Re: Stus-List Splicing RG58 coax

save the removed insulator, split it and use it over the joint. You want as 'smooth' joint as possible. The cable is designed with 'that' insulator, reuse it. Leslie. spent many years communicating with spacecraft millions of miles away, using BIG antennas...

Alan, practical sailor reviewed hook and loop fasteners recently. Suffice it to say, as with everything boat related, evolution happens... in a good way. I was very impressed with the options available, some absurdly strong. I will track it down and send to you. Are you out tomorrow for the

Stus-List C 29 sails for sale

I sold my C 29-2 and have four nearly new racing headsails for sale. I figured I'd give the cnc-list members first shot at them before listing them elsewhere. Here's some basic information: UK Silver 130%, Haarstick 100%, North 145%, Haarstick 125%. They are all high tech laminates with luff

Re: Stus-List Velcro Adhesive

OK Dennis, What do you mean Snap In? Did you install snaps or maybe build a teak frame and stretch mosquito screen like a painting, and wedge it into the fiberglass liner somehow making it stay there? Surely you have some cleaver hocos-pocus or little round head screws? Please say master. .

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Hi Patrick, My standing rigging was replaced about 5 years ago with all wire. This was done before my time, but I did replace one of the fittings which as I recall is a Navtec Series 500 fitting. I believe the new rigging, including Kenyon spar and boom, was done by Rig-Rite. - Paul E.

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

I was intimidated by rod until I talked too my local boutique marina. They had no qualms and no hesitation. They don't do the heading themselves but rather send it to Annapolis. I don't know who. I was faced with many of the same questions and emotions regarding my rig. I had it inspected and

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Patrick, for what it's worth, and this may not be much, the Lf is a more of a cruising biased design, and if that's the intended use and safety and reliability are paramount, and all else is equal, I'd convert to standard, stranded wire. As to the responsiveness attributed to every C yacht

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

If you go back a few weeks on the list you will find a lengthy post from me telling about my experience replacing all the #10 rod on my 38 mk2 with Dyform wire. The wire has a little bit higher tensile strength than the rod. It is slightly – like a few thousandths – larger in diameter than

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Patrick, I’m going to be going through the same decision making process that you are. I met with a rigger yesterday to get some suggestions and quotes on replacing the standing (and running) rigging on my boat. There are options, of which I will find out. When he gets back to me with his list

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Ok, I've found out a lot more in the last 3 weeks, but am frustratingly no closer to making a decision. All I've learned is that Navtec parts are really expensive and complex. And that everyone I talk to disagrees with the previous person (ie, even professional riggers don't agree on what is

Re: Stus-List Head Removal...no what.

3M makes these great scrubbing/sanding disks that work well for cleaning up the gasket surfaces. You can also check the flatness of the head and block. The head bolt holes should also be chased carefully with a tap. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Nov 19, 2016 4:28 PM,

Stus-List Head Removal...no what.

So the head is off the boat (big thanks to fellow lister and Boat Yard Buddy Danny) and in the basement awaiting delivery for the re-build. What beside vacuuming out the cylinders (of the head's bolts dust) should I be doing to the top of the block? Sand it while protecting the cylinders?

Re: Stus-List Velcro Adhesive

Alan. Isn't FRP "blasphemy" in a salon or so I thought that was the consensus when I did mine. I tried the Velcro route and didn't like the look. Too bulky at the edges. I used 4200 to secure the panels. So semi-permanent. I re-bedded everything prior. Had to brace the panels in place

Re: Stus-List Velcro Adhesive

Try some 3M Command strips. They make some with hook and loop. I think they may be the picture hanging strips. At the very least, the adhesive will come off without staining. I use 3M Command hooks in the galley to hang important things like bottle openers. :) They've been attached to the

Thanks but the knock off antenna is installed and works fine. I was more curious about the splicing than anything. Dennis C. On Sat, Nov 19, 2016 at 11:07 AM, Gary Nylander via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > My rather old Grady White boat (auction item) came with a Garmin antenna >

I got a free Garmin 182C without an antenna, but I had an old Standard Horizon GPS antenna lying around, plus a piece of cable with the right connector on it, so I spliced the cables as noted above and it works like a charm. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 18 November 2016

My rather old Grady White boat (auction item) came with a Garmin antenna and long cable. My chartplotters (172C – one of which quit acquiring satellites, so I got another off eBay – then the old one started working again) have their own antennas. If you want my antenna, it is yours. Send a

Re: Stus-List Velcro Adhesive

Alan – My panels are original and Velcro. The only thing I’ve found to reattach the existing tape, or securely hold new, is epoxy. I’ve tried so many different things I’ve lost track of all of them, but virtually everything else has failed within a year. It’s an aggressive solution,

Re: Stus-List Velcro Adhesive

My panels are velcro'd all around and screwed in each corner. The velcro that the PO used was the self-adhesive kind and it hasn't lasted well. It also left sticky bits in all the wrong places as it failed, so it's difficult to replace. If it was my choice, I would use a good quality solvent-based
