TAZ is a 35-3 owned by some good friends. She is out of Noank, CT and Cutty is one of their favorite spots. I do not think they subscribe to this list, but they are sociable types so row over and say hi John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-li

Re: Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

Speaking of preventers and jibing, I am wondering what is the recommended way to correctly jibe a 30-40’ boat in decent winds? How far do you sheet in the main before/during jibing? Anything else to decrease the shock to the traveller in strong winds? As to the preventer, do you simply releas

Re: Stus-List Yanmar Gear Box Mislabeled

Martin, The Yanmar shop manual says that the KM2-A gearbox for the 2GM was available with 2.21, 2.62 or 3.22 ratios. You would think that after "X"ing out the 2.62 they would have stamped the correct 2.21 ratio on the plate. Rick Taillieu Nemesis '75 C&C 25 #371 Shearwater Yacht Club Halifax, NS

Re: Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

Dave, Yes, release the preventer, gybe and re-attach. When in doubt, chicken gybe (tack). Trim sail almost to centerline but do not cleat so it can run free on the other side. Wear gloves! Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 9:09 AM, David Knecht via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wro

Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

When it's really windy, it depends.. If I'm just out cruising with the family most of the time we just do what I call a "Chicken jibe": Do a regular in the wind tack but go 270 degrees. No fuss, no muss no matter how hard it's blowin' not pretty but not scary either. If I'm racing or feel like

Re: Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

Joel said: “Trim sail almost to centerline but do not cleat so it can run free on the other side. Wear gloves!” if I can add to it... I was taught that you tack quick and jibe slow. I usually, especially, if there is any more wind, hold it for a second at the point where the wind is directly be

Stus-List Red spots under transmission...Oh My!

It is a Hurth V Drivewith not quite 3,000 hours on it. That's an average of 100 hours per year I have had Alegria since 2006 (the engine had about 2,100 hours on it when purchased) and this is the first time I have ever seen any trans fluid. It appears to be a spray perpendicula

Re: Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

With winds over 15 kts I try to helm a bit off the lee and have the main trimmer center the boom. When the end is about 18" off centerline I do the initial gybe fairly fast to swing the boom to 18" on the other side. The mainsheet is then eased out to the correct position once I have settled in on

Re: Stus-List Red spots under transmission...Oh My!

Spencer, I do not know any sure signs of impending doom but a small leak may be a tired seal instead of a complete rebuild. If the oil smells/looks normal (not burnt) and you are not experiencing other signs of wear like slippage or extra hesitation when changing between fwd and rev you may be

Yea I caught up to Rick (I hope I'm remembering that right) on the dinghy dock and we chatted for a few minutes.  I asked him if he was on the list and he mentioned you.  He was kind of busy with his dogs so we let him get away easy before we blabbed his ear offlol From my Android phone -

Re: Stus-List Jibe Preventers / Boom brakes

I've used the barberhauler as a preventer, successfully. The strongest way is to attach the preventer to the boom end, but I simply clip my barberhauler into a loop of line I have on the fitting where the vang attaches to the boom. It holds the boom out to one toerail while the other barberhaule

Re: Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

I have some concerns with what has been said. If it is blowing 10-15 and you are wing on wing by the lee, if you slowly pull the main into the center, you would have to head up to prevent premature gybe. This will kill the wing on wing as well as the main efficiency and both are going to slow th

Stus-List Red spots under transmission...Oh My!

Just to add a little more to this discussion, there is no part of the transmission that is under enough pressure to create a "spray". There is a vent in the dipstick and the transmission fluid simply moves around by gravity and the motion of the gears, etc. Also, it will cost about $750 to hav

Re: Stus-List more rookie sail handling questions

I guess ymmv. I don't say to slow down (not that it matters that much in a keel boat; the chances are small that you will be going much faster than 6-8 kt, depending on your LOA), only to turn slowly. I do the complete manoeuvre by first getting close to running, switch the jib to wing on wing
