An interesting post, as I am considering how and where to install the long
tracks I got to upgrade our 35mk2. So the small inner track allows one to
trim the genoa with more curve by bringing it inboard in lighter wind?
Currently, my genoa uses a block on the toerail, and the jib uses the
factory track, which is almost at the cockpit coaming. So by moving the
genoa sheet to the track, I should be able to get more curve? I will have
to try this. I can see the lifelines might be an issue though, as they can
be when running closehauled with the genoa on the toerail.

Welcome Larry,
I don't think the email server can handle pics but you got away with it.

My understanding is the following:
The long Genoa track is for the #1s and #2 if you have those.  155% down to 
120%.  It is the track you will use most of the time and has an adjustable car. 
 The short track inside of this on the cockpit coaming is to sheet those same 
genoas in lighter wind when you want more curve, and sheeting to the longer 
track makes the sail too flat.   The forward track is for smaller headsails 
like a #3, #4, 110% down to storm jib. 

Google "Barberhauler"  and you will see some ways to change the lead without 
undoing the usual sheets.

Hey guys,

It is little wonder people get frustrated and 
leave when this list looks more like a chat line 
then a problem solving, albeit somewhat humourous 
at times (damn, I miss those days). As an old 
codger I can say the quality of discussion 
degraded when people started getting their email 
message (and replying) on the G*d damn phones. 


Anyhow, to the point. The subject line needs to 
be change when you drift away from the main thread content.


And if your email client puts [EXTERNAL] or 
something like that in the subject line then 
please strip that as it screws up a "sort by 
subject" action... but bless you for checking the list during work hours :)


Below is an example of a badly presented reply 
that needs to be cleaned before being sent. It is 
not meant to single out Rod.  (note phone source, like, who cares?).


Best regards, Russ

I used the key way, but I understand that some rudders have the key way
extend down further than others.  So you may be able to use the key way or
not.

Doug,

 

I “copied” Gary’s design and am happy with the results.  My rudder shaft did 
not have a keyway (Gary’s had one) so I ended up having to drill a 3/8” hole 
through a 3” stainless steel tube with ½” thick walls.  Edson makes an 
appropriate tiller arm with a 3/8” hole pre-drilled.  I used a drill bushing to 
start with a 1/8” pilot hole.  If you end up having to drill your shaft, let me 
know.  I have a drill bushing

Thanks Gary. Was a portion of the rudder shaft exposed, or did you have to cut

Hi John,

First suggestion is to check the Photoalbum site to se if your manual 
is listed in the resources sections. Then talk with a few old guys at 
your marina. If that doesn't work out well enough, post a few more 
details here and we'll take a stab at it.


:)

Cheers, Russ

Re: Stus-List (no subject) -> Raymarine repair and firmware update experience

2016-09-21 Thread Dreuge via CnC-List
Dave,

A while back I noticed that my Raymarine SPX-5 autopilot did not have the most 
recent firmware, but at that time I did not rush to update as I had no 
mechanism, like you, to do so.  To me it was not a major issue as the autopilot 
was working fine.  I operated it as stand alone device which I would mainly use 
to maintain a course heading or to occasionally assist in tacking.   

During it’s 4th or 5th year of use (after warranty), I started having problems 
with the autopilot drifting off course, then failing to recalibrate, and 
finally not working at all.  I called Raymarine and a tech had me measure the 
resistance across several wires to check the compass and measure voltage at the 
wheel drive.  After doing so, a tech stated that the problem was with the 
course computer, and that I need to send it in for repair.   I sailed my 29 for 
another year without a working autopilot before removing it and selling the 
vessel after purchasing my Landfall 38.  

Shortly before splashing the LF38 after some refitting, I sent the autopilot 
computer to Raymarine to see how much it was going to cost to fix it.  Over the 
phone, I was told that it would be a minimum of $99 for out of warranty repair 
work.  About a week after sending it in, I started calling to inquire on the 
repair.   The customer rep. took my contact info and told me they would contact 
me with a day or so.  The very next day, the unit arrived via UPS fully 
repaired and with an updated firmware.  I was expecting a pricey repair charge, 
but the only cost to me was the original USPS shipping fee to Raymarine. 

