Stus-List Any CC Lister in Maine?

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

I have a 1982 CC 34, on a mooring in Bass Harbor, Maine (on Mount Desert 
Island).  My wife and I are planning on moving up in boat size in the next year 
or two, and looking for a boat we can comfortably cruise for a couple of weeks 
along coastal Maine (with or without our two teenagers). The 34 works well, is 
a pleasure to sail, but gets cramped with four adults/near-adults after a week. 
 The objective is cruising, not racing. I got the racing out of my system on 
J/24s and a J/80. I've bought enough sandwiches, t-shirts and beer bracelets 
for crew. I've been looking online at the Landfall 38, but have never been on 
one. Does anyone know of a Landfall 38 based Down-East, that I could get to 
check out over the summer? We have been considering bigger too (of course!). So 
any larger CCs would be of interest (e.g., Landfall 42). And of course, I 
welcome the learned perspectives of the lister community. Damian Greene1982 CC

Stus-List Cordless heat gun for heat-shrink tubing

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cordless heat-gun to shrink the tubing  
/ melt glue on 12V electrical crimp connections?  I want cordless as my boat is 
normally on a mooring. I've come across a couple on the internet, but it's hard 
to judge if they are any good. By the way - big thank you to whoever posted 
that link to www.marinehowto.com - fascinating reading, and I learned so much! 
I also now know who to go to if I am doing any major electrical work on my boat 
(he lives in Maine). Damian GreeneCC 34 GHOSTBass Harbor, Maine

Re: Stus-List Pegathy's New England Voyage

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Dan, I used to be based in Westbrook CT, so here are my recommendations for 
Eastern Long Island Sound. This is based on several summer cruises on our CC 
34 with wife and two younger teenagers. Westbrook - slip at Brewer's. Huge 
full-service yard. Pool, showers, restaurant (expensive). Gas BBQ grills and 
picnic tables at the head of each dock. There is a picnic area at the channel 
entrance with gas grills, picnic tables, and a clubhouse with kitchen 
facilities and a TV room. Great spot to hang out in the evening and watch the 
boat traffic. That was our regular hangout. Mystic - slip at Brewer's. On the 
right, just before the railroad bridge. Easy dinghy ride to the town dock. 
Decent swimming pool. Be careful to stay in the channel, and do NOT try to cut 
left of the rockpile at the entrance to Noank (you'll see what I mean - there's 
a confusing dogleg). Get ice-cream at the store by the lifting bridge. Of 
course the Seaport Museum. In general, any Brewer's yard along LIS is a good 
stopover. Shelter Island - good moorings at Piccozzi's Dering Harbor Marina. 
Decent showers. Nice small town with decent bars and restaurants. Explore the 
island by bike - rentals at Piccozzi's garage. Fun trip in through Plum Gut. 
Newport - we would stay at Dutch Harbor. Moorings for rent, launch service, 
showers and laundry. Walk to foodstore and restaurants. Harbor shuttle across 
to Newport. More peaceful than craziness of Newport. Martha's Vineyard - we 
were disappointed with available moorings. The best we found were in Vineyard 
Haven. Services not great, and serious wakes from car-ferries. Still, the 
Vineyard is a must-see. Rent a Jeep. Go to the Jaws locations. Block Island - 
Great Salt Pond. Rather than scramble for town moorings, we would book a slip 
at Champlin's Marina. In reality, you're likely rafted, and it gets very 
congested with powerboats at weekends. Still, it is a fun experience. Decent 
pool, bars, takeout pizza, cinema (for kids), all without leaving the marina. 
And then of course there's Block to explore! Rent bikes. Great beaches. 
Cuttyhunk is our favorite destination. If you get there on time, there are town 
moorings in the inner harbor. Otherwise, plenty of moorings available outside, 
but with more wave action. Beautiful island. No cars, one small restaurant, 
boat goes around each evening selling fresh shellfish and lobsters. Great 
beaches (at harbor entrance, and over the bar at the far side). Channel can be 
tricky, so be careful. Last time we were there, we watched another sailboat 
solidly aground on a falling tide. No fun. Cape Cod Canal is a beautiful ride. 
Make sure to time your transits with the tides. Some serious wave action on the 
southern entrance - you'll be surfing in, then it gets flat. Sandwich Marina is 
a decent stop at the northern exit from the CCC. showers, food-store nearby, 
decent restaurants. Feel free to discuss more offline. damian.gre...@yahoo.com

Re: Stus-List Outboard size

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Mike,
I will echo the feedback below from Martin.
We had a Honda 2HP, bought expressly because it was light enough to easily lift 
on and off. However, it just was not powerful enough if we found ourselves in 
rough water / strong wind / current / exposed mooring.
I switched to a Tohatsu 6HP, and have been much happier with its ability to 
deal safely with difficult conditions.
I purchased a FORESPAR Motor Mate "outboard motor crane", that mounts on the 
pushpit. That makes it an easy process to lift the motor off the dinghy, and 
swing it around to fasten on the rail while underway. Much easier and safer 
than lifting the motor by hand - and better for my marriage.

