Hi Dave, We've really enjoyed owning our 35 Mk III. I think you've covered the majority of the model-specific risks (we're reinforcing the mast step this spring). One other area to check (for deck leaks and possible movement) are the chain plates. They are tied into the settee backs, which are then connected to knees glassed to the hull and the main bulkhead. There's probably an inspection plate in the settee back where the chainplates attach, but you can see the knees through the settee back lockers without much effort.
Good luck! Tim Mojito C&C 35-3 Branford, CT On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 3:28 PM, David Castor via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello - first post here.
