Stus-List Where is my old 30' CC now

2015-01-20 Thread TOM VINCENT via CnC-List
I was wondering where my original CC 30' is now. I purchased her in 1975, brand new, from Havre de Grace Marina in Maryland. What a beauty, chocolate brown hull with a cameo deck. It had the Atomic 4 engine that ran like a dream. I had never sailed in my life when I purchased her and Arvid,

Stus-List The stern squats at high speed

2015-01-11 Thread TOM VINCENT via CnC-List
I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem that I have with my 36' that has the 3 cylinder Yanmar 30 HP. While motoring if I increase the speed the stern starts squatting the faster I go. I top out at 6.5 knots of speed and the stern is way down. I have a martec 18'' folding prop and I

Kevin, Were you a Navy Seal? No one in their right mind would go for sail in the conditions you described. When the temperatures get as low as everyone is describing, you want to be home either reading a book or watching a movie- maybe taking care of the children's mother. I am going to

Stus-List Selden sprit kit install

2015-10-29 Thread TOM VINCENT via CnC-List
Two years ago I purchased the Selden sprit at the Annapolis Boat Show. It sat in my basement for the winter and in the spring I tried to install the sprit to no avail. The problem was the anchor roller alignment and the bow cleats did not allow the sprit to fit under the furling roller. I

Stus-List Fuel vent option

There is a product on the market that solves the fuel vent line from taking on water, it is the H2Out Systems. It is worth a look to check it out. I am not associated with the company in any way. Tom Vincent Frolic II 36' cb Chesapeake City, MD

Stus-List List Also looking at a C 36 - engine at an angle?

2015-09-21 Thread TOM VINCENT via CnC-List
The engine is at a small angle because the shaft exits about 4 " to port of center. The shaft has to remain straight to the transmission. Tom Vincent Frolic II 1979 36' cb Chesapeake City, MD ___ Email

Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

2016-06-17 Thread TOM VINCENT via CnC-List
I race on Wednesday nights on the Bohemia River in Maryland and lately the race committee has been doing a better job having a windward start and a down wind leg. Unfortunately, I use an assymetrical spinnaker which does very poorly dead down wind, even gybing has not helped. One of my crew was

Joel, The Hylas 44 is a great sailboat, I did not own one - a friend did. I had purchased a new Hylas 47 in 1989 and sailed her to St Thomas from Ft Lauderdale to join the CYC fleet which was all Hylases. I met and became friends with another Tom and he had a new Hylas 44. We did some

I looked at it yesterday at my local Harbor Freight and decided not to purchase. One of the big factors for me was the weight, just under 70 lbs. That is too much for me to put in a locker and get out. The price is right considering the comparable Honda is $999.00. Tom

After some great years of sailing and racing I have decided the 36' C is a little too much for this older body. I regret to say that Frolic II will be for sale very soon. I am looking at a smaller sailboat and like the Alerion 28 and the Harbor 25, both have some good pedigree. I will talking

It seems this is the year for the shaft to remove itself from the coupler. I race on Wednesday nights on the Bohemia River and 4 weeks ago I had decided to go out early and warm up a little. I had to return to the fuel dock to pick up one crew member. I was adjacent of the pier and he hopped
