Stus-List Dodger and Bimini New England

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Hi
Yea, yea, yea, I’m still here even though I’m no longer driving a C  :).

Yea it’s a Catalina 36 MKII.

Anyway I just got a couple of local quotes to replace the Bimini, Dodger
and connecter on my non-C

Holy sticker shock Batman, two local shops quoted me $8K for just the
canvas, no metal work.  What the $&@&:)(/!!

I’m
Looking for quality and I don’t mind paying but I don’t want to get porked
just because I try to shop local.

I’m thinking of using Island Canvas in NY to duplicate?   Any thoughts or
other ideas?

I’d also consider a new main/stack pack and jib if I could get a reasonable
package deal.


Thanks!

Stus-List Refridgeration

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I have what appears to be an original circa 1999 Cold Machine.  The
compressor runs and cycles off for very short periods.  Sometimes the
temperature is perfect at 34-38 for days on end, then then other times it
will stay in the high 40's - low 50's.  Shutting it off and letting it sit
for a few hours *seems to help *but this could be anecdotal.

Two questions before I call in a pro.

Has anyone have advice for self repair?
Is it worth calling in a pro with a unit this old, or should I just remove
and replace?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

CUT AND PASTE FROM SAILNET.COM forums

Hi all,

I have moved from Manhattan to California, so have decided to give away my
beautiful 1973 C & C 35 to whomever wants her and will sail her. I can
supply the most recent survey. Whomever wants her would need to sail her
out of Liberty Landing Marina by May 10. She sails extremely well. Please
let me know if seriously interested. To be clear, this is free but you do
need be able to sail.

Cheers,
Peter

Stus-List Re chart plotter night mode

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Most of you probably know this but for those who have not experienced night
mode, it can be confusing. The areas that are light/bright become dark and
vise versa.  This could  make navigation confusing if one is unaware of the
change or not accustomed to it.
In well marked channels one is looking for aids to navigation and “stayin
in the dotted lines“ (so to speak).
In areas of large shallows, with few or no no aids to nav, following lines
of demarcation with reversed colored/shaded  areas could be dangerous until
one gets used to it.

...don’t ask how I know.

Stus-List ColRegs

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Both boats bear responsibility. My understanding of ColRegs and my
interpretation of the story leads me believe that the “racer” acted
irresponsibly by causing what appeared to be a possible collision. This
caused the “S” boat to change course to attempt to avoid colliding.
ColRegs clearly states that one must avoid collisions no matter who is
stand on...

Rule 2
(b) In construing and complying with these Rules due regard shall be had to
all dangers of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances,
including the limitations of the vessels involved, which may make a
departure from these Rules necessary to avoid immediate danger.

...and that is why insurance companies charge more if you admit to racing
when they ask you if you will.  That type of behavior takes on a higher
risk for collision.  And there is nothing wrong with that.  However, those
who pretend that navigating like a racer among non-racing vessels is
acceptable are just asking for an accident.

Stus-List Going to the DARK SIDE

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Sadly, Hanuman is sold.  The good news is that the new owner is a friend.
It came as an odd coincidence that just after the boat came off the market,
a friend decided he wanted finalize the purchase towards the end of the
summer.

In the mean time I have a accepted offer on a
Ca...CaCaCata...l.Catalina..Catali.   I can’t say it here.
It’s 36 ft long and has a transom fat enough to drive a VW through.

The 30MKII was getting to cramped.  I tried like hell to find a 34+ or 37+
but it was not to be.

I’m not leaving here, I’ll stick around. light your flamethrowers and

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 3JH2E Engine Questions

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I can start my 2gm20f after changing the racor filter without bleeding.

Not true for the Yanmar filter on the engine.  I always have to bleed at
the filter but generally not at the injectors.  I say generally because
sometime she won't start without a bleed, sometimes she starts and runs
fine and at times she runs rough but will smooth out after a few minutes.

Re: Stus-List Propeller

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

JMHO

The best all around prop for the 30MI with an A-4.

http://www.atomic4.com/propeller.html

If you are a hard core racer, this might not be the prop for you.
Otherwise, this will yield easier docking, more punch through a chop,
higher RPM (good for the engine in many ways), higher causing speed, all
while still providing reduced drag under sail.

