Stus-List *Reminder #1* October 26, 27, 28 - 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous

2018-03-16 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
Hey folks,

This is a friendly reminder for the rendezvous deadline to register with
the Annapolis Harbor master (Beth) for a slip.  She asked that we get as
many registrations in by March 31st as possible.  It was brought to my
attention that moorings cannot be reserved. When I checked with Beth, she
confirmed that moorings are exclusively first come first served but also
said that finding a mooring shouldn't be a problem at that time of year.

Still looking for anyone interested in arranging extracurricular
activities.  Food, walking tours, swag, etc.

Josh,

I have some corporate swag that I can send - pens and collapsable nylon 
backpacks. Please let me know off-list how many you need and an address to send 
them to before April 7.

Looks like I won’t be able to attend the rendezvous due to business travel, but 
happy to help along the way. 

All the best,

Edd

Stus-List Head Replacement

2018-03-16 Thread Edd Schillay via CnC-List
Listers,

I’m looking to replace my Jabsco manual electric-conversion head on my C&C 37+ 
to a better electric one. While Jabsco makes a “Lite” version which has the 
same mounting holes and same connections as the one I’m replacing, I’d like to 
consider other manufacturers as well. 

Has anyone done this? How did you mount it to the floor? There is no access 
underneath there. Any insights welcome to help me save costs and avoid a, 
pardon the pun, crappy job. 

All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update

2018-03-16 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
Thought y'all might want an update on my whisker pole mast chock mount.

I initially was trying to find a carpenter or wood worker with bandsaw or
scroll saw and a spindle sander that might have been able to make this
piece quickly and easily.  I was having a hard time articulating to people
exactly what I envisioned so I attempted to draw an example in 3D on
SketchUP.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=124KvsCtLJo2a8On7C41z0oSFVj0iHb-l

I ended up taking my plan to a machinist who advised that he did not like
the idea of using starboard or layering pieces together.  He suggested
solid PTFE (Teflon).  With his confidence and knowledge of materials I
accepted his advice and agreed to have him make it.  By the end of the week
he contacted me and said that it was done.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yylCrDkRVBWhbmGsrh4ZdtouE-jUpLLb

I was extremely disappointed by the final outcome.  It was not as I had
designed and worse he made it out of white and then painted it.  I'm
concerned that any abrasion or hard impact will cause the paint to come off
reveling the dingy off-white base color.  He explained his own frustration
with the PTFE material, told me how he had spent upwards of 2 full days (16
hours @ $55) machining but was only charging for 1 day.  He even discounted
more than that for a total of $400.  $400!!!  I have enjoyed a good working
relationship with this machinist for some time now and he lives quite close
so... not wanting to destroy our relationship I begrudgingly pay him, but
not without first explaining my frustration.

I went home with a renewed motivation to make my own.  Borrowed a band saw
and bought a spindle sander.  The ~$100 Skill bandsaw is an absolute POS.
It was what I had available and fortunately was able to make due.  For
anyone in the market for a bandsaw, I would recommend avoiding it at all
costs.

http://a.co/9YKFSjf

As for the spindle/drum sander, it was absolutely awesome!  I can't say
enough about how well it worked.  I have never heard of the company WEN
before and was quite sceptical but since Amazon is an easy return, I didn't
really have much to fear.  Now I'm thinking that the WEN drill press is
next on my wish list.

http://a.co/0W0W8lY

The mounting bolts go through the top and bottom layers of the 5 layer
sandwich, the curvature of the mast holds each layer on centerline, and the
chock holds pressure on each of the five layers keeping them tight against
the mast.  There is no structural need to bond the layers together.  The
whole thing turned out quite to my satisfaction which really just added
salt to the wound of having had the other piece made by the machinist.
Here's the final product installed.

Re: Stus-List Head Replacement

2018-03-16 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
I love my vacu-flush - that is, at least as much as an individual could
love a biological wasts receptical.  The PO installed it so I can't tell
you much about the challenges of installation.  What I CAN tell you is that
each flush is ~1 pint of fresh water meaning that the ~20 gallon holding
tank is good for ~150 flushes.

Many people live by the mantra that if it didn't come out of you then it
doesn't go in the head.  I've never had to follow that guidance and I've
never, ever had the head become clogged.  I've had conventional toilets
become clogged more often than the one on my boat though I'm not sure
feminine hygiene products would make it.  It flushes with water from your
freshwater tank so it does increase freshwater usage but the trade off is
that the head doesn't smell and you can go considerably longer between
pump-outs.  If you exceed 3 miles from shore I believe you can pump
overboard which is why the PO also installed a masserator pump.  My y-valve
no longer exists - just a thru-hull valve for the masserator pump
discharge.  There is a good amount of argument regarding the need to
restrain the handle but it seems the answer lies in the fact that 2 actions
are required to discharge overboard.  Open the valve AND operate the
masserator pump switch.  I've been voluntarily and unvoluntarily inspected
with no issue noted regarding the lack of a restraint on my thru-hull.