In your case, If the p70 firmware update provide important fixes or new must 
have functionality, you could look into sending it to Raymarine for the 
updating.  My guess is that they will do it free of charge.  I know it is not 
ideal, but at least it’s an option.

I have to admit, it was mostly this experience with Raymarine that later led me 
to purchasing a Raymarine e7d chart plotter, a Ray depth transducer, and a Ray 
Speed/Log/Temp system over other brands.  And recently an EV-200 autopilot (but 
with the octopus 1212LAR12 linear drive).

Re: Stus-List New Subject. Winch replacement for a C 38MKII

2016-08-29 Thread rjcasciato--- via CnC-List


Thanks Rick


If I  decide to switch, I would likely do the 46 size.it just fits on the 
coaming top and should have the power for the 150..


We sailed in the ONE Regatta over the weekend and both days started out below 
8kts but built to just over 15kts by the finish..that's definitely very 
near the limit for my 150, but we only had 4 crew and changing down to the 135 
was never an option..


I'm still unsure how to select the Pontos winch type,  the "trimmer" is 
suggested as more powerful.but the "grinder" is supposed to be 
faster..we definitely needed both yesterday.


And my useage is only for Genoa work..halyards and such are no problem at 
this time.


Thanks again

One occasionally sees Barient 36’s on EBay for a grand or so each. The 36 has a 
power ratio of around 62, which according to the Harken formula I mentioned 
would bring the force on the end of the winch handle to about 55 pounds for my 
135. 

 

The Lewmar EVO65ST’s on Defender at a bit under $3k each would be pricey 
(though a lot less than Harkens), but would do the job you want.

 

You can buy Barient 32 non-self-tailers on EBay pretty reasonably. And get 32ST 
conversion kits from Winchmate for $650 per winch. So you might be able to put 
32ST’s in place of the 28ST’s for something like $2500 all up. The bases on my 
32s are almost the same diameter as the 28s. Move the 28s and use them for your 
spinnaker – for which they work well.

 

I have the same situation as you do with the lifelines being close to the 
winches. So I use the double grip winch handles for trimming to assist the 
grinder. Don’t do diddly for single handing. I did move my stanchions out to 
the toerail, which made for slightly more clearance, but using a long winch 
handle is still problematic.

 

Have you thought about using some of your resources to recruit a couple of 
“winch apes” from a local college, rather than spending big bucks to upgrade 
the winches? Tell them it’s cross-fit training and will get them a spot on one 
of those TV reality shows.

 

Some old information from Harken indicated that the  average male could exert a 
max of around 50 pounds in a horizontal direction, about 75-100 pulling up, and 
125-150 pulling down (IIRC, Though I’m certain of the 50 pound number). The 
information about selecting winches from the Harken site currently recommends 
keeping the force level around 35 for longer term comfort and a mixed sex crew.

 

BTW, the formula on the Harken Website is:

 

(Sail Area X 6) / Power ratio = Force or(Sail Area X 6) 
/force = power ratio

Thanks Rick and Josh...

 

To correct my earlier post...my current winches are Barient 28ST's.the 
width of the winch coming is 9" and the winch base measures at 8.5" now.  The 
lower life line is about 9" from the center of the winch...

 

So the situation on by boat is.she is set up to race only.she was 
sailed by a nice old couple on the way to church once a week during the mid 
80's up to 1997.  When I bought her in 1997, I started an almost annual process 
of upgrading .the boat now not only looks great, but races very well to her 
rating in PHRF.

These winches are original to the boat (1977) and have been rebuilt at least 
once by me

The Lewmar EVO65ST's on Defender at a bit under $3k each would be pricey

You can buy Barient 32 non-self-tailers on EBay pretty reasonably. And get
32ST conversion kits from Winchmate for $650 per winch. So you might be able
to put 32ST's in place of the 28ST's for something like $2500 all up. The
bases on my 32s are almost the same diameter as the 28s. Move the 28s and
use them for your spinnaker - for which they work well.

 

I have the same situation as you do with the lifelines being close to the
winches. So I use the double grip winch handles for trimming to assist the
grinder. Don't do diddly for single handing. I did move my stanchions out to
the toerail, which made for slightly more clearance, but using a long winch
handle is still problematic.

