Re: Stus-List now cored hulls

Not directly C but prior to my 27-5 I owned a Kirby designed DS-22. The transom was cored, rotted and during the replacement process I determined the reason to be from stainless screws which had gone through the aluminum cap rail down through the core. After 25 or so years the seal had failed

Stus-List Sun protection for headsails.

An alternative to adding various sun covers on roller furled sails is to use a sleeve from ATN or a local canvas shop. This one cover will provide protection for ANY furled headsail so you need only add it once for the the boat. Probably costs more initially than a sewn on cover but it protects

Quantum provides TEFLON coated sail slides--they are really slick and no need for a Tides sail slide system! Bob Bob Boyer (443) 994-1802 S/V Rainy Days (1983 C Landfall 38 - hull #230) Annapolis, MD (presently in Baltimore) > On Mar 26, 2016, at 10:45 AM, Rjcasciato via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

Quantum strongly recommends the Sunbrella sun cover too. Bob Boyer (443) 994-1802 S/V Rainy Days (1983 C Landfall 38 - hull #230) Annapolis, MD (presently in Baltimore) > On Mar 26, 2016, at 5:42 PM, Frederick G Street via CnC-List > wrote: > > You get sun in Seattle?

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

You get sun in Seattle? :^) I’ve been there a fair amount, usually either in March/April or August, and I’ve actually seen the sun quite a lot. All of Mount Rainier, too. I’ve also been in contact with RT sails; they have been really pushing against me getting a Dacron sun cover,

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

Our sailing season is just starting, but even in the off season we’ll find days to get out and take the boat for a spin. We’ve done a few sails already this year. We have new sunbrella sail covers so the main will pretty much always be dry and protected from the sun.   --  Andrew Means S.V.

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

That's a good point.  Will you be able to sail 12 months a year?  Our sails spend almost 6 months a year in storage.  I'm sure that proper stored sails last longer just due to less exposure.  Improper stored sails will probably need replacing sooner than ones that remain on the boat all year. 

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

A friend got RT sail (135) about two years ago. It is quite OK for cruising, BUT he had to replace the dacron sun-cover with Sunbrella and repair some of the stitching. It cost him $800. The sail spent "all the time" on the furler since we get to sail 12 months a year (SoCal). Leslie.

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

I purchased a Rolly Tasker 155% genoa a couple of years back, very happy with the price and the sail. To another poster's point, I don't have the experience to tell a design flaw or poor design. All I know is that I can trim the sail very nicely, that's good enough for me. I think I'de be in the

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

Andrew: Definitely ask for the Cunningham ring..it should be an easy addition AS far as the sail slugs goI strongly recommend looking at the Tides Marine Strong Trackit is a nylon/Delrin track that slides up inside your original sail slot and the slugs are now polished

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

Oh one more thing,  I'd recommend getting a price from precision.  They'll help make aye your measuring is within reason.   They spent hours on the phone with me for the replacement of that RT I was trelling you about.  You can get an online quote within hours.   They'd give you 3 300, 400 &

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

I did lots of sail research and I came to the same conclusion you did about Rolly Tasker.  However,  I ended up going local on my last boat because they offered a boat show discount which brought them much closer.  I intended on keeping that boat fur a long time and thought the higher quality

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

$1500 is a third of what I paid for my main. Great price! My only concern would be, do you have the knowledge to detect design or build flaws? If you found flaws, what would your recourse be? Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Mar 25, 2016 8:35 PM, "Andrew Means via CnC-List"

Re: Stus-List Rolly Tasker Sails

Definitely get a Cunningham so you can properly trim the main upwind in a breeze. I here you on price. That $1500 sounds very reasonable! On Fri, Mar 25, 2016, 6:44 PM Joel Aronson via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > My 135 came from There. I am very pleased with it and would not
