Stus-List Insurance Provider?

I‘m in process of purchasing a 1980 C 34 but I’m being held up by insurance provider. My broker (specializing in marine insurance) has sent the clean survey and all details to the insurance provider. Was supposed to be 2 days for approval… it’s now stretching into 4 days and we can’t get a

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

Function of electric power aside, unless one is exclusively connected to shore power, you need a big array of solar panels. To my eye, they ruin the beauty that a C design presents. With regards to electric power with a sail drive, I would not want a hunk of aluminum stuck in salt water, a hunk

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

Electric power is HUGELY dependent on what you expect to do with your boat. I just got back from taking my boat to the yard. That was 4 hours at 6.5 knots. If I had enough batteries to do that with electricity I could forgo the keel. It wouldn't be unusual for us to cover 60-80 miles under

Chandler, Glad that my ramblings were useful. Honestly, I do think that electric systems are the way of the future and with an engineering background it should be entirely doable for you. I am a mechanical engineer and work wind wind energy so I have a pretty good grasp of the fundamentals

Hi Nathan, Thank you for sharing your thoughts, very insightful and helpful. The more I research, the more I realize that it’s going to be a stretch to implement a well-designed electric solution on a boat that I am just becoming familiar with. And, as you point out, there aren’t many

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

I can't speak to electric for a larger vessel, but we switched from an 8hp Honda outboard to an e-propulsion Navy 3 on our 25 mkII at the start of the season. It has been great so far, and is practically silent. That did take a little getting used to. Range anxiety is less than the fuel and carb

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

Thank you Edd. You (among others) have convinced me to scrap the idea of a rebuild. I was focused on getting a boat which had a engine that I don’t have to worry about. The Beta seems like a great solution for roughly the same cost of the rebuild. There are a lot of fans of the Beta out

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

My two cents. I like my diesel, but if a repower becomes necessary, I'd love to go all the way and replace the shaft and cutless bearing and strut with an electric saildrive. A saildrive has a lot less drag. But the cost is just too high right now to justify and range is still an issue

Re: Stus-List Having never purchased a boat ...

Don't get emotionally attached to a boat that you like. There's always another one available. Decide on what you want to use it for: racing; cruising; family time on the water. Then decide what size fits your needs. Look at various boats on Yachtworld.com to get an idea what's available, and

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

I would personally go insane owning an electric sailboat. I love the rumble and slight vibration of a diesel engine. It reassures me and makes me feel all warm and cozy. Having a motor with a limited range that could die at any time due to lack of battery power and need to be at a dock to

Re: Stus-List Having never purchased a boat ...

You can select your own broker as a buyers agent and submit your offer thru your agent. When a buying agent is used the commission is split between the buyer agent and the seller agent. Having a broker act as your buyer agent protects your interest while the seller agent protects the sellers

Re: Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

I was thinking it was insanity to repower with electric until Rob Ball posted...obviously much respect for him.Still, I think if you have diesel smell, overheating, excessive vibration, etc., it is a maintenance issue. I have none of that.Of course any combustion engine will have some

Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?

David: The two SS straps are your 'mast tangs'.they are very importantthey keep your deck from lifting from the upward pull of halyards connected to your mast collar.   They should be bolted to your mast just as you step your mast before the rigging is tensioned.  If you attempt if

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?

David, When the boat is sailing and heels over the shrouds and mast combination try really hard to squeeze the two sides of the boat together and the deck to lift up (off). It is VERY important to hold the deck down, and those straps are to be bolted so the deck is held down. If the holes

Stus-List Repowering a C 36 to Electric?

Chandler, Sounds like more like their diesel than hate it . . . . Last year our 34 had, it turned out, no compression in one cylinder and the repair required the engine come out (not enough space under the cockpit), which meant the boat had to come out . . so several thousand dollars just to

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?

Yes, absolutely, they should have a bolt passing through them and through the mast. One long bolt is fine, washers and a self locking nut work well, the bolt doesn't have to be tight, just not loose. If you find the strap holes are a bit too high to get the bolt through them and the mast try

Hi Wonder if I have the mast set-up correctly. There are two staniless steel straps hanging down port & starboard of the mast. They are bolted to the thru-deck fitting, are about 10 inches long and a bolt hole in the bottom end almost aligns with holes in the mast. Purpose and should the

Re: Stus-List Painting Flexofold props?

Andy, I think you may be confusing propspeed with the Pettit 1792. As I understand it Propspeed results in an ultra slippery surface which simply prevents biofouling from having anything to attach to. A small kit can run $300. The Pettit product is according to the label ~55% zinc while

Propspeed is mostly zinc. The thinking around here is that plain zinc paint will do the job as well for a fraction of the price. I just painted my MaxProp with cold galvanizing paint again. It seems to work as well as anything else I've tried. Andy Andrew Burton 26 Beacon Hill Newport, RI USA
