Re: Stus-List Anchor Size

Joe, for what you describe you are planning on doing, that anchor should do just fine. If you think you may be possibly caught needing more secure footing, there are several recently introduced anchors that may serve you better; Rocna etc, but at considerably more cost. As others are pointing ou

Re: Stus-List Anchor Size

Hi Joe, The 35 lb'der will be okay as a "lunch hook", occasional, or whatever you want to call. It can even be considered big for that service. Serious cruising where you have many more nights/year on the hook and very little discretion on when to stay overnight at anchor means a minimum 45#

Re: Stus-List Anchor Size

I used a 35-lb CQR on my LF38 for many years on the Chesapeake Bay with only 10 feet of chain. It was fine except in real bad blows. I have since changed to a 45-lb Bruce and will be adding a 45-lb Rocna as I prepare for long-distance cruising in sand bottoms--both anchors with 35 feet of chai

There's no rush. It's an annoyance only. I have a tiller tamer that takes care of the nighttime noise. It's those windless Wednesday nights following a gusty day where the lake takes a while to settle down. With no pressure against the rudder it flops around and bugs me. I've got larger issues t

Re: Stus-List Anchor Size

Joe, The general rule of thumb with anchors is one pound per foot (length of yacht). However, that's just a guide. If your boat is heavier than average boats of 38 feet, take the next size up. Shouldn't be, in your case. The same rule (get the next size up) applies if you have a lot of windage

Re: Stus-List MkV Pintle and Gudgeons

One old trick for tightening a bushing on a shaft is to centre punch the bushing (gudgeon) around the shaft (pintle) hole. That will spread the metal around the shaft enough to remove minor slop. It’s not the best way to fix a problem but will work for a while until you can do a permanent repair

Re: Stus-List Anchor Size

What brand of anchor are you looking at? Holding power varies widely between brands. If an original CQR, I'd say it's too light; if it's a Delta, I'd say it would be fine. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 31 May 2015 at 18:53, Joseph Scott via CnC-List wrote: > Hello, > >

Sounds like my '73 25 Mk1 has a similar setup to your 27 Mk 5. The upper gudgeon casting is a single and the lower gudgeon casting is a double. On the 25 there is a single hinge rod, half-inch diameter, which passes through both gudgeons. I had a similar clunk in my rudder whenever I was on

Re: Stus-List New Electrical System is Installed -- ThankYouListers!

keep in mind that all electronics work on smoke – you let the smoke out and they stop working. The only solution is to replace the part (assuming that the new one has enough smoke inside) or to capture the released smoke and stuff it back into the device. But that last option is not that easy.

Ordinary automotive heater hose will work fine, and it will last about as long as it does in a car, which is quite a while. Most of us don't drive around in 30 year old cars, but we do sail around in 30 year old boats, so the fact that the original hoses are getting tired shouldn't deter us from
