When the old battery "floor" collapsed, one winter, I rebuilt it and was able to make a larger platform with a lot more room for an extra battery in my 33 mkii. I have a 4D gel cell and a group 24 in there with room enough to add a group 27. You just have to make sure you have enough height to

Thanks all - I had installed jiffy reefing on the prior boat, and used eyestraps and cheek blocks, worked great. I do not have a loose footed main, and i do not recall grommets or slots to permit the reefing line to pass through. I may have missed that, hidden in plain sight. My main does h

Stus-List Club Team scoring with PHRF

Hey listers; We have two reasonably active PHRF fleets on the Neuse River in NC that are about 3 hours apart by boat. In an effort to get boats to move from one venue to another (increasing the fleet size in each open but club run regatta), we have been using a simple PHRF scoring scheme that

Josh, Shorai makes a nice, lightweight, Lithium-Iron motorcycle battery. http://shoraipower.com/lfx18a1-bs12-p86 It starts my Harley easily and weighs about 2 pounds. It’s also smaller than most motorcycle batteries. That’s a lot of power in a small package. Jake Jake Brodersen C

Mike, Unless you used stainless rivets, I doubt that aluminum rivets will hold up in this application. Since it's near the end of the boom, thru-bolting the fitting may be more secure. Even stainless rivets might pull out of an aluminum boom when used without a backing plate, but in your case, t

I knew I'd seen some cool options. Those looked pretty awesome! Small enough to fit anywhere and powerful enough to start. Josh On Nov 30, 2015 5:49 PM, "Jake Brodersen via CnC-List" < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Josh, > > > > Shorai makes a nice, lightweight, Lithium-Iron motorcycle batter

Stus-List Tide prediction app for my IPad?

Through luck or skill, we managed to bring the 72' schooner I was on over the weekend into the yard within 10 minutes after high tide - which was pretty much what was intended, based on the presumption that high tide would mean something close to slack water. Unfortunately, on arrival I found we st

Hi Fred, Thanks for the link. I think maybe I should get one of my Instrument mechanics to see if they can come up with a value for the thermistor. Otherwise I might just grab a few and do it on a trial basis. When it first started failing, years ago, I mentioned it at a C&C rendezvous and

120.4 degrees, eh? A few years ago during an offshore race, Touche's wind instrument indicated a steady 99 knots with gusts to 274 knots. After a power off/on cycle it indicated a more reasonable low 20's. :) Dennis C On Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 9:28 PM, Russ & Melody via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-l

Charlie, 3 hrs seems perfect for a distance race where you race one direction on Saturday, have a party or a raft-up and race back Sunday. 3 hrs is a fair commute to the start or back home, if sailors can only do one race. Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md -
