Stus-List Dodger for 34+

2015-10-14 Thread davepulaski via CnC-List
So I'm having discussions with a canvas maker about fabricating a dodger for my 
'90 34+, and I'd like to solicit some input from other 34+ owners who have a 
dodger, and I'd really love to see some pictures! 

This will be a from-scratch build, as the boat never had a dodger.

Obviously I want it to be good looking and not detract too much from the lines 
of the boat, but there are some functional challenges I can see with putting a 
dodger on a 34+.

First, clearance for the big self-tailers on the corners of the cabin top.  Th 
canvas maker I'm speaking with expressed concern that the dodger side panels 
and/or frame may interfer with full rotation of the winch handle. 

Second: how high above the companionway hatch is your dodger, and how much does 
 it create awkward access in and out of the companionway?  This is difficult 
for me to visualize, but I can see it being an issue because the bridgedeck is 
so very long on these boats.  I don't want the dodger any taller than 
absolutely necessary for aesthetic and visibility reasons.

Third, and this is the core purpose of me getting a dodger, how far back does 
your dodger extend over the forward end of the cockpit?   This is my #1 reason 
for getting a dodger because The Admiral needs a cozy,  SHADY spot where she 
can sit facing backwards up against the cabin top bulkhead and read a book 
while I toil away sailing the boat.   If the dodger stops at the aft end of the 
cabin top,  it won't provide any shade to the cockpit thus defeating the whole 
purpose.   Do you guys get any usable shade in the front of the cockpit from 
your dodgers?  A bimini is out of the question;  not only do I absolutely hate 
biminis, but my travelers is in the cockpit in front of the pedestal making a 
bimini pretty much impractical. 

I really want this done right... any input will be much appreciated!

My A4 reached its end of life at the same time that I reached my end of

various bits and pieces will soon be on Craigslist (Jacksonville). Not sure how 
shipping and all that works (especially to Canada). I'm just looking for some 
sort of "fair market value" (or less). Among the pieces is a brand new, 
stainless exhaust riser.  If there's no interest, it will be mounted as an

My experience says foulies have a finite life.  I had high end Henri Lloyd
offshore foulies that self destructed after 10 years or so.  I also had low
end West Marines that blew up after a few years.

I have Musto now and am impressed with them.

I'm beginning to believe it doesn't matter what foulies you get, they're
only going to last a few years, especially if you leave them on the boat.
I say go for them!

Or maybe it would be too hard to be flexible in?

Depending on how old the Gill gear is, I would contact them directly; they
may well take it back and fix or replace it. That has been my experience
with a bunch of manufacturers.
Personally, I have had good luck with Gill gear through the years and just
got a set of their offshore stuff to replace some free gear I got years ago.

Stus-List Dodger for 34+

2015-10-14 Thread Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List
Hi Dave, 

I've got one on mine. it looks original to the boat and is still in pretty 
good shape, I had it re-stitched and windows replaced a couple years ago. 
It does not go very far back but does provide shade if you sit close to 
the bulkhead or even better, lean back on the bulkhead lounge chair 
style.. :-) Here's what it looks like:  
https://www.flickr.com/photos/133565480@N04/21980567419/in/dateposted-public/

It works well / does not get in the way too much.  When we're racing we 
fully open  / remove the front windows to have completely free access to 
the traveler and all the clearance for the winch handles. A shorter handle 
works better as the longer ones can touch the windows. 

If you really want shade then you add the "Bikini" Bimini..  It's 
basically a Sunbrella extension that zips-up to the dodger on one end and 
has a pole on the other. You attach the middle of the pole to the backstay 
tensionning car  and the ends to the stern pulpit.  It's a bit of a '"rig 
job" but it's good shade for the really hot days.  It's no good for 
sailing in 10 knots of wind or more but just the ticket for lazy 4 knots 
summer afternoons or when motoring / at anchor.


https://www.flickr.com/photos/133565480@N04/22154946462/in/dateposted-public/

Like you, I don't like sailing with a bimini anyway.  Except for those 
aforementioned 4 knots lazy summer wine and cheese cruises I'm too OCD to 
sail without constantly looking at my main  / fiddling with trim and helm 
to keep all telltales optimized. 


I can take more detailed pictures if you'd like.

