Re: Stus-List Offshore boat - lost in translation/ now buy the freaking boat!

Shawn, Yes the CS36 T is a very good boat, built like a tank and a very descent performer in its deep draft version. The 27 is a good 27 but not as fast as a C and the CS30 is a nice option compared to a C 29 mkII, but not in the league of the CS36 in my opinion. But the 36 T hold their value

Re: Stus-List Bali Cat Sailing Characteristics (was Offshore boat - lost in translation)

Randy, I don't know the Bali line that well, but to me most of them look like power cat with a tiny mast. I have not looked at the SA/D ratio but it must be really low. Definitely not an Outremer! If you go back, have a look at

Stus-List Cleaning epoxy off cabin liner

Hi, The 35-2 we're still waffling on (!) has many holes in the ceiling liner, and some have been filled with what appears to be epoxy, leaving a yellowish residue around the hole. Is there any safe was to clean epoxy residue off gelcoat without damaging it? One of the things that gives me concern

Re: Stus-List C as offshore boat?

Another day of 20-30kn winds in the harbour, so no sailing, although I did spend a few hours on the boat listening to some creaking. The bulkheads either side of the head being somewhat loose where they meet the cabin top liner worries me a bit. On Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 9:10 AM Jim Watts via

Re: Stus-List Offshore boat - lost in translation

Interesting you mention the CS36... the T version designed by Ray Wall is very high on my list of boats that seem to tick all the right boxes, and one that I might stretch our budget for. There is a cluster of CS boats are a local marina - three 36Ts and two 30s, but none for sale. I've only been

Re: Stus-List Metal Rod Forward of Keel

Sorry about the mistake.  I meant rudder.  The explanation that it is intended to prevent lines from tangling in the rudder slot makes some sense.  However, would seem to pale in relation to the danger that a line in that area would have a high likelyhood of tangling in the prop. Interesting

Re: Stus-List C as offshore boat?

I agree with Dave. Just get a boat and learn from it. It’s an iterative process. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a boat you’ll love and want to keep forever - like a C 30 MK I :) - and / or you’ll learn from the experience of owning the boat you get, and apply the learning to the next boat you

Re: Stus-List C as offshore boat?

First, I think your idea of getting a boat that you can use right now is a good idea. By the time you are ready for bluewater, you will have a much better idea of what boat you want for that purpose. The 35-3 does tend to pound in waves going upwind, it's just a function of that flat bottom in

I installed my shunt between the negative battery terminal and a new negative bus bar under the quarter berth where the batteries are. For it to properly measure all the current loads, all circuits must go thru the shunt. By attaching all negative circuits to the negative bus bar that is

Re: Stus-List Rudder Squeeking C 35-3

Actually,  I did just that.  I carefully drilled through the fiberglass rudder post and tapped the hole and installed the zerk.  Easy peasy.   Just don't over tighten the zerk and strip the threads.Bruce Whitmore 1994 C 37/40+Sent from Samsung tablet. Original message From:

Re: Stus-List C as offshore boat?

Enjoy the sail FWIW I only really understood what I wanted and needed from a sailboat after experiencing what I didn’t, and for me at least this took time. I still don’t have it quite right. (Lol). I wouldn’t dwell too much on getting the right boat today for some future aspiration. IMO, Get
