Greg, I cannot speak to the structural analysis involved but I would not be at 
all comfortable leaving that space unfilled.  Not sure the small benefit of 
departing from the designer's intent is worth the risk...  just an opinion. 
And the heat thing is minimized by mixing smaller batches - less concentration, 
more surface area.

Hey Russ,

The sika has amazing freeze thaw properties and the reason I began looking 
outside of the standard epoxies or resins was due to my general lack of 
knowledge and also a bit concerned with the depth of material needed, and the 
heat generated while kicking off and curing. I was surprised when Dave went in 
that direction because I was under the impression the boat would catch fire or 
in the very least the end result would be brittle. After reading his process 
last night I think his success was using less catalyst but it's all foreign to 
me so I have no clue. (Awesome job btw)
After a bit of thought, would it really matter if I left that area open and not 
fill the entire cavity? If I have a substantial compression post that is held 
fast around the forward keel bolt to keep it in position, couldn't it be open 
like the bilge on the other side? As long as the top of the area is secured and 
glassed back into the structure around the keelbolts with the steel plates I 
think it should be fine. I also contemplated drilling limber holes from that 
cavity into the bilge so that if and when water gets in, it would also drain 
out.

I'm loving your input gentleman,

I agree completely. I come from a construction background so plan on using a 
cement type of mortar used for anchoring large industrial equipment. Once fully 
cured it has a load rating of 8100 lbs/sq in, doesn't shrink and is unaffected 
by water. I was certain the loads wouldn't exceed that but wanted to make sure. 
 My plan going forward once excavated was to pour 4-5 " of the mortar to level 
up the base and then fabricate a steel post with a bottom and top plate with a

The mortar I plan to use is called Sikagrout 212 but states that after 6" of

the way to go.

Hi Dave,

Watch those units.
4000 PSI on a 6" x 8" mast step plane is out of this world for a 33 foot boat.
When I did the mast loading while designing the rig of my old 60' cruiser it 
was 100,000 lbs and he's telling you it's twice that??

I would go with Joe's suggestion of 1/2" aluminum plate and move on to other

Thanks everyone for the info. I spoke with Danny from Klacko spars yesterday 
and he's certain that he would have installed my original mast in '87. He 
figures even when falling into a wave with full sails the forces wouldn't 
exceed 4000 psi. Seems light to me but who am I to argue with him.

Well you need to sleeve the 2 keel bolts for keel maintenance/removal anyway, 
so this requires a post or tube regardless, prior to the pour.
Only other thing I would add (and it's a no-brainer) is to ensure that the 
'floor' (large transverse rib) you cut under the mast step is adequately 
reinforced, both transversely and longitudinally.  the once continuous glass 
spanning the keel stub isn't continuous any  more so you want to 
rebuild/reinforce that.  Again, that's pretty obvious I think.  This is part of 
why I switched to very heavily glass filled epoxy at the top of my keel fill, 
and then built out a tapering cross of biaxial stitch mat and height modulus 
carbon spanning the whole region.  Have flogged the boat hard this spring and 
am looking forward to lifting the sole and inspecting in October.

Hi Greg,

If you want to spend extra... we used Pilgrim 
Magmaflow epoxy grout under the frame of the 
turbogenerater. Excellent flow characteristics if 
there is an awkward cavity to reach. It might be 
better than traditional grouts during freeze cycles if there is water present.

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

2017-06-27 Thread Russ & Melody via CnC-List


Hi Dave,

Watch those units.
4000 PSI on a 6" x 8" mast step plane is out of this world for a 33 foot boat.
When I did the mast loading while designing the 
rig of my old 60' cruiser it was 100,000 lbs and 
he's telling you it's twice that??


I would go with Joe's suggestion of 1/2" aluminum 
plate and move on to other projects.


Cheers, Russ

Thanks everyone for the info. I spoke with Danny 
from Klacko spars yesterday and he's certain 
that he would have installed my original mast in 
'87. He figures even when falling into a wave 
with full sails the forces wouldn't exceed 4000 
psi. Seems light to me but who am I to argue with him.
I thought I notice Mr. Knowles at the club on 
the weekend so I'll definitely run it past him - thanks for mentioning that.


I have the entire mast step "excavated" to the 
keel and am starting the rebuild. Can't wait for this one to be finished!


Thanks!

Hi Greg,

You can research the righting moment, at say 30 
- 33 degrees, for various boats in your size 
range for a second opinion. The 33-2 is similar 
in stability to my 35 mk-1(check diagram in the 
Technical Info on Stu's CNC site).


I put the load at about 10,000 lbs, so building 
for 12 - 15,000 lbs is not a unreasonable. If 
you're going with aluminum only then I would 
spec it at 20,000 for a 50% corrosion allowance 
and say, "I expect this to last another 20 years."


BTW, check with Rich Knowles on my credentials, if in doubt. :)

Hi Rich, we miss you on the Left Coast.

Re: Stus-List 33 mk2 Mast step loads

2017-06-27 Thread Dave via CnC-List
Have been thinking about your post Greg.
Remember, the 33-2 mast step is not only compressed by the mast, it also bears 
the compression load of one of the four large keel bolts.   Don't only think of 
the rig  
Fellow lister Doug A quite wisely convinced me to install compression posts 
when I rebuilt my keel, and the pro repair by Bristol marine here in Toronto 
does the same.

Dave.

Hi Greg,

You can research the righting moment, at say 30 - 33 degrees, for various boats 
in your size range for a second opinion. The 33-2 is similar in stability to my 
35 mk-1(check diagram in the Technical Info on Stu's CNC site).

I put the load at about 10,000 lbs, so building for 12 - 15,000 lbs is not a 
unreasonable. If you're going with aluminum only then I would spec it at 20,000 
for a 50% corrosion allowance and say, "I expect this to last another 20 years."

BTW, check with Rich Knowles on my credentials, if in doubt. :)

Hi Rich, we miss you on the Left Coast.

Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

Selden Mast Tuning manual  
(http://www.seldenmast.com/files/1416926327/595-540-E.pdf (p.31)) says that the 
shrouds should be set to 15%-20% of the breaking load. Keep in mind that you 
have at least 4 shrouds plus the stay and the backstay. The letter two are at 
less acute angle, so the force is reduced (by the cosine of the angle (the 
force is reduced for the shrouds, as well, but the reduction is around 2%, so 
who cares)).

What's the breaking strength of the upper shrouds?  I'd think 50% of that would 
be conservative.
