Re: Stus-List Straightening Stanchions...

David, As regards Chuck’s reference to salt-fused, I can attest to the problems I ran across. All of my stanchions were virtually welded to the cast aluminum bases. I tried solvents and heat from a cutting torch to no avail. Broke one base in the process. I resorted to hack-sawing the tubes out

Re: Stus-List painting strategy for deck Interlux vs Pettit

Chuck, I’d always recommend spraying paint as opposed to rolling-and-tip but your reasons for doing the latter are quite sound. So, no recommendation to lightly sand, cover, tape and spray. I do have a strong opinion about the non-skid which you probably don’t really care about. I don’t care f

Re: Stus-List Offshore boat

Be careful what you wish for. Or better, what you actually want in a sailboat. One of my closest friends and racing buddies owned a Beneteau 40.7 and raced it extensively. Some years ago he was caught out short on the delivery back from Key West Race Week and I filled in on the leg from Beaufort

Stus-List Beta Marine 20hp

Listers, I was talking to a friend this morning. He’s out of the marina business and is getting rid of a bunch of marine items that he has lying around. I’m interested in some teak but he mentioned that he had a virtually new Beta Marine 20hp diesel for sale. I don’t have any clear details but

Stus-List Shawn's delimma

Shawn, I failed to answer one of your questions. And rather than extend the long thread, I’ll post this and then be done. Your questions was: "What do you think she would sell for today? “ I’m afraid the answer truthfully, is, nothing. “Ronin" is in bits and pieces and in varying stages of re-a

Re: Stus-List C&C as offshore boat?

Shawn, I did think about the slip costs and that is most certainly an item that can add a good bit to the monthly average. We paid for slip fees in Annapolis up until 2003 and while fees in A-town are quite expensive, the back-yard marina that we kept the boat in is owned by close friends so by

Re: Stus-List C&C as offshore boat?

Shawn, Been watching your rumination on buying that 35-II. I’ve delivered a C&C 34 from Fort Lauderdale to Port Royal, Jamaica, no stops. It was fine for that but all we had to deal with was constant headwinds for days on end. I’m flying into Ponta Delgada, Azores on May 4 to assist my friend

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Shawn, I have unbolted and set aside my keel and can offer my observations. Our boat, a 1982 C&C 37 came with and we sailed with, for many, many years, the infamous "C&C smile.” Every year when pulling the boat out, the front part of the keel/keel stub intersection would weep a bit of sea-water

Re: Stus-List Keel bolts comment/question

This was my experience when removing my keel. We had to “break it loose” when lifting the hull. Question for you Rob, my keel joint had epoxy for the keel stub/keel joint which I assumed was done by a PO when the bottom was peeled and epoxy coated. Was it actually done at the plant? Regards, D
