Re: Stus-List Rod rigging

The advantages of rod over wire are slightly smaller diameter than conventional wire of the same strength (thus slightly less wind resistance) and probably a small percentage less weight. I doubt that you would see a significant performance improvement on a 35-1, but if you’re racing against oth

Re: Stus-List Bad engine?

The engine is definitely not a loss and as others have said is most likely a blown head gasket. Aside from the labor you can probably get the gasket kit for ~$100. You'll have other incidentals and parts/tool costs but for less than $1000 you'll be back on the water. For that $1000 I suggest tha

Re: Stus-List Rod rigging

There is no such thing as "too strong". The only downside is availability, availability of repair parts, difficulty of repair (particularly underway or in foreign ports), inability to inspect or predict failure, special (expensive) tension gauge, and added cost. The upsides include reduced windag

It was for performance. I have wire and am getting it inspected in the spring. Just wanted to know if anyone had changed to Rod Rigging for racing. From: Russ & Melody via CnC-List Sent: Friday, October 13, 2017 9:51 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Reply To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Russ & Melody S

Re: Stus-List Rod rigging

I'm kinda with Russ, why do you want to do that? Touche' has a rod backstay but I can't think of any good reason why unless it was because the boat came with a Head Seafoil (essentially a rod extrusion). I have since replaced it with a wire forestay. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On

Re: Stus-List Rod rigging

Hi Glen, I don't recall this discussion happening yet. So, are you looking at a change from wire to rod as performance increase or reliability aspect? As for your question, rod will not be too strong for the chainplates. In designing rigs the terminations tend to be the stronger parts of t

In the DFW area that boat would sell for about $9,000 however it would not be in that good condition. Frank On Thursday, October 12, 2017 11:48 PM, Randy Stafford via CnC-List wrote: Here’s a nice-looking 1973 30-1 for sale in Washington state: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1973/C%2

I am sure this issue has been discussed ad nauseum, but does anyone know whether Rod Rigging for a C&C35 MK I has any downside. Specifically will it be too strong for the chain plates. Regards Freya IV Glen Eddie Tel: 416-777-5357 Fax: 1-888-812-2557 ged...@to

Classic bad head gasket symptoms. If it didn't run long on overheat then no big deal. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 04:27 PM 13/10/2017, you wrote: A friend has a Catalina 36 with the Universal 25 engine that overheated, and now won't start. 1. Excessive blowby 2. Smoke in c

A friend has a Catalina 36 with the Universal 25 engine that overheated, and now won't start. 1. Excessive blowby 2. Smoke in coolant tank3. Oil level is 2 inches above full mark.     Oil just changed just after overheated. 4. New heat exchanger just replaced. After overheating, coolant was full

So I have a Series 41 Aqua Signal Bow light. Dont ask me how but the bolt that keeps it all together deep sixed. No problem, I said as it went in, I can get another one from Aqua Signal. Three emails. No response. So I have been trying to find a 3 1/4" long # 4 bolt. Seems like a holy G
