Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

“Ease the sheets, turn upwind, whatever but don't winch the furling line.” Actually, I find that turning downwind is much easier - no flogging sail, less force on the sheet and you might even shadow your jib with the main. Easy. Other than that I fully agree with Dennis. A big point: never use

Re: Stus-List Wikipedia. featuring a few different C models

It seems that the edits are coming from someone from our Club. All pictures are from the lake we sail on. There are probably close to 50-60 C boats at the Club. Marek Ottawa, ON From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of RANDY via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2017

Re: Stus-List Derelict C 24 MKII

I had a C 24 and it is a great boat. But you can get one for the price of the sails and the motor. I am not sure if $2k would buy a good one, but $4k-$5k for sure. Yes, run as far as you can Marek Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Chuck

Re: Stus-List Renaming ceremony

if I remember correctly, a part of the denaming ceremony should be backing up the boat, preferably under the sail. Did you manage to do that (under the sail)? Marek From: svpegasus38 via CnC-List Sent: Friday, August 4, 2017 01:43 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: svpegasus38 Subject: Stus-List

Stus-List Solar panel repair

Hi, I have a flexible (rollable) solar panel (PowerFilm, bought it at Defender a couple of years ago). It worked great for a few seasons, but this year it stopped. A bit of troubleshooting showed up that the battery generates power, but the short cable with a plug (pigtail) must have a problem

Re: Stus-List Reefing Lines for C 24

Kreg, On my C 24 there was a reefing horn at the gooseneck. I used it extensively and it worked fine. Eventually, I added a dog-bone through the reefing cringle at the tack, so it was easier to hook it up. At the clew, I used a reefing line through a cheek block to a small horn cleat on the

Re: Stus-List synthetic oil

Mike, There are some reports that synthetic oil may dissolve some of the residues left on different parts, which may lead to sudden increase of the oil usage. Of course, this applies to older engines. The general rule of thumb is that if you used non-synthetic oils in the past (and did it for
