Stus-List List of 30-1s

We own Zia, a 1975 30MK1. We keep the boat at home in Mayo Maryland and race the Wednesday night series at Pirates Cove Yacht Club on the West River. Stiff as a church, nimble and fast. Hull #346 - Zia - Joe Boyle - Annapolis, MD (Wheel, A4) Cheers - Joe ___

Stus-List Bimini top for a 30mk1

Hi Ryan, Do you have a split backstay? That will force a hole or a slit in the bimini to make it work. I can't tell from your pic - nice looking boat by the way. I also have a 30MK1 and am looking for a good bimini solution that won't get in the way while racing but provides some protection fr

Re: Stus-List Gate Valves

Hi Randy, I replaced the old gate valves on my 30-1 this winter. While trying to unscrew them, I ended up spinning the actual thru-hull so I replaced those as well. I had a devil of a time finding the replacements since on my boat #305, they were flush to the hull. I found some flush thru hulls

Stus-List best folding prop for 30 MK1 w/ A4

I received the blessing from the Admiral to equip Zia with a folding prop this season. I have been looking at our options and the Gori 2 blade geared prop 11.5 X 8 looks like it would do the job. Before I pull the trigger on this, I would like to check with the list for opinions/experiences on b

Re: Stus-List replacing cockpit drain thru hulls 30 MK1

Thanks so much for all the info Rick. I have some Groco flushmount thru hulls that will fit the hole but have a flange diameter that is smaller than the originals (whatever brand they might be). I also have the Groco ball valves that fit on the thru hulls and will work fine for the drains. The

Stus-List replacing cockpit drain thru hulls 30 MK1

I am trying to find the mfg. for the cockpit drain brass thru hulls on my 1975 30 MK1. They are flush to the bottom of the hull and have a flange diameter of 3.5 inches and a 1.25 inch hole. I have tried Groco and Perko but neither has the correct size although they both have brass flush mount ve

Stus-List Replacing through hulls on a 30 MK1

Howdy Listers, I am replacing the through hull cockpit drains on my 30 MK1. This project started with replacing the old gate valves - and it has sort of expanded (shall we say) from there. Mission creep! The flange measures 3.5 inches on the outside of the hull with a 1.25 diameter hole. The

Stus-List Folding prop for 30-1 with A4

My 1975 30-1, Zia is up for a nice Christmas gift this year - a folding prop. Any recommendations for a good folder that will still give me decent performance in forward and reverse? I don't know the current two blade prop specs but she is being pushed by a smooth running Atomic 4. Thanks for

Stus-List Mast Rake on C&C 30 MK1

Howdy listers, Last year I had my forestay replaced (for a new roller furler) and it ended up being longer than the original by maybe about 4 or 5 inches . I have adjusted the forestay all the way down but I still need plenty of backstay to keep it all tight. So now my mast rake is about 15 i

Stus-List Restoring Grip to Winches

Hi Kevin - I had the same problem with the Barient primaries on my 30 MK1. It would have cost $75 each to have then done at a shop and it would have taken weeks. So I chose the cheap alternative and it worked like a charm. I used a sharp nail punch and lightly punched a bunch of indentations in a

Stus-List Forum vs Email list = no contest - FORUM!

Cast my vote for a FORUM - An email list is akin to using smoke signals when there is a telephone available - it is needlessly cumbersome and difficult to read with all of the repetitive text. A forum would allow us to add pics and videos and organization and we would all get so much more help

Stus-List The stern squats at high speed

Hi Tom - I notice the same thing on my 30-1 - as I increase revs the stern squats. I have a two blade fixed prop on an Atomic 4. I sometimes adjust the throttle by looking over the stern rather than the speedo - kinda handy. At high revs my exhaust is completely underwater while it is a few inche

Stus-List Online Captains License or class room

I don't believe a captains license incurs any extra liability if you are a passenger on a vessel. If you are the captain - you could lose your license if the situation warranted. The quote below is from the maritime institute faq. Q: Am I liable or do I carry additional responsibility for what h

Stus-List C&C30MK1 windows and hatch replacements

Hi Curtis, Are you talking about replacing just the windows in the aluminum frames on your 30-1? I replaced the windows and splines on my 1975 30-1 last year and it was a breeze. I actually was able to use the same windows as they cleaned up very nicely with a plastic polish. It would have bee

Stus-List Sound exciter installation on a C&C 30 sailboat

Howdy all, I installed the sound exciters on my 30 MK1 after watching Ted's video. In a word, fantastic. They sound great and they are totally protected under the cockpit. No drilling or cutting needed and cheap to boot. They attach with double stick tape rings - I plan on working up a better

Stus-List Busted my trusty Streamstay 2

During a race last week one of my crew tried to muscle in the genoa furler while it was fouled in the spin halyard. Pow went the feeder extrusion. I purchased a repair kit from Rig Rite for $300 clams (ouch). Then during the 'repair' I busted off the forestay in the main bearing (double ouch).

Stus-List Advice on Window replacement on C&C 30 Mk1

Hi Rick, I replaced the seals on my 1975 30 MK1 last year. It was an absolute breeze. Got the parts from South shore yachts - just measure and order. Take out the old gaskets and clean the aluminum frames. If your windows are shot (mine were fine) just use the old windows to as a template for t
