Re: Stus-List C&C 35-3 Baby stay

Thanks Jake and all for the input.  I'm assuming you meant upper 2/3 of the sail, not the bottom, as I'd think the outhaul is more than sufficient at flattening the lower part...  I hadn't considered using it stop mast pumping though, I've noticed some trouble with that (especially when racing a

Re: Stus-List 3GM30F exhaust specs...

If anyone needs it, I have a new Vernalift muffler left over from my exhaust system upgrade a few years ago. It is a 2" top in, 2" top out, about 7" diameter and about 7" tall. Bought this muffler intending to install on port side of the engine/tranny under the riser, but access was impossible.

Re: Stus-List 3GM30F exhaust specs...

Sean, I replaced my old SS muffler with a Vernalift too. It has 2” inlets and outlets. I used a reducer at the transom to connect to the existing 1 ½” outlet. It works great and actually sounds pretty good too. Jake Jake Brodersen “Midnight Mistress” C&C 35 Mk-III Hampton Va

Re: Stus-List C&C 35-3 Baby stay

Erik, That babystay prevents the mast from pumping in heavy seas. It also depowers the main by flattening the bottom third of the sail, but I consider this a secondary (and minor) side effect. In light air we tie the babystay to the mast and don't use it. Adding backstay tension to the ma

Hi Jim, One of the problems with SuperLube seems to be, it is hard to remove. It is waterproof and proof to many solvents because it is synthetic and not petroleum based and must be rubbed off. I chose it for my rudderpost 5 years ago because it is environmentally safe, thick and clear, compati

Re: Stus-List Spinnaker Stops

Hi Dennis, On our 34R, the halyards exit the mast high up and run to mast blocks at the collar well away from the mast, so a tug would probably pull the line into the camcleat. I recently mounted a camcleat on the mast well below the exit for my main halyard so I can control it there. Tensionin

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint removal

Rich, That's an amazing tool! Clever. But where is all the dust going? Careful the dust doesn't reattach to your deck or another boat. Wind can be your friend or a mean mother. It looks effective but I'd be scared to use that down to the barrier coat on my boat. Or down to the gel coat. Chuc

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint removal

Agree. Cleaned my 36 footer's bottom using the orbital sander w vacuum and it is a huge job. I was in between job opportunities so low on cash w a lot of free time so I did the Interprotect barrier coat too. Did the last bits using wet sandpaper and had a hose clamped on a ladder lightly sprayin

I have to agree with Gary, The only leaning over that I have done this year was to lean over and write Hinckley Yachts a check for soda blasting Honey's bottom, keel & rudder. They also templeted and faired the rudder & keel as well as burnished the bottom. The effort did indeed make my bank ac

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint removal

By and large, I really like using ablative paint. The bottom is not as smooth as a baby's, like what you get with Baltoplate and a couple of days of burnishing. But good ablative paint like Petit ACP60 - now called Ultra SR I think - lasts 3 or 4 years and you strip it with a pressure washer. A

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint removal

I totally agree with you on that, Gary. Did that once on a C&C 27 and never will I ever do it again.I don't think there is any way to avoid inhaling or ingesting some of the toxic dust short of air supplied hoods and even with that after 1 day of such work overhead I could not lift my arms to comb

Somehow, I just don't get it. A friend is having his Morris 36 stripped at the yard where my boat sits (in the water). They went through some peel away stuff, then some random orbital (air powered) and then again with some finer sandpaper. It has been a couple of weeks.. Last year they had t

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint removal

I think the (Bahco) scrapers make sense when there is a heavy buildup of paint. I use VC 17, this year trying Pettit 22, and they have virtually NO buildup. So I just use an Random Orbital Sander like you, only I hook the shop vac onto the sander, and I am almost as clean after sanding as before.

Hi, Scraping off bottom paint is a pain with a cheap steel scraper. Once has to nearly sharpen the blade ever other second. This year I discover using a good tool really matters. Don't use a steel scraper, pay the $23 and get a tungsten carbide scraper. One blade will last a whole side
