Our first sail of the season - beautiful beam reach most of the day from Portland to Boothbay Harbor, our C 41 topping 9 knots! Unfortunately we took our eye off the current when we pulled up our first anchoring attempt (too close to lobster pots) and drifted into ledge. In the pounding I couldn't

Stus-List Emergency tiller

2020-03-20 Thread Will Gerstmyer via CnC-List
Hi, I am impressed with the birth of the emergency tiller. However, it would appear that I’d have to remove the wheel pedestal to have room for it to work. If so, does anybody have any experience doing that?? I’m also thinking 1986–this sucker is likely to be very challenging to unbolt!

Stus-List Rooftop A/C and deck hatch

Hi all, I’m new. Joy and I have a 1986 CNC 41. We have bought a rooftop A/C unit that would fit over our V-berth hatch. My problem is I can’t figure out how to either remove the hatch lid, or remove the glass in the hatch lid in order to create the needed opening. The hinges I thought I could
