Re: Stus-List C 37+ Backstay Inspection/Improvements

I saw Michael's boat, Blue Pearl. A 1990 37+. We detected the failure of the backstay and were extremely cautious. The sale fell through for a myriad of other deficiencies. When we inspected the boat we ended up buying (Sea Hawk a 1989 37+ with the tall rig and wing keel) we inspected the

Use electrical conduit to support the cover. Connect the framework with "Kover Klamps". Google; Kover Klamps where you will find pictures that will show more than I can tell you. Having used them I will suggest using a power screw driver, it will make the job faster and less wear and tear on

I am late to this discussion and have not read everything, but wanted to report my experience. I built a frame for my C 34 many years ago. It was built with frame maker clamps and conduit and was strong and worked well. I sold it with the boat mostly as I got tired of the poly tarp tying

Pete, The cover came with the boat, but I did buy a couple of the T fittings locally - I think it was from Genco Marine in Toronto. (Rangeview Dr., Mississauga ON) The T fitting is used to attach to the spine. Not sure if they have the other fittings or not. I would think commercial tent

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Navtec 10 Series 7

Yeah, it's stories like that that made me seriously consider getting a manual adjuster instead. Unfortunately not many are made anymore as far as I can tell. Wichard makes manual adjusters, but they're just as expensive as a new hydraulic (and I couldn't figure out if they're easily available).

I had one like that on my old 24. The frame supports would twist causing the canvas to collapse. I am not sure if this twitting was caused by snow or wind, but the effect was the same. I learned to provide longitudal support by tying the supports at about half height. Eventually, I run two

Re: Stus-List Navtec 10 Series 7

I'm replacing my adjuster currently. Sailtec 10-SI to Sailtec 10-Long. The old one leaked a good deal of oil last spring and still works but loses pressure over time (holds pretty well in our currently cold weather, but not in warmer weather). Just about any rigger can rebuild a Navtec adjuster.