Different Boat, but I did mine the opposite way. I made a small bimini and have 
an extension that zips to the front edge and extends forward with a tent pole 
in the front. It can’t be used while sailiing since it is above the boom but 
it’s great while docked or when motoring down the waterway. It also held up 
fine when motoring into a 15 kt breeze. I don’t have a good pic of the awning 
but there are a couple of shots of the bimini in this album-

Re: Stus-List Dodger for 34+

2015-10-14 Thread David Blair via CnC-List
Dave I can take a few pics for you. My dodger is fairly functional although I 
think it could have been extended back a few inches to increase the shade. I 
would like to have a bimini but the length of the boom is really going to limit 
the height and usefulness. To me a decent bimini needs to stand on the pushpit 
to not crowd access around the binnacle. The PO had a complete enclosure built 
but I have the aft hoops in the garage as they restrict movement significantly. 
 It is sunny today and I was going down to check things anyway, so will send 
from my iPhone if you can give me a number to text them to.

dodger, and I'd really love to see some pictures! 

 

This will be a from-scratch build, as the boat never had a dodger.

 

Obviously I want it to be good looking and not detract too much from the lines 
of the boat, but there are some functional challenges I can see with putting a 
dodger on a 34+.

 

First, clearance for the big self-tailers on the corners of the cabin top.  Th 
canvas maker I'm speaking with expressed concern that the dodger side panels 
and/or frame may interfer with full rotation of the winch handle. 

 

Second: how high above the companionway hatch is your dodger, and how much does 
 it create awkward access in and out of the companionway?  This is difficult 
for me to visualize, but I can see it being an issue because the bridgedeck is 
so very long on these boats.  I don't want the dodger any taller than 
absolutely necessary for aesthetic and visibility reasons.

 

Third, and this is the core purpose of me getting a dodger, how far back does 
your dodger extend over the forward end of the cockpit?   This is my #1 reason 
for getting a dodger because The Admiral needs a cozy,  SHADY spot where she 
can sit facing backwards up against the cabin top bulkhead and read a book 
while I toil away sailing the boat.   If the dodger stops at the aft end of the 
cabin top,  it won't provide any shade to the cockpit thus defeating the whole 
purpose.   Do you guys get any usable shade in the front of the cockpit from 
your dodgers?  A bimini is out of the question;  not only do I absolutely hate 
biminis, but my travelers is in the cockpit in front of the pedestal making a 
bimini pretty much impractical. 

 

I really want this done right... any input will be much appreciated!

Stus-List best varnish for underwater use

2015-10-14 Thread Eric Frank via CnC-List
A friend is painting their sailboard's wooden rudder and centerboard.  Won't be 
left underwater for long periods of time - perhaps a few days at a time.  What 
are your recommendations for what to use?

Re: Stus-List Dodger for 34+

Whatever basic dodge design you use I have one recommendation that I will 
implement in my Dodger 2.0.  Try to have the dodger to deck joint as 
tight/water-resistant as possible.  When it is snotty outside its nice to keep 
those aggressive seas on the working side of the dodger and not hydraulically 
scoping out your wife on the non-working side

Dave I can take a few pics for you. My dodger is fairly functional although I 
think it could have been extended back a few inches to increase the shade. I 
would like to have a bimini but the length of the boom is really going to limit 
the height and usefulness. To me a decent bimini needs to stand on the pushpit 
to not crowd access around the binnacle. The PO had a complete enclosure built 
but I have the aft hoops in the garage as they restrict movement significantly.

Re: Stus-List Dodger for 34+

2015-10-14 Thread David Knecht via CnC-List
I will try to remember to take some pictures of mine this weekend.  I put it on 
when cruising and most of the time leave the frame up and the canvas off.  Even 
when I put on the canvas, I have never added the side panels, so I view them as 
dispensable.  The empty frame has the advantage of another thing to hold onto 
in the cockpit.  It has the disadvantage of something to hit your head on, 
especially when coming up from below with your head down.  The bimini that came 
with mine (both were purchased by the PO) is pretty useless.  It does not come 
back far enough to cover the helm seat, so in rain it just runs onto your head 
and neck.  There is no frame for the bimini- it zips to the dodger and a bar in 
the back attaches to the backstay.  I would avoid that approach.  Dave

Re: Stus-List Commercial Foul Weather Gear

2015-10-14 Thread Martin DeYoung via CnC-List
> I have Musto now and am impressed with them.
I also have a set of Musto offshore foul weather gear and have been very 
satisfied.  IIRC they are now nearing 20 years old with usage that includes 2 
Hawaii crossings and 4 PNW to So Cal deliveries.  They still keep me dry and 
warm.  I have noticed some signs of age and wear but for my currently planned 
sailing I expect to get a few more years of use.  They are not made from the 
newer Gore-Tex type material but from old school nylon based materials with 
good dry suit type seals around the wrists and some fiber pile around the 
collar and in the hand sized pockets.  It seemed like a big investment at the 
time but given the long use and high level of comfort I plan on doing the same 
when replacing this set.

