Stus-List winter storage

[Robert Abbott via CnC-List]

The key to keeping mast up during winter is the cradlethe boats with 
inadequate or damaged cradles are at risk.  I have seen several boats at 
my club where the boats have toppled and it was the cradle that failed 
in every instance.


And for loosening the rigging in winterno need if the rig is 
properly tuned at storagebesides, as someone here mentioned, the 
aluminum mast shrinks first in extreme cold.

Re mast up.  A friend stored his C 33-2 with mast up and it blew 
over in a winter storm.  He now has no mast.


With mast down possibly the reduced windage would have prevented the 
boat from blowing over but certainly would have not resulted in a mast 
broken in three areas.  The boat was on a cradle.

Here in Michigan it's time to winterize our boats until April. For 
those who store their boat with the mast up, do you leave shroud 
tension alone or do you loosen the shrouds for the winter? Bob Mann

Stus-List Winter storage options near Buzzards Bay, MA

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

Hello all, Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for winter storage somewhere around Buzzards Bay.  Narragansett bay is an option too. The yard I was using needs to drop the mast and they can be a little clumsy.  They've damaged my boat several times in their handling and I've done a massive amount of cosmetic work over the last couple of years that I'd like to protect. I've also just completely rehabbed the mast.  So, dropping it seems like a waste of effort and cost right now.   So, I'd like to find a mast up solution if possible. Thanks for any insights anyone can offer! DannyRum Runner IVT40Mattapoisett MA

Re: Stus-List Winter storage & lingering decisions

[Nathan Post via CnC-List]

Has anyone tried a garboard plug on a centerboard version C keel?  Where did 
you put it?  I like the idea of keeping the bilge dry in the winter on the hard 
but am not sure how well it would work with the flat/wide bilge on the boat 
with the keel bolts down each side.  Where would I put it?  It would almost be 
ideal if I could go straight down the into the center board trunk but not sure 
if that would work (how long would the hole have to be?) or how to plug it. 
Thoughts?

Stus-List Winter storage & lingering decisions

[Len Mitchell via CnC-List]

I installed a garboard plug this fall after more than 20 years without. I have 
a dry bilge this winter and honestly regret not doing it sooner. It was only 
about $25 and it took about a half hour. Magnets were used to locate and I 
installed it flush with the keel stub. We are covered on the hard about 6 
months a year up here! The Toronto boat show starts on Jan 17th, that’s half 
way to spring in the North.

Re: Stus-List Winter storage CT

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

I used to be at Fort Rachel and was happy there.  I have been at Portland 
Riverside Marina in Portland, CT for 5 years now.  Many boats from NEw London 
there or next door at Yankee Boat yard.  Very much a DIY yard but with pros to 
help if needed.  Great marine stores at both.  Yankee has tarmac while Portland 
is dirt.  The up side- half the cost of near the coast.  Down side: 4 hour 
motor up the river form Old Saybrook to get there (but a lovely trip).  Dave

Re: Stus-List Winter storage CT

[nausetbeach--- via CnC-List]

Branford Landing (203-483-6544) up the Branford River is a small, basic  but 
friendly yard that allows owners to do their own work.  No real amenities 
though there is a restaurant in the yard and a brewery / pub next door.  Chris 
Anderson [owner / manager] is great to work with the few times I have needed 
some extra help, and for scheduling hauling / launching timing.  

If you want the full list of amenities, Bruce and Johnson [part of Brewers and 
now Safe Harbor] is closer to the mouth of the Branford River and has it all, 
and one might guess the pricing to go along with it.  Very friendly and 
attentive staff.  Do not know how much they allow owners to work on their 
boats.

Re: Stus-List Winter storage CT

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

Jon,

No yard anywhere will let you do work on the hull. 

Suggest you do what I did — move south. Now I only haul the boat once every 5 
years to slap some paint on and then back to sailing a couple of days later. 

Winter storage? Rather be winter sailing. 

All the best, 

Edd

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Randy Stafford via CnC-List]

The mast for my C 30 MK I is about 43’ and weighs probably 200+ pounds.  Two 
guys can lift it (when it’s horizontal) but not for very long and they can’t 
move it very far.

When I bought the boat and moved it to my lake, we built some cradles for the 
mast to lay above the deck and cabin top, on centerline, with the weight off 
the pulpits (slightly visible at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTb294M1Z6N0UtV0U 
).

Last offseason I pulled the mast out and laid it along the boat trailer’s frame 
rail and a stack of blocks by the trailer’s tongue, in the boatyard.  I moved 
it there on a separate long flatbed trailer, and my crew and I lifted it off 
the flatbed and laid it on the blocks.

This spring the flatbed wasn’t available, so we built some 2x4 trestles off the 
starboard side of the boat trailer, U-bolted to the bunk supports, and 
transported mast and boat to the gin pole at the same time.  I have a 38’ 
trailer so we were able to do that with minimal overhang on each end.

This coming offseason I’ll pull the mast again, and transport it the same way 
to the boatyard, and probably put it on blocks so it’s out of the way for hull 
painting.  Drainage is a good idea.

Cheers,
Randy Stafford

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

Talking about preventing freezing – make sure that your spreaders are draining 
water (open end down). The natural thing is to hand them with the open end up, 
but this is the wrong way.

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

The new furler owners manuals often advise supporting the furler in a
manner that will facilitate draining to prevent freeze damage to the
extrusion.  I think this is probably also a good practice for the mast.  I
think you are going to be surprised how heavy the mast is, I would be
uncomfortable putting that much weight on the pulpits.  Build a wooden
cradle that sits on the boat and braces off the toe rail.  Probably need 4
or 5.  Your mast is probably going to be close to 60' length so be careful
how much extends out the front and back.  If you have no mast work to do
you'll probably be able to safely store it and the furler at the boat yard.

How are you getting the boat home?

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Peter,


I am not sure about the pulpits, but many people store masts on the boat. I 
would support it separately (i.e. on some supports, where the mast can be more 
securely attached) and use a middle support, as well (somewhere around the 
spreaders, probably resting on the mast step, unless your mast is keel stepped).


You may also want to raise it above the deck, so that you have access to the 
cabin (and the cockpit) during the winter.


If you have a winter cover that does not use the mast as support, you may want 
to take it off the boat and support it on three sawhorses.

Make sure that you support the furler properly, especially the drum, as the 
furler is longer than the mast (again, unless you have a keel stepped mast). I 
use a length of a 2x3 that goes into the mast and extends about 1 m, to which i 
tie the furler drum.

Hello all

I have a c 40  1983 w roller furler harken and I am wondering if anyone 
brings their mast home on the pulpits  for storage  or is that not recommended

I have so much work to do on the boat for the winter I would prefer having it 
at the house.

Thanks

Peter
