Yep, that's got to be it, thanks Jim. My boat spent the first 40 years of its life in Traverse City. It must have needed a new mainsail in 1982. Cheers, Randy - Original Message - From: "Jim Reinardy via CnC-List" To: "cnc-list" Cc:

Re: Stus-List Bridge Yacht Experience

Wow! I'm dismayed to hear you had such a terrible experience. I just reached a verbal agreement with them on a C & C  pending a survey and I am awaiting the contract. So far so good, but this is concerning. Graham Young Cleveland, O. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at

Stus-List Bridge Yacht Experience

Bridge Yachts of Port Dover, ON is a terrible boat brokerage firm. I would never recommend them to anyone, and they should not be in the boat brokerage business after what I just went through. In fact, they should not be in any business. I purchased a C 33 mark 2 from them earlier this year

Hi Rob, Enjoyed your dissertation on sails. Correct me if I am wrong, but in our joint venture with North Sails on the MEGA , didn't we provide North Sails with the boat ?  Or at least offered them ?   Between you as the design project manager and me as the sales/marketing project manager, and

Re: Stus-List Early C Sails (was Re: 1973 custom C 43' - hull/deck joint (toe rail replacement?)

Randy, I am pretty sure that your "Irish" sail was made by Irish Boat Shop on Little Traverse Bay in Michigan. They are still around, but no longer make sails. I have a spinnaker that was made by them as well, it's actually signed by David Irish on one of the clews. Mine has a cloverleaf

Re: Stus-List C Night Train

My C 44, hull number 18 built in 1985 was another Blair Vedder "Night Train". It might be the next "Night Train" after the C 43. The build file has lots of correspondence between Blair and C about a variety of topics. The most discussion was about Blair's insistence about the dark blue gel coat

Re: Stus-List Early C Sails (was Re: 1973 custom C 43' - hull/deck joint (toe rail replacement?)

Hi Randy, C did not supply sails as part of the purchase of a new boat. That practice started much later and was certainly the case when I was with Hunter. Sailmakers competed to supply sails to the individual C owners, sometimes through the dealers. While with C I had the pleasure of sailing

Re: Stus-List Early C Sails - now staysails

Back in the day, 1970’s, we would have two staysails on board. A Tall Boy and a Low Boy (I think this is the sail originally asked about). The Tall Boy we would use on a reach with either the spinnaker or genoa and we would hoist it on a dedicated halyard. spare genoa halyard or an unused

Re: Stus-List Early C Sails - now staysails

My opinion is not very qualified - I haven't yet figured out how to use my staysails very effectively. Next year I'll try to follow this article's prescriptions for staysails more closely: http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/racelist/racelist.htm . Grenadine came with two staysails: one

Re: Stus-List Early C Sails - now staysails

Depends. Lots of scenarios for this depending on your masthead configuration. If you hoist on the windward spinnaker halyard and tack the staysail on the windward toe rail (legal in my area for most races) AND the wind is light then it may not chafe on the forestay. Or if you tack to center

Re: Stus-List Early C Sails - now staysails

Thank you for those interesting details Rob. I've always wondered about the makers of the sails that came in my boat's inventory (C 30 MK I hull #7, built September 1972). Thanks to your comment I now know about Hood Sails and Ed Botterell. I've got a #1 genoa (~165%) and a storm jib from Hood

Violeta, One of the photos from Martin's link is quite historic (they are all historic, of course, but one more than the others). See attached. It shows Blair Vedder (owner), Erich Bruckmann (builder), Mark Ellis (C custom sales), and Ed Botterell (Hood sialimaker). I wish I had a higher

Larry, I had a previous generation Ray wheel pilot on my 35-3. It worked well for the uses you described. Over about 12 knots of wind it would start to struggle unless the rig was really balanced. Joel On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 9:39 PM, bushmark4--- via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:

I hit something that bent the prop and the shaft. My insurance covered what was about a $2,000 job. The yard checked the strut and as far as I know it was OK. I don't know if you have insurance or want to claim this, but it can add up in a hurry if the yard is doing it. The PSS carbon shaft

Tom, About 5 years ago I had to reposition my strut because the engine and prop shaft were not aligned. Turns out that they were never in alignment. I had to reposition the engine by making new engine mount brackets. But that is another story. I removed the strut and did all of the prep work.
