Re: Stus-List macerator switch

I have the switch close to the pump so I can hear what's going on. Last pump made all sorts of strange noises just before it defenestrated itself. I also carry a brand new pump because I have been burned before and it's not fun at the best of times. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria,

Re: Stus-List Quick summary of LED nav lights currently available.

Dave, I wrote in a previous post that I had replaced my AS 25 with 40. My mistake, i was talking about the led 33 series. Different look, but smaller and not too flashy. Quality seems good. I can tell you that the victory looks cheap, are big and boxy looking and feel. My opinion, that was the

Re: Stus-List 33-2 secondary winches and t-track - worth considering?

Thanks Jake. The 35iii is a very close bigger sister.OK, so you lead your jib straight to the winch from the genoa track, and it works.. check. Should have thought the spinnaker through - I've only ever flown mine with sheets, no guys, and only in light air. I can see that sailing with the

Re: Stus-List 33-2 secondary winches and t-track - worth considering?

Dave, I find the secondary winches very useful when singlehanding. They are well within my reach. They are essential when running a spinnaker though. I got rid of the turning blocks on the quarters. Yes, they probably helped make a fair lead to the winch, but the extra friction was not worth

Re: Stus-List Butyl tape or is there something better?

Well, the one downside I can think of is, aplying it can be very tedious.  All those thru bolts on the hatches adding the extra bead to the top and bottom of the flange at each bolt and having to penetrate the tape at each hole for the bolt was painstaking and time consuming.  But it beats

Hello all, We had the Lewmar #70 (I still think it is a Coastline, but could not verify it for sure) bow hatch leaking on our 1994 37/40+.  I had looked at it a couple weeks ago, and felt pretty comfortable it wasn't leaking between the hatch and the deck, and started assuming it was being

I did the same thing with a Newport 28 that I owned. Except I use wood battens to span the gap between the settees, , the thin plywood fit under the settee cushions, and a king size air mattress turned athwart ship for sleeping. Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List

Re: Stus-List macerator switch

I put a waterproof switch at the helm near the control panel - advantage is being in a spot where it is easy to pump while underway - which is a requirement in our waters. It is momentary type too - avoids accidently leaving it running. Also makes it easy to see the pump is operating, when the

Stus-List the foam monster that ate the v-berth

I though you guys might enjoy this bit of creative bunk solution! Our prior boat was a 72 35 MK 1. We had a great deal of trouble sleeping in the V berth but didn't want to sleep in separate bunks. So, we created a way to turn the main salon into one king sized bunk. Just a few 1/3"

Re: Stus-List Butyl tape or is there something better?

The only trouble with Butyl tape is that it seals better, lasts longer, is easier to remove, easier to clean up and cheaper. Other than that it is OK.  Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 6:14 PM, Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List the foam monster that ate the v-berth

+1 on the Tuffted topper. We have one for the V-berth but are now spending more nights in the main because there is more space and that is where the TV is (I know, rough life). We do have a matress pad to add to the new cushions for the main. Neil Schiller 1970 Redwing 35, Hull #7 (C 35,

Re: Stus-List Butyl tape or is there something better?

Yes, Butyl is ( in many people's) opinion still the best. What you are probably seeing is that even after decades, butyl sealer still remains pliable. Bed-It really seems to be the best, having used RV and black windshield butyl tapes. Kindest Regards, Bruce 847.404.5092 Please forgive any

Re: Stus-List the foam monster that ate the v-berth

If you don't want to go to the trouble that Joe did, but don't like sleeping on the crack in the V-berth, try a Tufted Topper Pillow-Top Pad. www.tuftedtopper.com. I bought one ten years ago, and it's as comfortable as it was when I bought it. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland,

Re: Stus-List the foam monster that ate the v-berth

Joe, I did the same thing with an mattress from Ikea. I cut it down and actually resewed the cover to fit the new wedge shape so that can be removed and cleaned. The loss of head space is definitely worth the extra comfort. Just a hint to help move it. Put it in a thick plastic bag

I agree with Mike and had the same issue that I repaired on my previous O'Day 25.  My approach was to cut from the top and did a combination of re-use the cut piece of fiberglass and put in new matting.   Key is to get all the old wet and rotting balsa out and replace with new balsa / plywood

Stus-List Hunter 26 in Trouble Yesterday at Chatfield

Yesterday afternoon at Chatfield Reservoir (where I sail) a serious squall passed through. A Hunter 26 had one of her lines fouled in her prop, and couldn't furl her headsail due to fouled rigging. So she was out of control, without effective propulsion or steerage, at the mercy of 60mph winds

Richard: Many C models have the prop shaft angled approx. 6 degrees to portmine doesit allows you to remove the prop shaft without dropping the rudder, if you ever had to. Some say, with a clockwise rotating prop, it helps with the forward prop walk to keep your wheel/rudder

Re: Stus-List Angled Prop Shaft

Hi I have a 1981 34 with an angled shaft. As mentioned it is to allow the shaft to come out without dropping the rudder. On my boat I believe it accentuates the prop walk in reverse. The boat has wicked prop walk, which is definitely not a feature. Don Jonsson Swansong C 34 Victoria,
