Re: Stus-List Forward hatch in a 30-2

Hi Len, I am having a similar problem with the forward hatch on my 30-2 as well. I have not looked at the hinges that closely yet, but I will tomorrow and let you know if they can be 3D printed or not. I have access to several high-end printers at work and should be able to figure out what would

Stus-List Spinnaker pole end fittings

Hi Bruno, I have done foredeck on several boats. Both end-o's and dip pole, I like the triggers for dip pole but I don't feel that they would be any advantage at all for end for end. And on 35' and smaller boats you definitely want to be doing the end-o's. I suggest to keep it simple and stick

Re: Stus-List 33-2 portlight material

Hi Dave, I used 6mm acrylic with a light bronze tint when I did mine this spring and it matched the original perfectly. It is my understanding that the UV and scratch resistant polycarbonate get those added properties from coatings applied to the surface and that these coatings don't last that

Re: Stus-List Rigid Boom Vang?

Hi Shawn, I always take my main halyard to the back end of the boom, when not sailing. So you can still use that to lift the boom a bit higher then what the vang will. Morgan On Fri, 28 Jun 2019 at 13:55, Shawn Wright via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > One thing I do like about the

Re: Stus-List Adding cover to line

The C 115 that I used to crew on had the same issue, tried smaller jaws in the clutch, which helped but not much. In the end, what worked was adding the second core to the 5' of halyard where the clutch needs to grab. On that boat, we also removed some core from the tail end of the halyard, which

Re: Stus-List Thoughts on '77 C 29?

Hi Shawn, don't let the diagram scare you. My 30-2 is even higher on the chart. All it means is that you need to reef early to keep the admiral happy. I feel that any boat that has a decent amount of power in the sail plan will rank up there. You can always reduce sail area in heavy weather, but

I have sourced them at Napa, for my M3-20, at a reasonable price. If I get back down to the yard today, I will post the make and model that I have. Morgan On Sun, Apr 14, 2019, 12:33 John Christopher via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Two of the 2 glow plugs on my 1983 weaterbeke

Re: Stus-List Universal engine coolant drain plug

Hi David, do you have engine heated hot water on your boat? If so, you could disconnect those hoses. Run one to an empty 5 gal bucket and the other to one with fresh water. Run the engine until the fluid coming out is clear. You could do this a couple of time to flush the system then refill with

I would love to hear Mr. Ball chime in on this thread, if possible, from a mast design point of view. I have been told by a very experienced offshore sailor and the instructor of Offshore Sea Survival courses, that the masts are designed to have a mainsail hoisted and are not stable or properly

Hi Josh, Thanks for the feedback, and great video! I believe my friend had used the conventional Y-style soft shackle design made from Dyneema. I like the look of your's much better (see a better soft shackle, http://l-36.com/soft_shackle_9.php) as there is no need to try to milk the cover back to

Re: Stus-List engine oil filters and Car talk

I agree with Andrew on this one. In the past I was have issues with race engine and was changing filters often and cutting them open to try to identify where the wear was coming from. In doing this we cut open several different makes of filter. Fran were the absolute worst! Since then I only buy

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Spraying soap into Yanmar turbo

Be careful to pour the water in slowly and it will work very well. One of the tricks used to get more power out of high performance diesel engines is to install a water injection system. It works like nitro in a gas engine. If have seen pulling match and black exhaust smoke suddenly turns white...

Re: Stus-List was considering C 25, now Pearson 27 or C 30

That C 30 is a Mk-2 design. I just bought the same model this spring and we love it! I decided on this model for many reasons, I hate 2 footitis for one, it is very easy to single hand, and it is one beautiful boat! The family we bought it from had 2 daughters (6&9) and the girls had no problem