If you are planning some entertaining offshore sailing there is a thread over 
on Sailing Anarchy regarding foul weather gear layering for a voyage around 
Cape Horn.  The discussion focuses on how to use multiple Gore-Tex type layers 
for the best combo of letting moisture out while keeping spray/rain at bay.

I have Musto now and am impressed with them.
I'm beginning to believe it doesn't matter what foulies you get, they're only

++ for the Musto.

I’ve had lots of FW gear over the years, all the way back to Patagonia’s 
original offerings (who remembers those!?) and have settled on Musto for

Re: Stus-List Dodger for 34+

2015-10-14 Thread Dave Godwin via CnC-List
Dave the OP, (lot of Dave/Davids in this post…),

Although not a 34+ owner, if you haven’t already thought about it, you may wish 
to specify that the side panels be made using clear material like the front of 
the dodger. This is how my dodger setup is and when the panels (removable…) are 
in the visibility is pretty good. I’m not fond of the “dark cave” effect of 
many dodgers.

Here is a different approach, ie. DIY hard dodger. It is very intriguing to
me as the stitches begin to dissolve on our dodger though I would prefer to
use an FRP panel over Starboard...

Kevin, I spotted that Jet Ski at Great Guana Key in the Abacos this summer and 
had to take a pic of it! I have no idea how he rigged up steering cables or the 
throttle but it looked hilarious! The mud bank it was sitting on wasn’t 
something I wanted to slog through and the water was too shallow for the dinghy 
so I didn’t get a close up look.

So I'm having discussions with a canvas maker about fabricating a dodger 
for my '90 34+, and I'd like to solicit some input from other 34+ owners who 
have a dodger, and I'd really love to see some pictures! 



This will be a from-scratch build, as the boat never had a dodger.



Obviously I want it to be good looking and not detract too much from the 
lines of the boat, but there are some functional challenges I can see with 
putting a dodger on a 34+.



First, clearance for the big self-tailers on the corners of the cabin top.  
Th canvas maker I'm speaking with expressed concern that the dodger side panels 
and/or frame may interfer with full rotation of the winch handle. 



Second: how high above the companionway hatch is your dodger, and how much 
does  it create awkward access in and out of the companionway?  This is 
difficult for me to visualize, but I can see it being an issue because the 
bridgedeck is so very long on these boats.  I don't want the dodger any taller 
than absolutely necessary for aesthetic and visibility reasons.



Third, and this is the core purpose of me getting a dodger, how far back 
does your dodger extend over the forward end of the cockpit?   This is my #1 
reason for getting a dodger because The Admiral needs a cozy,  SHADY spot where 
she can sit facing backwards up against the cabin top bulkhead and read a book 
while I toil away sailing the boat.   If the dodger stops at the aft end of the 
cabin top,  it won't provide any shade to the cockpit thus defeating the whole 
purpose.   Do you guys get any usable shade in the front of the cockpit from 
your dodgers?  A bimini is out of the question;  not only do I absolutely hate 
biminis, but my travelers is in the cockpit in front of the pedestal making a 
bimini pretty much impractical. 



I really want this done right... any input will be much appreciated!

All diesel is made to the same set of standards. The red
stuff just has a dye  in it to indicate that the highway fuel
tax has not been paid.

When your engine was built, diesel fuel had 5000 parts per
million of Sulphur content. The Sulphur was a significant
factor in lubricating the injection pump, injectors, etc.

In the mid to late 90s, in anticipation of the Tier 2
emissions standards, Low Sulphur diesel became mandatory.
Sulphur content was reduced to 500 PPM, and lubricity
additives were incorporated in the fuel.

In the middle of the last decade, in anticipation of Tier 3
emission standards, Ultra Low Sulphur diesel became
mandatory. Sulphur content on current fuel is 15 PPM. A new
Tier 3 engine is designed to run on ULS fuel, just like a new
gas engine is designed for ethanol.

