Re: Stus-List Post question on CnC discussion list

Dave & Antoine, What it seems like is that there should be some upward angle but better at the mast fitting. So it seems that I'm best checking at the mast to see if there is an angle at the fitting or not. My spreaders are pictured in the link below trying to show the bend in them. Would

Rodney, Nice pic of the rigging. Somewhat surprised though that you mention all original never reheaded. I thought the norm was to do this by now. My spreader pic is linked below, trying to show the angle. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dx8rxhya2dyummc/AACODZtg41WU01YI-AxHtfAIa?dl=0 With the 2 tangs

Re: Stus-List Post question on CnC discussion list; now C 33-1 spreaders

Tom. I'm no rigger but I too have a C 33-1. Also, ours is not the original mast so things are different and I do suggest you discuss this issue with a professional rigger. I believe the spreader should be angled up as you see on yours. The trick is to direct the load evenly from the shroud so

Re: Stus-List Post question on CnC discussion list

Hi Tom, Yes, the spreader should be upward biased and 10 degrees is the correct angle. That is to ensure the angle formed between the spreader and the shroud are the same above and below the spreader. Now, this angle is usually obtained through the fitting on the mast. I’m unclear from your

Larry, No need to lubricate the cutless bearing. They are water lubricated. The allen screws are what help to hold it in place. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY On 4/15/2017 10:47 AM, Larry via CnC-List wrote: I hope this is not a stupid question I am 4 years new to

I hope this is not a stupid question I am 4 years new to sailing. I own a 1986 38-ft CnC. I decided to paint the bottom of my boat, change the zincs and lube the maxi prop myself this year. I noticed that the cutlass bearing has four allens screws that look exactly like the screws in the maxi
