Re: Stus-List Thetis Rendezvous

Hi Lynn & Tom, You will enjoy the C&C Rendezvous, meet lots of C&C folks, tell lies, drink, eat, laugh a lot, help each other, and even learn a little, or a lot. You might end up in a dinghy race, or get tagged by kids with water balloons. There will be lots of smiles! After dinner there

Re: Stus-List [SPAM]Re: [SPAM]Re: transmissions in gear while sailing

Martin, You are correct. The folding propeller is much more sensitive to the orientation of the pin to ensure the blades fold correctly. Having a blade hanging down is probably the equivalent of dragging your foot in the water. At 5 knots, this can represent a fair amount of force. Even with ba

Re: Stus-List Sail Numbers

$125 for someone to assign you a sail number!? I'd just use my hull number and leave it at that. No club is going to reject your entry to a regatta or series because you didn't buy a number from CYA. These people are supposed to be doing all they can to make it easier to get into racing. Andy P

The charge is the same in the USA (unless you are a member of US Sailing, then the cost is only $100.00). "RE: Sail Numbers This is an application for a US Sailing sail number. It is a five digit number that we issue in sequence. There is a charge of $100 to members of US Sailing and $125 to non-m

Re: Stus-List Sail Numbers

IIRC, as this has been discussed, that's only necessary at the point you, or your fleet, decides there is an issue w/ duplicate sail numbers, or you've risen to the point that you're sailing across a wide enough geographic area that, at the level of racing you've attained, there is an issue w/ dupl

Re: Stus-List Sail Numbers

Sam; Essentially, you only need a sail number if you are planning to race the boat. I had and older main (now sold) that had a black C&C with three black stripes (sort of like a black and white version of the C&C logo) and the number 25 for the length of the boat. I thought it was nice that

Re: Stus-List Smile or sump.

You say you just purchased this boat? Has a survey pointed to any possible hard grounding? I think you need to start some exploratory surgery there to see if this crack is the result of fractured fibreglass around the sump. That type of cracking looks structural to me and no amount of lipstick a

Re: Stus-List Smile or sump.

This is my second season with this boat. I purchased from the widow of capt I raced with for 25 years. I was aware of crack but no idea how severe a problem this could be (DUH) and had to have boat due to sentimental reasons. We raced boat but not seriously since 2007. Crack developed in 2010.

Re: Stus-List Smile or sump.

St. Clair Marine, which is on the Canadian side at La Salle on the Detroit river does decent work, but they are not cheap. Repairs and storage is what they do, and they seem to do a fair bit of both. I had a look around when I was looking at an Islander 36 that was for sale there in January of 2

Re: Stus-List [SPAM] Smile or sump.

Derek, I agree with the others that this issue needs some closer examination by a professional yard to determine the extent of the cracking and the possible repair. I've had several cracks in the keep sump repaired. The glass work wasn't too expensive, compared to the keel R&R I did many year

Unless it is the new style, just pull on it and wiggle it from side to side at the same time. Think flexible plastic hose barb stuck into a pastic tube. Same as the Nicro vents which are not solar, like the ones on the top of the transom of most C&C yachts. Not sure your 37 has them, but most of
