Remember the Spartite kit comes with clay to plug the gap, you’ll need some modeling clay too. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I Kent Island MD USA From: Rod Stright via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2021 3:40 AM To: 'Stus-List' Cc: Rod Stright Subject: Stus-List Re: Alte

Joe (and any other 35-1 owners), I've looked at that as a sealer inside the deck ring at the partners, and I'm wondering how you managed to plug the bottom of the ring.  On my boat there's almost no clearance between the head's longitudinal bulkhead and the mast, were you able to work clay int

You just have to cram it in there somehow. Mine wasn’t perfect, some ran down the mast and I had to clean it off. There is probably still some on that side. Joe From: Neil Gallagher via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2021 3:14 PM To: Joe Della Barba via CnC-List Cc: Neil Gallagher Subject:

I managed. I'm on boat now. Just looked at it. Touche' has about a finger width clearance between that bulkhead and mast. There is about 1/4-3/8 inch gap between headliner and mast that needs to be sealed. I don't recall how I sealed it. I suspect I jammed clay in there and pushed it in the g

Tried to change the pencil zinc in the heat exchanger of Touche's Universal 25XPB today. Normally a 5 minute job. Unfortunately, this time the zinc chose to stay in the nipple once the holder was unscrewed. Access is poor and I couldn't grab the little piece sticking out enough to twist it out.

Thanks folks for all the responses.  I know a lot more than before, although still sadly lacking.  Thanks for the PS article which helped some as well.If I've understood correctly, the general consensus seems to be a double braid is the way to go for a guy just cruising around.I did remember one

My aft wedge (I only used four) slipped last season and cracked my liner. So last week I filled the partner all around with formula 27, sanded, then painted over it. I don't have any gap inside the partner, at least this year. Boat is now in the water and mast is up but not properly sealed. Sp

Yes Ron, double braid is really the only best option. It appears that you have interpreted the graph in the same manner as I. There are a few other factors that are going to impact your choice. I got the Samson XLS dirt cheap for my check stays. I chose it for its cost first, color second, and