 

Have you thought about using some of your resources to recruit a couple of
"winch apes" from a local college, rather than spending big bucks to upgrade
the winches? Tell them it's cross-fit training and will get them a spot on
one of those TV reality shows.

 

Some old information from Harken indicated that the  average male could
exert a max of around 50 pounds in a horizontal direction, about 75-100
pulling up, and 125-150 pulling down (IIRC, Though I'm certain of the 50
pound number). The information about selecting winches from the Harken site
currently recommends keeping the force level around 35 for longer term
comfort and a mixed sex crew.

Thanks Rick and Josh...

 

To correct my earlier post...my current winches are Barient 28ST's.the
width of the winch coming is 9" and the winch base measures at 8.5" now.
The lower life line is about 9" from the center of the winch...

 

So the situation on by boat is.she is set up to race only.she was
sailed by a nice old couple on the way to church once a week during the mid
80's up to 1997.  When I bought her in 1997, I started an almost annual
process of upgrading .the boat now not only looks great, but races very
well to her rating in PHRF.

These winches are original to the boat (1977) and have been rebuilt at least
once by me

 

We sail with a Pentax 155 and a full batten main .also a 135 and a 110.

 

It takes a gorilla to bring the 155 in when tacking in anything over 8kts.

 

I like the idea of longer handles but there's the issue of hitting the
lifelines, etc.

 

I just think it's time to move on to a modern winch..

Harken is the obvious choice, but I thought there might be an alternative to
their pricing..

Weight is also a religion on my boat, so big heavy and chrome don't make

38ST's? Those must be huge.

 

I replaced the old Merriman 33 primaries on Imzadi with Barient 32s
(equivalent to Anderson/Lewmar/Harken 58 or 56), and I'm in the process of
upgrading to 32ST's to make single handing easier. 

 

But even with these big winches cranking in the 155 was a chore. The 135
headsail I now use is easier, but I can't imagine that I would want anything
smaller unless I was limiting the size of the headsail to 100 or 110 and not
going out in winds of 20 apparent or more. 

 

I've tried using the Barient 28 secondaries (equivalent to Harken 52s) to
trim the headsail a few times. The bigger winched are noticeably easier.

One occasionally sees Barient 36’s on EBay for a grand or so each. The 36 has a 
power ratio of around 62, which according to the Harken formula I mentioned 
would bring the force on the end of the winch handle to about 55 pounds for my 
135. 

 

The Lewmar EVO65ST’s on Defender at a bit under $3k each would be pricey 
(though a lot less than Harkens), but would do the job you want.

 

You can buy Barient 32 non-self-tailers on EBay pretty reasonably. And get 32ST

32ST’s in place of the 28ST’s for something like $2500 all up. The bases on my

Thanks Rick and Josh...

 

To correct my earlier post...my current winches are Barient 28ST's.the 
width of the winch coming is 9" and the winch base measures at 8.5" now.  The 
lower life line is about 9" from the center of the winch...

 

So the situation on by boat is.she is set up to race only.she was 
sailed by a nice old couple on the way to church once a week during the mid 
80's up to 1997.  When I bought her in 1997, I started an almost annual process 
of upgrading .the boat now not only looks great, but races very well to her 
rating in PHRF.

These winches are original to the boat (1977) and have been rebuilt at least 
once by me

 

We sail with a Pentax 155 and a full batten main .also a 135 and a 110.

 

It takes a gorilla to bring the 155 in when tacking in anything over 8kts.

 

I like the idea of longer handles but there's the issue of hitting the 
lifelines, etc.

 

I just think it's time to move on to a modern winch..

Harken is the obvious choice, but I thought there might be an alternative to 
their pricing..

Weight is also a religion on my boat, so big heavy and chrome don't make it

 

Thanks again

38ST’s? Those must be huge.

 

I replaced the old Merriman 33 primaries on Imzadi with Barient 32s (equivalent 
to Anderson/Lewmar/Harken 58 or 56), and I’m in the process of upgrading to 
32ST’s to make single handing easier. 

 

But even with these big winches cranking in the 155 was a chore. The 135 
headsail I now use is easier, but I can’t imagine that I would want anything 
smaller unless I was limiting the size of the headsail to 100 or 110 and not 
going out in winds of 20 apparent or more. 