Sorry if that sounds like a sales pitch but I was so impressed by that
little prop that I talk it up every chance I get.

Just be very careful about using it without a zinc.  They tell you that if
you go zinc less there will be no barnacle growth on the prop.  If you end
up in a 'hot' marina the prop will act as your zinc...they replaced my prop
but now they have more detailed warranty with regards to this.

Good Luck,

Stus-List C 34 For Sale

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

http://newlondon.craigslist.org/boa/5811131453.html

This boat is in my marina.  I have not seen the interior, the hull and
decks are like new.  Not exaggerating here, it looks like it just came out
of the showroom with upgraded non-skid.

I can't imagine it would cost any less than 15K to make any boat this age
look like this.  The owner also happens to own a glass/Awlgrip shop.

Disclaimer:  I have met the owner a few times very briefly as his shop is
in my area and I got an estimate from him a long time ago, I no nothing
about this boat except that it looks great.

If anyone is looking for a C, this is probably worth a look.

...Rumor around the marina is that the wife wants a powerboat...I can't
vouch for that either :)

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Hi,

My previous C had spreader lights and I used them before the advent of
cheap, reliable, LED headlamps.

My current boat has a deck light under the steaming light and I don't use
it.

One nice feature of ether deck or spreader is that you can light up the
boat in an emergency.

If you do replace them, go LED.

May you can find some that will strobe for those nights when you need to
use the deck as a dance floor.

Re: Stus-List 1988 30 MKII For Sale

Kevin,
This is not a decision I have come to without lots of mental anguish. Lol.
I have come to love the boat. I'm  hoping to find a 34+ I can grow into.

The Admiral and the 7 yr old first mate are taking up some space.

But you are right, it's nimble and quick, easy to dock and it has all the
styling and deign of a brand new boat of its size.  With the real teak wood
and built in Rob Ball genius, it's hard to beat.

Stus-List The Hunt Is On

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

@Dave, yea almost, but not so much.  I'd consider one if it came up in my
price range but that won't likely happen unless Captain Kirk decides to cut
me a deal.

@Mike,  I saw that Merlin on Yacht World. There is also a nice 34+ in
upstate NY.

My issue is that shipping and all that goes with it will probably add 10%
to the purchase price.   I have to wait for something I can sail home :)

My Budget should be 50K but of course I can go a bit higher. If I have to
add more to that in trucking, loading, stepping, etc it's just too much.

I have considered the long motor down the Hudson but that would take up
some serious time and expense as well.

I think I'm gonna have to wait for something to come up between Virginia
and Maine.  And also maybe get lucky and find someone before they get
involved with a broker and the price goes up another 10%.

Re: Stus-List Hard Starting

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

John,

Somewhere out there is a wiring diagram for adding a second solenoid to a
Yanmar.  It's a common problem.  I tried googling it, but I could not find
it straight away, don't have lots of time this AM but it IS out there.

This is a good thread for a possible fix:
http://www.tartan3500.com/uploads/3/1/1/9/3119926/starter_wiring.pdf

or:
http://forum.trailersailor.com/post.php?id=1191629

One thing that strikes me is that you mentioned it's only one of batteries.
This leads me to believe that one of your batteries is either weaker than
the other or there is another issue that is only happening on one of your
banks wiring.

Are your battery terminals clean and snug?

I have owned two sailboats and had to replace the battery selector switch
on both.  I believe both were original and gave up the ghost around the
quarter century mark.

The second one left me stranded and in need of a quick fix so I had to hire
a mechanic.  My starter fried itself and the mechanic said it may have been
partially due to the low voltage coming from the faulty selector switch.

Re: Stus-List 30-1 Vang Refit? (RANDY)

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I had 30MKI hull no. 45

If your boom has not been raised, there may a pretty steep angle for a boom
vang.  The previous owner of my boat raced it extensively and did well
without one.

I never seemed to need one but I did have the traveller moved to just aft
of the companionway and would sometimes rig a preventer to the toe rail on
a run and that would bring the boom down.

Re: Stus-List 2016 C Northeast Rendezvous -- Mystic Seaport, CT -- Sept 10-12, 2016

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I agree, lets get those registrations in early so we can finalize
everything at the Mystic Seaport.