Damian Greene

 Mike,    
We used a +- 2 hp on an 10” high pressure floor inflatable around the PNW for

two or three people onboard it was a bit slow for me.  Once, the 2hp outboard 
was not able to pull a long stern tie line ashore without some rowing 
assistance.  Up wind or up current was sometimes very slow.    Now we have a 6 
hp 4 stroke. It is much heavier with the associated on/off issues especially 
when anchored.  It was able to obtain good speeds but not plane with 4 adults

Stus-List Replacement Holding Tank - 1982 CC 34

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

It looks like I'll need to replace the holding tank on my 1982 CC 34 - weeping 
crack in the sidewall at the discharge penetration (creating smelly mess in the 
bilge). I could try to get it plastic-welded, but likely the best route for a 
winter project will be to replace the tank, and the hoses  3-way valve while 
I'm at it. Replacement tanks were discussed some months back, but I'm not 
finding it in the archive. So... Where do I get the tank dimensions (and I will 
confirm when I remove the current tank). Where do I go to purchase a 
replacement tank? I remember a couple of companies were recommended.Ideally 
someone who would have the tank as an off-the shelf item? Thanks, Damian

Re: Stus-List Asymmetric chute

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Let me add a little detail to Andy's directions below on how to drop an 
asymmetrical spinnaker (based on when I owned a J-80). This keeps the sail 
under control:
1) Head downwind to blanket the spinnaker with the main2) Open the hatch3) A 
single crew member goes just forward of the open hatch, and sits on the 
coach-roof facing the rail.4) Sheet in the spinnaker, so the foot is close to 
the rail and can be grabbed by the crew5) Ease the tack quickly and steadily, 
so the crew can gather the foot in concertina loops6) Ease the sheet so the 
crew now has the full foot in their arms7) Ease the halyard quickly and 
steadily so the crew can stuff the gathered spinnaker behind them and down the 
hatch (the person who eased the tack and sheet can help with stuffing the sail 
down the hatch).

Hoist it to the masthead and use a longish tack line. Try to keep the luff 
fairly tight so the sail doesn't drift off to leeward and become an air brake 
when you're reaching. 

To drop the sail, the easiest way is to turn downwind and then ease the tack 
line and sheet it in tight behind the main. The main will blanket it so there 
is no wind/pressure in the sail and you can ease the halyard and douse it even 
in windy conditions with no trouble.

 An even better solution is to get a spinnaker sock and follow the directions 
for using that. The sock makes getting the spinnaker up and down on Peregrine a 
snap to do by myself.

Re: Stus-List Boarding Ladder

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

A question to consider is what you want the step for - getting out of the 
water, or for a dinghy.
On our C 34, we use an Esdon boarding step that we clip to the toe-rail at 
the side of the boat, for use with our inflatable dinghy or Whaler. Being the 
side means we can tie up the smaller boat securely alongside - which makes a 
big difference if we are dealing with boarding in swells.
I would not like to try this maneuver via the stern of the boat.
Of course, with the water temperature in Maine, swimming is not an attractive 
option.

I just looked at sailboat data.   I see what you mean about the rudder. 
You could certainly mount it to the side.  The key to using a boarding ladder 
to get in the boat from the water,  say,  if swimming, you want at least one 
rung below the water line.  Two would make it much easier.   With your transom, 
 it looks like you might need to mount the 3' ladder pretty low to get a rung 
in the water.  Then, the transom slopes out.   I think that may be awkward to 
board.
Maybe a longer ladder? 
I'm sure some of the group will chime in with advice.   Maybe someone already 
tackled a similar project.

Boarding Ladder 
Hi, 

I am relatively new to sailing and the boat life, and this is my first post 
here. I have a C 30' 1976 and love the boat. I have been working on different 
projects, and now I'd to install a boarding ladder on my boat. I looked around 
the marina and noticed a lot of people have their ladders right in the middle 
of the transom. I am a little hesitant since the rudder seems to be somewhat 
large and the last ladder rung might touch it or make it difficult for someone 
to get on the ladder. I was wondering what you think about this, and if you 
have ideas on where I should install the ladder. 
the ladder is 3 feet long and 1 foot wide and has a hinge to drop it in water. 