Yanmar, Cummins, and Perkins (the 3 brands of diesels I used
to teach technicians about) all recommend that you add a
lubricity additive to your fuel if your engine was built
before Tier 3 and ULS diesel became the norm. For our size
engines that means about 2010 (1 year later in Canada). The
service bulletins from Yanmar and Cummins (which I
unfortunately lost when the laptop’s hard drive went up in
smoke) both specifically recommend the additive from Stanadyne.

Even though my Universal M35B is a Tier 3 version, I still
add Standyne lubricity additive (although I do occasional use
a product from Lucas). It can’t hurt.

I also put BioBor JR in the fuel as an algaecide and try to
keep my tank full during winter storage. As Josh said, the
nasties live in the water in the tank and eat the diesel
(don’t get me started on bio-diesel). An algaecide and
reducing the chances of condensation in the tank are good
policy for avoiding fuel filter problems.

I’ve used about 2 tanks of fuel this year, so I’m not
concerned with the duel degrading in storage like you get
with ethanol stored in a boat. Diesel can generally be stored
for about two years without significant degradation.

Dave the OP, (lot of Dave/Davids in this post?),

Although not a 34+ owner, if you haven?t already thought about it, 
you may wish to specify that the side panels be made using clear 
material like the front of the dodger. This is how my dodger setup 
is and when the panels (removable?) are in the visibility is pretty 
good. I?m not fond of the ?dark cave? effect of many dodgers.

Am fairly happy with this dodger profile on my 33ii.   Make sure you set the 
height so that any helmsmen can see over or under the frame.  The Handrails on 
the side are very useful.  The bimini design is good, with the exception that 
you cannot see the masthead from the helm.  It keeps the rain and sun off.   
Strangely, the PO had put a window in the connector piece, between the dodger 
and bimini, which cannot be used under sail due to the cockpit traveller.  
Also, when the traveller is off to one side, and the sheets are eased, they 
foul the side of the dodger.   I have "running dodger stays" where I slack the 
one side when the situation occurs.

We like to sail with the dodger window open - better to see.  Make sure you 
canvas maker facilitates being able to fasten the window to the top of the 
dodger, rather than loosely rolled up in the opening,  blocking view.  I have a 
short winch handle that allows me to use the cabin top winches.

My latest revision to my dodger was to make the front window zip out & able to 
be completely removed--this eliminates the hassle of rolling it up.

Re: Stus-List Dodger for 34+

2015-10-14 Thread Charlie Nelson via CnC-List

My 36XL dose not have a dodger installed so if I get caught in the rain, I get 
wet. That's OK with me since I am a fair weather inshore sailor/racer anyway.

OTOH, for local deliveries or short distance cruising in the Carolina sounds in 
the summer, I often use my bimini. 
It just fits under the boom but is short of the traveler just forward of the 
binnacle so I can sail off the wind with it (although I usually don't).

It is open all around so there is not much rain protection. However, if you are 
motoring in the summer in the southeast, especially singlehanding, I consider 
it a safety
issue to be able to get under it and out of the direct sun. Even if I had a 
functioning auto-pilot, I would install the bimini. On a windless summer day 
making
7 knots under power is barely enough to avoid sunstroke--especially if you have 
no shade.

Stus-List Fitting a Solent stay

Hi there sailors,
I've eventually become the proud owner of a C&C 40 and would like to know who 
has fitted a Solent-stay and if they could share the info on how to go about 
it.It will be for cruising and used either for going up-wind with a smaller 
Genoa or a storm-jib when necessary. I would appreciate any info.
Thanks.

Congrats on the new boat. The 40 is pretty much my ideal (budget) cruising 
boat. 
Given the location of out huge anchor locker, I'm not sure you could fit a 
Solent stay on our boats.  I have seen a staysl stay fitted aft of the anchor 
locker with a chain plate down the fwd bulkhead and a storm jib hung off that. 
Frankly, I am pretty happy--even in the lightest winds--sailing with a 100% 
jib. Mind you, if the breeze is under 15 and aft of 80 degrees, I put up the 
asymmetric kite. It's easy to do singlehanded thanks to the sock.