They are really stepping up to the plate to help us have a great time and
we would like to return the favor.  September is not a slow time for them,
they have lots of Yacht Clubs doing fall weekends and they are giving us
the entire North dock!

This will be our 5th anniversary!  There is no doubt every single one has
been loads of fun.  Let's make this the biggest and best Rendezvous yet.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email me.

Re: Stus-List mast collar tangs C& C 33-2

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I'm no engineer.  Just a guess.

The older models were not designed with vertical running rigging loads at
the center of the cabin roof. There were  horizontal loads leading from
inside the mast to winches at the base of the mast

Later models had halyard, reefing, etc blocks attached to the cabin
top that lead aft to the cockpit.  These loads are vertical.

In my untrained brain I always assumed that was the reason for the tangs on
my 30 MKII and the lack of tangs on my 30 MKI

But again, I'm no engineer

Stus-List Annapolis yard recommendations?

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I was hauled at Port Annapolis when I bought my boat.

I cannot comment on their workmanship as I did everything myself but launch
the boat.  The staff was pleasant and the yard seemed busy and
professional.  Lots of cruising boats on the hard with home ports from all
over.

They do have a decent chandlery and there are several other marine related
shops and craftsmen nearby, including a Yanmar dealer and a West Marine
just down the street.

The Yanmar shop was pretty big

Prices seemed a bit high, but I was used to a bare bones yard in CT, a far
cry from Annapolis.

Stus-List Re sail loft service

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Does anyone have an idea how much the shipping cost is from Phuket?

We could take up a collection and I'll go pick up a dozen or so sails :)

Seriously though. I get my suits made in Thailand from a reputable shop.  I
can pay for a plane ticket+ with the savings on customer suits and shits.
Maybe I can do the same with sails.

Stus-List 34+

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Folks,

I'm starting that long journey to a bigger boat.  I'm looking for a 34+
with a 5 ft draft.

My budget most likely will not allow for a long delivery.  So I'm looking
at boats located in the Chesapeake to Maine, on the East Coast.

I'd also consider a CS 34 or 36 with the transom step.

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint help needed

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I used 1.5 - 2 gallons on my 30MKI
Depending on the year and how much of the old stuff I took off.

Two good coats and a third on the waterline and leading edges of the
keel/hull/ruddder would still be less than two gallons on Ultra.

That paint worked out great for me.  I switched to petit because of a big,
deep discount and it works almost as good but I think the hull came out
just a tad cleaner with the ultra.

Re: Stus-List inflatable cleaning

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Dave,

It's calcium.  At your age you need all the calcium you can get.

OK... mild acid, maybe even vinegar, should reduce the little discs to
goop.  I would start with a $3 gallon of vinigar mixed with dish soap so it
sticks a bit, then go from there.

Then you can blend with ice, ensure, geritol and rum.  Like a calcium
colada.

Sorry.  I just can't help myself.

Stus-List Re; Boat names

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

My first boat, C 30MKI was named Trysail.  The previous owner sold Flying
Scotts (I think) at one time so it was a play on words.  She still carries
that name.

My new boat, C 30 MKII, was named Lagniappe when I purchased her.  Talk
about a mouth full and a triple repeat on the spelling when calling a
bridge, marina, or vessel.  After the delivery trip North from Annapolis to
Mystic I changed the name.  I got tired of repeating myself.  Didn't like
the name myself, but anyone from New Orleans seemed to love it, reminded
them of home.

So I renamed my current boat HANUMAN.  Seems simple enough and I'm still
amused that most folks can't pronounce it, nor spell it.  HA NEW MAN.

Hanuman is a very prevalent character in the Ramayana and his picture is
probably hanging on the wall in every Indian restaurant in the world.
Millions of kids watch him in cartoons.  He's carved into every early
Buddhist/Hindu temple across Asia.  I just happen to be on the wrong side
of the world now and I guess I spent to much time in Asia.

Oddly enough, Hanuman is also the namesake of one of the J Class yachts.
The owner has spinnaker graphics similar to the tattoo on my leg. :)
 Fortunately, I had the tattoo longer so I can say he stole my idea..lol
It's the Khmer version of Hanuman carved into the the temples of Cambodia,
Laos, Thailand and Burma/Myanmar.

