Hi Rob, Can you send a picture of the ventilation holes on your mast? Are they in a pattern? Why only on one side?

There are about a dozen 1/4" holes on our mast, port side just below the mast collar......most times, you can feel the air being sucked into the holes and up the mast. I would see no logical reason to cover these holes under normal circumstances. And I don't think C&C would have put them there if they thought it would impair the structural integrity of the mast in any manner. Tell your friend it is not a concern.

They are an ingenious way to ensure good ventilation below. The mast acts like a chimney especially on not days. The holes suck out cabin air and it exits at the mast head. Air gets in to the cabin through the main cabin hatch and engine vents. Never had a problem with musty air below decks Cheers John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: CnC-List [mailto: [email protected] ] On Behalf Of David Knecht via CnC-List Sent: Monday, June 09, 2014 9:26 PM To: CnC CnC discussion list Subject: Stus-List Fwd: C&C question I got this from a friend who is looking for a new boat. Can someone clarify what the holes are for?

The first time I saw this, I was concerned about the strength of the section. After seeing three, however, I believe there must be a good reason for the holes. Is it a way to control humidity within the section? Is there another reason? Is it something I should be concerned about?
