Don't know about the OEM hatch for your 29, but I have the following Bowmar 
Seabreeze hatch for sale:
$350.00
Brand New never installed Bowmar Seabreeze Deck Hatch worth double asking!
extruded anodized aluminum frame, smoked acylic lens
Cutout 19 7/8" X 19 7/8"
Flange OD 22" X 22"
Spigot 15/16 (extends into deck)
Lid OD 23 1/12" X 23 1/2" X 2 1/2" high
Ventilates even when closed, locking levers, support struts.

I was going to install it in my old San Juan 28, it was exactly the right size 
for it, but never got around to it before I got 2'itis and bought my C&C 33.

PHRF-LO (Lake Ontario) has done a study of Flying and Non flying ratings and
the spread between the two is adjusted for each type of boat.

PHRF-LO has made a lot of changes to try to make the completion fair ... for
instance in 2012 the add on for a fixed 2 bladed prop out of aperture was
adjusted from +3 to +12.

The PHRF-LO Handicappers Manual is available online to anyone that is

Part 2 of the manual includes the adjustment factors that are used.

It's interesting to contemplate the notion of fairness in a competition replete 
with random inequalities and more inconsistencies than constants. Cruising 
sounds a lot more rewarding and less stressful than handicap racing these days. 
At least for an old duffer:)

Nope, but I would bet money it is from Atkins and Hoyle as they provided 
hatches for many C&Cs. Measure it and check their web site...

In my case, my final decision came down to two C&C 38's. Boat 1 was in 
incredible condition but was equipped exactly as it came off the yard in 
1976, no upgrades, no extras, and basically no sails. Boat 2 was equipped to 
head out to the Caribbean for a couple of years of cruising, instruments, 
water makers, wind generators, etc.... I decided to buy boat 1 for about 10 
g's less because I didn't want to maintain a bunch of equipment that I would 
not be using for many years. At some point, I have a strong desire to be 
like Wally and pack everything onto the boat and head south for an extended 
journey but that is too far down the road for me to justify the work of 
trying to keep all of that stuff working. In 10 years or so, I'll either 
spend the money to upfit my current boat or I'll go shopping for a new boat, 
who knows what the market will be at that time.

As a competitor who is hopefully going to be entered in the event that you are 
talking about..... I would suggest that you pick a number, 12 or 15(it doesn't 
really matter) and go with it. People who have the crew and equipment to fly a 
spin are going to fly it and people who don't, won't. Make them feel like there 
is some equity and they will come. As for me, If I can assemble a crew that can 
fly a chute in the predicted conditions, I'll be signing up as a spin boat. It 
will make very little difference to me if the adjustments give me an advantage 
or not, that's just cover for the trash talking at the post race party!!!!

  I would lend my support to the +15 seconds to their spinnaker rating for 
non-spinnaker boats (unless an allowance was already given for asym only).  The 
PHRFNE standard is +12 seconds, but it is not usually enough on windward / 
leeward courses.  I'd think +15 would be good for you considering the distance 
race format.  We had a Wednesday night fleet in Boston where you could check in 
as spin / non-spin depending on your crew for any given week.  It all worked 
out OK with the PHRFNE +12, but generally the spinnaker boats won.  I don't 
want to offend anyone, but boats sailing with spinnaker were more experienced, 
better prepared and better handled than those without, so I think the right 
performance won...  Our fleet varied from Farr 40 with professional crew to 
J/22's.

    However, for overall winner determinations, a +15 seconds per mile 
adjustment to the rating when sailing non-spin has been used in some local 
distance races in order to award a winner. This seems to work reasonably for 
our club racing--after all this is club racing and our PHRF certificate costs 
all of ~ $20 per year!

    However, I have also raced in events where a combined trophy was awarded 
where there were spin, non-spin and cruiser fleets. In these events, sometimes 
the overall award was given to the winner of the most competitive class.  IIRC 
this class was defined as the class in the fleet whose corrected times were the 
closest or with the smallest spread. Presumably this means that the first boat 
in this class had to work very hard to stay there.

    This may not work in your case but it is another way to combine the 
fleets--whether it is less arbitrary than a single number adjustment is another 
matter.

    I help out with a  local charity regatta called Pirates on the Pungo.  
http://www.piratesonpungo.org   We are planning to do a couple of special 
trophies this year, one of which will go to the C&C sailboat that finishes 
first in the long pursuit race on the first day of sailing. While we plan to 
have both spin and non-spin classes for the PHRF boats in the regatta (with sub 
classes to keep the competition fair for all size boats), we want the special 
awards to span both spin and non-spin.

    NCPHRF, unlike some other regional PHRF groups,  does not grant different 
spin and non-spin ratings. And the PHRF base ratings that we use for a lot of 
the casual sailors presume a spinnaker.  

    So we?re thinking about creating an adjusted  ?NON-SPIN? rating for the 
boats in the special trophy groups that will let them compete relatively fairly 
with the spin boats in the same special group.

    I?ve been told that one of the clubs in Oriental, NC adds an arbitrary 11 
seconds to the NCPHRF spin rating to get a ?non-spin? rating ? regardless of 
the size or type of boat. That doesn?t sound like it would be fair to the 
smaller boats like the 24, 25, or 27, and it might be generous for the larger 
boats like my own 38 or Charlie Nelson?s 36XL.

