15" crack is not too long to weld if it is LDPE plastic.  If you're particularly worried,apply some stainless steel screen between layers. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: detroito91 via CnC-List Date: 9/18/17 6:21

Re: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain

I had a 1977 27 for 16 years that was awgripped before I bought her in 2000.   Looked great, tough as all get out and got compliments right up until the day I sold her.  Clean it up well and apply Poliglow.  Better than Gelcoat IMHO.   Bruce Whitmore 1994 C 37/40+ Dodging Irma... Sent from my

Yeah, I'm not liking the look of it.  Our C 37/40+ is in a hurricane hole harbor in Madiera Beach  (Gulf Coast, Clearwater, FL).  Thankfully we are behind a big brick building and we're on floating docks with no room for fetch to build waves, but still... Bruce Whitmore Sent from my Verizon,

Re: Stus-List considering 1981 C 25

I'll recant part of my post based on Mark's comments. If you can find a boat with RF and self tailers etc. for under  $5K, get the better equipped boat.   However buying a solid boat like a C instead of a poorer brand, no matter how well equipped will likely be a disappointment.   Sent from my

Re: Stus-List 1980 Water Systems Questions

Hi Michael, I was going to disagree with you, but I thought back to my 1977 C 27 MKIII, and remember the inside of the tank was smooth and white, rather than yellowish PTFE like my 1994 C 37/40+. So, for your application, I was dead wrong. I would suspect.a bad fitting rather than a cracked

Re: Stus-List Original Rig, (was US Watercraft receivership)

Agreed on the stack pack.  We've just had ours a couple months,  but the main is so much easier to deal with that we go out more often, and with less stress.  Especially on our new (to us) bigger boat, it's really nice to head up to the wind, release the main halyard and have the sail
