Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

Hi listers, First of- thanks for all of your suggestions for rebuilding my navtec backstay adjuster. It was serviced by a shop in Oyster Bay, NY and the local rigger (Jeff Lazar, whom I can't recommend enough) handled the removal and reinstall. So, onto the next project! I've been buying tools

Wow. How I re-bedded the keel (and lost my C smile). Very ambitious and well done. -Original Message- From: ahycrace ahycrace via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2019 3:17 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: ahycrace ahycrace Subject: Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel

Matt when I did my backing plates I used colloidal silica and used wax paper to allow the plates to be removed after everything set up. You must protect the threads from the silica as well. http://gkolc3.wixsite.com/liberty > On February 6, 2019 at 12:22 PM Thomas Delaney via CnC-List >

Tom, Speaking solely as someone who may be racing against you this season, suggest you swap out the stainless steel backing plates with plastic, caulk with cream cheese and torque to about 50%. All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Captain of the Starship Enterprise C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-1701-B

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

Instead of merely using 4200 to bed the backing plates, you may want to consider first bedding them in a microballoon mixture (like West System with colloidal silica). This will eliminate high spots and spread the load on the backing plates more evenly. From: Thomas Delaney via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

The ¾” bolts use a 1 1/8” socket, and the 1” bolts use a 1 ½” socket. I have never seen lock washers on these keels, and I wouldn’t suggest them. They are torqued so darn tight I can’t imagine them loosening. I would, however, use a little TefGel on the threads. Try putting a mark on the nut

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

To expand on Tom’s note below, I have a few additional questions for this crowd; With anticipation of doing some offshore races in our area this summer, I pulled my mast last fall to tighten up all the keel bolts. After only a couple years, they were surprisingly loose. Quick

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

Tom: Yes, there is a way to do that -- put a releasing agent on the backing plates before tightening down. They will come off much easier after the mixture cures. That said, if you squeeze the mixture out around the plates and let it cure, it's not likely to leak anyway. You could

Thank you Joe and Neil, I've written to you both off-list. Edd, I'd love to see you out there for some weekend racing! I'll work on your suggestions right after I finish talking to the sailmaker about incorporating a few "speed holes" into the new #1. All best, Tom -- Snow Goose 35-1 City

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

Hi Matthew, I love the idea of having a more structurally sound bedding material for the backing plates. This is probably a stupid question - would the microballoon mixture be a replacement for the 4200? Or is there a way to bed the plates with the microballoon mixture, get the them back up again

Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

I had my C 30 MK1 dismasted yesterday to do some work on it. The boat came with no wedges in the deck collar, so I made some one day, just to get through summer. While taking down the mast yesterday, I asked the rigger what kind of wedges it should have. He said he wasn't sure whether C came

Re: Stus-List Problems removing rudder from Custom C 43

Try putting 2 proper size nuts on the threaded rod. Back them up together until tight. Then with a wrench on the inside nut, see if you can get movement on the rod when you apply force to the wrench. The idea behind this is to use the outer nut as though it is the hex cap on a machine bolt. If you
