Stus-List New owner, 1980 C 30' MK1, SV "Going"

Still squaring away the details for my second day of boat ownership on my new (to me) 1980 C 30 MK1. Yesterday when I signed the papers, got the keys and cracked a beer to watch my first sunset in the cockpit, I had mixed feelings of elation and a good dose of:

Re: Stus-List C 30 boomvang issue

I'm guessing they were aluminum rivets. "Every high load" rivet I installed in a mast was stainless coated with TefGel. However, to install larger stainless rivets, you need a BIG rivet tool like a Marson Big Daddy. They run about $150. If it were me, I'd punch out the old rivets and reinstall

During my recent "race" in the Lake Ontario 300 (actually the shorter scotch bonnet race) my hydraulic boom bang broke off at the base of the mast. The rivets appear to have sheared off. I have the local boat repair company taking a look, but t I am curious if anyone has suggestions? Bill

Chris — welcome to the great C club! My first sailboat was a 1981 30mkI, hull #677; after ten years, I graduated to a 1979 Landfall 38, hull #009 (I guess I’m going backwards in terms of boat age…). You’ll find LOTS of 30mkI owners on the list, and a wealth of experience about all things C

Stus-List 3M VHB Tape

Now that I have bought the 4991 tape some questions occur to me. Assuming I want the tape to just outline the window opening, can I cut the the tape to go around the corners without sticking to the scissors or sharp blade? The shape of the window opening has some rather quick, tight turns. The

Hi, Fred — as long as the peel-off backing is still on both sides of the tape, you can cut it with a sharp scissors. I just did a square or angled cut as needed to the tape, then butted the next piece right up to the previous piece and kept going. If I understand your second question, when I

Tape the cabin top and window lens (if the protective layer has been removed). "Push" the tip of the silicone gun or tube. Don't pull it. Keep a small bubble of silicone on the front of the tip. That will ensure you are forcing silicone into the gap. Once you've injected the silicone all the

Stus-List Rigid boom vangs - rivets vs screws

Seems to be a difference of opinion. I've installed several but that doesn't make me an expert. I've seen aluminum rivets, stainless rivets, machine screws and hex head bolts. My opinions on each. Aluminum rivets - not strong enough. Will eventually work loose or break. Stainless rivets - my

Hi Bill, I was going to drop by and ask how the race went...but now I know! Like Neil, I just installed a Garhauer rigid vang and tapped out holes in mast (8) and boom (6). Haven't been out in anything more than 18-20 knots yet, but so far so good. Drop by anytime and take a look. Mike Atacama

Re: Stus-List C 30 boomvang issue

For what it's worth, my Garhauer rigid vang (not hydraulic) on my 30-1 fastens to the mast and boom with screws - six or eight screws per base plate. I had to use very specific sizes of drill bits and thread taps matching the fat deep-threaded screws Garhauer sent me. It's a solid installation

Re: Stus-List C 30 boomvang issue

Interesting question, I just finished putting a vang on my 35-1. After much internal debate, and talking to Garhauer from whom I got the fittings, I went with tapped holes/screw, though drilling 8 holes in my mast and 6 in my boom wasn't the most comforting thing to do. My only logic was if

Re: Stus-List Rigid boom vangs - rivets vs screws

When I got my rigid vang  from Garhauer, they suggested the course threads.   The fine threaded screws, they argued are shallower,  and therefore will strip or pull out easier. It might be a good idea to call Garhauer for verification. Good luck, Bruce Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy
