Re: Stus-List Andrew running the ditch south

Andrew, Did the Valiant have a problem with the bridge height on the ICW. We talked ourselves out of the ICW to bypass rounding Cape Hatteras because of draft (7' wing) and height (67', measured) on a C&C 44. I would have thought the 50' Valiant would have an air draft problem. Jon

Re: Stus-List AIS Transponder Info

I installed a West Marine AIS-1000 on our C&C 44 in summer 2011 in preparation for our year long trip down the US east coast to the Caribbean and back. At the time the West Marine unit was significantly less expensive than other units, in some case less than half the price. It has worked flawlessly

Re: Stus-List Mor Child's Play

Richard, Thanks for the kind words regarding the trip. Its great to hear of people who read the blog. For the type of sailing/cruising we were doing I feel as though the C&C 44 is nearly ideal. We like to sail and sail fast where possible. Most people enter the Caribbean from the US east coast in t

Re: Stus-List Fred Hazzard Questions

Fred, I hope you have a good time in Mexico this winter. As for the water tank valves- in the cabinet in the forward head I have a set of 2 valves (one to the existing topsides vent and one internal) for each of the bow and starboard water tanks. In the right hand cup board in the aft head I hav

Stus-List Fwd: Author Needs Pix C & C 40

We kept seeing Skip and Madeline and their C&C 40 at various anchorages in the BVI's in Dec 2012/Jan 2013. They were one of a few C&C's that we came across in the Caribbean. We had sailed our C&C 44 from Kingston, Ontario reaching the Caribbean in the BVI's. Their C&C 40 is immaculate and the chan

Stus-List C&C 40 Aft Cabin revisited

OK, We all know C&C's are the prettiest boats on the water. My 44 has been called the "prettiest boat on the lake" by many people not including me :) or C&C owners. :) I would like to re-ask Don's original questions about the 40 Aft Cabin. I went with Don to look at this boat hoping to add to the

Stus-List Subject: Was Wire Gauge, now Where can I get LED?

I installed LED's all around on my boat and had no issues with the running lights or anchor light. The 3 color tricolor from Dr. LED was another story. It produced noise on the VHR radio (antenna is no more than 1 foot from the tricolor) making VHF unusable with the tricolor on.. I tried a variety

Stus-List Subject: Was Wire Gauge, now Where can I get LED?

The Dr. LED 3 color tricolor bulb had the RF noise problem. I never tried a white LED in the tricolor and suspect that it would be fine as the white anchor LED worked fine. At the time I researched my problem with the 3 color light I was not alone with the LED interfering with the VHF. It may be in

Stus-List C&C Interior Wood Veneer - mid 80's

It is time to refresh the interior of my 1986 44 and I have a section that I would like to re-veneer. Does anyone know what the wood veneer is on the mid 80's C&C's? Is it teak or some kind of mahogany? The best match I have found is the Teak Veneer Quartered from Oakwood Veneers. http://www.oakwoo

Re: Stus-List C&C Interior Wood Veneer - mid 80's

Thanks to all for the input. It looks like I will look for a good match in pattern with with teak veneer. I was planning to use the oil only to match the color but will use some kind of varnish on top. The idea of not having to do any interior trim maintenance for 30 years does appeal to me Jon

Stus-List Yanmar 4JH-TE Repower on C&C 44

The Yanmar 4JH-TE on our C&C 44 went bang on the weekend. It was the last thing on the boat that hadn't been replaced so in some ways it is a relief to replace it. It is unclear whether we will go new or remanufactured at this point. I have been appalled in the past at Canadian pricing on Yanmar pa

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 4JH-TE Repower on C&C 44

Thanks for all the input. I will summarize what I have found so far about engine replacements. Much to my surprise pricing for new Yanmar engines with similar hp (55 hp) to the old engine pricing is better in Canada compared to the US. With "boat show" pricing I have been quoted $14,900 US (list $1

Stus-List Retrieving reefing lines

I find the fastest way to do this is to use a tape measure that is sufficiently long and rigid. Extend it through the boom. Once through use electrical tape to tape the end of the reefing line to the end of the tape measure and pull it through. It doesn't take much more than a minute per line. I do

Re: Stus-List Broken Shift Cable C&C 44

Fred, I replaced the throttle and shift cables on my C&C 44 in 2016 after the shift cable broke. The Edson information I received with the boat suggested that I needed a 64 series (5/16" ends) gear shift cable and a 33 series throttle cable.(10-32 ends). I couldn't get Teleflex 64 series stuff so