Anyway, the Ramayana is one of those books everyone should read, or at
least try to, once in their life.

I hope I didn't put anyone to sleep with this tale

Stus-List Northeast Rendezvous 2015

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

All,

Hats of to Ed For putting together a wonderful weekend.

Notable events, not in any particular order:

Getting to meet Stu and here war stories about the list and its history,
more intriguing that I would have imagined.

Launching Chinese lanterns from the cockpit of Corsair sometime during the
Whiskey tasting.

Ice delivered to my boat by the great staff at Cedar Island Marina.

Waking with a headache and ashtray mouth.

Meeting up with new friends and old.  Notably the Friday night get together
and Saturday afternoon "boat show"

Pulling Aurora off a soft grounding.

Aft cabin envy after a tour of Enterprise.

I'm already looking forward to next year!  Stay tuned for exciting
announcements.

Stus-List 88 CC 30 MKII Stiff

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

remove the through  bolts from the plate that holds the cap to the rudder
post/emergency tiller point.

Remove the plastic bearing and lubricate.

Replace the bearing ant test for stiffness in the steering. If it's still
stif you may need to lightly sand the inside of the bearing, as I did, and
retest until you are happy with the results.

It's only a couple of hours work. You will need sealant for the cap and
through bolts.

But first you will need to trap a spider monkey and train him or her to
hold a wrench on those through bolts. I actually bribed a friend who is
small and flexible. After that miserable job he's no long we my friend.
Maybe I'd still have the monkey?

Feel free to contact me off list if you have any questions.

Re: Stus-List Emergency Tiller Bracket Squeaking

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I have an 88 30MKII

Long story short... I survey two 30MKII during my trek to find my boat.

The first had a very stiff steering issue, the brokers yard fixed it before
I had it surveyed.  The would not tell me what was wrong or what they did
to fix it.  In the end, the boat surveyed poorly and the owner would not
negotiate.

The second boat had the same issue, but the price was right and the boat
surveyed well.  I purchased the boat and addressed the stiff steering issue
myself.

AFTER disassembling most of the steering and pedestal bits and lubricating
the heck out of the lower bearing all to no avail...

I removed the through bolts that hold the collar on emergency steering
thingamabob.  This got me to the white plasiticish bearing doohicky.

I slid the bearing off, sanded it with fine emery cloth, gave it a bath in
lots of white synthetic grease safe for plastic bits and put it all back
together.  Three seasons later both the steering and myself are still
smooth as silk.

Stus-List CC30-1 climb to top of mast?

Been up the mast of my previous boat (30MKI) and lived to tell the tale.
That mast and rigging is built to twice the specs of some other production

right knots, have a plan B, and some good hands on both the primary and

 Hi all,

 I would prefer a forum.  That being said, for the amount of original

 Sailnet has a CC section.  Sailboatowners.com used to have a CC

 I wonder if someone like Sailnet (or some other commercial site) would
 give us a password protected area to post our own questions.  It would
 still drive us to their site and might not cost anything.

 Then again, attaching a forum to the photoalbum would drive more traffic
 there.

 We don't really need much.  Often forums get diluted with multiple

 politics and religion that we seem to be free of in our email community.

Yanmar 3gm has no glow plug, correct?  More cranking amps might mean faster
cranking in the spring and late fall. My 2gm does better in cold weather
with a faster crank. I'm on a mooring as you are and I feel it makes a

Re: Stus-List Universal M4-30 (Eric Baumes)

I have to ask the question: will it fit in the hole?

That's a lot of engine for a 29ft boat. The A-4 only put out About 18hp at
the RPM that it probably generated pushing your boat.

My yanmar 2gm20f seems to have more power than my A-4 did

Stus-List Fuel tank access port

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Hello All,

I have an '89 30 MKII.  It has what I believe to be the original fuel tank.
The tank has two access ports. They look like they may have been added, but
could be original, not sure.

Both ports are held closed with machine screws. The aft port does not leak
and I have yet to remove it.

The forward access port weeps fuel.  I removed the cover and found that it
appears to have been sealed with a black substance I'm guessing is permatex.

I'm going to empty the tank and try to clean it without opening the aft
port (as it does not leak).

