Stus-List Bermuda1-2 lessons learned

Hi All, As I mentioned last spring as part of a question about life rafts, I had planned to sail my C&C33-1 solo to Bermuda and back (double handed) in the Bermuda1-2 race. I did, It was fun, it was terrifying, it was expensive to prepare for, and it was frustrating as I did not do well (dfl)

Re: Stus-List Bermuda1-2 lessons learned

Thanks David! On the topic of Solent stays, I think I have two options. (1) A true removable Solent supported at the top of the mast by the backstay and at the deck near the bow fitting or (2) possibly, a staysail stay supported at the spreaders (one set) by the aft lowers and at the midforedec

Stus-List C&C 33 - I aft lowers

Hi All, C&C 33 - 1 with two sets of lowers: forward and aft. They attach at two attachment points on the mast, one slightly higher than the other and both just below the spreaders. Do the forward lowers attach at the highest point or the one 2 inches lower? Thanks! David _

Stus-List Lazy Jacks

I am planning to install lazy jacks on my C&C 33-1. Something simple with rings instead of blocks. The two top most lines attach ... where? I'm aiming for half way between the spreaders and the top of the mast. How long should the top piece be (ie where does the first split occur? Appreciate an

In my 1975 C&C 33-1, I was able (many years ago) to get my daughter (when she was 11) to squeeze into that space (twice) once to remove the old exhaust and again to put a new one back on. We did this by removing the engine control panel and both screw-on access ports to reduce claustrophobia. I

Stus-List C&C 33-I Spreaders?

Hi All, I just took my mast down (original mast on a 1975 C&C 33) for some work and was horrified to find that one of my spreaders is cracked in a not-good way. Ideally, I'd like to replace it -- does anyone know where such a part could be found? It's an airfoil shaped section that tapers toward

Re: Stus-List C&C 33-I Spreaders?

Thanks, I'll give Klacko a try! Then, if they don't have it or if the cost is insane, I'll try to fix it. For the record (and because someone asked), the crack is really more like a split along the leading edge. Welding or reinforcement might be possible. Thanks all, David On Thu, Dec 4, 201

Stus-List Cunningham

Hi All, I'm buying a new mainsail and I am going to ask a ridiculous-sounding question. Do you have a Cunningham grommet in your mainsail? I do not in my current sail but that is because Hood made the sail with a jack line (or lace line) which serves the purpose. My new sail definitely won't

Stus-List reefing line

Quick question for the List: I've had "my" sail maker put three reefs into my mainsail (C&C33-I). Most of the time I sail with the reef-line not run through the clew grommets. For an upcoming sailing adventure, I will need to have all three reefs rigged and ready to go. What line should I use?

Burt, I can say that I have a below deck actuator in my C&C33 so in your case (with a tiller) there should be plenty of room. In my case I bolted a below deck tiller and mounted it athwartships just above the quadrant (I have wheel steering). The actuator runs fore-and-aft and is mounted in the

Re: Stus-List Wheel Turns

Thanks for the info -- my wheel used to do three turns stop to stop but I reconfigured my below decks tiller arm (that sits above the quadrant -- quarter circle) in a way that, unintentionally, will reduce it to 2 turns. I suppose I really should ask what a reasonable maximum rudder angle would b

Re: Stus-List Plumbing Related

Just for the record, you do not want to be dependent on the head pump to keep your boat afloat as the valves in these things can and do fail. Sea water overflowing the bowl probably means that there is a siphon between the head and the though hull (or worse). Replacing the pump just delays sinki

Re: Stus-List Re-routing cockpit drain lines

Hi Barbara, I have a 33-1 with the same configuration. I don't see any need to change it as It works well for draining small amounts of water. However, when you need to empty the cockpit in a hurry, say when its been filled after being pooped by a breaking wave, you need more drain cross-sectio

Stus-List internal rudder structure?

I know that my rudder leaks and, every year I drill a drain hole to empty it. Rusty water comes out. Of course I will do my best to seal the rudder post where it enters the rudder but I am toying with the idea of cutting into my C&C 33-I's rudder to examine the state of the weld that holds the
