Interesting. Two different boats do the same sailing trip, both of them from Halifax. I wonder what they add to the drinking water in Halifax. Btw. I think that the guys I know did it in a different (not C&C) boat and a little bit bigger (30 or 31 ft.). Marek Sent from Mail

The Russian guy who sailed around the world is interesting. Seems like most people (prudently so) sweat the seaworthiness, tank capacity, full or fin keel, "blue water" or not.

Hi Brandon, You might want to consider Interlux Perfection two parts.. It's a little more expensive but when you do it right, the results can be spectacular and it's extremely resilient and resistant to abrasion. I painted my bright red boot stripe with it 2 years ago= Zero fade, zero wax, de

Re: Stus-List Anyone use Pettit Easypoxy (EZ-Poxy one part)

FWIW I talked to the experts at Jamestown Distributors this spring, as the cabin top on my boat needed to be painted after 25 years in the Florida/Carribean sun. They said the 2 part will easily outlast the 1 part paints. They recommended Epiphanes 2 part epoxy after using their house brand prime

HI Antoine, I read your comment " Water temperature in July is around 6-7 degree celsius (around 45 Fahrenheit) in the St-Lawrence. There are a number of consequences to this. First, you need winter clothes (I?ve sailed under snow and freezing rain in mid May)." And started smiling.. I disti

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

Hi Rick,   I am not familiar with the rule of thumb for optimum whisker pole length, though it looks like the geometry is setting the pole at right angles to the boat, and the jib holds a 60 degree angle at the tack.   For light air dead run I set the jib at 90 degrees to the centerline to max

Re: Stus-List Portable Air Conditioner -- Anyone try it?

Edd, I have a 16500 BTU system and despite discharging cold air it still struggles to cool the cabin in the heat of summer. Randomly through the day it sucks up jellyfish which clog the strainer. Worse than that is when it happens in the middle of the night. Admittedly my unit is older and may

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

For what its worth, Forespar gives whisker pole sizing info for C&C: http://www.forespar.com/products/sail-spinnaker-pole-size-guide.shtml In PHRF Long Island Sound, the max whisker pole length is equal to your LP measurement. If you use your J-length spinnaker pole instead, PHRF LIS gives yo

Josh, and others with built in A/C units When cranked up, my CruisAir blows air in the mid-low 40's and keeps the cabin in the mid-low 70's even in 90+F heat without any awning. You might put a thermometer in the discharge and check it. It may well need a bit of service. Also, the water side ma

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

" In light air and flat water the barn door trim seems to be the fastest." It's been my observation that that's how the most experienced and winningest JAM boat skippers and crews in my club run downwind in their Catalina 27s, Ranger 26, and Cal 22 - wing and wing, headsail poled out. They must

Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole now downwind sailing

Have you guys ever seen the Y-flyers sail downwind?  Here in the US they don't use chutes, but they have an extra long whisker pole and they actually wing it forward of the 90deg mark.  They then sail at a broad reach instead of a run.There was an article in Sailing World that suggested it for b

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

Same experience in my JAM fleet with 30-40 footers--barn doors win every time--in spite of advice to sail a hotter angle and jibe. Can't figure out whether the advice is BS or I sail off at an angle where the extra distance is not made up by the faster speed and the subsequent jibes. Until I

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

If you are in a phrf region that doesn't limit the whisker pole to the J measurement it may well be faster to go dead downwind poled out. Since under LakevMichigan phrf we are limited to J I have had success with gybing downwind. BUT, it requires that you know and apply your Polars to the co

Re: Stus-List Mainsheet 37/40

That is the mainsheet fine tune. There is a 6:1 purchase inside the boom that allows the main to be trimmed easily, for upwind trimming. The added purchse is very helpful for controlling leach twist in medium to heavy air. I believe this is standard on the 37/40R and was an option on the XL. Ho

Re: Stus-List Assymetrical spinnaker pole

Michael, I agree that the “rule of thumb’ would mean that the headsail would be at about a 60 degree angle to the centerline of the boat. And I also see your point about the headsail at 90 degrees projecting the maximum area for force to be generated. The “barn door” being pushed by the
