I reprinted my pedestal circa 208 or 2009 when I was replacing the idler sheaves that are mounted on the plate below the cockpit sole. I did it off the boat and my pedestal is white (so less heat to impact the paint) but I have been pleased with the result and no current indication of decay in t

I don't know anything about this boat but, I used to keep my last boat at the Swansea Marina and it is pretty close by if I can help in any way. I do have friend still at the Swansea Marina. If that is where the boat is, I bet he could find some things out about it. Please note: message attac

I am guessing they stripped the old ones with an acidic process, and it left the surface rough. I would have been better off sanding them all down instead of having them strip them. People in the plating business don't recommend black anodizing, because it does not last near as long as the natural

After doing some research on that I decide to use the Birchwood Super Black Gun Touch Up Pen. It is a paint pen specifically designed to touch-up anodizing on guns and it does a wonderful job on aluminum. I've used it on the toe rail and on the eye for the stern dock lines. I bought it on Amaz

Painted my black pedestal white using Brightside Matterhorn White in 2002. I have two small chips after all these years, but easily painted when I get around to it. Other prioities. I think any good quality paint by Interlux or even Rustoleum will work well as long as you prep the metal first

Hi David, Curious why your complaint of pointing seems focused on the rig? What is your tacking angle? It should be 90 degrees or less. Write down your compass headings on each tack next time sailing and see what angles you are actually sailing? How far from center is the helm? How many spokes

I just had mine powder coated, no issues. And the Edson instructions Steven cited say the pedestals are powder coated. So I think those fears are unfounded. Previous boat - I had the pedestal Awlgrip'd, it came out well but I chipped the damn paint while installing it. Powder coating was 1/

Might also want to note the difference in course over ground on each tack. Comparing the tacking angle (heading) vs tacking angle (course made good) may indicate show excessive leeway. That may indicate sails trimmed too much, excess heel, etc. I don't have a good feel for an acceptable leeway fo

Another option if you decide to remove the pedestal to have it painted, price a new pedestal, maybe the newer style? Just sayin. - Original Message - From: "CNC boat owners, cnc-list" To: "Frederick G Street" , "CNC boat owners, cnc-list" Sent: Monday, June 30, 2014 7:21:37 PM Su

This is a little off topic but somehow we can make this C&C related. Why do Nautor Swan sailboats cost so much money? I understand they're very well built boats however a 35-year-old Swan still costs over 20 times more than a C&C of comparable size. Blisters and all! Brent Driedger 27-5 Lake W
