Hi Jacob Some of us have installed anchor windlasses in the anchor locker, if you like I can provide details. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 On 2017-03-26 1:20 PM, jacob fuerst via CnC-List wrote: Currently I do not have a windlass on the boat. The anchor locker and lid takes up th

Re: Stus-List Windows Pt 2.

That is odd Mark, I've bought acrylic from them 3 times without problems. They sold me a half sheet 2 x 8 last time. It may be that asking for 9mm is confusing things, I'd call them and ask for 3/8th inch. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 On 2017-04-04 5:12 PM, Dr. Mark Bodnar via C

Re: Stus-List Diesel Air Heaters (Webasto, Planar, Eberspaecher/Espar)

Hi Andrew I've got an Espar hydronic unit, and love it. Before you get too far though you should ponder where to install the unit, and how and where to run the exhaust. For example, the exhaust needs to be held several inches away from combustable materials (e.g. hull, bulkheads, hoses...).

Re: Stus-List Sail advice for 35

I do find it amusing that in 15 knots with just my 135 my boat is as fast as with the main up and a smaller jib. I thought about trying that one on a race crew one time but figured they would have tied me up and stuffed me in the lazarette. Thankfully there is that rule saying you have to fini

Re: Stus-List How are the reefing lines run on a 33-2

A jam cleat on the mast may be for temporarily parking a halyard if you are at the mast pulling it up. I use one for my main when I'm sailing by myself. Or maybe for a cunningham? My reefing lines come out the underside of the boom, down to the mast collar, and back along the deck to clutches

Re: Stus-List Anchor windlass on CnC33-2 ?

I put a windlass on Secret Plans 7 years ago and have loved it ever since - makes anchoring so much easier that it isn't thought of as a hassle. I glassed a beam into the back of the anchor locker, fastened an aluminum bracket to it, and attached to the windlass to that - so it is not above dec

Re: Stus-List Tablet for navigation

I don't think out on the water counts as poor signal conditions. My Sony android tablet has a built in GPS receiver and runs Navionics perfectly, as does my phone (which has no data plan, hence is not getting a location fix via data). Do the cheaper iPads not have a GPS chip in them? Graham C

Try it on April 7th, and if it doesn't work see if Garmin is offering a firmware update for it. You'd probably need a computer connection cable to put an update on it, which may cost more than the unit... This is a classic "own goal" thing, they (the system designers, not Garmin) set up the sy
