Stus-List Finally Won a Race

I finally won a race tonight - the first time all season out of some 15 races - so I thought I'd share what went right. Finally beat the winning boats in the fleet - two Catalina 27s - boat-for-boat and I don't think they'll correct over me. 1. The wind was about perfect for the 30-1, blowing

Re: Stus-List Fire extinguishers - expiration and inspection

Hi Mike, Have you owned the boat for 15 years? As a broker its a running joke with surveyors- you check the fire extinguishers to find out when the boat sold last. Cheers, Lee On Aug 3, 2016, at 5:55 PM, Michael Crombie via CnC-List wrote: > Interesting discussion...i

Re: Stus-List Fire extinguishers - expiration and inspection

And I’d definitely consider the 1A10BC rated extinguishers for a boat over a 1B. Home Despot has two Kidde 1A10BCs “for recreational use” for a little more than you’d pay for one of the white “Mariner” extinguishers (virtually the same, but white):

Re: Stus-List Fire extinguishers - expiration and inspection

Be aware that the white "marine" extinguishers are completely identical in all ways to the ones at home depot except for the color. All of the ratings, corrosion resistance, etc are the same. There is nothing special about the "marine" ones except the geometrically multiplied price, and that

Stus-List Fire extinguishers - expiration and inspection

Hopefully, many of you already know this but I guess I just missed this one somehow. Saw a recent article on a sailor getting cited by USCG for an expired fire extinguisher. I didn't know they expired. I don't think it's actually in the USCG regs, it's in NFPA 10, "Standards for Portable Fire

Re: Stus-List Flexible solar install

Chuck, Since the dodger is hard starboard I used 1/2" sheet metal screws to hold the panels in place. I was warned beforehand that the starboard and panels would have a differential expansion due to temperature which could cause buckling. To avoid this I replaced the tiny original brass

Re: Stus-List Hard bimini

Pretty sure you meant hard dodger. I have thought about getting a hard bimini too. The engineering and planning is the hold up. Josh On Aug 3, 2016 8:48 AM, "Joel Aronson via CnC-List" wrote: > I see Josh has a hard bimini. Josh and others, did you do it yourself? >

Re: Stus-List Hard bimini

Very worth while. Dan Wood at Canvas creations in Annapolis made mine but Dan seems quite overwhelmed with the amount of time required. It took almost 6 months before I had a completed dodger. I not entirely dissatisfied but would do a little shopping around before using him again. He was

Re: Stus-List Main sheet tackle (was: Flexible solar install)

Marek, I don't use the winch at all though I could. I do use the cabin top clutch... Almost exclusively. I believe that it is actually a 3:1 compounded with a 4:1 = 12:1. In a heavy blow which would require use of the winch I use the 12:1. I call it a tweaker since it allows me to fine tune

Dave, I found the Harken block. The price is not for the faint in heart. http://www.harken.com/productdetail.aspx?sku=401. No question it is better. It has a ratcheting action in the sheaves and you can adjust the angle of the cleat. Garhauer block was around $75 Marek From: David Knecht

Josh, A nice and compact solar arrangement. totally off topic. In your pictures I noticed an interesting main sheet tackle arrangement. It looks like a 2:1 going to the cabin top winch and 8:1 (?) (4:1 + 2:1) at the traveller. Do you find that you use the winch a lot? Different boat

I used ratcheting tie downs to pull the deck down towards the mast step - and an OC6 crew standing on deck around the mast. This was when I forgot to install the straps one year and only noticed days later - the deck had "lifted" or perhaps as Steve points out, the weight of the keel had something
