Thru HullsAll the thru hulls and valves on the Cal were replaced. I don't have any pictures handy but I'll try to find some later on. The thru hulls didn't have to be replaced necessarily, but on any vessel of this age a basic refit is a good idea. Thru hulls may look ok, but later on may suddenly break off due to weakening over time and a form of corrosion. The general rule is if the threads look pink on a thru hull after removing the valve, it should be replaced. If nothing else, the cal is for sure good under water and everyone can feel a little more assured of always waking up to a dry boat.boatbum10http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498922839974171405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30663897.post-1162249648185343002006-10-30T17:06:00.000-06:002006-10-30T17:16:34.526-06:00Priming RelianceReliance's topside was somewhat scraped and scratched.

It's very similiar to the MaxProp line, though appears somewhat more robust even if less aesthetically streamlined. When the boat was launched the prop proved to be an excellent performer. It's large diameter grabs the water very well. The boat responds to throttle and shift inputs almost instantly, you can actaully feel the boat accelerate immediatly upon shifting at idle speed. Being a feathering propeller it also gives excellent thrust in reverse. Prop walk still exists but is minimal. I'd certainly recommend one of these props based upon experiences so far. Later when finances permit I'd like to add one to the Hans Christian also. Here's a few pics. In the nav table there were zerk's/grease fittings, so we screwed one into the prop (after removing the plug) pumped in grease until fresh goop squirted out around the bases of the blades, and replaced the plug.<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><p><a title="IMG_0445.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0445.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0445.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0578.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0578.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0578.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0575.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0575.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0575.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0576.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0576.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0576.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0577.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0577.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0577.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>boatbum10http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498922839974171405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30663897.post-1162247357009735682006-10-30T16:22:00.000-06:002006-10-30T16:30:46.020-06:00Cal Windows<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The original windows on the Cal 46 in the raised salon area were heavily crazed, darkly tinted, an small, allowing little light in and very limited views out. Two of the three windows on the starboard side were also badly damaged (along with part of the cabin top and trunk. The solution became replacing the old windows with new and larger pieces of bronze tinted 1/2" lexan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Original Windows<br /></p><a title="PICT0089.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0089.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0089.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="PICT0088.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0088.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0088.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="ins007.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=ins007.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/ins007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />The originals were removed one at a time, the hole's elarged, the new sheets of lexan fitted, holes drilled for 1/4" bolts (we thru bolted with finish washers outside and nylock nuts inside instead of using the self tapping screws previously employed). The windows were bedded in a thick layer of white 3M 101, applied liberally to ensure a well sealed gasket. There was squish out everywhere when the bolts were tightened, proving there was enough sealant. When installing we removed the outer proctive film layer, and cut the inner film around the cutout. This way the layer where the window sealed to the cabin trunk could be removed, but the inner portion left on until after installing the window to protect it from the 101 squish out.<br /><br /><a title="IMG_0456.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0456.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0456.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="IMG_0457.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0457.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0457.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="IMG_0458.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0458.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0458.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="IMG_0455.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0455.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0455.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p>Much greater view from inside!</p><p><a title="IMG_0461.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0461.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0461.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0459.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0459.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0459.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a title="IMG_0462.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0462.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0462.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the structural fiberglass was removed from the cabin trunk in the process of enlarging the windows. However, 1/2" Lexan is also extremely strong (actually pretty much bullet proof, most bullets or sea debris will at best only crack, not penetrating all the way through, upon direct impact). When bolted on at approximatly 4" centers with 1/4" stainless bolts to properly join the lexan and fiberglass the structural elements of the cabin should in no way be comprimised. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I'll post more pictures of all the new windows installed when I can find them on my computer. The new windows make the boat much brighter and friendlier inside. It no longer feels like walking from the cockpit into a dark dank hole. The cabin is now also a far more comfortable place to sit out of the weather and view the scenery when on anchor.<br /></p><p><br /></p></div>boatbum10http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498922839974171405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30663897.post-1159904712506783392006-10-03T14:38:00.000-05:002006-10-03T14:47:06.213-05:00Reliance Haulout<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Hauling out Reliance</strong></p><p><a title="PICT0139.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0139.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0139.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>The underwater conditions of REliance were not known in detail.

