Re: Stus-List Fwd: Re: A VERY tough decision

A nice sailing venue like the chesapeake is wonderful.  Or in my case, one of the Great Lakes like Michigan or Superior.However, as I was told many years ago on another comparable issue, halitosis is better than no breath at all.So for many of us in STL, we sail on Lake Carlyle and the winds

Re: Stus-List Dinghy towing length

Hi Jim, Is this a hard dinghy, d'flatable (with x type floor) or a hybrid? I'm intrigued by the high pressure floor d'flatables but haven't tried one yet. Only an optimistic person calls them inflatables 'cause that is not their preference from what I've seen. Cheers, Russ

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision; Lake sailing

Per Neil's description of sailing on the LakesHeck, I'd like to have those conditions! We sail on the Ohio River which is generously listed as a mile wide, but of course, is verrry long(938 miles); we tack a lot! Richard 1985 C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 584.4 Richard N. Bush 2950

Re: Stus-List Dinghy towing length

We towed a light dinghy all the way around Vancouver Island, and usually set it for minimum drag, so 2-3 fingers of pressure in calm weather. As the wind and waves increased, we pulled the dinghy right up on the transom so only the back end is in the water. That also stops the wind from spinning

Hank, I know I live between the tops of Skaneateles and Owasco. Unless the wind is right, you would spend so much time coming about. Lakes aren’t very wide, but your point is well made. Neil From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of henry evans via

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Re: A VERY tough decision

Having had a boat in charter, my experience is that they’re not interested in spending time taking care of the boat; they just want it out making money. I ended up doing virtually everything except routine between-charter cleaning. And some of the charterers did serious damage to the boat,

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Re: A VERY tough decision

Maybe a small time charter would accept you into their fleet? You get to enjoy the boat while on vacation but they take care of it. Josh On Aug 11, 2016 1:29 PM, "Sébastien Lemieux" wrote: > Another possibility that is worth considering is to share the boat (cost > and

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Re: A VERY tough decision

Another possibility that is worth considering is to share the boat (cost and maintenance work) with someone else. Obviously, you would need to know someone you trust on all those levels (sailing and maintenance in your absence). Good luck, -- Sébastien Lemieux Merlot X, C 30-2 1988 Lake

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Re: A VERY tough decision

We love the Bay, but driving a 16 hour round trip to sail is pretty tough. Many of the boats in my marina are owned by people that love 3-8 hours away. They are 99% weekend housing and rarely, if ever, leave the slip. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

When we sold our C and moved aboard our 43' trawler, we kept track of the time devoted to "boatkeeping". We lived aboard for 8 years cruising 31,000 miles.  We found that while in port, boatkeeping ran about 6 to 8 hours a week or roughly an hour a day.  While cruising, boatkeeping takes a back

There is lots of sailing in central New York.  The Finger Lakes stretch 150 miles right across the middle of the state and there is sailing, marinas and yacht clubs on every one of them. Also on the big lake Onandaga near Syracuse.   And a bit farther North you have Lake Ontario and The Thousand

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

Hi Neil, I have a coworker that is in the market for a club racer.  This boat may fit his needs.  I'm going to mention this conversation to him.  I think he would be willing to sail it home from MD. Danny Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device Original message From: Neil Andersen

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

I purchased a C & C 40 that had spent 7 years on the dry. This was 4 years ago. Surprisingly few item were bad, and in fact I still use 2 of the batteries and they seem to be quite good—who knows? Yes I drained the fuel out and replaced, but everything works. I am on Lake Champlain, 2 hours

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

You could even – if zoning allows – have the boat at or near your house. You could get all the projects done and then move her to your desired end location. Joe Coquina BTW – I am betting a one hour drive to a summer lake location will get you more sailing than an 8 hour drive to Maryland. Plus

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

Neil, On the plus side, bringing the boat up to NY means it will live in fresh water and require far less attention to corrosion prevention and bottom painting moving forward. Yes, you'll have a shorter season than in Maryland, but it seems right now that you have no season at all if the boat

If you decide to donate, CBMM, as Joe said, is a very good place. We auction (and sell beforehand, there is a listing on the web which people follow) about 100+ boats a year, and the program is viewed as one of the best.. I am a small part, mostly just fetching boats, but have been involved for

The fact that has been on the hard so long is a negative. Dead batteries bad fuel etc. If you need to maximize your tax deduction try the Baltimore sailing center or Sea Scouts. Joel On Thursday, August 11, 2016, Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Neal, > > Joe’s

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

Neal, Joe's idea of bringing the boat closer to you isn't a terrible idea. If you could transport the boat closer to home, it could remain on the hard until you got the projects sorted out and then, moving forward, find a location, perhaps in the Finger Lakes or Southern Adirondacks that would

Re: Stus-List A VERY tough decision

Thanks Joe. The problem up here (2 hours north of me is Lake Ontario, the finger lakes aren't all that big and tend to be narrow) is that the sailing season is Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Maritime Museum sounds like a worthy cause. Neil From: CnC-List
