Re: Stus-List Wire or rope halyard

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have decided to replace my wire-to-rope halyard with 3/8 Samson MLX (doublebraid cover over Dyneema core). Now my only question is whether to strip to the core for the "wire section" of the new halyard. For me, there is still the sheave question. Several of you

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 136, Issue 65

Thanks, Josh, but I'm 95% sure the sheave on my 1980 LF38 is only for wire. My telephoto shot of the wire in the sheave shows the total sheave width at the lip is slightly less than twice the width of the 3/16 wire passing through it, so I'm pretty sure a 7/16 rope in that space would either jam up

Stus-List Messenger line to wire halyard

Hi, experts! It's time to replace my main halyard on my LF38. The original is wire-to-rope, and I plan to replace with the same (3/16 7X19 wire, 7/16 doublebraid). I have noted that the halyard sheave at the masthead is quite small and narrow - for wire only - meaning the halyard could jam if the r

Stus-List Subject: Re: Holding Tank for LF 38

Adrian, I have a 1980 LF 38 whose holding tank is still good (knock on wood), but another one in my boat yard failed a few years ago and that owner told me he replaced it without too much trouble with a Ronco B145 tank that he said fits well in the space. See: http://ronco-plastics.net/newRonco/p

Stus-List LF 38 stemhead casting vs forestay attachment

The question about the 37 stemcast casting replacement reminded me about an issue on my 1980 Landfall 38 that has nagged at me (or terrified me, depending on my mood). My casting has some possibly serious cracks in it, mostly likely originating in stresses placed by a the mooring line over the bow

Re: Stus-List cockpit drains freezing

Here's my sad story of a cockpit drain hose freezing 11 years ago, the first winter in New England after I bought my Landfall 38. I had it "professionally" shrinkwrapped and asked the wrappers not to go too before below the toe rail because I'd heard the film could stick to the Awlgrip hull paint.
