Stus-List depth transducer replacement

A question about removing a depth transducer to install the new one. Based on earlier input from the list, I have used a 2 inch hole saw from the top. Fortunately the diameter of the old transducer is just shy of 2 in and the new one requires a 2 in hole. So the body of the old transducer just

Mike, Sea Hawk came with lazy jacks and were subject to most of the problems you noted. Sail flopping on the deck, sail cover a pain, generally not working, etc. When designing the new sail pack from Quantum, Clark Mckinney advised that the original jacks did not extend up high enough (short of

Re: Stus-List Lazy Jacks

Our experience with a stack pack is that it is painless except for these two thing Mike mentioned: "They often caught the batten pocket ends when hoisting the sail, were annoying when taking the main halyard forward to headboard of sail from its normal spot on end of boom (had to ensure not

Re: Stus-List Lazy Jacks

Ken, I would second that (“we really like it when short handed...”). In order to deal with these problems, I installed the lazy jacks on the spreaders (as opposed to the mast). This makes the slot wider and the sail does not get easily caught in them. I had that problem on the previous boat,

Why not simply cut the tracer string in place and tie another string to it and pull the original one out and measure it……? That leaves you with a messenger string still in place and the correct measurement Ron C. From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf

Re: Stus-List Doyle Stack Pack or Mack Pack?

I was looking at the Doyle Stack Pack information on their web site. It indicates that an existing sail can be converted to a stack pack sail. Persistence came with lazy jacks (since removed but still available for reinstallation). Also have an older UK Tape Drive main as well as an almost new

Re: Stus-List Doyle Stack Pack or Mack Pack?

Mike, interesting that you removed the lazy jacks. I installed them on my boat. I had them on my previous C 24 and I loved them. The new(er) boat came without them and I installed them after one season. I always sail short- or singlehanded and the lazy jacks help a lot when dropping the main.

Re: Stus-List Here's why it is better to sail the gulf-side of FL

My information is certainly dated, but a while back my wife was consulting for a shipping (container) line and at that time they claimed that they regularly lost about 5 containers on an average Atlantic crossing. Interestingly, they were not overtly alarmed about it. I think, fortunately, most

Re: Stus-List Doyle Stack Pack or Mack Pack?

Mike, I can't see anything that sets the stack pack apart from any other sail pack or any reason that the main would need modified. I looked and looked at the Doyle website marketing (videos and text). The only thing which seems to be "needed" is a loose footed mainsail. Even that might not be

Re: Stus-List Lazy Jacks

On larger boats it is not as much of a problem because you have to head into the wind anyway. On my C 25 I can raise the main anywhere from beam reach on. So lazy jacks create a inconvinience. Now on a 25 you really don't need one, but I will install something to save me the 3 minutes of packing

Re: Stus-List Doyle Stack Pack or Mack Pack?

The Doyle Stack Packs I’ve seen have all had the bottom edge of the sail sewn into the bottom seam of the Stack Pack. And a set of sail slugs along the bottom of the assembly are in the grove on the top of your boom. I can’t swear from experience that this is true for all Doyle Stack Packs,

Re: Stus-List Boat tools

Hi Dave, I'm with you on this. I have an ancient breast drill, seldom used but it's gotta be on the boat. Perhaps it's the only drill you can use underwater. When it comes out for show & tell, I call it "my cordless drill". http://www.thefreedictionary.com/breast+drill Cheers, Russ

Re: Stus-List Doyle Stack Pack or Mack Pack?

I know that the Mack Pack can be done for either loose footed or attached foot mains without modification to the sail. Mine (loose footed) has slugs that go into the boom track. I think the other version straps under the boom. Dave Dr. David Knecht Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology

Re: Stus-List Here's why it is better to sail the gulf-side of FL

Having worked for a forklift company that made a lot of container handling equipment, I can tell you what I recall. 5 lost containers per ship is probably not a bad guess at the average. Although it is not 5 containers off every ship, it is more the case of 100 containers off every 20th
