For those that have been on this list for a very, very long time, polars are like foredeck cows, but white and meaner. 😀 Actually, polars are documents that describe the expected (optimum) performance of the boat for all expected wind speeds and directions. The are usually in a polar plot graphi

There are a few other options to consider. Both to be used when on the hard. 1. Cut a thread in the raw water intake through-hull (from the outside) and screw in a nylon hose barb. Attach a length of a hose to it and drop the hose into a container with antifreeze. Run the engine until the pin

Re: Stus-List Winterizing -- Raw Water Intake

I don't think the thermostat has anything to do with raw water (salt water in my case). I guess it could be a couple of gallons or more in the system (intake, heat exchanger, and then wet muffler and exhaust) so you could pump several (even 5 gal) before you see it exit the exhaust. I will ne

Stus-List Raymarine plotter upgrade

I finally got around to installing the chartplotter software upgrade released in May. If you race, it is certainly worth installing. If your wind instruments are connected to your plotter, and you put in marks as waypoints it will show you laylines, tacking angles etc. You can also ping the star

Stus-List Rigid vang

Thinking about projects for the boat. I definitely need a new main sheet system - and expect I'll go with Marek's Garhauer suggestion. But that then raises the idea of a rigid boom vang - If I'm going to buy one in the near future it's better to combine shipping. I'm not racing, and rarely us

Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

Mark, You might want to consider a boom kicker if you already have a vang. It just keeps the boom up and eliminates the topping lift. I'm really happy with mine, though I always put the main halyard on the aft end of the boom when the sail's down. http://www.boomkicker.com/ Neil Gallagher

Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

Mark, Garhauer makes excellent equipment, you can't go wrong there. As far as getting the leach tight when sailing, it sounds like you need to ease the topping lift so that the mainsheet can pull the boom farther down and thus tighten the leach. A rigid vang is not actually rigid, it is spring

Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

I have a Garhauer ridgid vang as well. Love it to death. I eliminated my topping lift all together with it. When I'm at the dock, I take the main halyard off and attach it to where the topping lift used to be to snug up. Keeps halyard from slapping the mast and keeps the rigid vang from makin

Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

Mark, As I said, I have a Boomkicker and I eliminated the topping lift and added the vang. I think that the rigid vang might be a bit more serious solution, but my boomkicker is doing its job fine. I think it is a tad cheaper and a bit lighter. You don’t _need_ to fiddle around with the vang al

FWIW, the balsa on my 1990 34R is 3/4" thick on deck and the hull. All vertical walls of cockpit and coachroof and transom are solid laminate, w no core. The fiberglass unit that covers the companionway slides and moonroof has 3/8" balsa. I have samples from these areas. Chuck Resolute 1990

Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

you need to learn about what a topping lift is used for and when you do you will understand that it has no effect on the leach; the leach line is a sail adjustment, the topping lift has no useful function when under sail Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, *Alianna* Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS d.ve...@b

Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

I believe the topping lift can be used to open up the top of the mainsail or create twist. The same way moving the car on the jib sheet back creates headsail twist. This is useful if you find that you have slightly too much sail up for the wind conditions or to create more fullness in light air w

Re: Stus-List Winterizing -- Raw Water Intake Tee

Read somewhere to add a bronze tee to the thruhull. This allows you to easily check or clear a blockage while cruising and easily winterize the engine, in or out of the water. I keep a bronze plug screwed into top port except for winterizing. I have a short maybe 4' length of 3/4" hose w a ball

Stus-List Sailing with main topping lift

A main topping lift serves two primary purposes: 1) opening the top of the main to create more twist and 2) holding the boom up when the mainsail is not hoisted. In my opinion, the former is more suited to a rigid boom vang or boomkicker. If either are properly installed, they should raise the bo

Hi Dennis and all, I hate topping lifts! I sail on a lot of different boats, and consider topping lifts a got-cha! Taking a Valiant 42 North, we were over powered a little bit, so I dropped the traveler, and sheeted down the main to flatten it - I had all the outhaul already. Kathleen came up