The fuel looks OK and I don't see anything real nasty but there is some
black gunk at the bottom. So I'm gonna change it all and clean the tank by
hand.

Question is: how and what should I use to re-seal the access port?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated

Re: Stus-List The stern squats at high speed

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this...

The stern of a displacement hull vessel will begin to submerge as you
approach hull speed.  It's settling into the trough of its own wake(s).

Even kayaks do it.

Someone told me a long time ago that a displacement vessel could
theoretically sink itself if it had enough power.

YMMV

Does anyone have any pictures from Newport, (or of the trip to/from) they

we get more stuff and exposure for next year.

Also, I will be putting together an online photo album so we have them all

Stus-List re Online Captains License or class room?

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I took mine in the classroom.  I enjoyed the classroom experience, met some
nice people and it kept me out of trouble on a week night for part of the
winter.  The rest of the winter I was in big trouble.

I'm going back this winter for an upgrade and a refresher, then I'm going
to get the actual license.

Re: Stus-List 2015 Northeast Rendezvous Dates Question

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I like September 12 - 13.

Later is probably too cold.

Holiday weekend seems like there are too many things going on and for
myself it would be highly unlikely I could get away from work.  But, if it
works for everyone else then I say go for it.

Stus-List Drone at the N.E. Rendezvous

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Greeting,

Does anyone remember who had the drone at Rendezvous in Newport this year?
I would like to get some pictures or video to the companies that
contributed to the swag AND use it to get more stuff next year.

Yes there was a drone, no I do not wear a tin foil hat ...and YES, just
because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you.

Now someone please explain what happens to the missing sock.

Stus-List CC 37/40 + Pricing

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

For the mast to be removed, the boat went into the water.  That seems like
an expensive proposition for a boat that size.

I'm going to guess that the boat was recently launched and the rig taken
down for a survey under a purchase agreement.  If the deal fell through the
broker/owner would not bother spending the money to step the mast and rig
the boat.

If I'm correct, you might find out who owns that survey and purchase it
before going any further.

There is also the possibility that the survey was halted (some surveyors
will let you pay X amount and just pack it in if there are major defects
found early in the process) and no formal survey written.  If so, you might
be able to buy that information from the surveyor himself.

Anyway, if it were me and I was local, I would start sniffing around and
find out why a boat that big was suddenly launched, de-rigged, and then
hauled again.

Good luck,

Rob

Stus-List 2014 Northeast Rendezvous

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Fellow CC'ers.

Amazing, we pulled off three in a row!  Mystic, Block Island, Newport, all
fantastic locations and next year we head west into central Long Island
Sound.

For those of you New Englanders who didn't make it, I encourage you to get
there next year.  Bring your boat, it's worth the trip.  I think for all of
us who sail in, it is becoming one of the high lights of the season and a
final cruise as we wind down into fall sailing.

Charley, you did a great job keeping us fed and watered, although most
never did touch the bottled water.  We had more than enough grub and grog
to keep everyone happy for two evenings!  For the weekend of Sept. 19,
you were the hardest working man in show biz.

Andrew, sorry we missed you and thanks for all your hard work getting the
ball rolling.

Dave, got things organized on the dock, handled the behind the scenes
aggravation and proved. yet again, to be an excellent dancer (this time we
have us on video and you probably don't even remember).

CC Yachts/US Watercraft really came through for us, I mean what could be
better than getting two brand new CC Yachts, a fascinating guest speaker,
and picking up our tab for the dockside food and drink?  I'm so impressed
I'm almost starting to like the new logo!

Special thanks to the CC Crew that brought the boats over and took people
out sailing.

Mohegan Sun, thanks for the tchotchkes.

Good Old Boat Magazine, thanks for the latest issues.

Sailing Magazine, thanks for stopping by, we look forward to the photos.

Thanks to Stu for keeping up the website and email list.

For everyone who made it by land or sea, without YOU there would be no
Rendezvous.  That is what makes it all possible.

I encourage all of you to take a moment of your time and shoot a quick
thank you email to:

Stus-List CC Rendezvous 2015

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I think it's great we are already looking to 2015!

I've been in and out of Milford many times and don't recall anything close
to 5 ft in the channel. I only draw 5 so I'm not bothered unless it goes
below 7.

