Hi Tom, I don't have anything to add to the other comments regarding original source and alternatives. But I will point out that teflon tape is useless as a sealing medium in compression fitting applications. In pipe thread (NPT) applications the thread contact surfaces make the seal, in com

David, Base styles B C and D attach only through the toe rail. (style A is used on my friend's 1983 29 mk2, and has one hole in the deck and uses two of the hull to deck through bolts.) Which base you need depends on what cross section of toe rail you have. I converted my 76 model 38 mk2 fr

Hi Dave It should work, but another down side is that the salt water will corrode the heat exchanger coils - they aren't designed for salt water. Your hot water tank might not last too long. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 On 2015-05-27 10:10 PM, Dave via CnC-List wrote: Does anyo

Tom, I have been very successful at replacing the original gray butyl plumbing pipe with PEX. It is readily available at RV stores and uses many of the same connections. The pipe is easier to bend and seals well. Check it out. I've had several sections of the grey tubing crack and fail. PEX

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole attachment to genoa

I think it is better that the pole never clip into the clew ring of the sail. It should capture the active sheet only. Some skippers tie their bowlines bigger and clip into that, but I converted to using a soft shackle through the genoa clew that captures the luggage tag ends of the sheets, so n

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole attachment to genoa

David, I would simply run the sheet through the pole end, the angle should keep the pole pushed against the clew. Another option would be to tie the sheet to the clew with a bowline and hook the pole into the eye of the bowline. James “Delaney” C&C 38 mk2 Oriental, nc From: David Knecht via CnC-

Curtis; Basically, it is always easier to balance the boat with both main and headsail up. The 110 would probably have been about the right headsail for the conditions you describe. Boats of the generation we have – with large fore triangles, masthead rigs, and sometimes 170% genoas – were

Re: Stus-List Mast Rake on C&C 30 MK1

I would have balanced the boat with a reef and my working jib (about 110%). You would have more fun. As you know the boat is pretty stiff, but with the rudder way out in back, you will slow yourself down with weather helm. And, you should tighten up the shrouds a little. In that much wind, a cou

Re: Stus-List Speaking of Gates...

Hi Mike, I've seen other Frers 33's that detach the rear end of their lifelines to create a large "gate" into the cockpit. That would mean replacing the end fitting with a pelican hook (and presumably shortening the wire). The gate isn't then at maximum beam, but it's not bad, and you can adjust

Related to the stanchion legs for gate thread Persistence currently does not have a gate and on the stern has double rail pushpit. Two changes I am considering is adding a gate on either side and a cutout in the top rail on pushpit . Adding a gate on the side would require a base, a stanchion
