculating pump (that normally recirculates the water from the engine 
through the heat exchanger) that can power the water to the shower wand.  So 
where is my thinking flawed?

Stu (and any Listers who may be interested), 


You may want this document on the Photo Album site which may be of use to 
others — it’s a diagram of the CC 37+ (and XL) centerboard. I’m told that the 
34+ and XL centerboard models are very similar. 


https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15162917/ENTERPRISE/centerboard.pdf 


Also, a correction on the site:  Under CC Owners Homepages, could you change 
my link to www.starshipsailing.com? Also, the Enterprise isn’t a 37/40XL, but a 
37+ (or 37/40+)


Lastly, I have some photos of the 37+ interior and “Dock Photos” if you want 
them. What is the best way to get these to you? 


Thanks for all you do. 





All the best,


Edd
