Stus-List Hull windows

2019-02-16 Thread David Knecht via CnC-List
I was looking through Sail magazine this morning and noticed several boats with windows in the topside hull. It seems to be a growing trend. My general sense of windows is that at some point in their lifetime, they will begin leaking so windows that will be underwater periodically would concer

My thought on this is, unless they have found a way for plexiglass ( I use this term loosely) to become one with the fiberglass. It will leak. Doug Mountjoy Sv Rebecca Leah LH39Port Orchard YC wa. Original message From: David Knecht via CnC-List Date: 2/16/19 07:43 (GMT-08:00

I appreciate windows in hulls that were designed for it. I spent some time on a Beneteau that had them tastefully throughout and anyplace you could sit, there was a nice window placed so you could see out and see the horizon. The glass on this particular 55' Sense design looked like 3/4" thick a

Actually there are two C&C owner groups on Facebook. C&C Sailboat Owners is newer, I think, and mostly in English. C&C Yacht is mostly in French and it appears the majority of the members are Canadian. Kelly Cuthbertson has been posting a lot of C&C history and photos (courtesy of George)

Dennis; I’m not sure how this date reset will impact our chart plotters, but I notice all the articles seem to focus on problems with GPS in cars. And some say that there should be little or no problem with the apps on phones and tablets that rely on GPS. Thinking back to the carious GPS

Hi Charlie, In answer to your questions: Yes, keel bolts can be tightened while the boat is in the water or on a cradle. Intuitively, many have suggested that the boat needs to be on a cradle with the keel supported so the keel is not "hanging". However, a calculation of loads and forces i

Regarding bolt torque and corresponding bolt pretension: there seems to be some misunderstanding about bolt torque. Worries about stripping threads when boat is in the water, thinking about lifting the keel up, must do it on the hard, etc. Just as an example for the sake of discussion, let's

I would have to agree with Chuck that it probably isn't a good fit for our boats,  but I do like them and they are kind of cool. It is slick to watch the green water flowing by. Some caveats I can think of are compromising the structure of the hull, after all we are bending these boats like a b

I think windows in the hull are ugly. But then so are the boats they come in. Used to be that for a sailboat to be seaworthy for an ocean crossing, they were required to carry hard covers for the coach roof windows in case of breakage. If you want windows buy a Buick by the sea. Ed Levert C&C 34

I removed for inspection the exhaust mixing elbow on my Yanmar 3YM20. I was glad I did. It was heavily corroded on the inside and the iron was extensively deteriorated. The engine is 9 years old and runs in cold, salt water. We have a band saw at my work, when the blade is needs replacement, I w
