Hey folks, I pulled my mast for rebuild and upgrades, and while it is out, the step is being rebuilt. I removed the stringers today and as suggested before, while putting it all back together, I will retighten the keel bolts. The bilge is still black and full of grunge, but one thing I've wonder

Stus-List Mast Wire Question

2019-03-10 Thread Steven A. Demore via CnC-List
I have the mast of my C&C 30 MK1 down for rebuild right now. Just replaced the wiring and found a cable I'm not sure about. It is a heavy gauge stranded single conductor wire, maybe 1/8 or 3/16, with a thick red insulation on it. If I had to guess, a heavy ground wire. There is about 20 feet of

I’m curious to see the responses as well. Last year was my first with ablative bottom paint and I used TotalBoat Underdog. Great reviews, but my experience in the Chesapeake Bay was that I had to be hauled and pressure washed by late summer, because I couldn’t get the engine above an idle. T

Re: Stus-List Epoxy or not.

Another 2 cents.  I would use penetrating epoxy on them.  It soaks into the wood and seals everything (not to mention looks exceptional).  Since the epoxy isn't UV protected, cover it with 3 or 4 coats of varnish.  You may have to clean and reapply the varnish as usual, but the penetrating epoxy wi

I had my C&C 30 MK1 dismasted yesterday to do some work on it. The boat came with no wedges in the deck collar, so I made some one day, just to get through summer. While taking down the mast yesterday, I asked the rigger what kind of wedges it should have. He said he wasn't sure whether C&Cs cam

When I made my new lifelines last year, I bought a crimping tool at Bacon Sails. It was a little metal block with holes for 4 sizes of crimps, with a bolt on each end that gets tightened down to make the crimp. It cost about $35 and was handy as can be. Steve Demore S/V Doin’ It Right C&C

Mine is also a 1973 and I assume the last 3 numbers of the serial number is the hull number. If so, mine is hull 155. Steve -Original Message- From: Stu [mailto:s...@cncphotoalbum.com] Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2017 5:40 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List C&C 30 Accordin
