Stus-List C&C 115 rig tensions

We are tuning the mast on Koobalibra this evening. It occurred to me that I never knew any tension numbers for the C&C 115 and that we normally just do it til it feels right and then adjust after sailing a bit. Does anyone have the tension numbers for a baseline tune? Mike ___

Re: Stus-List Mixing Elbow - 2GM20F

Yeah maybe it was short sided to use tape but the point was to "lubricate" the threads and allow a tight enough connection. It is in fact tight enough because my air filter now stays clean. Like i said, I may play hell getting it apart should the need arise. As for fumes, i haven't noticed any..

Stus-List Main sail slides

I’ve been having issues with my mainsail. It seems the slides are bucking in the mast track. Part of it is due to warn track, and part due to new(second hand)main sail having full battens. I ended up ripping the luff cord trying to bring the main down in a blow last year, and the patch job g

Re: Stus-List Main sail slides

Yep, when we had the new mainsail made the maker suggested the StrongTrack system by Tides Marine. It was also recommended by practical sailor. The sail goes up quite easily with only the weight of the sail causing resistance and coming down it simply falls without help right into the sail pack.

Re: Stus-List Main sail slides

The Tides Marine Strong Track was a great upgrade. When I release the halyard, the main comes down as if it is not even attached to the mast. I would recommend ordering direct from the maker, though, as that way you get tech support from the people that have seen it all, and know what to do. I

Re: Stus-List Main sail slides

I installed a Tides Marine Strong Track on my 38 about a decade ago. I am quite satisfied with it. My main has type D slides for the 5 full battens and either F or H slides for the other slides. When new, I could raise the sail by hand to within about 5 feet of the top before putting the line on
