Stus-List Stuffing Box

Folks my 1990 34+ has the PSS shaft seal system. I want to swap it out for a traditional stuffing box and am looking for advise on which stuffing box manufacturers to look into. My prop shaft is 1 &1/8” which may be a challenge finding a suitable match but hopefully not a big deal. Thank you

Stus-List Recommissioning Advise

We are planning to splash our 1990 C 34+ fall and need wisdom/advise from the group. DejaVu has been on her trailer with mast down for the past 5 years and we haven’t given her any attention. I am looking for comments & advise on “what maintenance” we should compete prior to putting her back in

Re: Stus-List New-guy C 40 Shopping questions- now Autopilot

Folks, I asked a question a few weeks ago and not sure if I got an answer back from the group. So here goes again (and if I missed your reply ... appologies) Has anyone had experience with a yard lifting a C with one of those large marine folk lifts? A marina in Florida has a fork lift with 20'

Stus-List Marine Fork Lift vs Travel Lift - C 34+ ?

Folks, A Marina has offered to try and use their boat fork lift (80,000 lb) to lift Deja Vu’ off the custom trailer we have - splash her for whatever period of time we sail and then lift and put back on the trailer. So it’s a “dry sailing” option if this could work? The Marina operator reports

Re: Stus-List 34+ traveller relocate

Speaking of “good autopilots” has anyone installed an under deck autopilot on a 34+? I think it would be possible although the installation would be a job for a very small person ;) Stephen Thorne 34+ Deja Vu’ On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 6:31 PM Andrew Means via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com>

Re: Stus-List Main sheet Traveler Location

David - have you ever looked into installing a traveler set up in front of binacle on your 34+? I haven’t explored the details for this modification but doesn’t seem too complicated. I did this project on my first C, a 24’ that I had at the municipal harbor in New Orleans pre Katrina days.

I’ve owned Deja Vu for 10 years and raced & cruised all over and across the Gulf of Mexico, many times. I always had a full crew 3 + 1 for offshore sailing. We did experience a failure of the steering system idler plate and ended up completely rebuilding the steering system. Lesson learned -

Re: Stus-List C as offshore boat?

I agree with Josh on all points. When I bought Deja Vu' I intended to sail offshore on certain races but with most of the time local sailing & racing on Lake Ponchatrain and the Gulf Coast area. We ended up doing a lot more offshore sailing that originally planned and for the most part she

Re: Stus-List Gybe preventer

We used a boom break on DejaVu for offshore racing and it worked great. Its mid-boom attachment system however not so much a preventer as a break being applied (think driving your car) to slow down the energy of an accidental jibe. We used to do intentional jibes at speed with good winds
