Re: Stus-List Gel coat crazing below waterline

I acquired a 1976 C 24 in July '16. This winter, I pulled the boat and had the hull soda blasted. There were many years of unnecessary anti-fouling paint built up and flaking off. After it was soda blasted, I found crazing of the gel coat everywhere. There were some gel coat blisters near the

Re: Stus-List Opinions on hull/keel crack expansion

When I pulled my C 24, I had a little keel smile, too. I got the yard to work with me to brake the keel bolt nuts free. It required just a little heat, too. We then raised the jack stands so I had about 3/4"-1" gap between the keel and the bottom of the boat. I really could not have gone more

Re: Stus-List mast gate

I ordered a fixed Mast gate / mastgates.com for my C 24 and installed it last week. It was really useful when we had to reef and un-reef during the 2017 Gov Cup race last weekend. We were able to get a better trim on the main when reefed than before. Tom and I went back and forth a couple of

Re: Stus-List Learning to sail in a small boat (Franklin Schenk)

Re: Stus-List Soda blasting bottoms

I had my C 24 Soda blasted in 2016. Awesome! I then did 3-4 coats of interlux barrier coat, then ablative anti-fouling paint. I did some fairing and minor sanding. Fixes a keel smile with rebed, too. Surveyor this past spring gave me a passing grade on all. It's way easier for sure. And can
