Re: Stus-List Rigid Boom Vang?

If a rigid vang is in your way, potentially a Boomkicker would work better (it arches up, so it provides more room). It works, more or less the same way. Marek From: CnC-List On Behalf Of Richard Bush via CnC-List Sent: 26 June, 2019 22:44 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Richard Bush Subject: Re:

Re: Stus-List Rigid Boom Vang?

John, I have a rigid vang on my 37...no issues, except that you can't open the mid cabin Hatch open unless the boom is off center...but we don't do that very often anyway; I do not race Richard s/v Bushmark 4: 1985 C&C 37; Ohio River, Mile 584; river still high... Richard N. Bush 2950 B

Re: Stus-List Block Island's Great Salt Pond - Town Mooring or Dock Reservation?

Tom, I second Edd's comments. Go for a slip. Choice is limited - many of the slips are too shallow. When we lived in Connecticut, Block was the most fun part of our summer cruise. Rather than deal with the uncertainty of finding a mooring, we would book a "slip" at Champlin's. I use the term sli

Rick, I believe at one point I was told this would not work on Halcyon? 1982 - 37 But I would love to have the solid Vang! Maybe I need the customer bracket for clearances? John Conklin S/V Halcyon On Jun 26, 2019, at 11:02 AM, Rick Brass via CnC-List mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: +2

Re: Stus-List Block Island's Great Salt Pond - Town Mooring or Dock Reservation?

Tom, I understand that moorings can sometimes be hard to obtain, especially on a weekend. As Neil pointed out, there is no reservation system. Plus, depending on how many of your crew is coming on the cruise, they may actually prefer being dockside at a marina, with easy access to showers, sh

Tom, I've spent a few nights at Block Island for the last several years on my cruises.  The situation with the town moorings is first come/first serve, no reserving.  It reminds me of trying to find a parking spot in NYC, at 7 - 8 am you cruise around the mooring field looking for someone tak

Re: Stus-List Adding cover to line

The C&C 115 that I used to crew on had the same issue, tried smaller jaws in the clutch, which helped but not much. In the end, what worked was adding the second core to the 5' of halyard where the clutch needs to grab. On that boat, we also removed some core from the tail end of the halyard, which
