Stus-List Crew duties during a race

I need some help here.  Our local sailing club on Albemarle Sound supports a low key racing program (no spin, but olympic triangle and hot dog course).   They are trying to increase the number of boats racing and that requires additional crew.  Remembering some great threads here on crew duties a y

Re: Stus-List Window Replacement

Hi, The procedure outlined by Don Casey in a Sail magazine is excellent. To add to Casey’s article, I traced the old port and cut the material slightly larger with a sabersaw. I then sanded the edges down to final size with an orbital sander. This worked easily and produced nice results.

Re: Stus-List Crew duties during a race

A very noble cause. I remember those crew descriptions. You won't need many descriptions if the boats have roller furled jibs. Helm, Mainsheet Trimmer, Genoa Trimmer each side? Maybe a Floater who skirts the jib, and works the halyards, Cunningham, Vang, Outhaul, Preventer? The most intimidat

Re: Stus-List Window Replacement

I replaced mine about 7 or 8 years ago. I used some special...expensive...glue with a special gun to administer it. Held for quite a while but the back end where the window flexes(?), curves maybe better, most has popped out. So, I guess it's time to do it all again. I'll look for your post i

Re: Stus-List Crew duties during a race

Allen, Chuck has probably about summed it up. If you are running kites you might need one more person on deck but be careful to avoid overcrowding. Anyone surplus to current sailhandling becomes human ballast and has the joy of sitting on the windward gunwhale. Lucky people. Also, I agree with

Re: Stus-List Crew duties during a race

Before the Great Refit, often when my wife and I went out for an afternoon sail it went like this: Me: “Honey, could you just take in on the mainsheet a bit?” Wife, putting down her knitting and cranking: “Is that enough?” “Yes. Thanks” Wife goes back to knitting. “Honey, could ease the trave

Re: Stus-List Outboard in the river

You might need to pull the carb and get the water out of the bowl and perhaps other parts of the fuel system. If it was old enough / large enough to have a magneto like a 1962 merc 650, you might fuss around for a while before you pulled the cover off the magneto to find it just wet enough to mi

Perhaps the cat was not trying to tie you up securely. She might have been just playing with you. :) Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 09:14 PM 22/04/2015, you wrote: Cats also tie terrible knots. Never trust a cat to tie you up securely. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III V
