Re: Stus-List 30-2, Rod rigging tension and rake.

Chad, The mast step on our 30-2 is aluminum, I would imagine that was the standard from the factory.  On mine, I have a good amount of room on the turnbuckles for the larger rod, but the smaller rod is getting closer.  I

Re: Stus-List 30-2, Rod rigging tension and rake.

I'll take a look at the mast shoe, I'm not sure what the 30-2 mast step is made from, but it did seem a lot easier to access the the 30-1 photos I've seen. > ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one

Re: Stus-List Reading lines

The sail area on your LF39 is actually slightly less than the sail area on my 38-2 – and your main is smaller than mine because of the center cockpit. FWIW, all of my reefing lines are 3/8” diameter – Sta-Set if I recall correctly. Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List

Joe I was going to say the same. Years ago Practical Sailor tested radar reflectors and those type tested poorly. Consider it a blessing now you can get a proper one. Mike PERSUASION C 37 K/CB Long Sault > On May 21, 2018, at 11:27 AM, Joe Della Barba via CnC-List >

Re: Stus-List 30-2, Rod rigging tension and rake.

You're not going to appreciably change the rake without shortening/lengthening the forestay and then you'll have to change the placement of the mast shoe on the mast step since the mast will pivot at the partners (deck penetration). The chain plates can look fine but their attachment to the knees

Re: Stus-List 30-2, Rod rigging tension and rake.

I had that happen when my wooden mast step started bowing; shrouds got looser.Replaced the step (it was epoxied oak) with an oily Mexican wood called "paela" (sp?).  Extremely dense, and a bear to cut; wouldn't float.  Also placed a third support between the other two to, hopefully, prevent a

Besides for everything else, those "reflectors" don't actually do anything involving reflecting radar. Joe Coquina C 35 MK I On 5/21/2018 10:14 AM, robert via CnC-List wrote: That is a possibility, but not a probably.the reflector was on the lower port shroudthere was no one in

Re: Stus-List Larzarette Opening Modification on C 29 mk 2

Thanks, that's exactly what I ended up doing and I didn't even have to hack into the tank as the sheet metal was held together with screws. I then only had to get to 13 and 5/8 inches so that only required taking of about 1/8 inch from either side which had plenty of lip to spare. The new West

That is a possibility, but not a probably.the reflector was on the lower port shroudthere was no one in front of or behind me and no sign of anything that might have hit the mast or either the port or starboard side. But that is what one of my marina neighbors suggested in jest!!!

Just finished a sail on Saturday p.m., started the motor and was standing in the cockpit with my back facing the bow when I heard a loud noise, what sounded like a 12 gauge gun go off behind me..felt something hit me in the back, turned around and saw 5 - 6 square pieces of aluminum on the
