Stus-List wind instrument

Hi, I am starting to think about adding the wind instrument to the boat. The main reason is for being able to feed the data (wind direction) to the EV-100 autopilot. I have a SeatalkNG network on the boat. I don't have a Raymarine MFC, though (I have a small Garmin chartplotter, instead). I a

I am with Dwight on that. Any handicap system can be abused, mined, rigged, games etc. If you are having fun doing it, you are already a winner. I don't participate in sailboat racing lately, but I race intensively somewhere else (alpine skiing). The handicapping works only so well. But you can

Stus-List surveyor around Ottawa, ON

Hi, I will need to have an insurance survey done before the next season. Would anyone have a recommendation for a surveyor in the Ottawa, ON area? Thanks Marek 1994 C270 Legato Ottawa ON Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved. If you wa

Dennis, Good to hear that you are doing reasonably fine. I am not surprised with the communications – text is using about 10% or less of capacity needed for voice; data (LTE) is a completely different cattle of fish. To me, so far up north, it is hard to imagine the weather events that you have

You mentioned that you don’t want to use the spider spray, but this one (Bug-Tek) is less toxic and does not hurt the environment that much. And it is pretty effective. I use it to spray the dock lines - if they cannot get through the lines, they have to swim to the boat or fly (I know some can

Stus-List Re: Another Solar question

I have a simple question - the fuse is there to protect the wire; so, the fuse should be as close to the solar panel as possible, shouldn't it? Where would you put it? Outside, next to the panel? Or inside, as soon as the wire goes through the deck? I bet there are some rules of thumb. Thanks

Stus-List Re: Bruce anchors again - and chain

I would say that, generally, you should have the biggest (the best holding) anchor you can afford (and this includes both your wallet and back capacity). However, an option might be to use a much smaller anchor for your day-to-day use (a better “lunch hook”) and have the “good one” available for

I had very mixed experience with uship.com. The first bidder was a crook and took the down payment and disappeared. The second (the one who actually moved the boat) was really great. I would gladly recommend him, but he cannot move anything that big (I think 28' was his limit). So, be careful o