It's certainly gives performance gains under power and sail. It's large diameter bites the water well, in reverse the blades spin giving excellent backing power, and under sail it feathers out to reduce drag and increase speed by up to a knot over a conventional fixed prop. The backing power and diameter affects were immediatly noticed when the boat was relaunched and motored upriver. (the bottom has already been stripped in this photo, continue below for an explanation).<br /></p><p><a title="IMG_0445.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0445.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0445.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>The bottom had been stripped of gelcoat, blisters repiared, the bottom refaired, epoxy barrier coated, and painted with antifouling. Unfortunatly the coatings failed and were blistering again. The local coatings expert (who also owns and runs the boatyard) suspected dry times were too long between coats, resulting in an inactive surface and lack of adhesion between barrier coats. Before copperpoxying the bottom of any boat must be taken down below any previous antifouling, though barrier coats can be left. However, due to the failing coatings Reliance had to be taken down to bare glass. Fortuantly, in a way, it was easier than if the coatings had been in better shape because we were able to peel all the old paints and fairing compounds away instead of months of sanding. Most of the blisters didn't make it through to the bare glass, so the hull laminate hadn't absorbed water. Good also, because otherwise the boat would have had to have baked for a few months to reduce the laminate moisture content.</p><p><a title="PICT0044.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0044.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0044.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a title="PICT0046.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0046.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0046.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="PICT0045.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0045.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0045.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a title="PICT0047.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0047.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0047.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>The peeling devices...<br /></p><p><a title="PICT0052.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0052.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0052.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a title="PICT0054.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0054.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0054.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="PICT0057.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0057.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0057.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>After peeling we began refairing.

Since we were overcoating with a compatible epoxy based barrier coat, once the epoxy filler was mostly cured we could overcoat, and in the process gain a superrior primary bond between the two materials.<a title="IMG_0452.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0452.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0452.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a title="IMG_0450.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=IMG_0450.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0450.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Once the first coat was very tacky, we mixed up a concoction of barrier coat and a special glass flake additive to create a paste. This was then used to fill the spots again. The barrier coat paint was manufacured by Umeguard, and is marketed as an industrial coating. We used alternating colors to assist in painting and checking visually for coverage. Otherwise there is no difference between the grey and white coats. Oh, and in 95+ degree weather it takes a handful of friends to get this paint on fast enough. It sets pretty quickly. Typically tacky enough to recoat within a couple hours. We allowed no more than 12 hours between coats (overnight, and evenings were cooler than the days retarding the curing process). When we applied each subsequent coat the previous was still slightly soft to the touch, if not tacky (tacky, like glues you hair to the boat when you run into it).<br /></p><p><a title="PICT0079.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0079.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0079.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="PICT0081.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0081.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0081.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a title="PICT0082.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0082.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0082.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a title="PICT0084.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0084.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0084.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>After the next "fairing" coat was tacky, about an hour (lunch break) if I recall correctly, it was time for the next full coat of epoxy paint. If you notice the water marks, that's from a thunder storm that ran past just as we were finishing the coat. It rained enough to streak a little of the paint, but didn't affect curing as the water very quickly evaporated off. The picture below also shows the water line being taped in the background. This paint isn't simple to remove once set, so if you don't tape a waterline don't expect to get out a sander later and adjust the paint line.<br /></p><p><a title="PICT0090.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0090.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0090.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="PICT0087.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0087.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0087.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0453.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=IMG_0453.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/IMG_0453.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>More fairing.</p><p><a title="PICT0093.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0093.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0093.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>More Paint.<br /></p><p><a title="PICT0091.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view¤t=PICT0091.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0091.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>This is a two part paint by the way, it needs to be mixed fairly accuratly for predictable results (including supervisors).</p><p><a title="PICT0092.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/?action=view&current=PICT0092.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/PICT0092.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>The final coat was a particularly high solids paint.

