That looks like a fun day – videos never look as snowy, or as windy as they really were, but you can tell by the heel and that little handkerchief it was a breezy day – I hope you didn’t have to go upwind after that, because you wouldn’t have with that little bit of sail ! Bill Coleman C&C

You could try Aurora Marine's Sure Step first.  A paste wax that is supposed to restore non slip.  tried some on our old Southcoast 23.  Seemed to work pretty well.  Sold her shortly after application to buy our Redwing 35 (C&C 35-1) so I didn't get a feel for how long it lasted.  I am a fan of

Kiwi can be tinted by any paint shop...home depot, Lowe's, etc...and a few years ago kiwi would give a guarantee...happy or replace. Did my cockpit sole 5 years ago, still looks like original I think...get a handful of color cards and match yours,take kiwi to home depot and you will be happy...

I appreciate your desire to keep the original gel coat but I have had the yard do the ‘standard’ application using gel coat similar to Dennis’ suggestion.  A few years later it needed it again and I had them use Kiwi. It is now about 6 years out and it’s still good—plus it’s easy for me to apply

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Headsail only in strong winds astern

I was the one going downwind in 50+. It was actually fun and easy. We set jib behind a cliff before being exposed to the full force of the wind and the waves were having the tops ripped off by the wind, so seas were not high. The boat balanced just fine with the working jib and held a steady 10-

Re: Stus-List C&C 25 mark 1 1973 slippery non skid

The best answer is to re-new the gelcoat nonskid. Tape the are, mix colloidal silica with the gelcoat and roll it on with a honeycomb roller. https://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-HH010418-Wizard-Finishing-Honeycomb/dp/B00DDNNZEY Barring that, try surfboard wax: https://www.sexwax.com/ Dennis C. On

Re: Stus-List Headsail only in strong winds astern

I went sailing with friends recently in heavy air and the winds built to 35 to 40 on my old C&C 36. I had thought I would set a reefed main but found instead that I kept rolling the #3 up instead and never wanted for a main. The helm still felt good. Here is a quick video a friend took that day:

Stus-List physics of sailing with one sail

Hello, Can someone please explain how sailing with a single sail, either head sail or main sail, could INCREASE the load on the mast as compared to sailing with two sails? It seems to me that the more sail area, the higher the load. If you are sailing downwind with a headsail up I don't understand

Re: Stus-List Headsail only in strong winds astern

Rob, When I am out for a cruise I will use my roller furl only - upwind, reaching and downwind. A lot less hassle and i am not worried about someone losing their head to the boom or fingers to the main traveler.  The roller furl is 140% and most importantly the helm is balanced going upwind. 

Re: Stus-List Headsail only in strong winds astern

Many of our older boats have smaller, high aspect mains. Unlike newer designs, older C&C's are primarily headsail driven. For a 35-1, sail area of main = 260 sq. ft. (0.5 x P x E) Area of foretriangle = 320 sq. ft. (0.5 x I x J) Headsail areas 100% 320 sq. ft. 135% 430 sq. ft. 155% 500 sq.

Re: Stus-List Headsail only in strong winds astern

Gentlemen may not sail to weather, but a wise sailor is probably not racing when there are gale warnings out… A deep double reefed main and a small blade or storm headsail will get you to hull speed in those conditions, and greatly reduce the load on the rigging. From: CnC-List [mailto:cn

Re: Stus-List Headsail only in strong winds astern

Agree. No better way to control sailing downwind than to sail with just the headsail and no main. The helm will tell you when the boat likes the sail setup. You know it's right when you feel how easy she steers. Chuck, Resolute, 1990 C&C 34R > On March 19, 2019 at 9:37 AM "Della Barba
