I have wondered what the limiting factor would be when carrying too much sail area, and had a chance to test it out over a 5 hour sail. Part of the reason is I do sail and race solo so knowing what to expect is an advantage, and also Lake Ontario does get variable weather and sometimes poor

Re: Stus-List Early 30-1 Interior Doors

I have a C 30  "77" model year. >From my HIN ZCC304531076 I would guess it is #453 laid up October 1976. I have the sliding door and after a few years of ownership the PO dropped off the folding door that the PPO had removed. At haulout, so no mast and most stuff removed the crane weighs me at

Re: Stus-List New bearing arrived. How to make it tighter

 The bearing should be snug in the cutlass. While it is hard to describe snug once it is in you should not be able to rotate it easily by hand. You can cut the bearing down with a hacksaw. It might be easier if you put a wooden dowel, plastic pipe or something in it that prevents damaging the

Re: Stus-List Boom fittings for reefing attachments

At a recent LOOR night Geoff Moore from North Sails spoke about sails and trim for the "offshore" races. His recommendation was to have the reefing line tied around the boom. Michael Brown Windburn C 30-1 Josh The 2007 C that we race and the 2008 C that I sail on both are just tied around

Re: Stus-List best folding prop for 30 MK1 w/ A4

I have the Gori 11.5 x 8 on Windburn, also with an Atomic 4. My guess is that it is slightly over pitched and that 11.5 x 7.5 or 11.5 x 7 might be the optimal size. I have not found it to be an issue since Windburn is kept light for racing and bereft of bimini and dodger. While motor sailing,

Re: Stus-List determining PHRF rating

Hi Paul,   are you looking for: 1 - a SP ( Speed Potential ) rating for a C 34 2 - a SP for your C 34 3 - an ASP ( Adjusted Speed Potential ) for your C 34 ( possible rating adjustment for sail size ) 4 - a valid  PHRF certificate, likely from PHRF-LO, so you can enter a race This might help a

Re: Stus-List FM antenna?

The splitter works well, worth the price. There are some technical challenges to consider. A VHF antenna will be tuned ( some better than others ) to 157 MHz. FM is 88 - 108 MHz.  The better the VHF antenna the less FM signal strength it will pass through. The FM station has a choice of

Re: Stus-List '88 MkII 30 polar?

This might be a rough starting point, the CS 30. http://bottrell.ca/BoatDocs/CS30Polars.pdf You could pick a few datapoints and see how close you are. Michael Brown Windburn C 30-1   Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:24:38 -0600 From: Lorne Serpa To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List 30-1 PHRF Rating

For years. at least on Lake Ontario, the normal size of a symmetrical spinnaker was 183%. PHRF-LO at the time allowed up to a 183% before a rating adjustment. You may have 183% spinnakers. I have rarely measured old spinnakers and managed to get the original dimensions within 1%. Michael Brown

Re: Stus-List 30-1 PHRF Rating

I think PHRF Lake Ontario might be setting a record for the number of measurements submitted for a C 30-1. When I started it was two, largest spinnaker max girth and headsail LP. This year I made 18 measurements and submitted 13 numbers. With a folding prop it comes out to FS: 174 and NFS: 198
