Re: Stus-List 35 MK III

I don't have much to add beyond what Jake said, but I bought a 35-III about a year and a half ago and have been living aboard for a little over a year. I love it. Agree with Jake that you'll be reefing early and often, but as long as you limit it to the appropriate amount of canvas it's a really

Sounds like a good solution. To get the same effect at the dock, you could probably run a line (jib sheet might be a good candidate) between the two winches and tighten it up just enough to hold them in place. Sam 35-3 Scoundrel (f/k/a Spanish Dancer) SF On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 5:53 AM, robert

Francois, I race on a Santa Cruz 50 that uses a velcro clew strap on a loose footed main. I don't know where the owner got the strap but it's fairly heavy webbing with velcro on both sides that loops through the clew and around the boom two or three times. (That's while sailing unreefed - I've

Stus-List Stupid Reefing Mistake

Hi all, Just thought I'd share a dumb mistake I made in case anyone out there doesn't reef very often and might learn from it when the time comes. I went out on Sunday with a few friends in heavy air, with the main fully reefed to the second reef points. I don't keep lines in my reef points so

If it's just the joker valve, you don't need to buy a WC part (which seems hard to find). I picked up a Jabsco valve at West Marine because it's all they had and it worked fine in my WC head. Seems like all the 3" joker valves are basically interchangeable. Pretty easy job, too, and much

Ouch. My version of Lesson 1 was when I was in college and an older alumnus invited our team to race with him on his Serendipity 43. We went out for a practice day, and as team captain and one of the only people with non-dinghy race experience, I ended up as the de facto crew chief. We get the

Same here. I bought my 35-3 this winter to live aboard and pleasure sail, but I do my racing on other boats. Even if you're new to it, I would expect that it shouldn't be too hard to find reasonably good racers looking for extra crew. It's terrific experience. I'm hoping to enter mine in some

I replaced the head discharge hoses on my 35-3 a couple weeks ago. Someone (not sure if it was C or the previous owner) had used fuel hoses for that on mine. There is definitely a wire coil in there, and after a few decades on the boat the hoses were very reluctant to go anywhere. I used an old

Re: Stus-List Additional forward bilge pump

I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone can come up with a good reason not to do this, but one solution (if the two compartments are not connected) might be to have the pump from the forward area discharge into the main bilge aft of the mast. Avoids clogging check valves and wouldn't require a