 

I’ve tried using the Barient 28 secondaries (equivalent to Harken 52s) to trim 
the headsail a few times. The bigger winched are noticeably easier.

 

Harken recommends a formula based on sail area to calculate the target power 
ratio of new winches. Based on a 400 sq. ft. headsail (100% on our boats) and a 
pull of 35 pounds on the winch handle, Harken 68’s are the right size for our 
boats. My 135 is 562 sq. ft., which means the load on the end of the winch 
handle can be as high as 60 pounds with my current winches. I’d definitely 
stick with the big winches.

I thought they looked pretty cool when Defender first started selling them. But 
my observation is that the big benefit of the 4 speeds is getting the sheet in 
quickly when you tack. The biggest power ratio available is 52 – which Defender 
sells for about the same price as a Lewmar EVO65ST. Didn’t look like a very 
good value for my boat and sailing style.

 

But then, if you get the line in fast enough, before the boat gets on the wind 
and the sail loads up, you might not need to grind the sail in under load and 
could get by with a smaller winch.

Re: Stus-List New Subject. Winch replacement for a C 38MKII

2016-08-25 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
Some of the winches in the PS article shifted speed automatically!  How
cool!  I get the 2 speed winches and I assumed 3 speed had a button or
clutch or something. When I heard 4 speed I thought, "Well now that's just
silly.". That was until they explained the auto function!  I can't justify
new winches but boy if I could...

Are you replacing because of a problem?  Many things on a winch can be
repaired and if not ebay regularly has all manner of winches for sale.  If
you're looking to make the work easier then you might just consider longer
handles.  They are cheap by comparison.  Changing so you can have
self-tailers?  Get the winch mates.  Changing because you feel like it?
Since there is no problem with what you have nothing will be cost
effective, go all out and get the 4 speed autos.

Dave,

not a specific solution to any of your problems, but if you are dealing with 
sanitation, Peggy Hall’s book (Get Rid of Boat Odors) is a very good read. It 
might be the best $25 you spend on your sanitation systems (A Kindle version is 
I think under $10).

Not for nuthin' but, if you can hear the the vent, it is restricted and won't

enlarged the first using 1-1/8 SS thru hull fittings and hose. was not that big 
a job. also the waste hose could be a big source of smells from the system. I 
replaced all those as well. no oder at all on our boat!

The larger vents and thru hull also allow me to flush the system at pumpout 
with fresh water running into the system through the vent opening and get the 
tank nice and clean.

  From what all the experts say, using quality hose and having proper

  a bug nest clogged air vent line, so at the very least check or replace your 
vent line. To be honest, I cannot make any claims that adding the

there was no problem to fix. But at such a small
  cost ~$25, it was a no brainer to install a system which constantly pumps 
fresh air into the holding tank. I thought briefly about getting a 
  12V air pump, but if I were to make any changes it would be to plumb the 
galley sink drain to the head inlet so that when I leave the boat for an 
extended period, 
  the head inlet could easily be flush with fresh water. This eliminate salt 
water organisms from the inlet line which die off in 
  the line and decay, without oxygen, anaerobically.

(or do both, and make provision for better/active ventilation in the 
new tank)
In your post below, you seem pretty pleased with the result, any other 
insights?  Anything you would do differently?

Gary,
 I have a Flex-o-Fold also, and if I don't "lock" it, it will continue
to spin.  I use reverse.

Tom,

I put mine in reverse to stop the prop, then position the shaft so the
blades are folded.  Then I put it back into reverse to lock them in place.
It's easy, especially if you mark the shaft position when the boat is out of
the water.

I used to have a Martec. I always moved the shaft to the horizontal prop 
position to assure the blades both folded, or one could end up with a ‘hanging 
blade’ and you know how much that means!

 

Now I have a Flex with gears – it folds in any position, and I doubt that it 
must be stopped, as the forward motion of the boat will push the blades 
backward, causing them to fold as long as the shaft is not being powered. I’m 
sure stopping it would help a lot. I have been leaving my Yanmar in forward for 
22 years with no problems (knock on wood).

