Stus-List webasto heater exhaust fitting

After freezing my tail off last season on some overnight races, I finally broke down and am in the process of installing a heater on the boat. With the reverse angle on the transom, I understand there can be issues installing the straight through transom fitting that came with the kit. I

Dave - In addition to the comments on rod rigging, and as a point of reference for you on costs, I had an old Stearns headstay/furler and replaced it this fall with a Harken. This required that I add a new forestay. For multiple reasons I went with rod vs wire. Total cost for just the

I always understood the on-the-water hours qualification was the more limiting restriction. Is that not in place anymore? I know a lot of licensed captains out there aren’t worth a damn. IE: It takes more than just passing a test. From: CnC-List

Stus-List block lubricant

2014-08-13 Thread Pete Shelquist via CnC-List
We just finished a week long distance race series and during the race I noticed that the blocks that we lube with T-9 become pretty gunked up. We cleaned with a solvent, rinsed with soapy water and fresh water, then re-applied. Same result after a day or two. Anyone have similar experience?

Stus-List tight reaching

2014-07-27 Thread Pete Shelquist via CnC-List
I recently had a mid-distance race in which a majority of the race was tight reaching in flat water, 10-15 breeze. We had our heavy #1 up. A number of boats (CC39, CC38, Sabre 36, Tarten Ten) worked up on us pretty well in those conditions. I obviously need to trim the sails differently and

Stus-List babystay tie rods

2014-06-13 Thread Pete Shelquist via CnC-List
On my 37, the babystay has two tie rods going from the deck to the hull. On this boat these run straight down on either side of the door to the head. There are turnbuckles at the base of the rod by the hull to adjust the tension. In my case, one is significantly looser than the other.

Steve - I haven’t done this on a boat as big as yours, but in the past we have taken a line from the butt of the mast forward to a snatch block and then back to a winch and grind it forward. Not really as hard as it sounds. Obviously get the rig loose first, etc.Hope that helps.