Active captain review says 8 ft at low tide on Milford Landing approach,
some slips are 5 ft and to check with management.

If Clinton or Milford don't work I would also suggest Greenport NY -
Mitchell Park Marina - Great spot with loads of bars, restaurants,
shopping, etc.  Cheap slips off season (floating, concrete, inside a
breakwater)!

Re: Stus-List follow-up on outboards

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Here is my two cents.

Engine issues will not simply go away by purchasing an outboard.  Outboards
break down, it's a fact of life.

On of the reasons I justified selling my 30MMKI with an A-4 was that the
engine was the original, 1972, raw water cooled, soon to die, at the end of
the line, it must be, it's old, it's only a matter of time  Well, I
made fast friends with the new owner, they kept the boat in the same yard
and that engine is still running strong.

Buying a fancy shmancy boat with a Yanmar (and a monthly payment to the
bank) simply gave me more things to learn about.  Yes, the Yanmar is
reliable.  Yes the Yanmar has needed some repairs and maintenance.

Burt Stratton has given you some great advice.  Most of the things he has
mentioned can be done with basic tools and a bit of hand-eye coordination.

The coil problem you mentioned leads me to ask one question; Did you buy
the coil Moyer recommends?  I had coil problems.  First I bought a cheap
coil from NAPA, then i bought a better coil from NAPA.  I eventually
purchased the exact coil from Moyer and that was the final coil I purchased.

If you are keeping the boat and the engine does not have good compression
or you have other reason to believe it's DOA, then, my advice is to
seriously consider the Moyer Option.

Read the Moyer forums and learn as much about the engine as you can so you
can service it yourself and learn to fix it yourself in a pinch.

OR, buy an outboard and join some outboard forums so you can service and
fix that outboard yourself while stranded out at sea with no wind.

You have options;
1.  Hang off the stern cursing with bleeding knuckles while dropping tools
into the water.
2.  Curse with bleeding knuckles down below in the shade practicing to be a
carnival contortionist.

Re: Stus-List dual ownership?

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

On the subject of partnerships; Does anyone have any experience with some
sort of limited partnership.

Here is my situation:
30 MKII, in very nice but not perfect shape.
Well equipped for weekends and short cruises.  Basic electronics and older
sails.
I don't race, the sails are decent but to race competitively would require
$eriou$ upgrades.
I work almost every weekend and holiday.
I'm limited in my summer vacation time.
I have my own mooring so I simply pay for dinghy storage/access at a marina
in the summer.
Winter haul out/storage is very reasonable and I do ALL my own maintanence
and repairs.
The boat is financed/insured.


I'm on my boat every tues/wed/thurs and end up using it about three or four
weekends a year.  One for my spring cruise and one for my fall cruise.

I have often considered a partner or putting the boat out for charter to
help cover costs as I'm never on it during the weekend.

As the boat is financed, it would seem wise to keep it in my name and find
someone who would contribute marina fees and use the boat darn near any
weekend they choose.  Maybe just keep it on a year to year basis, sort of
like a lease?

$2K per year would most of the marina/storage fees and I don't plan on any
major upgrades.

Or would that create more problems than it would solve?

 Bob,



 You bring up an excellent point about CO detectors. (not CO2). Any fired
 device (stove, engine, generator, etc.) is capable of quickly generating
 dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in a confined space such as the cabin
 of a sailboat. It is very rare to find one properly installed on a boat. I
 am not aware of any code requirements but there are battery operated
 combination photo-electric / CO detectors on the market at very reasonable
 cost. I highly recommend them. I had two in my 1954 38 foot wheeler. We ran
 the generator frequently for long periods of time while on board.

 Atomic four engines are safe if properly maintained.  Those of you who
 claim otherwise are just blowing smoke.



 Those of you who are under the impression that a diesel upgrade saving you
 .5 gallons per hour will pay off in a lifetime of a weekend sailor have
 lost the plot or have not done the simple math.



 US$10,000.00 for a diesel upgrade, saving US$2.00 in fuel per hour of
 motoring will take how long to pay for itself?  (My old A4 burned about 3/4
 to 1.0  gallon an hour, my Yanmar turns 1/2 - 3/4 a gallon per hour.)



