The electronic flares that flash SOS are acceptable replacements. You don't have to carry pyrotechnic flares if you have an electronic one. You do need a daytime signal such as a flag, since the laser flares are difficult to see during the day. Alan On Tue, Mar 29, 2022 at 6:25 AM CHARLES SCHEAF

Stus-List Re: 35-3 Bimini question

I had mine made by a local canvas maker. They used three bows. Another panel zips between the bimini and the dodger. The panel has a plastic window so that I can see the shape of the mainsail. It has a Sunbrella cover that protects the window, and keeps the sun off when needed. Alan Bergen 35 Mk

Stus-List Re: C&C 33-II vs 35-II

I don't know how the Mk II compares with the Mk III, but when I raced with a #3 (105%) genoa, I pointed five degrees higher than most boats in our PHRF fleet. Any small loss in speed was more than made up for by the better pointing angle. I was frequently first to the weather mark. Alan Bergen 35

Stus-List Re: Main halyard shackle

I don't have snap shackles on my main or on my furling genoa. Both sails' halyards are attached with shackles that have pins that screw in. The pins have never come loose. I have snap shackles on my spinnaker halyards, and more than once they have come undone when raising the spinnaker in heavy win

One way to keep the extraction hose straight is to insert a wire coat hanger in it. Make it long enough so that if it slips out of the hose, you will be able to retrieve it. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 10:17 AM Jim Watts via CnC-List < cnc-list

Does anyone on the list really sail with paid crew?

They felt one hundred wasn't eno
