In other emails I mentioned our recent excursion to Tofino, BC. It was
achingly gorgeous, stressful, and hilarious, and we had some fantastic
sailing. Here's some video I shot during the trip.

Jeremy,
Recently I was able to troubleshoot inefficient manual bilge pump with
blowing air from shop-vac into the bilge end of the hose.
A small hole in the hose close to the pump became evident pretty quickly.
I lucked out that it was in an accessible spot.

On our boat, after years of exposure to small amounts of oily water in the
bilge, the manual bilge pump hose became brittle for the first 8" or so of
it length and cracked across, just above the foot valve. The internal
spiral wire held it together and hid the crack. This was the white, spiral

Google "dye penetrant crack" and go to images. There are many examples of
actual cracks revealed by dye checks.
The polished chain plate did not show evidence of a serious crack.

Great article, Don. Thanks for sharing.
The trend is a little more bleak in Western LI Sound. Racing numbers are down
everywhere. Years ago, our Wednesday Night series had around 125 boats with 9
divisions. Now we are around 30 and 4 divisions.

I would go around the local sailing clubs and figure out who's a pro
delivery captn' They are often looking for crew. Typical deal: You pay
your way to and form the boat, you "work" for free but you get the
experience you want.
Best of luck.

Andrew, have you heard of the Puget Sound Cruising Club (PSCC)? We meet
every 3rd friday at the NSCC library hall. And go on a cruise the following
weekend. There are members that are or have sailed all over the world. I am
sure you can
Take the Safety at Sea course. It is invaluable and makes you much more
attractive as a crew member.
Have the proper gear - foulies, boots, gloves, inflatable PFD with harness
and tether, headlight, water bottle, coffee mug
Do some overnight cruising, even if a cruise to nowhere. Get used to a
I just google it... This stuff is amazing... Thanks!

Subject: Re: Stus-List Forestay Stem Fitting /
A couple years after I bought Touche', I had the rig out to rebuild the
mast step. I dye checked most of the fittings and didn't find any cracks.
Felt better about the rig after that.
A few years later I was working on a client boat. We were inspecting the
rigging and found a cracked turnbuckle.

This looks pretty close to home for you...http://www.vicmaui.org/crewbank
Check the Race Tracker too. The Vic Maui race started a few days ago
and 1/2 the fleet is becalmed and the rest is facing a huge
storm. Looks like exactly what you're looking for!
Hope to see you at the Rendes
The stanchions on my '78 C&C 34 are wobbly and some are bent. They also
leak a bit. The previous owner told me I should:
1. take the stanchions off and straighten the bent ones in a vice
2. clean stanchions and the holes in prep for re-bedding
3. re-bed with 3M 4200 but don't tighten fully
4. on
Assuming we're not talking about severe enough bends that the stanchion has a
crease, that is a reasonable plan. There likely isn't any rot because the deck
core terminates before the stanchions and toe rail.
Check your stanchion bases for vertical cracks on the outboard side (in line

I haven't messed with my stanchions, but I've had success rebedding other

discusses the reasons to use butyl as opposed to 4200:

Hi Jeremy,
For some odd reason your pump questions reminds me of an old story..
A penguin is driving his car down the road. All
of a sudden he hears noises coming from the car, and he gets upset.
So the first gas station he comes to, he pulls in
and he says I have a noise in my car.
