Re: Stus-List Boom Furling complications

Danny, You can always devise a bridle that would grab the mast by the spreaders (without putting any pressure on the back of the mast). You can get up to the spreaders using a small ladder (or get yourself lifted in a bosun's chair or a harness). This is a reasonably standard practice if your mast

Re: Stus-List Fuel vents

I don’t think it would work. This fuel-water separator works on principle of fuel being lighter than water (so it floats on top) and it can separate small quantities of water from (large quantities of) fuel. The problem on hand is a large quantity of water (and no fuel) entering the line. I thin

Re: Stus-List plumbing problem

If I may add, take pictures and make them available (DropBox, Google+, OneDrive, whatever is your favourite place to share pictures). It would be substantially easier to figure out what you need if others could see what is broken. Be aware that a lot of marine plumbing is common with the RVs

Re: Stus-List Changing oil filter Yanmar 3gmf

I would try puncturing the filter so the oil would drain down into the sump and then unscrew it with a shop towel or better yet with a cleaning serviette around the bottom. Then you wipe it clean. So far any of the proposed techniques worked for me. Marek Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From:

Rob, Thanks for sharing this. This looks like a good idea. I am planning to try this the next time I change the filter. Marek Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network. Original message From: robert via CnC-List Date: 2015-10-31 20:49 (GMT-05:00) To:

Re: Stus-List The platform question

I would second that. You do a really good job, Stu, and we all appreciate it. I think the idea of a periodic fund drive is quite good. If I may suggest something, I would say that another good idea would be to find someone who could step up, when Stu is no longer able to continue. From a sim

Re: Stus-List Dimension Polyant Hydranet Radial sailcloth

I would say, it depends on how much you are paying for the cross-cut. If it is a $1000 (or less) sail, think twice; if it is a $3500 sail, I would not hesitate one moment. Marek From: Jerome Tauber via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2015 10:20 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Jerome T

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Replacing Windows

One thing I noticed in these specs is that the VHB tapes have generally better strength of bond when a dynamic load is applied and “will tend to show creep behaviour with stress load acting over a long period of time (static pressure). As a general rule, for static loads, approximately four squa
