My local shop sold me something called "Z-Clean" or "Z-Cleaner". I'll check when I get home. It works well for inflatables. I use 303 UV protection spray after every cleaning. Joe Della Barba Coquina ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List RJC 1000 Radar
Bob, I purchased one of these units, new, in 2007. The head of the boatyard where Cat's Paw is stored recommended it as a low cost but good radar system. He claimed that the electronics in these low-end radars was identical, i.e. made by the same (unknown) manufacturer and then coupled with different displays by separate companies. Much like all the CD drives for sound systems that exploded during the late 90's and early 2000's. I have no independent knowledge this is correct, however. Nevertheless, the system has worked fine for me. I used it heavily during a trip from Buzzard's Bay up to Bar Harbor (ME) and back, where we had significant fog nearly every day for two weeks, but for the local sailing we do in Buzzard's Bay, it is hardly used. I did recently sell it, though, because I wanted a system that used the same display as my helm-based chart plotter. The superposition of the radar and GPS charts seems like it would be very helpful, and it is a nuisance running below to check the radar screen, especially when I am single-handing. The SiTex radar (another low-end unit) is compatible with my SH chart plotter, so it comes with no display of its own. Apparently much better is broadband radar, which is better for seeing close objects and has lower power consumption. It does cost more, of course, and was not compatible with my existing chart plotter. In terms of price when I sold it, the only item I found for this unit on eBay was for a combined (radar plus display) price of a bit over $500 as a "buy it now" price. My unit has 50 hours total, and works perfectly, so I sold the complete unit to a fellow sailor who wanted it for $500. As others have mentioned, mounting is also expensive. I went with a platform mounted on the backstay made by Waltz Manufacturing, which has worked out fine. They were less expensive than Defender and have a variety of options available. You can find them easily on-line Contact me off-line if you want additional information.

Stus-List Bermuda 1-2 Race
The Newport-Bermuda 1-2 race is underway. The first leg is solo to Bermuda; the second is doublehanded back. There are 2 older C&Cs, a 35 and a 41. They are currently in first and second place in their divisions. What is remarkable is that the 41 (owned by an acquaintance) broke its vang, returned to its mooring, jury-rigged something and started 2 1/2 hours late! They still have almost 400 miles to go, but they are doing great! The Annapolis-Newport race is also underway. They have encountered winds from 0 to 20. One boat dropped out due to lack of wind and rum offshore! The C&C 37 seems to be in the middle of the pack. They should finish overnight. -- Joel 301 541 8551 ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List [SPAM] dingy dinghy
All kidding aside, for anyone else who needs to mess with an asbestos wrapped exhaust, the trick is to get it wet. It not only works better, but it pretty well eliminates having small bits of fibre released into the air while you are working with it. Mine is wrapped with what was then (1978) standard header wrap, which is an asbestos cloth about an inch and a half wide. On my YSB12 engine, the outlet of the cast iron exhaust elbow is fitted to an iron pipe nipple, which is fitted to an ordinary 90 degree black iron plumbing elbow, which is fitted to a copper hose barb. The 90 degree plumbing elbow eventually rusted through where the water pooled just inside from the hose barb fitting. My first and only clue that something was amiss, was water in the bilge. I couldn't tell where the water was coming from with the engine off, and could only see it by climbing into the starboard lazarette with the engine running. The water was coming through the header wrap alright, but it was not possible to tell where exactly it was leaking without removing the wrap.

I advise that you price it all out before you jump in. When shopping for which RADAR to buy, I took note that almost all the RADAR domes I saw on commercial fishing boats were Furuno. Turns out that was a good tip. I'm now half hoping that it will break so I can upgrade to a new color HD model. Now that I have the mount installed, it isn't as daunting a prospect, as far as either cost or labor to move up. I just need an excuse. I'm a cruiser, not a racer, and I don't really mind sailing in adverse conditions. I'm often headed out when others are headed in. The RADAR is something I could not do without. Bear in mind that operating and correctly reading a RADAR display requires practice. Like reading X-rays, you need to learn how to interpret what you see. Is that fat blob a navaid, or a tanker? I use mine often even when the conditions are crystal clear, just so I can compare what is on the screen to what I see with the naked eye.

Hi, this is my first post to the list. I have been following the list for a while and have just purchased a 1977 C&C 26. Mistress is in very good condition and is well rigged and has good sails. And even though she isn't in the water yet I know she will be the prettiest boat at the club ;-)... See I have been reading! I live in Edmonton, Alberta and purchased the boat in Gimli, Manitoba. This past weekend I completed the trailering of the boat here where I hope to launch in the next couple of weeks. This is her on the trailer prior to me leaving for home, http://www.flickr.com/photos/97287685@N03/9011954681/ After having now made the plunge and covered all the initial hurdles of getting her to Edmonton, the next step is getting her in the water and the mast up. This being a first sail boat for me I am a bit intimidated since this is the first stepping of the mast for me. I don't have any specific questions for the list today but I am sure I will have many in the days and weeks to come. That is it for the short introduction. I see I am even the second 26 owner to make a first post to the list today. I bet that doesn't happen everyday.

Re: Stus-List New owner of C&C 26
David welcome to the list. I have a 1977 C&C 26 just west of Calgary at Ghost Lake. I just launched today. I've had the boat about 10 years. If you need any help or advice don't hesitate to ask. And your on the right forum, these guys know most anything you need to know.Sam Salter C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta sam :-) 403-617-6280 From: David DonnellySent: Monday, June 10, 2013 9:35 PMTo: cnc-list@cnc-list.comReply To: cnc-list@cnc-list.comSubject: Stus-List New owner of C&C 26Hi, this is my first post to the list.

Stus-List Staying in the family
I sold Tangerine, my C&C24, about a month ago. Yesterday I collected Orange Crush, my new (old) C&C27 MkII. She's overall in fairly good condition, a few mechanical issues and a fair bit of deferred maintenance, but I'm pretty pleased with her. Sails very nicely, lots more space, still has lovely lines and she's orange as well! I'm thinking about changing her name, but it might grow on me. She's like dating my ex-girlfriend's older sister :) I considered lots of other boats, but in the end C&C still provided the best balance of quality, cost, speed and looks. Cheers, Paul.

Re: Stus-List Filters
I have never spayed any of my tanks, and none of them ever had kittens or puppies. I think the tank doctor is having you on.
