When I switched from wire/rope halyards to all rope I removed the sheaves and machined them from a V groove to a U groove. At the same time I replaced the bearings with new oilite bronze. After two years I pulled the sheaves again and the bearings were noticeably worn with cracks at the edges.

Re: Stus-List Klacko

That might have been the mast for Fantome, an R boat at the National Yacht Club. http://www.fantomer18.com/ The mast was replaced in 2013 when the previous wood mast failed. Does look good. Michael Brown Windburn CC 30-1 Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 11:16:16 -0500 From: Ken Rodmell

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

Glad your trip was yesterday. Forecast today is for 70 km/hr winds with gusts to 100 along the shore. Docking would have been interesting to say the least. Michael Brown Windburn CC 30-1 Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 15:12:03 + From: mcrom...@bell.blackberry.net To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List torqing keel bolts

Check the amount of bolt sticking out. You may need a deep or extra deep socket. If the nut is 1 1/2 the bolt is 1 and requires 350 ft/lbs of torque. To me that would be a 1 drive and at least an 18 bar. As a start I would recommend borrowing or renting the appropriate socket, short extension and

Re: Stus-List c and c 29-2 mast cap

Ouch! The club here has two smaller fixed cranes and a pole cat - a used utility truck with a boom arm. The smallest fixed crane will do masts easily up to 30 - 32' boats. All are available for free with volunteers operating the pole cat. For haul out the club hires in two large cranes. So we

Re: Stus-List Landfall 38

You may also want to take a look at the fleets in your area and see who you will be racing against. If the LF38 you are interested in PHRFs in around 165 for white sail that could put you into a varied fleet, possibly a lot of lighter 30 - 32' that will leave you in the dust around the cans.
