Stus-List Re: Non- Gooey VHF handheld

I think it is but that's just my opinion.  Naphtha seems to cut wax way better and evaporates completely.  I use it to clean up bees wax after rendering, removing adhesive labels from jars, and removing electrical tape residue.  When I rebedded a deck fitting the naphtha cut the butyl nicely.

Did you handle Deet / mosquito repellent with radio. It will soften some plastics. Try cleaning it with acetone before you pitch it. Get Outlook for Android From: Bill Coleman via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2022 12:01:46 PM To:

I have a 5:1 which I picked up from a parts 35 a few years ago, and it's a great improvement. If the cam cleat is hard to release, it usually means I should have reefed 5 knots ago... I use a snap shackle to the traveller car for quickly swinging the boom to the rail when at anchor. Currently

Different boat, but my C270 had very similar arrangement (4:1, one end on the traveller, the other going to the mast and back to the winch). I changed it to 3:1/6:1 double line arrangement. It requires a special double cam block on the traveller. Garhauer has one like that available. I think

I've had all manner of rubberized electronics do this.  I have had pretty good luck using Naphtha thinner to clean up the goo.  It leaves a raw plastic finish with no residue.  Might take some elbow grease but saving a $100 or $200 dollar radio seems worth it. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C

Joe; Not sure that my experience with my 38 is comparable to your 35, but suspect there isn’t a huge difference in sail area or loading. I have a 3:1 mainsheet arrangement on a bridge deck traveler. All the hardware and the traveler are Garhauer. The mainsheet is arranged so the upper

Thanks, Dennis, that's great. If we do end up keeping her another year, I may just get around to adding a forward track. But we're currently looking to buy a boat for cruising in Mexico, and don't think we'll be able to keep two boats. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C

Joe, I believe the Mk1's Mainsheet traveler is just in front of the helm whereas mine (Mk2) is at the bridge deck (seat) aft of the companionway.  I have changed over to a multi line 4:1 course line and a 4:1 fine trim line which gives me a 16:1 advantage on the fine tune. The 16:1 is a big

Joe, I have the system you're describing.  Just a plain 6:1 through a cam cleat on a Harken traveler car with continuous control line.  It's great, I can sail from the windward rail just like a dingy, wheel in one hand and sheet or traveler in the other. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen

Has anyone changed their 35 to a multi-part tackle and cam cleat that you operate from the traveler back at the helm instead of the stock system that runs a line up to the mast and back to a cabin top winch? Would 4:1 be enough or would 6:1 be better? My preventer is a pretty big 4 part and cam

Stus-List Re: C 35 Mainsheet

Hey Joe, 4:1 mainsheet is fine for the light winds of Chesapeake Bay until the wind fills in and then 6:1 would be much better. 4:1 with a fine tune added would be the best solution. The C 99 has a 4:1 / 8:1 mainsheet that works well. My 34R has 5:1 with a 20:1 double ended fine tune. This

I have 5:1 on my Mega, with a comparable sized main. I race on a 35 and it has 6:1 - a triple on the boom and a double w becket on top of a ratchet and cleat on the traveller. We blew a sheave one day and dropped to 5:1. Not nearly so manageable. Jon Tebbens 78 Mega Katherine On Fri, 15 Jul 2022,
