FW: Correct Prop Size CC36

From: my… [at] hotmail.comTo: cr… [at] powwowcountry.comSubject: RE: Correct Prop Size CC36Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:35:15 -0600 I did a request for recommendations on prop size from Michigan Wheel for the CC36 and was told 16x8 3 blade sailor, 16x9 2 blade. Now that I think of it, my Martec 2 blade folding may be a 16x10.Reggie From: cr… [at] powwowcountry.comTo: ad… [at] calyachts.orgCC: ma… [at] powwowcountry.com; co… [at] hotmail.com; my… [at] hotmail.com; 3e… [at] rockymountains.netSubject: Correct Prop Size CC36Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:28:29 -0600 Hello out there, I am the owner of a 1969 Cal Cruising 36 with a Perkins 4107 engine, s/v Sognare. Currently under load with the prop running in forward she only revs to 2650 rpm and after 10 minutes and at that speed she heats up to 200 degrees. I have been cruising the boat between 1800-2200 rpm but have been getting black on the transom. At that rpm she does between 6 & 7 knots. The mechanic believes that both the diameter and pitch on the prop maybe too big. When in neutral the engine can rev to 4000 rpm. I am looking for suggestions on what other owners of similar boats are using for props etc. Reggie, Maybe you could get this out to your list of other CC36 owners. Thanks everyone. Chris Roberts s/v Sognare

Reggie, That's a pretty good memory you have; your Martec folding prop is 16x10. Guess what Beth and I found over at Patti's shipyard? A hurricane Ivan damaged CC36. She needs a lot of work. It may be available for some restoration. We'll keep you posted on what we find out.

would love to know what you find out. At worst, maybe some good stuff for a certain CC36 if it is to be scrapped To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.comFrom: mi… [at] wahini.orgDate: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:03:08 -0500Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] FW: Correct Prop Size CC36 Reggie, That's a pretty good memory you have; your Martec folding prop is 16x10.Guess what Beth and I found over at Patti's shipyard?

She looks as if she might cost more to repair than she's (monetarily) worth, but, IMHO, far from scrap-worthy . Really, how far does a Cal need to be gone before rescue is no longer an option? I have scrapped 1 Cal-25 in Nevada, her name was "Atom" and she had participated in numerous Newport - Ensanada races. She had been under water for a long time due to a neglectful owner and her interior was destroyed along with her deck core. She became an organ donor and many of her parts ended up on my old Cal-25, "Wahini". I am currently involved with fabricating/replacing a deck beam, plywood core and chain plate bulkhead on Cal-25, "Sea Biscuit". Its a major/expensive chore, but isn't a Cal worth it? When isn't it? Where is that line drawn? Mike r good wrote: > > would love to know what you find out. At worst, maybe some good stuff > for a certain CC36 if it is to be scrapped > > > . > >

Mike, you might also want to replace the exterior mast pedestal on that 25 - especially if there were halyard turning blocks screwed into it. I have some photos. I know what you are going through. Steal the shower caps at hotels for your overhead epoxy work.

Thanks for the heads up Charlie but, amazingly, there isn't anything wrong with the mast step. All the water damage was confined to about 2/3 of the port side deck. All of the water leaked in through the chain plate access and wicked its way down the side. I can't wear those shower caps for some reason. I do have a well used ball cap that has a piece of nearly every boat I've worked on smeared all over it.