 For those of you so scared of gasoline engines, how many of you keep a car
 or two, lawn mower, weed whacker, leaf blower, spare gas can, oil, paint,
 spray cans, etc. ad nauseam in your attached garage?  Really?



 How many of you keep that gas grill and/or spare propane tanks in that
 same garage?  Or sitting on the deck outside your bedroom window?



 How many of you have a smoke detector and CO2 detector on your boat?



 Those of you who throw stones better not have your kids napping in the
 Vberth whilst you run that motor without CO2 detector(S).



 The key to ANY engine is maintaining it.  Constantly.  Regular periodic
 maintenance and upgrades.  Just like any other gas engine, you can't leave
 it for a decade and expect your fuel lines, tank or carb not to develop
 problems.



 Install a quality petcock on the fuel lines and close it when you close
 the through hulls at the end of the day  Oh, you don't close your
 through hulls?...  Never mind.



 Rant complete, over and out.

Stus-List was A4, now Propane Locker

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Bill,

Holy crap, I never thought of that.  My boat came with a latch and lock on
the propane locker.

Here I am spouting off at the gizzard thinking I'm doing the right thing.
 Assuming you are correct, and it seems like you may be, I guess I have to
remove that latch and think of a new way to remind myself to shut off the
valve.

Surveyor never noticed either.

Thanks,

Rob

Stus-List was A4, now Propane Locker

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

OK, while we are on the subject of silly things.  The Previous owner of my
boat had a fire extinguisher located in the propane locker.

I thought it was kinda silly at first, I mean, who's gonna wanna reach in
there if somethings ablaze?

Then I thought about it some more and I figured if it got hot enough the
pressure relief valve would just cause it to discharge all by itself, maybe
aiding fire suppression any thoughts?

For the record, I have more than enough fire extinguishers located all over
the boat.  I believe in having at least one in each cabin/room of the boat *in
addition* to the bare minimum that the CG requires.

Re: Stus-List . Re: Yanmar 2GM20 Starter Not Starting / Engaging

I'm out cruising so I can't do the research to find a link to the info
but... If you google around enough you should find some info on a known
Yanmar 2GM20 issue involving the starter relay. IF this is your problem, it
won't be fixed without installing a second relay.

I don't know how many years they made them like this but I'm gonna guess
yours is approx a 1988?

If I get to  a wifi signal and can use my iPad I'll try and find more info

Stus-List CC 30 mk1 rudder design

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

I owned hull #44 for 12 years and sailed it extensively, never raced.  I
now own a 30 MKII

I sailed in Fisher's Island Sound/LIS/BIS.  Wind can be blowing stink on
one end of Fisher's and becalmed on the other.  Some call LIS The Dead
Sea in August but it can be rocking at the mouths of the rivers or out at
the race.  Dead air at noon, windy by 3PM, dying again by 5PM, glass at
sunset.  By the time you reef or put up a bigger head sail it's time to do
the opposite.  It can take longer to rig the spinnaker than you will get to
fly it.

Here is my take on the 30 MKI.  It's a bear, seems to love plowing through
the water with the rail buried deep.  It points very high, sails fast and
easy for its vintage.  It's such a fun boat to sail.

There is a lot of weather helm if you have too much sail up.  The problem
is, it's so stiff and will continue to plow through the water near hull
spead that it's easier to fight the helm than reef, especially short handed
or cruising.

In 12 years I reefed my main once, just for practice.  Never bothered
again, reefed the 135% on the furler or sailed on the jib alone.

If the rudder stalls or the boat rounds up you have way, WAY too much sail
up and it's probably blowing 35.

My 30MKII will misbehave so much earlier, I reef regularly and fly a
smaller headsail.  However, the boat moves along nicely in light air
whereas the 30MKI is not so much of a light air boat without a huge
headsail...like 175%, then it moves right along.

Most of these boats came set up for racing with lots of winches and cleats.

The 30MKI with single or double line reefing, all lines led aft, a clean
foredeck, self tailing winches, stack pack, and a redesigned cabin could be
the ultimate daysailer/overnighter.  If I hit the powerball, that is what
would be sitting at my dock waiting for me to go out for the
afternoon...one of these days I'll buy a ticket.
