Mashnee systems

This is an exhaustive list of Mashnee's various subsystems.

Rigging

Standing Rigging

Running Backstays

Running Backstays: 55', 1/2" double-braid

Running Rigging

Main

Main Halyard: ~75' 3/8" cored line spliced to ~45' 14' single braid (lengths approximate)

Main Sheet: 90', 9/16" three-strand

Shallow Reefing Line: 50', 3/8" double-braid

Jib

Halyard

Sheets: 58', 9/16" double-braid

Roller furler line

Spinnaker

Halyard: ~130' 7/16" cored line with pelican hook. (Length approximate)

Secondary Halyard: ~90' 7/16" cored line spliced to ~33' 1/4" single braid, ending with 6' cored line. (Lengths approximate. Thin section is a hazard as it can jump out of the halyard block sheave and jam.)

Top-Down Furler line: 50', double-braid

Sails

Sails Kept on the Boat

Mainsail

• Sobstad mainsail, new 2021 (only really used 2022)

Headsails

• working jib (<100%)(~2008)
• 135 (~2008)
• 140 (new 2022)
• 165 (new 2022)

Spinnaker

• code zero (white sail in Doyle bag)

Machinery

Power Train

Engine

40 HP Volvo D2-40 diesel engine. Installed: 2008.

Propeller

2 blades Gori feathering propeller.

Fuel System

20 Gallon diesel fuel tank.

When the tank is full, the fuel gauge reads "F". When the tank is 10 gallons down, the fuel gauge reads "E". The gauge seems to be non-linear and should not be relied upon for accurate measurement of the fuel tank.

Fluids and Filters and Impeller

• Engine Oil: 15W-40
• Engine Oil Filter: volvo penta 3840525
• Racor Fuel filter: R12P
• Engine Fuel Filter: Volvo Penta 861477-8

Thru-Hulls

• Thru-Hull Diagram

Electrical

12-volt

Electric Wiring

These two documents were provided by Mashnee's restorers:

• 12V electric wiring diagram

• Electric system description

Batteries

Two batteries run through a battery switch. Batteries are both house and engine; no distinction possible with current wiring.

Solar Charging

Yes

Chartplotter MFD

B&G Zeus 3S WIFI: B&G Zeus 3s streams both NMEA 183 and NMEA 2000

• Zeus 3s: SSID: <zeus something…>
  • PW: S4XGzxx9
  • NMEA 183 stream 192.168.76.1 port 10110
    • Streams AIS targets and instrument readings

Wind

B&G WS310.

Depth Sounder/Log/Water temperature

ST200 speedo and temperature Echosounder for depth

NMEA 2000 network

There is a standard NMEA 2000 network with most connections behind the false panel in the aft-most port cupboard (above the ice box). There is an additional set of connectors in the forward compartment just to port of the mast. There is one free port at the mast.

Radar

B&G Broadband 4G Radar

AIS Transponder

• Vesper Marine XB-8000 Class-B AIS Transponder. As of Aug. 2019, it is installed behind the VHF in the forward compartment. The WiFi network and password are written on the unit.

To connect to NMEA 183 stream with AIS targets: 192.168.15.1 port 39150

Radios

Fixed VHF

• Uniden UM525 Fixed Mount VHF Marine Radio
• Owner's Manual: File:Uniden UM525 VHF Radio.pdf
• MMSI Number: 338236803 (assigned via SeaTow)

Magnetic Compasses

There is a magnetic compass which is placed in the starboard lazarette. When it is deployed it is mounted on a small brass rail at the foot of the companionway. The two wires plug into the bottom of the sailing instruments box.

Note, this compass cannot be trusted. Compasses do not take hard knocks well, and there is no guarantee that its placement is not in a magnetically pathological location. This compass can be used for relative heading hold, e.g. maintaining a number. However, the absolute values are not to be trusted at all. [KDS]

Galley

Stove

The stove is an Orico-style alcohol stove. Alcohol does not burn as hot as propane so it takes longer to cook.

To operate the stove, remove the wooden plate and place it above, where the metal underside will serve as a heat deflector.

The top of the stove needs to be open to reveal the metal canister underneath. There is a black rubber disk which seals the canister and keeps the alcohol from evaporating. Remove this.

Ensure that the stove dial is turned to the on position, and then the stove can be lit with a lighter or match.

The stove is extinguished by turning the dial fully off, and then replacing the rubber disk and the wooden cover.

Ice Box

• There is a sump under the ice box to collect the meltwater. This sump can be emptied via the salt water foot pump for the sink if the cross-flow valve underneath the sink is switched. The valve has a pointer on it and the pointer must point up (12:00) for sump drain and to the right (3:00) for the salt water intake.
