Re: Stus-List C&C Lister Roll Call

[John and Maryann Read via CnC-List]

Hi Edd

 

Many thanks for doing this but some thoughts to consider:

1)  Wouldn’t Stu have much of this info in his list?

2)  How do we include listers who are not active at this time or choose not 
to respond to or do not see this request?

3)  If Stu should (horrors) decide to retire, couldn’t another person just 
take over the list, be the administrator and leave its data etc intact?

 

Just a thought and in any event a HUGE THANK YOU TO STU for all his work these 
many years

Re: Stus-List NMEA 0183 - Do I really need an Opto-Islator?

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

Interesting idea. I was also an IT guy (retired), but prefer to keep things
simple and manageable.

I'm not familiar with the WP30 (is there an earlier thread on this?), but I
also have an older autopilot controller, a ComNav 1420, currently driving a
Raymarine wheel pilot motor. I don't have any other electronics (have used
Navionics so far), but will need to get radar and a chartplotter soon for a
planned trip to Haida Gwai and around Vancouver Island. I don't use the AP
much, usually in calm weather motoring only, as the drive motor/belt system
is pretty weak. The ComNav 1420 does support NEMA 0183, so it might be
worth keeping.

What I'd really like to find is a more open system like Maretron with a
SI-Tex TCP/IP radar, but I understand those radomes are no longer made. I'm
not a fan of spending $$$ on vendor locked in electronics with a limited
lifespan. This SV Delos video on YT shows a very nice system that allows
for managing all functions from a tablet or PC, which appeals to me, but I
haven't located a source for a network radar at a reasonable cost yet:

Re: Stus-List NMEA 0183 - Do I really need an Opto-Islator? now WP30

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

The Navico WP30 hasn't been made in 15 years or so.  It is/was an excellent
wheel pilot for boats under 15,000 lbs or so.  Wish they still made them.

The big advantage of the WP30 is that it is a self contained unit.  The
compass was built into the unit mounted on the pedestal.  It did not
require an external compass.  In its simplest form, all you had to do was
supply 12 vdc power and press one button and it was steering to course.
Add NMEA 0183 input and it steers to wind and waypoint.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOopONhR-uQ

In my opinion, the algorithms it used to steer were superior to other wheel
pilots.  It compensated well for sea state, etc. and did not require rudder
position indicator data.

I've logged many, many miles on Touche' with the WP30 and still love it.
So much so that I bought a second unit off eBay for a spare.

Used it this week in steer to course, steer to waypoint and steer to wind
mode.  Worked great.

Listers,

In my spare time, I?m going to start working on an email list / bulletin
board / photo archive / information center website for C&C Owners, that will
act as a supplement and perhaps one day, only when Stu says he?s no longer
interested in continuing on, act as a replacement to the service we are
using now.

I?d like to start compiling a database of C&C Owners. When you have a
moment, please respond to this email (either to the whole list or by direct
email to me) with the following information:

Name / Boat name / C&C Model / C&C Year / Sail number / Email Address / Home
Port

For example:
Edd Schillay / Starship Enterprise / C&C 37/40+ / 1990 / NCC-1701-B /
e...@schillay.com  / Venice Island, FL

Thanks to all. 

And for those of you up north who are reviewing/signing their winter
haul-out and storage contracts, I can now say, ?Nah, Nah. Na-Na Nah!"

All the best,

Edd