    During the past couple of weeks there was some discussion of how various 
clubs and local groups calculate a ?non-spin? rating that lets all boats race 
in one class. I seem to recall one message that indicated 10% or 15% of the 
normal rating was added for a boat racing non-spin. But I think there were 
other methods, too.

    So the question for the wisdom of the list is this: What is a fair way to 
adjust the normal PHRF rating (which presumes a spinnaker) for a boat that is 
racing non-spin?

    Thanks for your input.

James, that is what we have discovered in out Wednesday and Saturday series. 
Those who have the crew can take advantage of the increased performance of the 
spinnaker and the rest do what they can.

Once in a while, particularly on our 30, we (even though we have the crew) will 
opt out of the spinnaker if there is some wind to play with. First, to reduce 
the drama, second to realize that on a broad reach or downwind situation we 
will be going near hull speed with our huge genoa (a 30-1 has a 13.5 J 
measurement, so the foot of the genoa is 18 or so feet!) poled out, so trying 
to get another half knot on a short course is just too much trouble - it 
interferes with the snackticion....

But, as we race in mostly light conditions, we (assuming more than 3 people) 
fly that thing.

  We used to have fundraiser regattas where the boats bought seconds.  That was 
always fun.   To stimulate giving, sponsors donated stuff.  Buy a bottle of 
Bombay rum, get 21 seconds, etc. 

  We raced Touche' at a PHRF rating of 333 one race.  Cost me a ton of $$$ and 
we didn't win but it raised a bunch of money. 

  As to your original question, it's a fundraiser.  Boats should be FUN RACING.

    I help out with a  local charity regatta called Pirates on the Pungo.  
http://www.piratesonpungo.org   We are planning to do a couple of special 
trophies this year, one of which will go to the C&C sailboat that finishes 
first in the long pursuit race on the first day of sailing. While we plan to 
have both spin and non-spin classes for the PHRF boats in the regatta (with sub 
classes to keep the competition fair for all size boats), we want the special 
awards to span both spin and non-spin.

    NCPHRF, unlike some other regional PHRF groups,  does not grant different 
spin and non-spin ratings. And the PHRF base ratings that we use for a lot of 
the casual sailors presume a spinnaker.  

    So we?re thinking about creating an adjusted  ?NON-SPIN? rating for the 
boats in the special trophy groups that will let them compete relatively fairly 
with the spin boats in the same special group.

    I?ve been told that one of the clubs in Oriental, NC adds an arbitrary 11 
seconds to the NCPHRF spin rating to get a ?non-spin? rating ? regardless of 
the size or type of boat. That doesn?t sound like it would be fair to the 
smaller boats like the 24, 25, or 27, and it might be generous for the larger 
boats like my own 38 or Charlie Nelson?s 36XL.

    During the past couple of weeks there was some discussion of how various 
clubs and local groups calculate a ?non-spin? rating that lets all boats race 
in one class. I seem to recall one message that indicated 10% or 15% of the 
normal rating was added for a boat racing non-spin. But I think there were 
other methods, too.

    So the question for the wisdom of the list is this: What is a fair way to 
adjust the normal PHRF rating (which presumes a spinnaker) for a boat that is 
racing non-spin?

    Thanks for your input.

As said either aitkens & Hoyle or bomark .... Look at Lewmar for a replacement 
if A & H don't have one...  Measure the inside dimensions from below and check 
their catalogue. When I replaced ours the Lewmars actually fit better than the 
bomarks I removed .

Our 29-2 had a Nibo forward hatch. I think a Lewmar 60 is a drop-in
replacement, same as it was on our 35.

Since the advice has been so helpful, I am going to move to the next step.  
Perhaps this is becoming a group buying decision!  The broker sent me the 
survey they had done before taking the boat in trade in September.   Turns out 
the surveyor is one of 3 that I contacted about surveying for me and had not 
heard back from yet.  I am not sure how this affects my doing a survey, but he 
did not do a thermal imaging scan as was recommended by Joanna and David and I 
will likely hire one who does, as it seems a worthwhile investment with the 
cored hull.  There were a few things in the survey of note:
**1.  There is elevated moisture present in the starboard side deck starting 
from the spreacher (??) blocks and running forward for 15?. The deck was 
thoroughly sounded and found to be solid. No repairs are necessary at this 
time, however the area should be monitored annually with repairs undertaken if 
conditions change.

**2.  Both sides of the rudder have voids present between the outer skin and 
the core material of the rudder. The areas measure about one foot in width and 
about three feet in length. It is recommended to have the rudder repaired in 
the off season after it is thoroughly dried. 

3.  The engine would not achieve a wide open throttle when the transmission was 
put into reverse on several occasions. An inspection of the max propeller was 
undertaken with no issues noted in its operation. It is recommended to contact 
the propeller and transmission manufacture to find out if what if anything is 
out of order. 

The second does not surprise me as I had a similar issue with my previous C&C 
34 and would request that to be fixed before purchase.  I am not sure what to 
make of the first and third.  Comments?  Thanks- Dave