Thank you,AliC 30 1976Seattle

The screens have Sunbrella borders with the snaps.  The studs are screwed into 
the headliner around the forward hatch or, in the case of the companionway, the 
wood trim and the edge of the sliding hatch.  They fit tight and keep out the 
skeeters.

Nice thing about them is they fold up small and stow easily.  I could almost 
put both the forward hatch screen and the companionway screen in a 1 gallon zip 
bag.

Re: Stus-List Safety equipment rental?

Rick,
I rented an EPIRB from BoatUS a couple of years ago. It was easy. The EPIRB

Re: Stus-List Drilling a Hole in the Hull

Maybe stating the obvious, but I would try drilling a test hole in a piece of

Using tape and starting in reverse to drill a neat hole through gel coat is 
good advice.
Depending on where you drill, you might get balsa core, especially above the 
waterline  (not sure if the 35 has a cored hull)
I don't think silicone has any place on a boat. I'd use Sikaflex. (I'm not keen 
on butyl either‎ - my deck to hull joint is butyl and it drips everywhere!)

3M 4200 will work, but if the fitting is plastic, chances are you will be 
replacing it again someday. 4200 is not as difficult as 5200, but neither is 
easy to remove. Above the waterline through hulls are the only place that I use 
silicone. Polysulfide (Life Caulk) would probably work, but there is a caution 
about its use with plastics, and I don't know why. All of the plastic tank vent 
through hulls, the shower through hull, and the electric bilge through hulls 
needed replacement on my C Southern sunshine!

Hi listers,

Thanks, everyone, for your advice on the solar charging system and ACR.
Onto the next project!

I'm going to be drilling a hole in the hull to install a
well-above-the-waterline thruhull for a bilge pump discharge hose. The
thruhull is 1 1/8" inch, so I'm going to use a 1 1/4" hole saw drill bit.
I'm going to seal it with 3m 4200. Does this plan make sense? Are there any
surprises to expect?

Re: Stus-List Input on inflatable dinghy purchase

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Bob,
Other listers seem generally happy with a roll-up and a 2HP, but let me give 
you contrarian advice.
When I bought my C 34 about 7 years ago to sail on those same waters 
(LIS/Vineyard/Block/Buzzards - based in Westport CT), I bought a Zodiac roll-up 
and a 2HP Honda. Crew was me, my wife, and 2 kids then 10 &11. I found the 
dinghy/outboard combination was too small and underpowered to take everyone, 
especially in chop and if we happened to be in an exposed anchorage/mooring.  
The flat bottom roll-up did not track well. So I would end up ferrying people 
in a couple of runs.
After one season, I switched to a Defender RIB and a Tohatsu 6HP (bought these 
at the Defender annual sale). Sold the roll-up and 2HP Honda. This was a major 
improvement. Now no problems with wind/chop conditions, due to the rigid keel 
and the stronger engine.
Two trade-offs:1) The RIB is heavier to tow (BTW - accept that in reality you 
will end up towing the roll-up, rather than assembling/disassembling it every 
day on a cruise).2) Heavier engine - I installed a crane on the rear rail. That 
makes the job easy. Actually better than trying to man-handle the 2HP.
We're now based in Maine, with 2 teenagers, and I know for sure that the 
smaller dinghy/outboard would not work for us.
Anyway, that's my experience.
Regards,
Damian

Relocating our C 110 from a Midwest lake where I had no need for a tender to

Nantucket Sounds, etc, I'm in need of a basic inflatable to serve as a tender 
in harbors without a launch service.  I've used them many times on charters but 
never really paid much attention to detail.  
I'm looking for something relatively compact for 2-4 people that is easy to set 
up and collapse and stow, so I think that's best a roll-up.  Early in my 
thinking, I'm eyeing something like the 8'6" Achillies LSI-260: 4 person 
capacity/820lbs, Hypalon, overall weight 64 lbs, inflatable floor, with perhaps 
a ~4-5HP outboard. (Or maybe the 9'6" or 10'2" LSI versions of the same 
design..) I don't think I need a boat to plane, just basic transportation.  No 
davits, it will either be towed or stowed.
I welcome input from those of you with inflatable experience to share your 
thoughts on brands, material, features, design, size, etc.  What factors should 
I be considering as I make my selection?