For a folding prop, you do have to stop the shaft in order for it to fold.  You 
also have to center it (blades in the horizontal position) for both of them to 
fold.  With feathering props, you shift into reverse, the shaft turns and the 
prop feathers.

Gary,

I believe the list has addressed this before but I'll throw it out there
again.

A freewheeling prop has less resistance than a fixed one.  There are a few
assumptions being make in that statement.
*Fixed blade prop
*No shaft driven generator/alternator.

The navy does it regularly.  As a throttleman onboard an aircraft carrier
with 4 shafts, I can tell you, a trailing shaft always required less
compensation than a fixed shaft.  The only reason we ever stopped the shaft
was to do maintenance/repairs on the main engine or because of a shaft seal
failure.  The emergency shaft seal would be ruptured if the shaft was
allowed to spin.

As for our boats with featuring/folding props you have to stop the shaft in
order to allow the prop to feather/fold.  As others have mentioned you may
have to shift into reverse to feather the prop.  Staying in reverse ensures
that the prop doesn't "re-feather" and start spinning again.  Pretty
unlikely.  I occasionally forget to shift into neutral when starting...

Kanzaki recommends neutral for a fixed prop, neutral or reverse for a
fixed/folding prop.  If you have a folding/feathering prop, shifting into
reverse for a few seconds causes the prop to fold or feather.

Scott,

 

I have 15 years of experience with the 35-3 and my boat is in Hampton VA.  I 
have done many modifications and upgrades.  I would be glad to share pictures 
and experiences.

 

Joel, although not a C owner for much longer, has plenty of advice and 
experience to.  There are a couple of other 35-3’s on the bay too.  

 

When you have a question, give the list a shout and I’m sure you’ll get some 
opinions, comments, snide remarks, and maybe some good advice!  We’re a happy

Currently reading Dewey Lambdin. Not the easiest to read but his books are 
rapidly climbing to the top of favorites list. I also enjoy anything written by 
James L. Nelson. And there are always the traditional picks of C. S. Forester, 
Alexander Kent, and Patrick O’Brian. For a change of pace, I like Randy Wayne 
White’s “ Doc Ford” series and for a light quick read I go to original Clive 
Cussler books. Oh, and I shouldn’t leave out the Dudley Pope “Ramage” series!

  All,
  One of my favorite reads that involves sailing and boat building is Douglass
  Whynott's "A Unit of Water, A Unit of Time", which is a non-fiction account
  of the last boat built by Joel White at Brooklin Boatyard in Maine (the son
  of writer EB White as well as being a prolific naval architect).  The book
  is a quiet book, best enjoyed in front of a fireplace with a few Benjamin

  Andrew,

  If you enjoy Sterling Hayden's Wanderer, look for a copy of his novel
  "Voyage". IIRC it is set in 1900 and begins on a dark and stormy night in
  Boston harbor.  In short it is a story of a clipper ship hauling coal around
  the horn to San Francisco.

  For years I carried paperback copies of Wanderer or Voyage to read on

Me too. She's an '84 35mk3. Though not perfect, appears to be very well cared 
for and well outfitted. Has new port lights, recent rod rigging, fuel tank and 
rebuild of 3gm. Interesting thing about window refit is a ss frame around them. 
Haven't seen that in my research before. Things I need peace of mind with is 
hull integrity and hull/deck joint. There is also a bead of silicone along toe 
rail. This raises an eyebrow.  I know a 30 year old boat will have issues but 
there are issues I can deal with and others I don't have the time or energy to 
deal with.  I've done the soda blast and hull surface restore before and can do 
it again, but I don't want to face recoring. After a year search I'm settled on 
a C though. Hence joining the list.  I think the 35 mk 3 hits all the buttons 
for me.

As previously mentioned, check the mast step, most of them have sunk a bit. 
There is balsa coring in the hull in some forward panels, however, no issues 
with my boat. It's a great racer/cruiser, fast and fun to sail.

Easy DIY
Teak is not the only choice. Iroko is an adequate substitute. The original were 
made of mahogany. You can even use recycled pvc planks made for backyard decks 
(not the prettiest, but say adios to varnishing)

DIY, you need a ten feet planks of something, a hole saw (ideally on a 
press-drill) and a router to do the rounding.

