Re: Stus-List Propane hose

The size of gas piping is based on an allowable pressure drop. The regulator should be adjusted to deliver at 11" of water column (approx 0.4psi). For propane appliances the allowable drop is 1". The Canadian residential gas code I have has 3/8 copper tubing, this would be about 5/16 ID, so

Re: Stus-List Propane hose

Bob — actually, using two separate hoses is a requirement; it’s not safe to have any “taps” or tees outside of the propane locker, so all hoses must split after the solenoid in the locker and be continuous runs to the end point. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall

Re: Stus-List Propane hose

Personally, I would use two separate hoses for the devices, both led from the solenoid. The Trident solenoid is cheap and rusts quickly—I prefer the made by (I can’t think of the name right now) but it is made of aluminum and stainless steel. There is a lot of condensation that is created in

Steve, Have a C Mk2 that we cruise and race in all the different weather that we have in New England ( Spring and Fall 15+kts, late July/early Aug light air).   One of he great things about her for cruising is that I have a 145 cruising roller furl headsail that we use alone (no main) in

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Shawn, One of the boats you mention as possible candidates is a CS30. I have considerable experience on a friend's CS30, and I can tell you that they are great boats, well constructed, and eminently suitable both for PHRF racing and couple-of-week cruises. They are very similar

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

I’m a huge fan of the CS30 and have raced on them. I find the cockpit too constrictive to be raced efficiently compared to C in that size but they are perfect for cruising. The interiors are thoughtful and well put together and represent the best of design prior to the trend to move the head

Shawn: Your on the West Coast, I live on the East Coast.the Great Lakes is in the middle and there are a lot of boats on the Great Lakes, possibly many for sale. In 2005 I sold a Kirby 25 and was looking for a C 30 MKI all along the East Coastcouldn't find one that I was interested

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Correct the 35 mkii is very good in light air but that depends on good sails and crew. And also very good in rough seas. The motion comfort factor from the sailing calculator on the cncphotoalbum site predicts very good performance for its length and displacement in rough seas. It is particulary

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

In my view, although older, the C 35 Mark 2 is a great all round boat. We won our class in the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean race in light airs, and on the trip down in strong headwinds and rough seas, the flare forward kept the bow from submarining into the waves when much larger boats couldn’t

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Try looking at a 34. Love ours. We are second owner and had her for 20 years. Great in all conditions excels in light air. Well built. Traditional layout that just works well. Large enough for hot water, stove with oven, etc. Easily handled by couple. Cruise 4 very comfortably.

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

I was really focused on rough weather performance when I was shopping but the reality was much different. After some foolhardy excursions we chose not to sail in rough conditions, it wasn't fun. Out there on the West coast you might not have the choice all the time. This is something I would

Re: Stus-List Propane hose

Yes, I forgot that it was also a requirement. Marinetics is the name of the solenoid manufacturer that uses aluminum and stainless steel for construction. It costs more than Trident but well worth it in my opinion. Bob Bob Boyer S/V Rainy Days (1983 C Landfall 38 - Hull #230) Blog:

Just a bit more info on the C 35-2 'Callisto' that I viewed last week and decided to pass on. My wife had the same feeling, but hers was based mainly on the interior (which I didn't think was that bad), aside from the 70s molded headliner (complete with many holes from wiring mods and the dodger,

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

If this is what you want: "I just want a boat I can sail, and feel safe and confident in." For 25k, what I would be focusing on is a bare bones boat - forget about water makers, solar panels, and the rest of it. That's just like, my opinion, man. So take it for what it's worth. I would avoid

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

FYI. All those power take-offs incrementally reduce the usable HP of the engine, presumable sized with one take off, not four. I chose a 80 amp alternator upgrade in lieu of a 110 amp as I was told by Balmar that it might be more relative HP (10%) than you want to lose. Many of our

hi Shawn, I suspect if you sail that C 36, you will buy it. I have one like it, a 1979, and am delighted with its feel under sail and the way the boat works under power and at the dock or on the anchor for myself, girlfriend, and any friends or family we bring a long. To me it is the perfect

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Yes, I am trying to focus on the boat first, starting with a solid hull/deck/rig and a sound design. So far, I have yet to come across a boat with all of these factors - they are usually deficient in one or more areas, with sails being the most common. The last two boats I looked at were mainly

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

I wouldn’t compare the 26 to a MacGregor. It sounds like you need to get out sailing different boats more to help you decide what’s important, or not. From: CnC-List On Behalf Of Shawn Wright via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2019 11:13 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc:

Hi Bob and Fred, Thanks for the info, I never even thought about condensation in the locker. I have a 10 LB steel tank, I'm thinking this will be a problem, may have to switch to Aluminum. Thanks for the info on the solenoid, I'm going to look for one. Great tip. Cheers, Tom

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

I agree.  We had/have three 26s on Carlyle and they're very good boats.  The MacGregors are really poorly done and extremely lightly built boats.  I had the 21 as my first boat and comparing it to my next boat, a San Juan 24, was comparing apples and oranges.It's like comparing driving a WW II
