Stus-List Spinnaker pole storage

2015-05-02 Thread Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List
> We have 2 poles on the boat now, the spinnaker pole and the whisker pole.

For the whisker pole I sort of copied the design.  I have 2 stanchion mounted 
furler line fair Leeds and a stainless U bolt that screws into the holes where 
the line would go. That's mounted on the bow pulpit and I have a Forespar 
stanchion mount on the aft part.  I like that on both sides the pole end jaw is 
closed on a rigidly mounted loop. This way no matter what there's no chance of 
a 1000.00 $ + pole slipping to Davy Jones' locker.

In both cases it's right above the rail and does not interfere in any way.

Btw.  The Forespar telescopic whisker pole is awesome. The fact that the length 
is adjustable from the mast end is a terrific feature. You shorten it to less 
than the J for gibes, it extends to about 22 ft for wing on wing.  It works 
well for reaching when pointed straight forward (almost at the forestay ) or 
shortened  and set to leeward for the mother of barber haulers effect.

Stus-List Need help finding a boat

2015-05-02 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
A few weeks ago there was a mention on the list of a late 60s/early 70s 40
foot center cockpit C&C ketch that was for sale. I think the name of the
boat was something like Badness, and she was in South Carolins. I recall
looking at photos and dpecs and thinking it would be an interesting cruising
boat, but deleted the emails about it.

 

I have just been talking to a friend who is looking for a boat to cruise the
ICW during retirement. And it sounds like the C&C center cockpit ketch might
be a possibility for him.

 

Can anyone steer me to th link for information about this boat?