Curtis,

They really aren't hard to make. Just need to get some full 4/4ths teak.  Mark 
out the loops.  Use a hole saw of a radius that matches the curve if the loops 
and drill holes.  The you connect the holes with a jig saw. Next use a router 
to round the oval holes. Finally cut the thing in half lengthwise and sand it. 
Done.

 Hi DavidI have a 1984 LF38 that should be close to yours...we are now 
 dropping the rudder every winter to prevent freezup.  My wite and I can get 
 it down ok, but it takes a bit of help from other sailors to get it back in.  
 I have 2 set screws in the cap on the rudder shaft that need to be loosened.  
 I end up using a pipe wrench to unscrew/screw the cap.  To minimize damage to 
 the cap nut I wrap it with Gorilla Tape.  I have heard of exhaust hose being 
 used...if you can get a good grip.  Tried the flexible wrenches like for an 
 oil filterno dice...takes much more force.  I wish there was a way to 
 make it easier...10 minutes with a big pipe wrench and she is off!   I drop 
 it onto a sawhorse with blocks.  I also make a bit of a netting with rope 
 around the bottom of the rudder and tied over the top...kinda like wrapping a 
 package with ribbon...but it makes it much easier to grab the rudder as we 
 ease it down.  Once down, and wangeled onto a two wheeler, I can put the 
 shaft on my shoulder and move it around to the car pretty easily.  One more 
 thought.I clean the shaft with a drill, 2-3 18 extensions, and a fine 
 scotchbrite like (red) buffing wheel soaked in kerosene to get all of the old 
 lube out.

 Hope that helpsGood Luck!

Hi DavidI have a 1984 LF38 that should be close to yours...we are now
dropping the rudder every winter to prevent freezup.  My wite and I can get
it down ok, but it takes a bit of help from other sailors to get it back in.
I have 2 set screws in the cap on the rudder shaft that need to be loosened.
I end up using a pipe wrench to unscrew/screw the cap.  To minimize damage
to the cap nut I wrap it with Gorilla Tape.  I have heard of exhaust hose
being used...if you can get a good grip.  Tried the flexible wrenches like
for an oil filterno dice...takes much more force.  I wish there was a
way to make it easier...10 minutes with a big pipe wrench and she is off!
I drop it onto a sawhorse with blocks.  I also make a bit of a netting with
rope around the bottom of the rudder and tied over the top...kinda like
wrapping a package with ribbon...but it makes it much easier to grab the
rudder as we ease it down.  Once down, and wangeled onto a two wheeler, I
can put the shaft on my shoulder and move it around to the car pretty
easily.  One more thought.I clean the shaft with a drill, 2-3 18
extensions, and a fine scotchbrite like (red) buffing wheel soaked in
kerosene to get all of the old lube out.
Hope that helpsGood Luck!

Hello all,
Just returned from the trip to look at a CC 35-2.  I only saw two things that 
concerned me (I'm no expert of course and I'd have a thorough survey),  and I'm 
writing too ask people's opinions on these two issues.
First, at the keel to hull joint, directly under the mast, there was water 
weeping through the joint onto both sides of the keel.  Also, if not mistaken, 
I believe that the forward keel bolt, which is under the mast and can't be seen 
unless the mast is removed, is in this location on a vertical plane.  Is this 
weeping at the hull/keel joint a serious concern? (i.e. is it enough not to 
waste money on a survey?) Is it likely that there is water running from the 
bilge or through the mast, past the keel bolt under the mast (hence a 
potentially comprised/rusty keel bolt under the mast?) and coming out through 
the joint?  1) the owner has had the boat shrink wrapped and on the hard for 
the last three years, and told me that winds this winter have blown the shrink 
wrap off the boat, and this spring is the first time the weeping has occurred. 
2)  The entire hull keel joint looked to me to be very good or excellent, no 
smile visible, and the bottom looked pretty smooth with a near perfect coat of 
fresh bottom paint.
Second,  the washer on the center (lowest in the bilge?) keel bolt was 
extremely rusty. The other visible keel bolts and washers looked very good. I 
don't remember if the center keel bolt itself was rusty. Also,  the gelcoat 
surface of the bottom of the keel was spider cracked pretty thoroughly, I 
thought at the time that this was superficial and cosmetic. Are the rusty keel 
bolt washer and the spider cracked surface of the bilge potential areas of 
concern?
Thank you in advance for any guidance here.

