Saw those. That is not a battle flag. A battle flag is cut at an angle on the leading edge and fitted with luff tape to fit into the headstay so that it flies parallel to the water when you are steaming ahead. I have had them in the past but never kept a picture. From: Dennis C. Sent

Two years ago i bought a new Nordac 3Di 135 furling genoa from North. It was not cheap but it is fantastic. . Ive never sailed with a sail that needs less tweaking which is awesome for single handing. Groove is wide and predictable. Sent the measurements and perfect fit first time. My old sail w

If you’re looking at NorDac, make sure you know what you’re getting. The material is bulletproof: thick, stiff and bulky. The main cover made for my previous dacron main does not fit over my NorDac main. From: Wade Glew Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 9:25 AM To: Stus-List Subject: St

Yep, thought that's what you meant. Just trying to help out Stu. I have one I bought from Tartan when they owned C&C. It's large, like 3 x 5 or so. I always meant to take it to my sailmaker to put a luff tape on it. Then I got Touche's rating changed to include a roller furler credit. With a f

General advice – you are buying a sail and a sailmaker too. No matter where it gets made, unless it shows up perfect trying to get it fixed by shipping it back and forth will be annoying at best. Our local cheap place is Bacon’s and they have people here to deal with things onsite or nearby and

Urethane might be more durable, but it is usually more liquid, which would require some type of mold to contain it. But it is pretty tough. There are many grades though, not sure which would be best. Hard to find in white. https://www.mcmaster.com/urethane/food-industry-casting-compounds/ Bil

Found someone who replaced the rub rail on a Sea Ray and I believe our rub rail would be installed similarly. You may be inspired by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMcjlZfW7g Chuck S > On 11/17/2020 5:33 PM John Conklin wrote: > > > So also took a hit last hurricane whi

I had a surprisingly good result fixing similar gouging on my boat’s vinyl. I used a rasp to clean out the dirt and provide a clean bonding surface, then filled the gouges with white Marine Tex. Once shaped and sanded, you could barely notice the repair. Time will tell how well it ages and stick

That Sea Ray Rub rail looks like a rubber extrusion that can be squeezed into an aluminum extrusion. I think the C&C rub rails are a flat piece of rubber that is bolted in between the two flanges of the deck and the hull. Not so easy. Bill Coleman On Tue, Nov 17, 2020, 7:12 PM CHARLES SCHEAFFER
