Re: Stus-List Masthead sheaves replacement

2014-12-06 Thread Jake Brodersen via CnC-List
David, I replaced several of my sheaves many years ago. The groove for the wire is not that deep. All rope halyards run over them pretty easily without any additional drag. I replaced mine because the plain bearing material had worn away. The original stainless steel shafts were easy to

A previous owner of my LF-38 made up some pvc pipe extensions (one for oil, one for coolant) for use when filling.  They mean that you can fill from the quarter berth, rather than directly over the engine.  Henry Reeve, LF-38 Lone Star From: Robert Boyer via CnC-List To: "cnc-list@cnc-lis

When I switched from wire/rope halyards to all rope I removed the sheaves and machined them from a V groove to a U groove. At the same time I replaced the bearings with new oilite bronze. After two years I pulled the sheaves again and the bearings were noticeably worn with cracks at the edges. Repl

Stus-List Yacht Charter for the PNW Rendezvous?

2014-12-06 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List
I am beginning to make plan to attend the PNW Rendezvous on Thetis Island, BC in early August, 2015. And I think a charter and a bit of time to explore the Gulf Islands with my Admiral would be a really nice trip. I have a friend who went sailing there last summer with a friend of hers, and the

Hope you are having a great, and warm, weekend, Dennis. It is rainy, gray, and the high was about 60 in NC today. Not a nice day for boating. We have all experienced the sort of GPS errors you mentioned at one time or another. And because we all know that our GPS receiver can calculate out p

Joel, I've heard this argument years ago, that the gov't intentionally altered the GPS signal. I really think the system is not being jambed, but the number of satelites connected could be limited. I think it's more to control bandwidth than to intentially confuse non-military users. Don't t

if you are using a WAAS enabled GPS - the accuracy is as good as military - it compensates for the offset. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 6, 2014, at 19:34, Chuck S via CnC-List wrote: > > Joel, > I've heard this argument years ago, that the gov't intentionally altered the > GPS signal. > I re

Actually, a front coming through tonight is dropping the the temp dramatically. :) As for the navigation thread, we were motoring a narrow section of the ICW before sunup this morning. Although Touché was in the middle of the "ditch", the GPS showed us about 150 yards north in the pine trees.

From what I have read, intentional inaccuracies of GPS was a real thing. It was called Selective Availability and it was switched off around 2000 by the Clinton Admin. This made civilian GPS accurate to 20 meters +- .The inaccuracies we see now are the result of atmospheric and electromagnetic w
