Stus-List Atomic 4 Info

2012-10-11 Thread Glen Eddie
Hello everyone, I just want to confirm that I am not crazy. Is there an oil filter on the Atomic 4 (other than the drip pan at the bottom of course)? I can neither find one nor any reference to an oil filter in Moyer's manual. Additionally, if anyone has a symmetrical spinnaker for a C&C35 Mk

Really - before steam tugs became common it could be a major PITA to get a square rigged ship into or out of a harbor. Besides for sailing, they would tow the ships with their longboats or kedge anchor-over-anchor. Joe Della Barba -Original Message- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun.

There is no oil filter standard, there are some aftermarket filters that can be fitted to the engine; such as those offered by Indigo; details at: http://www.atomic4.com/oilfilter.html In my humble opinion that would be a waste of time as they engine has survived quite well for many decades

Sounds like you are on the right track with your sail selection. 130 is probably the best headsail size. I would have the sail made for jiffy reefing which can also be done with one line. You can always rig the hardware afer the fact. Pick a good reputable local loft. That way you can be sur

My suggestion for the main: Loose footed Combination of partial and full battens Make the second reef your "first reef". For cruising you don't need granular control of mainsail size. If you need to reef, you need the second. Think about the Tides Marine track to make raising and lowering easy.

Bev, It would be helpful if you tell us how you sail.  Mostly cruising?  Are you prone to dropping sails when the breeze gets really high?  Etc. Etc. Sail choice is always a compromise between performance, longevity, budget and other factors.  Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA >_
