Stus-List Hanging a dipole

This isn't for my boat, but it is about marine hardware, sort of... First, background: I have to hang a dipole antenna for our emergency management amateur radio station. We're going to take advantage of some well placed concrete light poles in the parking lot. The dipole must be able to be

Stus-List Cruisin' Music

What do you like to listen to while underway? Our departure out the access canal to the river is to Enterprise Clears Moorings (yeah, I know, pretty ambitious for a 24...), then it can range widely, except for whatever headache-inducing noise my daughter listens to. We tend to steer towards

Re: Stus-List Boat time and weather

Too hot here to go out. Not enough breeze, and broiling in the cockpit or in the salon. Even tied up under trees, too hot to do maintenance! On 07/09/2015 09:12 AM, Richard N. Bush via CnC-List wrote: Our weather pattern here in the middle states has not bee conducive to boating; it

I see the company that made the original hamstick is gone. Is anyone else making them now? Or similar? On 07/08/2015 06:19 PM, John Pennie via CnC-List wrote: Lol - know the overkill counterpoise thing all to well. On the last boat my wife and I ran enough copper to open a mint. High

Stus-List What Model Have I?

On the bigger boats, I see many of you post the length, and a model name. Some vessels have the same manufacture year and LOA, but come from different model designs. Of my 1975 24, I have found only one model, the /Niagara/, but a look at the layout shows that mine is not a /Niagara/. I

What kind of device is on board that allows this kind of tracking (asks the newbie)? On 06/04/2015 01:11 PM, Frederick G Street via CnC-List wrote: Joel on “The Office” seems to have found some wind; he’s keeping up with the big boys! http://yb.tl/a2n2015 Fred Street -- Minneapolis

Re: Stus-List Rigging/chain-plate tie-rods

I find that down-sizing has benefited me in some parts of life. How do you feel about selling the boat, and moving to a smaller, less maintenance-intense vessel? Andrew On 06/02/2015 11:45 AM, Gary Nylander via CnC-List wrote: We have a number of boats in our local fleet with owners in

Re: Stus-List New Electrical System is Installed -- Thank YouListers!

I built a lightsaber when I was 16, unintentionally. It was *supposed* to be a 40-meter CW transmitter, but I made an error etching the circuit board, and that tube glowed BRIGHT purple when the high voltage hit it. Thus my delight that my 24' has a minimal electrical system (that's

Stus-List Score!

While strolling the clearance aisle at Wallyworld this evening I found a Humminbird PirhanhMax 175 sonar for ... $30. Exactly the kind of item that I've been keeping my eyes out for. -- Andrew Frame CC 24 Lehigh Acres/Alva, FL ___ Email

Re: Stus-List Flag Etiquette - Past Commodore's Flag - cows in spring

I'm happy I'm not in any club, or can sail to foreign ports. I'd probably start an incident among the white-whine set by flying the wrong color or logo or something. What's that? A bandanna. Drying. It's blue with white scrollwork. And? That's very close to the same design from the

Re: Stus-List Quick question re: putting gates in lifelines

I have a single 3/8 line on 18 (or so) stanchions. On the starboard side cockpit, the line has an eye and hook affair that allows you to step onto the boat, and hook it back together once aboard. A much simpler situation, but it can be done. Andrew CC-24 On 04/30/2015 01:15 PM, Barbara

Stus-List CC 24 Top o'Mast Work

I'm still doing the new-owner fixing things and the top of the mast is beckoning. It regularly gets whacked in low trees, so I have no idea what shape anything is in. The windicator is long gone, and I'm surprised the VHF whip is still attached. My mentor suggested the easiest way to do

Stus-List Ahoy.

Thought I'd take a moment and stick my head out of the hatch and say hello to the group. I have a CC-24 I use for short river sails near my home in southwest Florida. My first boat, and one I enjoy very much when I can get out to it. A! ___
