Stus-List 30-1 PHRF Rating

Listers- Just wondering how many of you 30-1 owners out there have ever received a PHRF certificate for your boat, and what your rating was. Looking at http://www.ussailing.org/wp-content/uploads/DARoot/Offshore/PHRF/2014%20PHRF%20Handicaps%20Data.pdf, the range is 168-186 with mode 174 and

Re: Stus-List Wiring windex light to running lights [C 34]

We’ve just got an anchor light up there at present and obviously we can’t run our anchor light while sailing. I thought about getting a tricolor, but honestly I am a little leery of other ships only being able to see one light at a time - it’s probably completely unfounded, but I feel like

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

The carbon is twice the price and would need protection from UV. It better be one hell of an improvement. Josh On May 19, 2016 3:48 PM, "Edd Schillay via CnC-List" wrote: Josh, I have an old line-control whisker pole on the Enterprise, which lives on the deck. When

Re: Stus-List Wiring windex light to running lights [C 34]

I planned to install a windex light and then one night realized that my try-color was working wonderfully at lighting up the windex. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On May 19, 2016 10:33 PM, "Andrew Means via CnC-List" wrote: > Just bought a Davis Windex

Re: Stus-List Wiring windex light to running lights [C 34]

Andrew — I added a Windex LED light as part of my recent mast rewire; rather than wiring it to the running lights, I’m putting it on the cockpit switch for the compass light. Pretty easy to find. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI

Stus-List Wiring windex light to running lights [C 34]

Just bought a Davis Windex Light for evening/night sailing and was thinking I’d wire it up to the running lights circuit so it’s on when the running lights are on. Leaving aside the certain fun of getting a new wire up the mast without unstepping it, I’m trying to figure out the best way to

Re: Stus-List Removing Polyglow

That looks like a lot of work . I am not sure how badly oxidized your boat was . Wet sanding will clean up the gelcoat . It will also remove the original gel from the exterior opening it up I am sure . I have never had to wet sand any boat yet that was badly oxidized with the Aqua buff . I

Re: Stus-List Removing Polyglow

I still use Aurora Boat Shine and really like the results that I get (in fresh water). Water still beads up at the end of the season, winter storage streaks wash off well with Aurora boat clean and/or boat scrub. Any really tough areas I use Aurora Black Streak Remover. Started using the

Re: Stus-List Whisker Pole

+1 on the Forespar control Line whisker pole. The telescopic feature is great to accommodate dip pole gybes and facilitate the general handling. We use it all the time, my 105 lbs / 15 year old son is a master at it.. We've had it out in 15-19 knot winds, my son has very little trouble

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

Josh, I have an old line-control whisker pole on the Enterprise, which lives on the deck. When we’ve raced with it, it took a couple of guys on the foredeck to set up and some coordination with the jib trimmer to get the end close to the clew of the sail while extending. I suppose a mast-mount

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

Josh, Yes, mine is a Forespar line control 12-22. I use just a topping lift, what I find happening is that any load on the sheet and the upward load of the topping lift causes the pole to flex. I think the joint at the middle, just a plastic ring at the end of the non-moving tube, gets a

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

As for the asym, yes, same as the 145%. The asym dies as it gets hidden by the mainsail so poling out can help. Forespar sells one called the tri-reacher. I was considering it but you have to pre-set the pole length instead of being able to set the length on the fly with a control line. Neil,

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

I have a similar pole from Forte, not Forespar, with line control. I chose it instead of Forespar (many years ago) because it cost less (but still at least a boat buck, the surface was not as slippery (you can see/feel the carbon fibers) and they made one of the tubes for it match the same

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

Josh, I have the carbon fiber Forespar line control whisker pole for my C 39TM. We had it overbuilt by Forespar so that we can use it a spinnaker pole for the asymmetrical spinnakers as well as the symmetrical spinnakers. The thing works perfectly, but is heavy as heck and you must keep it

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

The pole is essential for running wing and wing if there's any kind of chop. I wouldn't be without one during a cruise. Andy C 40 Peregrine On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 1:08 PM, Neil Gallagher via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I got one for my 35-1 with a 145%, and am really happy with

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

Hi Josh, I’d suggest waiting till you can get the carbon spinnaker pole. It will make all the difference in how often you use it. It will take the compression load to crank the Asym around to allow you to sail deeper, and maybe line up better with the waves, a good offshore trick. Any

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole?

I got one for my 35-1 with a 145%, and am really happy with it. Best thing for cruising, especially light air (ie, Long Island Sound), not to mention an essential item for non-spinnaker racing. I didn't go for the mast-mount, and it can be a bear to get the pole set. Once you've clipped in

Stus-List Whisker pole?

I'm considering a Forespar Line Control whisker pole (LC 13-24) for my C 37+. I'd like to use the mast mounted storage option as well. I would be poling out a 145% furling headsail and an asymmetric spinnaker. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks, Josh Muckley S /V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+

Re: Stus-List Removing Polyglow

Having used Poliglow for a number of years, I would support using it. The major task is to get all the old stuff off the boat, wax, dirt, etc. The PoliPrep should be used to make sure the surface is not full of blemishes or oxidation. It should be an even, dull finish if it had been badly

I followed this regimen on our previous boat. Long, arduous, back breaking work. But the results were amazing. http://www.sailnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52772 Sent from my iPhone > On May 18, 2016, at 11:51 PM, Jim Watts via CnC-List > wrote: > > Some people
