Re: Stus-List C 110 Owners

I know that some of us participate in multiple sailing forums such as Sailnet, Cruisers Forum, Sailboatowners etc. There is a C 110 specific forum on the Sailingnetworks site that is going to shut down sometime before the end of the year. Unfortunately that site has experienced a lot of trouble

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

I’m a big believer in big anchors. And, as I’ve said before, an old USCG Chief taught me the rule of thumb is at least a pound of anchor and a foot of chain per foot of boat length. So my 38 has a 20 kg Bruce (44#) as primary anchor and a 45# CQR as backup on the bow rollers. I’ve dragged too

Re: Stus-List C 35 Mk III Windlass

Hi Scott mounted inside the locker, snug to the lid. I'm running 60 ft chain and 150 ft of rope. I also modified the locker lid to allow the rode to get in. I can provide pics if you want. Graham Collins Secret Plans C 35-III #11 On 2017-10-02 3:20 PM, Scott Baker via CnC-List wrote: Hi all,

Re: Stus-List Painting the headliner

Adam, Like Fred, I replaced all my removable overhead panels (wooden panels with fabric) with probably the same thing that Fred is using but it’s been so long that I’m not sure. The replacement panels has a nice pebble finish that works with the original surface of the liner on the 37’. I

Stus-List Painting the headliner

Hello fellow listers I am considering painting the headliner of our C 36 as it is looming a little shabby. I would rather paint it as opposed to replacing it. The headliner is probably the original so it would be the wooden panels with the fabric leatherette look. Any suggestions would be

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

Good advice. Gypsies are VERY specific for chain. Size and grade matter. Definitely check and order the correct gypsy or plan on buying new chain. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 1:49 PM, Alan Liles via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I just

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

I just replaced my old breaker blowing, jamming, 14 year old windlass. It turns out that the 50 feet of 3/8 BBB chain and the 200 feet of 3/4 nylon rope were incompatible with the existing gypsy. Gypsies are selective about their rode so if I were buying new I would make sure it would work with

Stus-List C 35 Mk III Windlass

Hi all, I'm interested in installing a windlass on our 1987 C 35 MK III. I'm interested in any other owners with a 35-3 that have a windlass. I'd love to know how you did it? Deck mount? Down inside anchor locker? Chain only or Rope and chain? Anyone have pictures? Thanks, Scott Baker

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 141, Issue 2

Bruce, If you are going to be cruising and adding more chain, I would think a windlass is a must. We have a 35 pound anchor and a short piece of stainless 3/8 chain. When my windlass failed I needed a second set of hands to hoist it. For the islands you need enough chain to keep the line off

It just occurred to me that I misspoke about the 9/16ths chain. *I ment 5/16ths*. Josh On Oct 2, 2017 11:48 AM, "Josh Muckley" wrote: > Bruce, > > I'm in the process of upgrading/modifying my ground tackle in preps for a > manual windlass. The PO had arranged a 35lbs

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

I read this article yesterday. It starts off talking about snubbers but them becomes a discussion of anchor rodes and their shock absorbing ability and how to size rodes accordingly with a discussion about mixed rodes. https://www.sailmagazine.com/cruising/anchor-snubber-tips You may find it

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 141, Issue 2

Here’s what I went with when we outfitted Alera for cruising in the PNW. 44 lb Rockna, 100’ 5/16 chain, 200’ 9/16 rode here. No longer available Quick Genius 1000 windlass. Though, I have no idea if that would be appropriate in the Islands. Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40 Vashon WA

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

Bruce, I'm in the process of upgrading/modifying my ground tackle in preps for a manual windlass. The PO had arranged a 35lbs Bruce claw with 20' of 3/8ths BBB chain shackled to 3/4" double braid which had an eye splice and thimble. The thimble was huge and made retrieving the anchor difficult

Stus-List How the Cookie Crumbles

Yesterday was my turn to be Race Committee in my club’s fall series. It was blowing 20-30mph, gusting 30-40mph. And I was stuck running the races from the RC boat, instead of racing my 30-1. It was easily the windiest day in a CSYC race this year. Everyone was way de-powered and still

Re: Stus-List Landfall 35

Chuck Thank you so much for your input. I have been looking for information online about the landfall 35 and it seems very slim. The C website photo album doesn't have a owners manual in their list of offerings. Do you know where I can pick one up? On Sun, Oct 1, 2017 at 11:50 AM Chuck Gilchrest

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

For my 35, I have 30 feet of 5/16” chain and 150 feet 9/16 nylon. It isn’t likely that our boats could break ¼” chain, but the heavier weight helps with bigger chain and you get more tolerance for losing a little to rust. Likewise with the line, even ½” new un-chafed nylon is very strong. We

Stus-List Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

Hello all, We have a 1994 C 37/40+, and the anchor chain connected to its primary anchor, a 35 lb. Delta, is fused together with rust.  The chain is also about 20 ft. in length, which I suspect is too short, as the conventional wisdom I think is that chain at least as long as the boat is highly
