Steve,
try other marine stores. In Ottawa, The Chandlery, sells Capt. Phab 4l for
$21.50 (or $20 US)
(http://www.thechandleryonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=3331). I think
they would ship it, unless there is some funny restriction. They ship to the
US, as well.

I have a 140 Tape Drive Genoa on my 1990 30+ back in the 90s. Replaced a
Dacron North 130 that came with the boat. Weighed about half the 130 so
less weight aloft. Had virtually no stretch as the wind pick up so we
carried here in winds up to 25 true unfurled. A great sail. Still on the
The local marina here sells boat stove alcohol in the same price range. I don't
recall the brand, but will check if anyone is interested.

Here is an article on ethanol versus methanol as a fuel. This article
concludes that ethanol is the more efficient fuel.
http://vincent02pd2011.wikispaces.com/Methanol+Vs+Ethanol+Fuel+Lab
and this article says that ethanol produces a higher flame temperature.
My experience is that 95.6% is the most what you can obtain commercially (or
from any kind of distillation). You can get further only with molecular sieves
or by removing the remaining water using benzene or some other substances.
The best (for drinking, if you are so inclined) is this one:
How is methyl hydrate different?

Different chemical.
Short chemistry lesson:
Methyl hydrate is an old name for methanol, which is a chemical compound
(molecule) consisting of one carbon, one oxygen, and four hydrogen atoms.
Ethanol, the alcohol we love to drink, has two carbon, one oxygen, and 6
hydrogen atoms in each

First off it is rarely clammy in winter, just cold and wet. In summer we do
get a few days of hot and clammy (like yesterday) but mostly the late spring
through mid-fall has comfortable PNW cruising weather.

The Universal M4-30 in my boat tends to stall frequently when shifting. This
primarily happens when moving forward and shifting into reverse, which is of
course not good for stress levels when one has to pull into a slip and you
can’t count on slowing down. Maybe I could increase the RPM

I had the same problem and did two things.
1. I made sure the fuel system was well bled A small amount of air
trapped in the high pressure lines can create a lot of trouble with idle

2. The second thing I did was add Howe's diesel fuel treatment to the fuel

I've been an 8-9 year consumer of Stu's List wisdom - mostly contributing
questions and an occasional opinion. I'm curious what people think of the
Shannon 38, referenced below, as a retirement boat for bumping up and down
the US East Coast. I realize it's not a CC but the opinions of many on the
OK - stop the sketch, it's getting silly!

I'm not in touch with how many centerboard boats there are in the PNW or how it
would affect resale value. Hopefully Lee Youngblood (s/v Simplicity, 1974 CC
35-II, cnc-lister) will add his perspective
Bob, I looked at lots of different boats before buying my current boat; I would
urge you to compare the Shannon to a 1981-1985 vintage CC 37, the specs are
very similar; the blue water capability is there (see, Steve Sharkey's