Partner modifications<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Sorry, no pics today.</p><p>I'm living on the Hans Christian...in southern Louisiania...on the hook (at anchor). This means no utilities, particularly shorepower. I use an inverter to run my laptop and occasional other small items when absolutely necessary (power tools, shop vac, very rarely microwave). The only air conditioning on board, or actually that used to be onboard, was an old and not particularly effecient unit. Most all AC units run on 110vac. This is primarily because they draw a lot of power. Except for electric water heaters (or those unlucky souls who tote around minuature electric washer/driers for their clothing) AC consumes far more power than any other appliance. The one exception is the "DC Breeze" unit built by Glacier Air. They also build excellent refridgeration/freezer units. I currently have little money, and so do not have the 12v DC Breeze. When I'm working at the boatyard in the heat during the day, and eating and sleeping without AC, it's not all that bad. You sweat sometimes, but adjust mostly except for those couple nights a month that are especially warm. I have a few 12v fans that help significantly, though they are a little noisy and consume some power. Eventually I want to replace them with the Hella two speed units which are extremely power friendly and quiet. During the school year when I'm stuck in air conditioned classrooms all day, and commute with the ac on in the truck, sleeping without ac becomes less comfortable. Even a little to drop the temperature down to 80 or even 85 and pull 10 or 20% of the humidity out would be great. Eventually I want to add a DC Breeze unit. I'll set it up so it is possible to cool the salon down a little, but it's primary task will be cooling the pullman berth only. The smaller space the less power it takes to keep it cool. And rather than running the engine an hour or two every single evening I really want to add some solar panels. Actually I'd like to build a fiberglass hard top instead of a canvas bimini, and mount the solar modules on top. This would not only cover my usage for lighting, laptop, fans, propane solenoid, and stereo, but actually let me run the refridgeration modestly (having a well insulated icebox and a new 12v fridge unit that was installed just before I aquired the boat helps save power also), and even run the AC sparingly without ever having to run the engine to charge batteries during the summer. In winter the panels won't put out as many amphours in a day, but cooler temps mean less power needed for food coolings, and no need to run the AC. With the currently decent effeciency of12.5% solar panel modules I should be able to get 300 amphours daily in the summer without trouble. Part of this is also because new solar charge controllers are very advanced. Several units now use a form of DC-DC converter. Instead of requiring an array voltage exactly matching that needed to charge the batteries, and resisting and wasting the rest, they take in whatever voltage and amperage, or maximum wattage, the panels put out. This can be anything from 12v to 48v typically. They then convert the voltage to that which is desired to charge the batteries, so the wattage is maintained and maximum possible amperage delievered to the batteries. This is also convenient because the solar modules used don't have to match the battery bank voltage. Sometimes it is cheaper to get 24v nominal panels now because they are often stacked for larger house and landbased systems. The wattage can also be the same but higher voltages with lower amperages mean smaller wires are needed (cost and weight savings). I personally like the Outback brand of equipment. They offer true sinewave inverters/chargers (best for electronics and laptops) and effecient solar charge controllers. They are interfaceable and programmable which is a nice feature. They also feature battery temperature sensing to protect the $500 of batteries the entire boat's system relies on. The central controller unit also monitors charge amperage and total amphours so it's easy to monitor if I'm drawing off more than the panels are replentishing. <br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Wind generators are also a great invention. I happen to have an old WindBugger which works just fine...when there's wind. Problem is most the time there isn't enough wind around the Tchefuncte river to spin it at all, let alone fast enough to generate useable power. In the worst part of the summer there typically isn't even the slightest breeze (except for hurricanes, which aren't the best time to leave a wind gen out there to shed alumimum blades through the deck). They're nice, but just not practical for sitting on anchor most the time in Southern Louisiania. There also ins't much if any current so I can't use a water generator. This area is basically a windless, currentless tideless, elevationless, humid, sunfilled hole...perfect for solar.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>I could also use a diesel generator I suppose. On a larger boat or poweryacht that is certainly be a viable and popular option. I really lack the space for a diesel generator, even a compact 3kW unit. Actually I can buy the solar panels and charge controller to keep up with my usage for cheaper than a generator. And then a generator requires maintenance, parts, and fuel $ to run. It also generates noise besides electricity. Now I could use the heat output to heat potable water, but I can add solar water heating pipes and do the same during the summer without buying any diesel. And it's silent.