Edd, 
More than likely its hollow under the head platform. What I have done on 
several boats is to tap the fiberglass for a 1/4-20 thread. I always prefer to 
tap instead using a coarse threaded sheet metal or wood type screw. Holds 
better with much less gelcoat chipping. I have used the Jabsco "Quiet Flush" 
heads with no problems for 10 years now.

Several years ago, I replaced the original W/C Head Mate with a Jabsco
Manual head. I'm happy with the product. I chose Jabsco in part because
several charters I have taken in the BVI, all the heads, both manual and
electric were Jabsco's. An earlier posting on this site suggested the
charter companies choice was directed by price. But I like to think that
serviceability is a key element to Jabscos being used. It is one aspect of
a charter which the company does not want to have to fix regularly or deal
with customer complaints. Plus parts are available on Amazon.

Re: Stus-List Head Replacement

2018-03-16 Thread Andrew Burton via CnC-List
On the new boat I have a new Jabsco Twist and Lock manual head going in
forward, and a Techma Easy fit electric head going in the aft head. It will
be set up to flush with either fresh or--when offshore--salt water. These
came well recommended by a pal who's an expert in that field.

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update

2018-03-16 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List
Thanks Ken!  I used black starboard.  1" thick.  12"x12" pieces are
available from McMaster-Carr for about $35.  Knowing that ultimately my
starting size would need to be roughly 5"x5"x2", I decided that a
12"x12"x1" piece was going to be the smallest usable and available size.

https://www.mcmaster.com/#9785T412

I started by cutting 5 pieces 6"x2" and stacked then together for a total
of 5x6x2.  I clamped them, applied masking tape, and traced the chock.  For
ease of managing them in the saw I cut the tape so that each layer could be
separated.  Used the saw to cut each piece a bit proud of the trace.  I
then reassembled (re-stacked) and finished the sides on the drum sander.  I
now had a 2" thick block that followed the footprint of the chock.

I carefully marked centerline before separating each layer again.  This
time I masked each layer on it's "inside" face - the face which originally
measured 6"x2".  On this face I carefully measured and traced the template
of the curvature of the mast on to the tape.  I then returned to the
bandsaw and cutout the curvature of the mast, again proud of the template.
Now back to the sander.  I started with the largest piece and was careful
to regularly check the fit to my template.  Once I had the first one done,
each of the successive pieces was checked to the template and to its
neighbors so that a smooth and even fit was accomplished.

A feather edge of flashing was left after all of this sanding so I
re-clamped and assembled the pieces and used the sander to dress everything
up.

Josh

Stus-List Materials for a hard bimini?

2018-03-16 Thread Joel Aronson via CnC-List
I'm going to try to build a hard bimini.  The plan is to trace the shape of
the frame onto pieces of 2x6, cut them to shape and then screw a piece of
cheap plywood to the 2x6s to have the right shape.  I'm looking for
something flexible that will give the underside a nice smooth finish than
can be expoyed to fiberglass and painted.  The rest will be glass mat, foam
core, epoxy, more mat etc.  I know I could just add more epoxy and sand it,
but I rather avoid all that labor.

Any suggestions on materials for the finished underside?

Joel, did you think about just using King Starboard for the entire project?

I had my dodger made by a company who used 1/2 thick starboard.  They
plastic welded a track for the canvas sides and windows.  Someone was
recently posting about a similar company who IIRC was quoting $1500 for a
bimini.

Hi Joel

I tried that a few years ago with my dodger.  I used the old frame for the 
shape and FRP from Home Depot.  Tried laminating two pieces of FRP together.  
It wasn’t rigid enough.  Also someone told me they are made with polyester 
resin not epoxy.  

If you google hard dodger I’m sure there will be lots of sites showing what has 
been done.

Good luck keep us posted.

Re: Stus-List Head Replacement

Wisdom aside (perhaps literally), I went with a fancy Planus push-button model 
that received high ratings from Practical Sailor a few years ago.  A little 
pricey, but the ladies like the ease of operation.  I haven’t figured out what 
I’ll do if the unit malfunctions while at sea, but fortunately this hasn’t 
happened (four years and counting).  It requires a remarkably large electric 
service line as it draws something like 60 amps for a split second when you 
push the button.  It is mounted on the same platform that came with the boat, 
which does not provide a lot of space (but is much better than the 34).

There’s a West System product (not the regular epoxy) that I used to bond 
starboard to wood due to its high adhesive strength for plastic.  I think it’s 
called G-Flex or something.  There’s a prep procedure which includes lightly 
torching the surface of the plastic.  I made a shelf for the cockpit that has 
held up for two seasons without any signs of an issue.

Stus-List Resleeving winches

2018-03-16 Thread mike amirault via CnC-List
My Barient 27's are developing a lot of play.  The aluminum drums wearing
badly (the inside, not the outside).

The rest of the winches are in great shape, gears, bearings, pawls.  I was
wondering if anyone on the group has ever tried having a machine shop bore
out the interior of the drum to accept a sleeve of aluminum or oilite
bronze. I contacted Hutton Winches in Australia and they told me they do
this service for $400/drum. Obviously, shipping 2 large winches to Australia
and back would be out of the question.  

