Stus-List Freezing cockpit drains solved

A couple of weeks ago I posted that the cockpit drains on my 33 mkii were frozen and the hoses had popped off. Upon investigation, I found that there was a low spot in the criss-crossed drains. I am not sure whether they were originally installed with a low spot or they just sagged over the year

Re: Stus-List Deck hardware for mooring

It is best that a mooring be set up to give 3:1 to 5:1 of scope, just like an all chain anchor rode. Recommended practice is that the bottom ½ to 2/3 of the chain be heavier than the top section. The mooring rules (Nayak Yacht Club?) recently posted in this discussion called for something like

I experience the same thing, the cockpit had about 5 inches of water in it during a thaw earlier this winter. Another project to put on the list for the new Mark II. john from Enterprise. On Sunday, March 15, 2015 10:19 AM, mike amirault via CnC-List wrote: A couple of weeks ago I

Re: Stus-List Email List or Forum

Jonathan — you’re right. Setting your mail client up as IMAP rather than as a POP client means that all messages will stay on the email server, and then be copied to all IMAP clients of that account when they connect. I’ve got my Gmail account set up that way on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad

Stus-List Lifelines

All, Both ISAF and USSailing are banning dyneema lifelines for offshore races because they have failed due to chafe on a few boats. USSailing is allowing them this year. I've seen no sign of chafe after 2 seasons. If I'm doing the Bermuda race again I'll be making a lot of soft shackles from my

Stus-List Chart Help

So in a few weeks I’ll be bringing a fairly deep draft boat (6-1/2’) into an area not really designed for fairly deep boats (canal in my condo complex). The approach is the issue, not the canal. Local knowledge is none as it is primarily shallow powerboats in the canal. Water depth on the app

John — any chance you could make some passes ahead of time in a dinghy with a hand-held depth sounder like one of these: http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|344|2028688|2028746&id=2571459 Or better yet, a portable fishfinder. This would help you get an idea of what’s really there. Fr

Re: Stus-List Freezing cockpit drains solved

Changing the subject slightly, my cockpit drains are not crossed, they go straight down, and work fine. I don't get the theory of crossing drains. Seems to me that a crossed drain will start to approach horizontal as the boat heels and work less well. So what's the logic behind crossed cockpit d

Re: Stus-List Email client details

Hi Fred, I have my email client as POP and there is a setting to leave messages the on server x number of days. I have it set to 15 days, after which Eudora will delete the expired messages. I guess that's why I still use Eudora, a good old girl and less virus risk than iStuff or Mac and WA

Re: Stus-List Freezing cockpit drains solved

Hi Sam, If your cockpit sole is at an elevation where the leeward drain is below the waterline when heeled then crossed drain hoses prevent water coming into the low corner and getting the binoculars and empty beer cans wet. I have vertical drain hoses and no problems. Cheers, Russ

Actually that is not strictly true. My laptop, using Outlook, is set to remove messages from the POP server. It is a setting you chose when setting up the email account. I also use whatever email client comes standard on my IPad. When I set up the mail account on it, I chose the setting to not

Re: Stus-List Freezing cockpit drains solved

The idea is that, when the boat is heeled, a portion of the hose from the leeward scupper to the windward through hull will be above the water level and will keep water from siphoning back into the cockpit. The PO of my 25 had rigged the scuppers to drain straight down. When heeled, the low

Close. Does not have to be all Apple products to sync with IMAP. I have Outlook on my home PC, and on my work Laptop. I have an iPhone and an IPad mini. All retrieve emails from the server, but if I delete an email on one device, it will be deleted on all the others. Likewise I can see "sent" m

Re: Stus-List IMAP vs. POP (was: Email List or Forum)

Warning: not C&C or even sailing related. If you switch to IMAP (from POP3) you lose the ability to read off-line - for some this might be useful. If you use the "recent" tag on your Gmail, it synchronises quite nicely. Marek From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On
