Re: Stus-List Masthead sheaves C&C 37+

Josh, My sheaves seemed to be original as I could not find anything from the FO indicating they had ever been replaced. Patriot’s mast was out last winter and my rigger said her sheaves were fine. They did not have a groove for wire rope. I think my halyards are 7/16 with a 1/2” groov

Re: Stus-List "Maritime Documentation Center"

I also received the notice. Somehow, the USCG Documentation Center enables these guys by providing mailing the list of documented boats. They are taking advantage of an opportunity created when the $26.00 charge was created. You’ll notice that before the government started trying to ‘cover’ t

Stus-List Force 10 Galley Range - Thermostat

Patriot has a 1991 version of a 3-burner Force 10 propane stove with oven. The temperature control on the oven is totally manual. New versions of the same stove (Galley Gourmet Range) have a thermostatically controlled oven. The newer stove looks pretty much the same as the older stove. it se

Re: Stus-List 37/40 Fuel tank removal

Alan, My fuel tank was removed in 2011 to access the strut. I had my boatyard do it and didn't think there were any issues. The tank was not removed from the boat and may have only been lifted out of the way to get to the strut fasteners. It could be hard to remove the hoses. Could it be po

Re: Stus-List Mast boot and keel bolts

Brien, As a fellow submariner, I sympathize about water in the people tank. During off-season, I get a small amount in my bilge and have taken a few steps to limit this. The first thing is to put something in the luff track to divert/stop the down the mast. When winterizing the boat, I pump

Re: Stus-List Connecrion/hose leak, shower handle to head

Re: Stus-List Refinishing interior woodwork (not cabin sole)

Bruce, I’ve cleaned mine with vinegar and applied Epifanes rubbed effect varnish. The rubbed effect does not have UV inhibitors. For areas exposed to sunlight, I apply clear varnish and a final coat of rubbed effect. Last year, I did my companionway ladder and sanded it first. The shade

Re: Stus-List *Reminder #1* October 26, 27, 28 - 2018 Mid-Atlantic C&C Rendezvous

Josh, We’ll be in Annapolis the preceding weekend for my Boat School 50th and will miss the C&C Rendezvous. If people are looking for a place to stay on dry land, I’d suggest looking at Air B&B. Even with our “special” reunion rate for hotels were very expensive. Several of us are s

Re: Stus-List Spring Projects

Chuck, Last time my mast was out, I replaced the anchor light with a tri-color nav light & anchor light combo. I can use this for sail power only and the visible range is much better. The white portion of the tri-color alos illuminates the Windex. Ron From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-l

You may be able to purchase a 12 VDC to 12 VDC regulated power supply or make one with an inexpensive Zener diode and a couple of resistors. Good luck, Ron Ron Ricci S/V Patriot C&C 37+ Bristol, RI ron.ri...@1968.usna.com _