Anyone had this done at a local machine shop?

a 3/4 oz. Dacron Cover (10'4 Wide X 16' Long) that fits from the mast to

Re: Stus-List Resleeving winches

Mike, 

 

Are you sure that the problem is the inner bore of the drum wallowing out? I 
would think the caged roller bearings between the drum and the central shaft of 
the winch would be a more likely item to wear… particularly if you have the 
generation of winch that had synthetic roller bearings instead of bronze, or if 
the PO did not service the winches properly and dirt got into the bearings.

Re: Stus-List Resleeving winches

2018-03-16 Thread Dennis C. via CnC-List
I had issues with my alloy Barlows and Barients.

Issue 1 - the pawl receptacle was wallowing out.  That caused the pawls to
stick or to partially exit the receptacle.  Bad!  I took them to a
machinist who was interested in all things boating.  He declined to touch
them.  He could have filled the rebored the pawl holes.

Issue 2 - I had some teeth break off the inside of the drum.  I took the
drum to a machine shop where they filled then recut the teeth.  $200.

My ultimate solution was to replace ALL 6 of the alloy winches with chrome
bronze and stainless winches off eBay and Craiglist List.  2 stainless
Barient 22's, 2 chrome Barlow 28's and 2 chrome Barlow 26's for $1100 total
plus  some shipping.

In my opinion, alloy winches have a limited service life.  I would check
eBay often to upgrade to chrome bronze or stainless.  Chrome and stainless
winches look great and improve the "pier appeal" of your boat.

To search Craigslist and local classifieds, use claz.org or yakaz.com.

Re: Stus-List Materials for a hard bimini?

2018-03-16 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
Joel,

 

FWIW, after the recent discussion started by Bruce Whitmore (IIRC) about a hard 
dodger for his 37/40, I contacted Hard to Top (www.hardtotop.com 
 ) about a hard dodger for my 38. The quote for a 90” 
x 46” hard dodger with height and shape specific to my boat, with track on 3 
sides for canvas panels, a stainless frame, and shipping from Florida to North 
Carolina was just over $1000. The hard top is poly carbonate. My quote included 
an aluminum edge around the hard top. Delivery in 2 to 3 weeks. And the dodger 
is warranted for 10 years.  I was really surprised at how low the price was.

 

In looking at the website, it appears that he company builds a lot more bimini 
tops than dodgers.

 

Have you considered that option?

I'm going to try to build a hard bimini.  The plan is to trace the shape of the 
frame onto pieces of 2x6, cut them to shape and then screw a piece of cheap 
plywood to the 2x6s to have the right shape.  I'm looking for something 
flexible that will give the underside a nice smooth finish than can be expoyed 
to fiberglass and painted.  The rest will be glass mat, foam core, epoxy, more 
mat etc.  I know I could just add more epoxy and sand it, but I rather avoid 
all that labor.

 

Any suggestions on materials for the finished underside?

Home Depot sells a fiberglass sheet 4' x 8' and you could use that to make the 
finished side. It's less than 1/8" thick so you can bend it pretty easy. Comes 
in White or Ivory. There are Youtube videos that show some results.

Meant to add, the Home Depot sheeting is smooth on one side and pebbled on the 
other and you don't have to paint it.

I had issues with my alloy Barlows and Barients. 

 

Issue 1 - the pawl receptacle was wallowing out.  That caused the pawls to 
stick or to partially exit the receptacle.  Bad!  I took them to a machinist 
who was interested in all things boating.  He declined to touch them.  He could 
have filled the rebored the pawl holes.

 

Issue 2 - I had some teeth break off the inside of the drum.  I took the drum 
to a machine shop where they filled then recut the teeth.  $200.

 

My ultimate solution was to replace ALL 6 of the alloy winches with chrome 
bronze and stainless winches off eBay and Craiglist List.  2 stainless Barient 
22's, 2 chrome Barlow 28's and 2 chrome Barlow 26's for $1100 total plus  some 
shipping.

 

In my opinion, alloy winches have a limited service life.  I would check eBay 
often to upgrade to chrome bronze or stainless.  Chrome and stainless winches 
look great and improve the "pier appeal" of your boat.

 

To search Craigslist and local classifieds, use claz.org   or 
yakaz.com  .

Yes, I am sure the issue is with the inner bore of the drum wearing out.
What the PO might have done is unknown but the bearings are stainless.
Hutton winches advises me they should be delrin.

Stus-List Toe rail wick - Version 3.1.1a.2

2018-03-16 Thread Dennis C. via CnC-List
OK, guys and gals, I threw together a new design toe rail wick.

Why?  Because apparently the wind blew away the old ones so I needed to
make new ones anyway.

I cut 3 short pieces of cotton lamp wick and stitched them together across
the top of a another long piece of wick to form a T shape.  The 3 pieces
ensure that the wick assembly makes good contact with the deck making up
for the thickness of the toe rail.  The T shape hopefully will keep the
darn thing from getting blown away.  See pics here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mWEXOwExu8Z8H5Mp6qtXIhJ-ST1Q-a_w

I foresee the next design having the C&C logo.  NOT!
