 Special
Notice:  The abandoned vessel Blue Dog
was successfully located and towed by Lake Shore Towing of Erie
Pa.  She now lies safe in the basin of the Erie Yacht Club as of 1045
hrs Wednesday night.  She appears to have no major damage. 

 

Now this is wild, I was down there slugging drafts after the
race as this was happening and didn’t even know it!

Insurance
company will offer to buy it back from whoever finds it out in open waters.



Had
a guy years back sailing his boat down NJ coast to bring it to a weekend
regatta, big seas, fell off a mile out with autopilot on, sails up.





Had
a nice ocean swim in to shore. 3 days later a scallop boat found it 20 miles
out. Towed it in, reported it to Coast Guard. Insu company bought it back from
the boat who found it. Thats Maritime Law.

Latest on this C&C 115, apparently the owner had a young

wrapped around the prop a couple miles out.  Don’t know why they couldn’t
sail it back, but anyway they were picked off, CG only had available a small
boat, so, probably why they didn’t tow the boat back.  Might have been
worth a call to Tow Boat US, The boat is still at large on the lake. It may be
a salvage case if he can’t get it himself, I would hire a helicopter if it was
my boat!

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 2QM15 water pump

Graham:

The pulley was on tight with no apparent misalignment. All seals, spacers, and 
bearings were new and in the proper order. The bearings and shaft reassembled 
into he pump housing without problem. Everything looked and felt correct. That 
is why I am puzzled.

Hi Ed
I'm assuming the pulley was on tight.  Did you verify that the pulley 
was properly aligned with the drive pulley?  If something was off there 
(maybe a spacer on the shaft in the wrong place, for example) it would 
put an offset load on the pulley.

Stus-List Sailing Website (racing and cruising)

[Edd Schillay]

All,

I'm looking to start up a new sailing website dedicated to racing and 
cruising news, events and forums. Something similar to Sailing Anarchy without 
all the, um, anarchy. 

There would be, of course, links to Stu's site and other boat 
information sites. 

As I formulate what to feature and what not to feature, I'd appreciate 
any input you may have as to what you'd look for in such a site and what things 
you've seen on others ties that annoy you. 

My hope is to launch in late 2012 or early 2013. You know, after the 
boat is away for the winter. :-)



All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List Sailing Website (racing and cruising)

[Martin DeYoung]

Edd,

The web site Pressure-Drop.us has a decent mix of sailing news, features and 
forums without the wild west style entertainment seen on Sailing Anarchy.  
ThreesheetsNW.com does a good job with regional news and features (linked 
blogs).  The Daily Sail web site covers serious international racing well.  For 
in depth coverage of an event like the Vendee or Volvo races I will use several 
sites and the official race web site.  The addition of Yellow Box tracking was 
entertaining for this year's Vic-Maui, Pacific Cup and the Single Handed 
Transpac.

I rarely contribute to SailNet and similar sites as the discussions tend to be 
at the same basic level year in and year out and are very well covered.  I 
never got into the Latt's and Att's type sites as I rarely am looking for 
stories of alcohol fueled miss-adventure and pot luck dinners.  I also do not 
need more magazines or web features about $1,000,000 boats with captains and 
cooks.  When I need that fix I buy a glossy magazine and drool over the latest 
super boat, usually while sitting in a airport.

What I would like to see is a site that covers the racer/cruiser segment of the 
market. (No hopped up 20 something sea lawyers racing all carbon boats on 
windward/leeward inshore courses or dreamers that will never actually own a 
boat but constantly post what if questions.)  Features about races and voyages 
that go somewhere interesting on affordable boats and the people that do their 
own boat maintenance and upgrades is more what I am thinking.  The cnc-list 
type discussions involving dedicated owners serious about improving their boats 
and skills is a good example of content that I currently enjoy.

Advertising that becomes annoying chases me off sites quickly, boat related 
adverts with pretty girls are normally tolerated.  I do pay for access to some 
types of forums (TDR for Dodge/Cummins trucks for example) when the 
quality/value of content is above average.

The ThreesheetsNW and Pressure-Drop forums are very quiet when compared to 
Sailing Anarchy.  Finding the balance between moderating the conversation to 
prevent anarchy and smothering the conversation to death may be difficult.

Hopefully that is the type of feedback you are looking for.  I hope you are 
successful.

Cruising Anarchy is a kinder, gentler subset of Sailing Anarchy[?] with a
lot of the content you are mentioning. I have seen you there on occasion
and enjoyed your contributions. It has settled down considerably since a
wealthy segment moved in, but usually that only means the girlie shots are
higher class.

[Chuck S]

Edd, 
Your blog is so funny. I hope that remains part of the new site. 
There is a lot of great content out on the web already. Maybe you could review 
and approve and copy the good stuff to your new site? 
Another idea: There are several contributers to Stus' list who write well, 
explain things in interesting, sometimes entertaining ways, maybe get them to 
write a column? 

Another idea: Get Photoboat.com to send in a photo link to some great racing 
shots. 

Good luck,
