Stus-List sailboat trailer for C 24

Can anyone suggest a place to rent a trailer to move a C 24 from Maryland to Alabama? Or a service provider? Thanks, Doug ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated. If you want

Stus-List whisker pole

Hey, I am not an expert but I will try to answer your questions. I race spinnaker on my friend's C 35 mark 3, and non spin on my 110. When racing non spin I find that is it best to sail down wind directly to the mark, sailing the least distance. Typically this will be dead downwind. My whisker

Re: Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

I race handicapped by PHRF Lake Ontario which has no rating adjustment for whisker pole length.  I picked up a Forespar Line Control which goes out to 22', a fair bit for a 30' boat. In light air, 4 knots TWS, setting the sails perpendicular to the wind works as well as anything else I have

Re: Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

PHRF limits spin pole length to J for rating. Local clubs may allow longer pole in non-serious racing, but they should be consulted before you get protested by a competitor for using a pole longer than J. Chuck, Resolute, 1990 C 34R Lake Michigan phrf limits whisker pole to J... Bill

Re: Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

Limiting to LP makes more sense. My association's bylaws are moot on whisker poles. However, I sometimes see whisker poles limited to J in sailing instructions for a particular regatta. If you're flying a 155 then the sail won't be fully extended and will flop around. Been there, done that,

Re: Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

Not sure about other areas, but in my area (Western LIS) PHRF limits the whisker pole length to LP without time adjustment.  If you use a J-length spinnaker pole as a whisker pole in non-spinnaker events, then you get a 3 sec credit.  And you do need a band on the whisker pole if it's

Re: Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

David, Not sure how much it actually changes sail performance, but even if you have an adjustable whisker pole, most PHRF handicappers will hit you with a penalty if the pole length is longer than the “J” for your boat. When I had a C 25 mk 1, I had to put a black band on my adjustable

Re: Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

Check your local rules – some areas (ours for one) only allow the pole to be extended out to the J measurement (forestay to mast). That may restrict you from the optimum sail shape. Gary From: CnC-List On Behalf Of David Knecht via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 12:42 PM To:

Stus-List Downwind sailing- Whisker pole length and height

We race non-spinnaker class and a few years ago I got an extendable whisker pole for the genoa. I am unsure about optimal settings for pole height and length. I suspect it is sometimes suboptimal because I have noticed some boats able to carry the genoa poled out at much closer angles than I

Robert, That looked like tons of fun. I'm a lucky man because my wife enjoys putting the rail in the water. I'm usually the one worrying because she has no regard for the forces involved. She broke the undersized mainsheet shackle on our first solo sail because the PO never pushed the boat as

Stus-List 37/40 Genoa track & traveler

Re: Stus-List Genoa track leaking on a '94 37/40+, can't seem to access underside?

When I ground out the headliner to get to the cabin-top under-deck (what a mess) to install my blade tracks, I had the boat yard fabricate a routed strip of teak to cover the whole mess. Looks like it was always there. David F. Risch, J. D. Gulf Stream Associates, LLC (401) 419-4650

Having trouble visualizing your set up but would a flip flop block mounted on the bulkhead help? https://www.harken.com/productdetail.aspx?sku=2145 Or a swivel cam cleat like a Harken 462 or 240? https://www.harken.com/productdetail.aspx?sku=240 I use the latter on Touche' but have a bulkhead

Re: Stus-List Genoa track leaking on a '94 37/40+, can't seem to access underside?

Hi Edd, I think Rob Ball's idea is probably spot on, as the liner is factory, with no repairs to old holes.  I could never have matched the surface of the liner, and I don't think anyone else could have either.  We'll see what Rob has to say. Thanks for chiming in! Bruce Whitmore (847)

Re: Stus-List Genoa track leaking on a '94 37/40+, can't seem to access underside?

Hi Rob, Yes, I'm sure the track was original, as it is Lewmar equipment and matches everything else on the boat. I was thinking something similar (I was wondering about bedded nuts, but your approach makes a LOT more sense).  If you look at this photo you can see a "step" where the track is

Re: Stus-List Genoa track leaking on a '94 37/40+, can't seem to access underside?

Was this track installed when the boat was built . . . . ? I know that occasionally fittings were installed by laminating a strip of aluminum into the laminate – then tapped, so the machine screw didn’t have a nut on the under side. Having lost most of my memory now, I can’t say if this was

Re: Stus-List Genoa track leaking on a '94 37/40+, can't seem to access underside?

Bruce, That is fascinating, On the Enterprise, there are holes with plastic covers all along that underside. I’m guessing the previous owner of yours sealed that all up. I wonder why. I’m thinking you’re going to have to figure out exactly where the holes were and drill new ones (and get new

Re: Stus-List Traveler improvement, C 37/40+

Bruce, My cam cleats are right at the traveler (which is cabin-top on a C). I use a continuous line that is long enough to bring back to the binnacle. An neighbor convinced me to try it and I would not do anything different – ever. It allows me to control the traveler from the helm most

Re: Stus-List Genoa track leaking on a '94 37/40+, can't seem to access underside?

Hi Mike, That is an interesting thought which I had never considered.  It is only about 3/8" thick, but if it is covering a gap in the head liner, that would allow a wrench to get on the nuts.  Before I tear up the bungs & such, does anyone else have any direct experience with this setup?

Hello all, The traveler on our '94 C 37/40+ is really kind of a pain.  The original unit has 4 sheeves with a cam cleat on each side (two sheeves on the sliding traveler part, and two mounted in the end caps to the track). Originally when I got the boat, the line then went to a cheek block