Stus-List Question on best fuel filter setup

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

I have some questions for your collective wisdom: what is the best fuel filter setup?First of all, I have to admit I just bought a Sabre 38 (1986). We are en route home from Essex CT to Bass Harbor ME. We were going through fairly rough seas yesterday entering Buzzards Bay and the engine died - backed off on revs over a minute or so, then stopped. Restart would not go to high revs,  and died. I figured it was the fuel filter, but we took a TowBoat US tow into New Bedford rather than mess around. I changed the filter and all seems fine.The filter is a Racor 2010. Engine is a Westerbeke 33. Diesel tank was half full.It turns out the PO had installed a 2 micron primary (there is no secondary). It looked fine - so no major crud. I have a 10 micron installed now, as I had a couple of these as spares. The local yard recommend 30  micron.I could not figure out how to bleed the air, so I filled the housing to the top with diesel, and poured more in the top before inserting and tightening the top screw. I would not fancy doing that in rough seas.So questions:1) What micron rating filter?2) Are there better new designs? I see Racor have spin-off models. Are these easier to change and bleed on the fly?3) Should I have primary and secondary filters?4) How best to bleed the air?5) The Westerbeke W33 manual says it's self bleeding and essentially not to mess with the pump. What do you know of this?Thanks,Damian Damian Greene1982 C 34 Ghost (for sale)1986 Sabre 38 Serenity (new name TBD)Bass Harbor ME___

Stus-List Seeking thoughts on solar panel installation

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

I’m deliberately keeping this question broad, as I’m at an early stage of my 
planning:

As we keep our boat on a mooring, a constant concern is maintaining charge in 
the batteries. Already on my winter list is to install a Blue Seas ACR 
(automatic charging relay), to eliminate having to remember to switch 1/all/2.

In addition, I’m thinking of installing a solar panel system. At a minimum, I’d 
like a system that would bring the batteries from partially depleted to full 
charge over a couple of days, so I’d be fairly confident in having a full 
charge when I go out to the boat.

Next step up would be a system that would at least extend how long we can run 
the refrigerator on a cruise without having run the engine a couple of 
hours/day.

In terms of panel location, I’m thinking on top of the bimini, as it’s 1) out 
of the way, and 2) close to the batteries.

I would welcome any advice/experience on selection of brand, how many amps, and 
installation.

Thanks,

Damian

Re: Stus-List opinions about cabin table

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Lisle,

Here are a couple of considerations both ways (and both boat interiors look 
great)…

We recently switched from a C 34 (table similar to C 30), to a Sabre 38 
(table similar to Tartan 31). I much prefer that I can swing the table up on 
the bulkhead. That is now our standard configuration while underway, giving us 
all open space down below. Similar to the Tartan, we have the grab-rails under 
the windows, which really helps while moving around.

However that is with just two of us on the boat. Likely with the C you will 
leave the port leaf up most of the time (that’s what we did). With kids, you 
may be able to get away with everyone seated around the dinette in the C, and 
not have to put up the second leaf. That will make life easier at mealtimes, if 
people can still access the forward cabin (invariably just when everyone is 
seated). That is not an option with the Tartan, as you have to put up the leaf 
to get usable surface – probably every time. 

So in balance – C

Regards,

Damian

Thanks for all the helpful replies on cabin table options. I've pretty much 
narrowed my boat choices down to either a C 30MKii or a Tartan 31 at this 
point. The Tartan's interior appears more open with the folding table mounted 
on the bulkhead vs. the fixed table on the C I will mainly be day-sailing 
and hanging out on the dock with a few overnights so I'm thinking the more open 
cabin might work better with the kids. comparison pics link below.

Stus-List Question: Radar reflector vs. active radar

[Damian Greene via CnC-List]

Here's a question for your collective wisdom: 
We regularly have fog here in Maine, and my normal practice is to hoist a Davis 
emergency radar reflector in the shrouds (so I hopefully will not get run over 
by a lobster boat). So this year I decided to get the yard to mount an EchoMax 
reflector on the mast, and be better prepared.
However, reviewing my work-list with the yard maintenance manager yesterday, he 
asked why I was doing this, as I have radar, and the signal from my radome 
would light up on other boats' radar better than a reflector.
That's something I've never heard before, so I told him I would investigate and 
get back on that. Frankly, this does not make a lot of sense - why would people 
bother with radar reflectors - but he has more than 20 years' experience with 
Hinckley and others.
I'd like a definitive answer (Fred?) to resolve this.