I replaced all the washers on the keel bolts on Alianna with 3/8 stainless
plate.  The keel bolts may need to be torqued, including the one under the
mast.   Before torquing the bolts, depending on how serious the leak is,
(like is the bilge filled with water now or if it were full then how bad
would the leak be) you may be able to grind into the joint on either side
back aft as far as you have to and force some compound into the joint after
you clean it out.  I did that on my 35 MKII and I filled the cavity I
created at the joint with 3M 5200.  That will prevent leaking from the
outside into the boat after launch and when you torque the keel bolts and
replace the washers with something more substantial or use at least 2
washers per bolt you can also put compound (4200 0r 5200) around the bolts
where they come up through the hull…I used a lot so that it squished out all
around as I torqued the nuts.  That was 8 years ago and no problems.  Torque
Specs are on the cnc site.  You will need a ¾ in drive and some large (I
think 11/4 and 11/2) deep sockets and about a 1-2 foot long extension on the
drive and a force multiplier on the socket handle…I used a 4 foot long
section of steel pipe…don’t jerk the socket, just steady pull and when you
use the pipe extension you only have enough room for one click on the
ratchet at a time

 

I would expect the keel bolts to be fine and the nuts too…I would definitely
try that before doing a total removal and re-bedding of the keel…On the
outside, after the 5200 cures a bit you can fair with car body filler or you
can epoxy over the entire joint with glass reinforced epoxy and then fair.

2014-04-24 Thread Lee Youngblood

Hi Andrew,

You should always expect water in the forward part of the bilge, it 
comes down the mast.  All the openings and lines will feed water 
down.  The forward part of my bilge was partitioned off with a 
separate pump, which I didn't know about, till it made a wicked 
racket at 4am of course.  The pump doesn't get it all, so I vacuum it 
out occasionally.  Clean it out and see if it's rain water or salt 
water.


If you don't have a smile, than I wouldn't worry much about the keel.

Hi Steve,
When I got my boat she didn't have a pulpit. The lifelines terminated 
to an inverted U shape stanchion arrangement on each side. The side 
units are not entirely uncommon, for the day and allowed the jib to 
be brought inside the lifelines nicely.
There were bases where the old pulpit was but It was probably let go 
because of the assy spinnaker.


After six years of cruising I've haven't had the desire to reinstate 
the pulpit. PM me if you want pics.

If I recall correctly that repair or rebuild job on a 33-2 could involve a
little more than a simple mast step rebuild, as if any mast step rebuild
were a simple thing to do in the first place.  I recall reading an account
from one contributor on this list who reported first hand about exactly that
repair on a 33-2 and I seem to recall that more extensive work was involved
and that one could expect to spend in the neighbourhood of $20,000 to have
the job done properly.  That said, the 33-2 is a beautiful design that has
good speed potential and sails very well to weather but the very issue that
Andrew has raised was a major concern when I chose to pass on a 33-2 in
favour of a boat that was 10 years older,  my CC 35 MKII that I have now
sailed very happily for nearly 10 years now with no structural issues.
Alianna is now in her 39th year and going strong and looking good.  All
sailboats require some regular upkeep and repair but probably most would
agree that structural integrity in the mast step / keel sump is a very high
priority issue.

Andrew,

Many of us have had to rebuild our mast step.  It's really not a big deal.

Many early CC's had an unprotected, unencapsulated wooden mast steps.  The
one on my 35-1 was simply 3-4 pieces of marine ply bonded together and cut
to bridge across the bilge.  After years in the wet environment the wood got
saturated and lost strength.  I installed a hydraulic backstay adjuster.
The first time I tensioned it, I shoved the mast down into the bilge a
couple inches.  Oops!

If the boat you're looking at has a weak step, it's not a deal breaker.  You
have to mark and measure everything around the mast step, pull the rig,
scrape out the old rotted step and build a new step.  You can order thick
fiberglass sheets and cut them to fit and glass them in.  You can shape a
piece of white oak to rebuild it.  You can do like I did and build up a
solid glass step with a limber hole underneath for drainage.  If you're
fairly handy with West System epoxy or fiberglass resin, it's not a huge
job.

