Hi Ryan, How many women are we talking about here? Have you considered a non-mechanical solution by simplifying a bit? :) Some like it hot... Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 11:09 AM 27/06/2016, you wrote: Hey guys, After some research and having the helpful folks at

Re: Stus-List Bulkheads separated from cabin top (C 34)

Andrew, I get a bit of squeaking between the top of that bulkhead and the underside of the deck when in any kind of sea. A friend who grew up sailing on a 35-1 told me they used to put beeswax in that joint to quiet it down. Not sure if you could anything in there, but might we be worth a

Stus-List Replacing forward hatch on 29-1

Has anyone replaced the forward hatch, in particular on a C 29? I have replaced the lens on mine and it is cracked again because the frame is not true. I am thinking of replacing it with either a Lewmar Ocean series 60 (flat base) or a medium profile 60. The latter has a flange base which will

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Ryan, It is important to note that in Aaron's photo the bimini is above the height of the boom so he has basically maximized the forward projection regardless of main sheet placement. Aaron, How much head room do you think you have under the bimini? Would it be uncomfortable if you were to lower

Re: Stus-List Bulkheads separated from cabin top (C 34)

This is good to hear! One other spot we noticed was where the top of the engine compartment meets the bottom of the cockpit. Creaking happened there when we were headed upwind as well. Is this another area with “natural” flex for others? -- Andrew Means S.V. Safari - 1977 C 34 Mk I Seattle, WA

Nicely done Dennis. I seem to recall you do well most years. One interesting observation. In our West Coast offshore races, we do not allow racers to log in to the tracker. Obviously your SI's allowed that. Ian Matthew C 29-1. "Siento el Viento" San Francisco Bay On Sunday, June 26, 2016,

Re: Stus-List Bulkheads separated from cabin top (C 34)

Hi Andrew As near as we can tell, the upper bulkhead is not bonded to the deck – and for a reason. C’s do flex a bit as they sail – especially as they bash to windward. The lack of this bond allows this flex to happen – all well and good as the stresses are dispersed throughout the entire

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Hey Aaron, Thanks so much. Yeah it looks like yours is in front of the wheel though, correct? Mine is at the very very back of the cockpit. Against the transom basically. So the folks from Genco said that really kills any space for a Bimini. Thanks for the recommendation for Genco though,

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Ryan, This is a photo of my Bimini with standard traveler placement on my 30-1. I got the Bimini from Genco as well. Obviously, it doesn't shade the entire cockpit but it's enough for the helmsman and definitely makes a difference...

Stus-List Moving my traveler 30mki

Thanks Gary and Marek, Gary, do you have any photos of your installation by any chance? If so, I'd love to check out how it's rigged. Does your sheet attach to the end of the boom in the same place? Do you have a bimini with this setup? Thanks again guys. Always easy to find help here.

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Boom height is certainly a concern since regardless of the main sheet placement the boom will still limit the height of the bimini. Consider a hard top option. Since the hard material supports itself you have more versatility than with fabric. You may be able to work with a designer to develop

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

A couple of questions. 1)  What is the height of your boom? Pre '77 the factory standard was pretty low, under 6' from the cockpit sole to the underside of the boom. 2) When you say "moving the traveler to just in front of the companionway" I assume you to the stern of the companionway. Are you

Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki & main trim

I find that I only move the traveler to windward in fairly light air. But then, since I have the shoal draft version, I don't try to point to high.  If I can tack through 90deg in light to average wind I'm happy.  That's good enough for workin on the river.RonWild CheriC 30-1STL From:

Re: Stus-List Bulkheads separated from cabin top (C 34)

Hi Andrew, I have a similar looking issue on my 1978 C 34, Also have very slight dimples in the hull at the same places. I've never sensed movement, and thought not as much as yours, I can see that my bulkheads are not set in as deep as they may have been at the build. Aft sides of the bulkheads

Stus-List Bulkheads separated from cabin top (C 34)

Hey all - Last week while S.V. Safari was bashing upwind offshore en route to Tofino BC I noticed that the forward bulkheads were creaking. Upon closer inspection I realized that they had separated entirely from the cabin top by moving inboard about 1.5cm. Here’s the port bulkhead:

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Gary and all 30-1 owners- Regarding "how often is your traveler car centered" - well, how often are your traveler cars centered? When close-hauled on your 30-1s, are you in the habit of pulling the car to windward a bit? My main has leech telltales as well as telltales on both sides farther

Re: Stus-List Engine and Prop Vibration

Robin, Ultimately, you're responsible because you accepted the boat for purchase post survey, but I would be hesitant to give the surveyor any recommendations since this was something he missed and could have been inspected if the boat was on the hard or detected the vibration if the boat was in

Stus-List Engine and Prop Vibration

It turns out that the violent engine vibration on my 33 mark 2 was due to a bent propeller shaft and old, worn Gori folding prop both of which I have changed. Everything runs smoothly now and the problem is completely eliminated. Thanks for all the advice and recommendations, especially from

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Ryan, different boat, but.. On my previous boat, a C 24, I had a traveller about a foot astern from the companion way. There was no bridge deck there. There was no issue with the boom attachment – if anything the bail was moved back. It was great for controlling the sail, but it wrecked havoc

Re: Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

I moved my traveler on my 30-1 from in front of the wheel (all of two feet long and nearly worthless) to across the companionway. I know, it is a pain to climb around when one has to go below, but how often is your traveler car centered? I thought about putting it over the companionway hood,

Stus-List Moving my traveler - 30mki

Hey guys, After some research and having the helpful folks at Genco Marine look at photos of my boat, I've come to the conclusion that it's nearly impossible to shade my cockpit while under sail unless I move my traveler. I have a 1976 30mki with a single back stay and a tiller. The traveler is

Stus-List Fan Frustration!

I bought two new fans and they both are NOISY! WTF? The old ones I was replacing because they made too much noise were better despite probably having run for 1,000 hours. I got one of these, CAFRAMO Two-Speed Compact 12V DC Fan and one of these, CAFRAMO Sirocco Cabin Fans. Joe Coquina