<br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Before any of this I have some general wiring to clean up onboard. I'm also swapping my main battery bank and hot water tank. Currently the batteries are in the engine room (where it's hot and full of viberations) and the hot water tank is under the dinette seating where I'd rather it be cooler and where viberations are limited. The swap will put the tank near the engine, shortening the hose runs between engine and tank for the water heating exchanger. The main batteries will be more centrally located in the boat. This puts them closest to the main distribution panel as possible which lowers losses in wiring and reduces the cost of the new wires. It also moves them closer to the windlass and future locations of the AC unit and Electrasan sewage treatment processor. This again reduces power losses in wiring and less wire is cheaper than more wire. With the batteries under the dinette I'll be more likely to check their electrolyte levels more frequently and add distilled water than when they were wedged in the far corner of the engine room under the cockpit. This whole change also means relocating the pressurized fresh water pump. Not difficult since I'll slowly replace all the vintage 1980 copper plumbing with pexpipe anyway and routing wiring isn't a big deal. Only thing is I'll be without water or power initially. Then I'll still be without water for probably a day or two. No big deal really, so long as I get it done before I lose access to the shower at work in november and begin showering onboard full time. <br /></p> <p>Speaking of showering, the shower is in the forepeak and the hot water tank will be in the aft end. Running the shower waiting for the hot water to arrive can waste gallons. At some point I'd like to install a recirculation line an valve and a fast acting temperature gage. That way the cold water can be returned to the fresh water tanks. A temperature valve would make it easy to know when to shut the valve and get in the shower without wasting any of that preciously heated water.<br /></p> <p>Now in the winter there's less light and the sun isn't as intense, so I wont' get as many amphours from the solar array. But then I also won't be using the AC. I'll burn the lights more. However, I'm finding inexpensive sources for Luxeon LED's to relight the entire cabin. Using them I'll hardly consume any amps lighting the cabin. It actually does get cold here in the winter. Temperatures near, even just below, freezing at night for months and not all that warm during the day even though the sun is around. Staying away from shore power and diesel generators I'd still like to not freeze all winter. Last year I did okay heating the smaller boat with oil lamps and layering on cloths. I also typically studied at teh lab at school and pretty much used the boat for eating and sleeping. This winter I'd really like to keep the cabin more inviting with a diesel heater. The Hans used to have one, actually it was removed just before I got ahold of her. The closed off hole for the stovepipe and charlie noble hadn't even been fully faired in yet. If I can afford one it's the most economical and carefree way to me to heat. I could use propane, but it's explosively dangerous and I hate filling up propane bottles. I'd rather draw a daily quart or two of fuel off the 140 gallons in the main diesel tanks and fill up at the dock every year or two instead. I should also be able to add a few coils of copper tubing around the stovepipe and circ antifreeze through them and the hot water tank heat exchanger to have heated water for dishes and showering in the winter.<br /></p> <p>Being in Louisiania it's slightly humid. Actually any boat is a humidity and moisture trap. Many people use dehumidifiers and air driers, but they like 110Vac. I don't like 110Vac and the high power consumption of such inventions while on anchor. AC and a diesel heater will help remove moisture throughout the year. Still, some sources of moisture seem doomed to exist in the boat. I use a propane bbq much of the time for cooking. The rest ot the time Silent Partner has a wonderful 4 burner propane stove with oven in the galley. Propane is nice to cook on, but part of the combustion process creates water vapor. Rather than intensifying the sauna effect in the cabin I want to add a stove hood with fans. I plan to use computer cooling fans (12v and very effecient and quiet) installed in the hood I'll have to build. I'll vent out the deck, with 4" deck plates I can block off just like the dorades for the foulest of weather situations. <br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p>At the same time I want to build a teak box to house the propane tank(s) on deck directly above the galley. It will be a sort of integrated stove vent propane box combination. This will place the propane as close as possible to the stove. I will also build rubber seals into the box lid and a drain out the bottom dumping overboard via a thru hull to vent any stray gas fumes out and away. This will be a great improvement on the current arrangement, which places the tanks on deck all the way up forward. Besides the cost of running a 30' propane line, every time I activate the solenoid valve it takes 30 seconds or more before the gas actually reaches the stove. That's also a lot of line for propane to sit in and leak out of should a valve on the range ever stick.<br /></p> <p> </p> </div>boatbum10http://www.blogger.com/profile/05498922839974171405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30663897.post-1152672554354507382006-07-11T21:45:00.000-05:002006-07-11T21:50:19.853-05:00RELIANCE, a Cal 46<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>My parents boat, also aquired through an insurance auction of damaged vessels, a 1977 Cal (Lapworth designed) 46' center cockpit.

