Stus-List Dorade vent replacement
My 85 37 has the traditional cowl vents on the dorade boxes. Jib sheet caught one and tossed it in the drink yesterday, motivating me to upgrade to a low profile vent that will fit the 7” space. Nicro and Marinco make a nice mini solar vent that will fit, but I think these are designed for direct thru-deck application, not a dorade box. What solutions have you folks found for a low profile vent? Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.

That's what I did on mine after my foredeck guys kicked 4 of them over board in 4 weeks. I have enough pipe for another 2 or 3 seasons...perhaps by then they will figure out where their feet are.

Re: Stus-List Dorade
Back in the CC family!! I recently purchased a CC 33 Mk II. I previous had a CC 26, then a Mirage 29. I am fortunate that she is on the hard on our laneway for the winter so I have about a 30 second walk to get on her. Very convenient for me to get to know the boat and do work on her over the winter.

Re: Stus-List dorade box fastening
I have removed the 2 dorade boxes from my 1974, 35 MKII they were each mounted in bedding compound on deck forward of the mast and secured with 9 screws each from up through the underside of the deck into the ¾ inch teak boxes, nothing else. I removed these because they snagged my jib sheets, often at very inopportune times. I replaced them with mushroom vents, one on either side, and always open. No snags anymore. Ventilation from these in our conditions is adequate however having read the virtues of solar powered vents I may change, most for the ventilation advantage during winter storage. but good 4 inch solar powered vents are rather expensive Dwight Veinot CC 35 MKII, Alianna St. Margarets Bay, NS _ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Jimmy Kelly Sent: April 21, 2014 9:47 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List dorade box fastening have 1968 redline 41 by bruckmann mfgremoved dorades..,back in early 80swere fastened from below as well as from inside boxes...also glassedwithin boxwere not designed to be removed..had to have yard ..cut them off...instead of new dorades went with aluminium 14 by 8 inch hatches...alternated which way openedone of best changes madeespecially when in hot climates30 yrs later..lewmar hatches still in great shapealso less teak to maintain...with way yard installed hatches ... length wise parallel to boat centerlineat least 2 can be open depending on direction of wave spray...have really worked wellalso look great...not what had in mind when project started...later replaced teak hatches with lewmar aluminium hatches..no more leaks when teak wood dried out in hot summer sun.good luck on your projecthave you decided on deck treatment? ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List dorade box fastening
Jimmy, Thanks for the info based on your Bruckmann built Redline. I will discuss the hatch conversion idea with Calypso’s co-owner but I expect we will keep the teak dorade boxes. One of our goals is to keep the boat mostly looking like it was when launched, just a little updated here and there. have you decided on deck treatment? I am planning to test Kiwi Grip (light gray) and EZPoxy 2 (color similar to the original off white) on a cockpit hatch. I will be testing for how the paint applies with brush or roll/tip and how the Kiwi Grip looks/feels. If the light grey non-skid area looks out of place we will stick with the existing all off white and use a custom color mix of Kiwi Grip or similar non-skid coating. The original teak foredeck hatch was converted to a AH 36”x36” back in the early 80’s. The mid and head AH hatches were original from 1970. All three opening AH hatches were sent to Hammerhead for refirb. I will report back on how they look when the 90lbs of hatches and packaging arrive back next week. By the time we are finished over 200 holes in the deck will have been drilled out and refilled with epoxy. Some work days we have found more old holes that were painted over than we filled. Must be each past owner moved deck hardware around several times. Most of the old polyester based filler (“bondo”) is failing and allows water to seep by. All deck hardware is being removed to inspect for water intrusion. Most areas checked so far have some amount of wet or damaged core. We are getting faster at repairing and sealing the areas. High load areas will be rebuilt with epoxy and glass so no further water damage will occur. The interior will be sanded or stripped (it is painted Herreshoff style, white with teak trim) then repainted with white Brightside. If time allows we will rebuilt the “stick built” sole supports. After decades of racing and cruising, crew weight upon the floorboards causes enough creaking to be quite annoying when someone does a middle of the night anchor check.
