Re: Stus-List C "smile" plus small separation

Welcome to the list Ryan. I’m sure that you’re worried about what may be going on with your keel bolts with the crack and water ingress. I know that I was and I have to state, I let my “smile” go for 15 years even after it was apparent when I bought the boat. I turned a willful blind eye to

Re: Stus-List C "smile" plus small separation

Ryan, I’d be surprised if there was a problem with freezing. I know on my boat that basically the water just drained out a few days after the haul. Others may chip in here with better ideas which is the beauty of this list. Were it me, and take that with a grain of salt given my track record

Stus-List Bigle pump line routing...

Happy New Year listers! The recent thread on bilge pump switches and the back flow problems attendant is of interest to me in another manner. I’m just finishing up painting the bilge and will be planning a two bilge pump installation to replace the original small single pump. The original 37’

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

Interesting thread. Put me in the move lines forward camp. I’m generating schematics of new line and hardware layouts right now. And one thing that I have been mulling over for quite some time is moving most, but not all, of the halyards back to the mast. Or mast area as it may be. And one the

Re: Stus-List Lines led forward

These observations bring me back to the realities of halyard/reef management with lines led aft versus forward. “Forward” on larger boats generally means winches mounted on the mast in-line with the halyards with appropriate line-stoppers. With this configuration, and suitable bracing, reefing

Re: Stus-List Folding props

A bit late to this thread but again, but another chuckle when recognizing a very similar experience. As Martin said about those years in the late 70’s, my friend Charlie and I were asked to help out new owners of a 3/4 ton IOR boat of which I can’t remember the name, designer or builder. It

Re: Stus-List C 44 Custon

At least double the purchase price, discounting your “labor”. Unfortunately, when I went out to see if that boat was listed in Yachtworld.com I ran across this. If I weren’t hip-deep in a complete restoration, I would be

Re: Stus-List Refinish/repaint breaker panels?

Joel, I had the same problem with mine and years ago I pulled everything out (which is also when I realized that a complete re-wire was in order) and sanded, painted and added new labels. I will say this, it wasn’t really worth the effort. Ergo why I ended up buying new Blue Sea panels. Cost

Re: Stus-List Refinish/repaint breaker panels?

Joel, I see that Fred has beat me to the punch. I was looking at the ad and realized the same thing; there is a lot missing. Although not necessarily cheap the Blue Sea system panels are really, really fine items. Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue

Re: Stus-List Installing linear autohelm on LF38

Also, too: I realized that the pictures do not show it but the important point is that the drive arm is attached to a bronze tiller arm from Edson. As I seem to recall, the arm is secured by a 1/4” S.S. key slotted into the

Re: Stus-List Installing linear autohelm on LF38

Mike, I did mine which is the same as your boat but not a LF38, this way . Best Dave Godwin 1982 C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit > On May 31,

Re: Stus-List C shirts

I have one of those in my closet somewhere. Got it working the Annapolis Sailboat Show years back. And I noticed that it is being sold at the Farmers Market that is a half block away from my condo. Hey, wait a minute… Cheers, Dave Godwin 1982 C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s

Re: Stus-List Replacing forward hatch on 29-1

Ian, I haven’t mounted it yet because the decks have to be painted first but I’m replacing my forward Atkins & Hoyle hatch with an Ocean 60. I’ve done a quick dry fit it and it will be an easy job. I’m partial to the Ocean series both from a “looks” point of view and overall ruggedness. FWIW,
