Re: Stus-List C&C 32 Mainsheet Traveler Location

[John Russo via CnC-List]

Neil,

 

Take a look at picture titled View Without Dodger in projects 2011 Thumbnails 
and Starboard and Port Winches and Jam Cleats and click on the photos a couple 
of times to expand them. Cleat is Harken X-Treme Angle Fairlead #459 mounted on 
 a #295 Riser. Although I can handle tacking from the helm Single handed I do 
either lock the helm or use Autopilot to go to the companionway to make final 
trims on the main using Solid Vang and mainsheet if necessary. This year I have 
added a wireless remote auto helm control to facilitate pulling in the main 
sheet for controlled jibing.

 

John

Neil and John,

 

Thanks to both of you for your responses.

 

I might need some visuals to understand the set-ups that you use.  And please 
forgive my ignorance as I am a relatively new sailor.

 

Neil, you said that you use a single line for the traveler with a loop.  John, 
you said that you use two ends of the same line back to the helm.

 

Mine has the main sheet with a block and tackle attached to the boom.  Then 
there are lines at each end of the traveler that use cam cleats that must be 
loosened to allow the traveler to move laterally.  How do I manage all three 
lines from the binnacle?

 

John, thanks for the info on your website.  That is quite an impressive array 
of projects that you have completed through the years.  I'm not sure what year 
you were referring to for the cam cleats with the extended loop.

John,

 

I did mine the same as you, but never cut the line in two.  It lets me loop it 
over the binnacle which works great for us.  A neighbor told us about the 
approach and I figured I could always cut the line to make 2 lines if needed

Leave the traveler where it is. It's a great place.  We used a single line for 
the traveler such that the loop came all the way back to the binnacle.  Kind of 
like reins for s horse.  Works great.

Hello everyone,

 

I want to set up my 32 to be able to single-hand.  Currently, the traveler is 
on the coach roof and my wingspan is not large enough to reach the helm and the 
mainsheet at the same time

 

I'm wondering if any other 32 owners have set their boats up to single-hand and 
what solutions you've come up with.  The most obvious solution seems to be to 
move the traveler directly in front of the binnacle a la the 30, but the 
t-shaped cockpit seems to pose a challenge for that location.   My current 
Harken traveler is 4 feet long.  I measured the space between the cockpit 
settes below the seat lids at under 3 feet.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Graham

John,
Thank you for directing me to those specific pictures.  The visual was very 
helpful and I see the solution you used.
With all the great projects you have completed through the years, it would have 
been like finding a needle in a thumbnail picture haystack!! 
Thanks again,
Graham

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Mystery

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

You can hotwire the pump to test it's function.  As I believe Fred
indicated, to wires for the motor and to for the engage/disengage
solenoid.

Without power applied the drive is in "standby" and the arm should move in
and out without much resistance.  When the solenoid is engaged the drive
should be locked.

The motor should run forward or reverse when power is applied.  You MAY
need to make up an interlock by simultaneously energizing the solenoid.
You want to be careful not to drive the motor into the stops, there are no
interlocks, safeties or limits to protect the system.

John,
Cool.  We did the same thing except my "loop" doesn't run wide but can fall 
into the companion way if I don't have it looped over the binnacle.  The 
approach that we are using is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone I give a 
tour to.

Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 32 Mainsheet Traveler Location Neil and John, Thanks 
to both of you for your responses. I might need some visuals to understand the 
set-ups that you use.  And please forgive my ignorance as I am a relatively new 
sailor. Neil, you said that you use a single line for the traveler with a loop. 
 John, you said that you use two ends of the same line back to the helm. Mine 
has the main sheet with a block and tackle attached to the boom.  Then there 
are lines at each end of the traveler that use cam cleats that must be loosened 
to allow the traveler to move laterally.  How do I manage all three lines from 
the binnacle? John, thanks for the info on your website.  That is quite an 
impressive array of projects that you have completed through the years.  I'm 
not sure what year you were referring to for the cam cleats with the extended 
loop.  On Saturday, July 2, 2016 9:52 PM, Neil Andersen via CnC-List 
 wrote: John, I did mine the same as you, but never cut 
the line in two.  It lets me loop it over the binnacle which works great for 
us.  A neighbor told us about the approach and I figured I could always cut the 
line to make 2 lines if needed   NeilFoxFire1982 C&C 32Wort on C

Stus-List C&C 32 Mainsheet Traveler Location

Graham:

I changed the original main sheet setup on my boat to be able to trim 
the main from behind the binnacle.  I don't have a picture but am going 
to the boat this pm and will take some.


The original setup required the the main sheet to be cleated on the port 
side cabin top.not convenient for the helmsman to trim.   I tossed 
the original setup and constructed a new one whereby the main sheet can 
be brought back to the helmsman and trimmed with little effort on the 
cabin top traveler.  There is no need to move the traveler.


I left the traveler lines the same..they can be brought back to the 
helmsman.no need to change them but if there is a better way, I am 
interested.

Hello everyone,

I want to set up my 32 to be able to single-hand.  Currently, the 
traveler is on the coach roof and my wingspan is not large enough to 
reach the helm and the mainsheet at the same time


I'm wondering if any other 32 owners have set their boats up to 
single-hand and what solutions you've come up with.  The most obvious 
solution seems to be to move the traveler directly in front of the 
binnacle a la the 30, but the t-shaped cockpit seems to pose a 
challenge for that location.   My current Harken traveler is 4 feet 
long.  I measured the space between the cockpit settes below the seat 
lids at under 3 feet.  Any ideas?


Thanks,

Graham