Re: Stus-List Fitting a Solent stay

2015-10-14 Thread John Pennie via CnC-List
Not a huge fan of the solent solution.  For light air, I think you are far 
better off with a furling spinnaker, Doyle UPS, etc.  For a storm sail solution 
it really depends.  For constant use a dedicated inner forestay is preferable.  
For the cruising I did, (offshore to the BVI followed by island hopping) a 
“semi permanent” inner stay was the solution. When we knew we were going 
offshore one off us would go up the mast and install it; simple turnbuckle on 
the deck side.  For island hopping we would take it down and have all the 
benefits of a clear foredeck.

Just an opinion.

Am fairly happy with this dodger profile on my 33ii.   Make sure you set the 
height so that any helmsmen can see over or under the frame.  The Handrails on 
the side are very useful.  The bimini design is good, with the exception that 
you cannot see the masthead from the helm.  It keeps the rain and sun off.   
Strangely, the PO had put a window in the connector piece, between the dodger 
and bimini, which cannot be used under sail due to the cockpit traveller.  
Also, when the traveller is off to one side, and the sheets are eased, they 
foul the side of the dodger.   I have "running dodger stays" where I slack the 
one side when the situation occurs.

We like to sail with the dodger window open - better to see.  Make sure you 
canvas maker facilitates being able to fasten the window to the top of the 
dodger, rather than loosely rolled up in the opening,  blocking view.  I have a 
short winch handle that allows me to use the cabin top winches.

Seafoam reminds me of the Marvel Mystery Oil claims. I can't find MMO 
at Canadian tire any more, used it in the A4 (oil & gas) regularly.

Can't say as I've ever thought about it as Diesel additive, or

Hi Rick,
A friend who works on cars and has a 32 foot sailboat for 25 years 
that looks better than new, suggested I use SeaFoam in both fuel

easier, so I've been using that for the last 8 years.  I use 
Bio-Flo Jr when I top off the tank for winter.  Any thoughts on SeaFoam?

All diesel is made to the same set of standards. The red stuff 
just has a dye  in it to indicate that the highway fuel tax has not been paid.




When your engine was built, diesel fuel had 5000 parts per million 
of Sulphur content. The Sulphur was a significant factor in 
lubricating the injection pump, injectors, etc.




In the mid to late 90s, in anticipation of the Tier 2 emissions 
standards, Low Sulphur diesel became mandatory. Sulphur content 
was reduced to 500 PPM, and lubricity additives were incorporated in the fuel.




In the middle of the last decade, in anticipation of Tier 3 
emission standards, Ultra Low Sulphur diesel became mandatory. 
Sulphur content on current fuel is 15 PPM. A new Tier 3 engine is 
designed to run on ULS fuel, just like a new gas engine is 
designed for ethanol.




Yanmar, Cummins, and Perkins (the 3 brands of diesels I used to 
teach technicians about) all recommend that you add a lubricity 
additive to your fuel if your engine was built before Tier 3 and 
ULS diesel became the norm. For our size engines that means about 
2010 (1 year later in Canada). The service bulletins from Yanmar 
and Cummins (which I unfortunately lost when the laptop's hard 
drive went up in smoke) both specifically recommend the additive 
from Stanadyne.




Even though my Universal M35B is a Tier 3 version, I still add 
Standyne lubricity additive (although I do occasional use a 
product from Lucas). It can't hurt.




I also put BioBor JR in the fuel as an algaecide and try to keep 
my tank full during winter storage. As Josh said, the nasties live 
in the water in the tank and eat the diesel (don't get me started 
on bio-diesel). An algaecide and reducing the chances of 
condensation in the tank are good policy for avoiding fuel filter problems.




I've used about 2 tanks of fuel this year, so I'm not concerned 
with the duel degrading in storage like you get with ethanol 
stored in a boat. Diesel can generally be stored for about two 
years without significant degradation.

With apologies for re-raising a previously discussed topic; my 
boat is a 1985 37 with the original Yanmar 3HMF 27 hp; I went for 
my annual diesel fill up and the pumps were out of order; so I had 
to get diesel from a street gas station; although the cost was 
almost a dollar per gallon cheaper, I noted that it was the 
"green" color rather than the "red" color; so my question is do I 
need to put some type of sulpher additive or something along those 
lines into this fuel? I did motor with it for an extended time on 
Sunday with no adverse effects; in addition to this question, what 
should I use for the upcoming winter layup? many thanks
