Stus-List Selden sprit kit install

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

Two years ago I purchased the Selden sprit at the Annapolis Boat Show. It sat 
in my basement for the winter and in the spring I tried to install the sprit to 
no avail. The problem was the anchor roller alignment and the bow cleats did 
not allow the sprit to fit under the furling roller. I returned it and received 
a full refund, my only cost was the shipping cost to return it. 
 
I race my 36 and fly an asymmetrical and have done very well with the chute. We 
have learned how to gybe it and when the air is light from the stern we heel 
the boat and wing to wing the sail. The trimmer and I (I steer) need to work 
together very closely. JSI out of Florida made the sail and I can point fairly 
well, when on a beam reach she flies - no one can touch me.

Stus-List Fuel vent option

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

There is a product on the market that solves the fuel vent line from taking on 
water, it is the H2Out Systems. It is worth a look to check it out.
I am not associated with the company in any way.

Stus-List Looking at a second boat - must be out of my mind

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

Joel,
 
The Hylas 44 is a great sailboat, I did not own one - a friend did. I had 
purchased a new Hylas 47 in 1989 and sailed her to St Thomas from Ft Lauderdale 
to join the CYC fleet which was all Hylases. I met and became friends with 
another Tom and he had a new Hylas 44. We did some sailing together over the 5 
years of the program  at CYC. The 44 would stay with me in every condition of 
sailing in the US Virgins and the BVI. I sailed my Hylas 47 to Annapolis in 
1993 and kept her in the area for another 5 years.  Joel, we met a few years 
ago when I raced my C&C 36 Frolic II from the Magothy to your club, you were 
the race chairman. I think you will find the Hylas 44 to be a great sailboat, 
the size will spoil you and the Admiral.

Stus-List Cushions smell

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

I have an odor of diesel in all of my cushions. It is not a strong smell, when 
you first go below it is more revelent - after you are there for awhile it is 
not as bad. If anyone has had a similar problem and solved the issue, I would 
love to know how. Obviously, a total replacement would work. The Admiral 
refuses to sleep on the boat because of the odor. I have taken the cushions off 
for the winter and steam cleaned one and sprayed it with Fabreeze, not much 
different.

Stus-List portable generator on sale at harbor freight

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

I looked at it yesterday at my local Harbor Freight and decided not to 
purchase. One of the big factors for me was the weight, just under 70 lbs. That 
is too much for me to put in a locker and get out. The price is right 
considering the comparable Honda is $999.00.

Stus-List Frolic II 36' cb will be for sale soon

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

After some great years of sailing and racing I have decided the 36' C&C is a 
little too much for this older body. I regret to say that Frolic II will be for 
sale very soon. I am looking at a smaller sailboat and like the Alerion 28 and 
the Harbor 25, both have some good pedigree.
 
I will talking to a broker tomorrow about a listing, in the meantime, if you 
know of anyone that would like to discuss the sale with me, feel free to email 
me at tvince...@msn.com or call 302-540-2078.

Stus-List Forward hatch support rod

Stus-List Stanchion support problem

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

Not paying attention this past Monday I hit the piling at the fuel dock with 
the stanchion on the starboard side that is used as part of the gate. The 
stanchion was not damaged, the stainless steel support was bent and I am trying 
to figure out if I should try bending it back or replace it. The tube is 2' 
long, 1/2" outside diamater, and 3/8" inside diamater. Also, the cast aluminum 
bracket that holds the stanchion to the toe rail is cracked. 

Any suggestions where either piece can be located ?

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

The engine is at a small angle because the shaft exits about 4 " to port of 
center. The shaft has to remain straight to the transmission.

Stus-List Too cold to email

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

Kevin,

Were you a Navy Seal? No one in their right mind would go for sail in the 
conditions you described. 

When the temperatures get as low as everyone is describing, you want to be home 
either reading a book or watching a movie- maybe taking care of the children's 
mother. 

I am going to the marina tomorrow to check out Frolic II, she is in the water 
and the temperatures on the Upper Chesapeake have been in the teens at night.

Stus-List The stern squats at high speed

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem that I have with my 36' 
that has the 3 cylinder Yanmar 30 HP. While motoring if I increase the speed 
the stern starts squatting the faster I go. I top out at 6.5 knots of speed and 
the stern is way down. I have a martec 18'' folding prop and I do not know the 
pitch.