The only critical thing is measure, measure, measure so the new step is the
same elevation as the old one.

You have lots of help here on the list.

Can anyone guide me to a source of info about this?  Should such a problem

wrote:

 Nothing stopping anyone from using Class A but the .

True.  But I stand by my statement, using the word generally.  Here's more on 
the differences between Class A and Class B:

 The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International 
 Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires AIS to be fitted 
 aboard international voyaging ships with gross tonnage of 300, cargo ships of 
 500 gross tonnage and all passenger ships regardless of size.
 
 There are several important functional differences between AIS Class A and 
 Class B transponders.  
   - Class A meets the requirements of the IMO AIS carriage requirements and 
 is standardized in SOLAS, while the Class B provides capabilities which are 
 not fully compliant with IMO requirements. 
   - A main difference is the data communication technology; Class A units 
 utilize Self-Organizing Time-Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology.  
 This technology ensures that VHF transmissions of different transponders do 
 not occur at the same time by synchronizing their data transmission to an 
 exact timing standard, providing that no transmissions are missed.  Class B 
 units utilize Carrier-Sense TDMA (CSTDMA), which listens to the AIS network 
 to determine if a slot is being used. Once the unit determines that the slot 
 is open, it powers up its transmitter and broadcasts a 1 slot position 
 report.  The Class B is also required to listen for reservations from base 
 stations and comply with these reservations. If the unit cannot find an open 
 slot, it will not broadcast.  
   - The reporting intervals are lower with a Class B transponder than a Class 
 A transponder. 
   - The transmitted AIS data from a Class B transponder is limited; a Class A 
 transponder transmits and receives all required AIS data
 


IF you go Class A, be prepared to be constantly changing your AIS data as far 
as Navigational Status (underway using engine, underway sailing, moored, at 
anchor, etc.), as this data is required to be in the Class A AIS datastream.  
Class B is a lot simpler, and really geared toward recreational use.  Class A 
transponders also use significantly more power than Class B, not a non-issue to 
sailors.  I don't see any benefit to spending the extra $$$, unless you think 
you'll be more visible to large vessels as a Class A vessel; that's a subject 
still being debated:

Joel,
Is this the SI-TEX unit that you were looking at?
http://www.si-tex.com/index.php/product-information/ais/sas-300-ais-class-b-ais-transceiver-detail

Although I don't have any of their hardware, I like the SI-TEX brand. They
seem to occupy the value space. Value, like free wind, = good.  :-)

Full disclosure: I'm just a day-sailor who rarely ventures outside the
mouth of the St Johns River in Florida. Despite this, I bought an MilTech
AIS receiver 6 or 7 years ago because I thought it was really cool and
relatively inexpensive. It once picked up the signal from an old tugboat in
for repairs at Green Cove Springs. w00t.

As for AIS (receivers), do folks think that a radar-like display of
approaching targets is OK or even perhaps optimal?
Or, is it be important to be able to put the nearby boats in the context of
a chart?

I know that many chart-plotters can interpret and display AIS data and
predict potential collisions. But, might this be a good case for having a
standalone unit, dedicated for nearby situational awareness - kinda like
radar I suppose. Probably depends upon one's situation.  :-)

Joel,
Is this the SI-TEX unit that you were looking at?
http://www.si-tex.com/index.php/product-information/ais/sas-300-ais-class-b-ais-transceiver-detail

Although I don't have any of their hardware, I like the SI-TEX brand. They
seem to occupy the value space. Value, like free wind, = good.  :-)

Full disclosure: I'm just a day-sailor who rarely ventures outside the
mouth of the St Johns River in Florida. Despite this, I bought an MilTech
AIS receiver 6 or 7 years ago because I thought it was really cool and
relatively inexpensive. It once picked up the signal from an old tugboat in
for repairs at Green Cove Springs. w00t.

As for AIS (receivers), do folks think that a radar-like display of
approaching targets is OK or even perhaps optimal?
Or, is it be important to be able to put the nearby boats in the context of
a chart?