The main engine is in excellent condition, with features such as a remotly mounted oil filter, dual racor fuel filters with cockpit mounted vaccum gauge, engine driven bilge pump in case one should ever be needed, and elaborate monitoring and alarm system (if engine gets a little warm or oil pressure drops a nav station buzzer, engine room bells, and mast mounted loudhailer all notify the skipper of the condition). Even after having slept for nearly nine months the main engine fired up instantly after jumping the batteries. It starts every time with a light flick at the start button. I don't think it even makes two revolutions of the crankshaft before firing off. (Actually it starts more easily than the brand new Yanmar in the Hans, and Yanmars are known for quick and easy starting).<br /><br /></strong></p><p><strong><a title="ins073.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=ins073.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/ins073.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></p><p><strong><a title="ins074.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=ins074.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_ins074.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="ins075.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=ins075.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_ins075.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="ins076.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=ins076.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_ins076.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="Pcam4121pics011.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=Pcam4121pics011.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_Pcam4121pics011.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></p><p><strong><a title="ins073.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=ins073.jpg"><br /></a></strong></p><p><strong>The engine driven (mechanical clutch engagement on demand) bilge pump</strong></p><p><strong><a title="Pcam4121pics010.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=Pcam4121pics010.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/Pcam4121pics010.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></p><p><strong>Fuel filters, sea strainers, ancient but yet very effective (though should not be left unattended to prevent overcharging) battery charger</strong></p><p><strong><a title="Pcam4121pics007.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=Pcam4121pics007.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_Pcam4121pics007.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="Pcam4121pics008.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=Pcam4121pics008.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_Pcam4121pics008.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="Pcam4121pics009.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=Pcam4121pics009.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_Pcam4121pics009.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="Pcam4121pics006.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=Pcam4121pics006.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/th_Pcam4121pics006.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></p><p><strong>The generator, mounted in a wood enclousure to insulate the sound.<br /></strong></p><p><strong><a title="IMG_0463-1.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=IMG_0463-1.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/IMG_0463-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><a title="IMG_0462-1.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view&current=IMG_0462-1.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/IMG_0462-1.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></p><p><strong>The starter brusher were worn out, but $4.00 and an hour later it fired up.<br /></strong></p><p><strong><a title="IMG_0468-1.jpg" href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/?action=view¤t=IMG_0468-1.jpg"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/boatbum10/Reliance/IMG_0468-1.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong></p><p><strong>Main electrical panel at the nav station.

They're also keel stepped for excellent structural properties. Keel stepped masts typically fair better under emergency situations and storm damage (if it should ever happen, like if ever sailing the southern ocean in winter with 60'-150' waves) in that the mast or at least part of it will stay with the boat should the stays part. The jib and main sails are both on roller furling, the mizzen conventially raised on a track. There is also an inner forestay, I assume for carrying a storm jib. The main mast also still has tracks affixed so a conventional main sail could easily be used. A partial height secondary track is also proply mounted to handle a storm trysail. The main mast also includes steps for going aloft with a harness instead of having to deal with a bosun's chair. There are also mast pulpits to lean against when handling sails, one removed because of cabin top damage but neither bent. An accidental jibe preventer is also rigged on the main boom. Apparently the previous owners didn't want to get boomwhacked while sailing downwind in light air.<br /></strong></p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>All winches are in good condition, most still have the canvas covers on.