Stus-List Where is my old 30' C&C now

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

I was wondering where my original C&C 30' is now. I purchased her in
 1975, brand new, from Havre de Grace Marina in Maryland. What a beauty,
 chocolate  brown hull with a cameo deck. It had the Atomic 4 engine 
that ran like a dream. I had never sailed in my life when I purchased 
her and Arvid, the marina owner, took me out several times to show me 
what everything was for. Needless to say I have been hooked ever sense. 
Fusty, the name I gave her, was the 30 footer that C&C had at the 
boat show that year in either Montreal or Toronto. She was totally 
decked out with all the goodies because of the show. I sailed her on the
 upper Chesapeake the first year and gradually started sailing with a 
larger head sail, she came with a 110, 135, and 170 headsail. Not 
knowing anything I started with the 110 and worked my way up to the 170.
 I loved the thought of racing and during the first winter on the hard I
 had spinnaker gear installed, B&G hornet series gauges, and had a 
spinnaker and tallboy made at Concord Point Sail maker. Unfortunately, I
 can not find any info with the hull number and the marina has changed 
ownership and they have no record. Is there a way to find Fusty now?

Stus-List Leak in Fuel Tank

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

Two years ago I had the aluminum fuel tank replaced with a fiberglass tank. I 
started noticing the smell of diesel the year before, the Admiral noticed it 
more than me. The bilge area under the engine started showing signs of diesel 
and it got worst over time. The aluminum tank was pulled by the marina mechanic 
and it was decided it was beyond repair. It was like the tank had cancer on the 
bottom, a lot of little pin holes - especially in the areas of the tank that 
sat on the wooden frame that was holding the tank in place. The odor of diesel 
is the most difficult smell to eliminate, I run an ionizer 24/7 when the boat 
is in the slip.

Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

I race on Wednesday nights on the Bohemia River in Maryland and lately the race 
committee has been doing a better job having a windward start and a down wind 
leg. Unfortunately, I use an assymetrical spinnaker which does very poorly dead 
down wind, even gybing has not helped. One of my crew was wondering if we used 
a regular spinnaker pole, if it would help us down wind. I was wondering if 
anyone on the forum has any experience using a pole with an assymetrical 
spinnaker.

Stus-List Transmission/prop woes

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

It seems this is the year for the shaft to remove itself from the coupler. I 
race on Wednesday nights on the Bohemia River and 4 weeks ago I had decided to 
go out early and warm up a little. I had to return to the fuel dock to pick up 
one crew member. I was adjacent of the pier and he hopped aboard, I slid the 
gear shift lever down, this puts the trans in forward, and nothing. We were 
slowly moving forward to the rock pile jetty at the end of the fuel dock and I 
start shouting for the crew to raise the main and get our butts away from the 
rocks. The wind was blowing abeam and it was impossible to raise the main, one 
crew member quickly unfurls about 10' of the genoa and we develop enough 
forward motion to provide me steerage. We barely missed ending up on the rocks. 
I had the marina haul the boat and they replaced the coupler and many boat 
dollars later, I am back sailing.

Stus-List Wednesday Night Racing

I have been racing Frolic II, 36' cb, on Wednesday nights for 10 years. We race 
using PHRF and I am the big boat in the fleet with a rating of 127, everyone 
gets time. It has been a lot of fun over the years and the crew and I look 
forward to it. Frolic is for sale as I am looking to downsize and continue 
racing, one of the boats that has caught my interest is a Harbor 25 - does 
anyone have any inside info on this boat?

Stus-List Possible upgrade to a C&C 36 cb

[TOM VINCENT via CnC-List]

This has been an interesting topic to follow for several days as I have owned 
and raced a C&C 30 and now own and race a C&C 36 cb. I bought the 30' new in 
1975 and raced her on the upper Chesapeake Bay in the Columbia Sailing Assoc. 
(CSA). I had a 160 genoa, deck sweeper, and could carry it in breezes up to the 
high teens. It was a hanked on sail, which was a pain to reduce to the 135. My 
36' cb is more tender with a 150 and we need to reef the main or furl in the 
genoa some (luff tape) when the wind goes in the mid teens. I can still out 
point the fleet with the 150 and the center board is always up as I race on the 
Bohemia River which is very shallow.
