Re: Stus-List Espar furnace repairs

I need this thing to last all winter so to avoid the risk of creating problems, if the power goes out I'll run the engine on the startup cycle just to be safe, then crank the furnace up so it doesn't restart after I shut off the engine. I'm not winterizing the engine due to the fact that it's

Re: Stus-List Espar furnace repairs

I'm glad I'm not alone. I took mine apart a couple of years ago and cleaned it out. Cleaning the glow plug got me a couple of years of starting from battery power alone, but it's back to crawling out to start the motor now. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 24 November 2017

Re: Stus-List Espar furnace repairs

Mine does the same...it's my practice to start the engine, than the furnace, than shut the engine off after a bit. The Heater draws a lot of power on the start cycle and unless you have a large house bank, it will under power and fail to light off.   

Re: Stus-List asymmetrical furling

Hi Bill, I am with Mike on this one. I have a 3 ft selden bowsprit on my 33 mkII and a Facnor asym furler from 2014 that is used with a 92 square meters running asym. We were aware from the beginning this was a compromise, but it allows us to use a big asym short handed and I like it! I have

Re: Stus-List Espar furnace repairs

I was on shore power the whole time- I haven't tried my furnace otherwise on the DC system alone… But transport trucks use these furnaces on 12 V systems... at this point I have no need to do that except for power failure situations over the winter so I guess it's worth testing... I have three

Re: Stus-List 30-1 Cunningham

Thanks Dennis. I’ve got the cunningham, just not the purchase. Mine goes from hook in cunningham cringle down to cheek block at mast base, back up to jam cleat on mast. I also use it to reef. The two other blocks listed in the owner’s manual table I’m sure gave it 4:1 purchase. I’m

Re: Stus-List 30-1 Cunningham

Randy, You can make your own easily enough. Touche' uses a couple of small Ronstan fiddle blocks and a cunningham hook. I fastened a padeye at the base of the mast. I had to add a base under the padeye to stand the block off the mast a bit. A fiddle block with becket is attached to the padeye

Re: Stus-List Espar furnace repairs

On this subject, my espar won't fire up unless either engine is running or I am connected to shorepower. It tries, but won't start. Any ideas? Bill Walker CnC 36 Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Friday, November 24, 2017 billbruce--- via CnC-List wrote: Thanks for the

Listers (especially 30-1 owners) - The 30-1 owners manual Table 4, “C 30 Blocks”, lists one 1750-lb single block, one 1750-lb single block with becket, and one 1200-lb cheek block for cunningham usage. Grenadine doesn’t have the 1750-lb single blocks for her cunningham; just the cheek block

Thanks for the link...very handy for when I might need to do a little tinkering with the furnace. Mine's appears to be working fine right now. Bill Bruce Landfall 38   ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with

Re: Stus-List asymmetrical furling

Hi Bill I sailed on a boat with a furling asymmetrical spinnaker. This system was new in 2011. We had some issues when unfurling. If it was not furled exactly right then somehow one section would be furling while another unfurling. We did sort that out and the next year this was the sail

Re: Stus-List Looking for a C 35 MKI

Thank you. It looks like a beautiful yacht, but oddly enough I am looking for a MKI. It is tempting though. I have heard that the MKIII had construction issues where the keel is attached. Have you heard about that? I would be interested in your comments. Many thanks, Mike Casey On Fri, Nov 24,

Stus-List asymmetrical furling

I would be interested in hearing others with experience with top down furlers for asym sail. I frequently race and sail shorthanded and would love to fly my asym on occasion. I have no problem, even single handed when day sailing, but when racing shorthanded transition at a mark rounding

Stus-List Espar furnace repairs

If anyone is interested in how to re-commission an old espar furnace back into service, I posted a full DIY video on it this week with step by step instructions. My furnace is circa 1989/1992 era and I was able to get it going again after being dormant for 10-15 years mounted near the transom!!
