Re: Stus-List LF38 Mast Placement in the Step

I'm not sure that it really matters. That telephone pole mast is still pretty flexible, and once it's set in the collar the rake is entirely controlled by the rig. Wal ___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, includ

Stus-List Modifications to rig

Hello all, A couple of days ago while my mast was on saw horses it got into a fight with a riding lawnmower and lost. The attachment points for the cap shroud and the mounting bracket for a lower spreader are mangled badly. I also have a rod backstay that has a permanent bend in it and the cap s

Re: Stus-List Modifications to rig

Yikes and good luck. I think that I would replace damaged parts rather than repair or try to straighten the bent rod.. Jack Fitzgerald C&C 39TM HONEY US12788 Savannah, GA On Sun, May 10, 2015 at 10:46 AM, Gary Zuehlke via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > A couple of day

Re: Stus-List Modifications to rig

Thanks Jack. Offshore Spars built the rig and they are about ten minutes from the boat. I am hoping they will have spare brackets in the back but I am not holding out much hope. Speaking of replacing, how much difference will I see if I replace the rod with wire rigging? On May 10, 2015 10:50 AM,

Re: Stus-List Modifications to rig

Gary I had UK Sails in Charleston replace every piece of the rod with Dyform 6 wire and never looked back. I have owned my 39 since 1975 and the Navtec rod has been a PITA as well as expensive to properly maintain. I haven't noticed any difference in the way that my boat sails except that she is

Re: Stus-List Modifications to rig

Gary, I second jack's recommendation of Dyform wire as an alternate to rod. I put Dyform fore and back stays on Calypso back in 1999. No issues of concerns for stretch when used for club racing and PNW cruising. Martin Calypso 1971 C&C 43 Seattle From:

Stus-List Heat exchanger

As I progress through my cooling system I will have to clean out the heat exchanger on our 3HM35. I have a simple question, not covered in the repair manual I have... Can it be cleaned in place once the end caps are removed? And, if so, does this mean I don't have the drain the coolant? thx

Re: Stus-List rig tuning

tie wraps on the turnbuckles work fine for me...I would likely change to cotter pins for off shore but for waht sailing I do electric tie wraps work fine...nthing seems to change much on daysails in 0-20 apparent on my 35 MKII and if it did I would likely notice overly slack tension to leeward Dwi

Re: Stus-List C&C 34 rig tune

Hi Dwight, We did some damage over the years. On the J24, I was a fanatic, kept a log... tuned every week/regatta for conditions, all that stuff. Same on the J30, but with this boat, I'm looking at some pieces I'm not used to and figuring it out as I go. Having a baseline is what I was looking f

Re: Stus-List Heat exchanger

Tom, if you can access the tubes with the heat exchanger in place. By all means do so. Although when I do this on Pegasus, I run a lot of water through it.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 just west of Ballard, WA. -- Original message--From: Tom Buscaglia via CnC-ListDate: Sun,

Re: Stus-List Heat exchanger

First, I would try to suck/siphon enough coolant out and save it for reuse. Second, without the end bells on the core is removable. In fact in dire straights you can do so to make your fresh water cooled into a raw water cooled. That being said, I don't think you can remove the end bells without

Re: Stus-List rig tuning

I've been watching my rig and actually tightened the starboard shrouds a little to match the port...by feel. Under what conditions should I expect the leeward shrouds to loosen (how much wind and what angle)? Is there a way to decribe slack? How loose is slack? Visibly floppy or just feel less
