The cushion for the settee on my c&c 33-1 fits nicely on the outer side wall of 
the quarter berth cant remember if the wood reinforcement goes up or down but 
it fits much nicer one way than the other.

I replaced my ports with beckson opening ports and all i had to do was take out 
a little of the rounding in the corners  length and width were perfect

Subject: Stus-List New to me C&C 33

I have purchased a 1976 C&C 33 MK I that had some fire damage (due to a fire on 
a neighboring boat) to the outside of the starboard side of the hull. she is 
floating but dirty all around. I am planing on doing  a modest restore on her. 
I am not looking for perfection but for a nice fun to sail boat that I will 
also live on. The previous owner was kind of a down to basics kind of guy. No 
shore power, no real electronics hank on sails. his daughter said that they 
tried to talk him into self tailing winches, and he said "what do I need self 
tailers for? I have you to tail the lines!" Has lots of sails, and the rest of 
the boat appears to be pretty good. So the plan is this winter clean up the 
interior, get shore power set up and some sort of heat so I can spend at least 
weekends on board working on the boat. I have her in a winter wet storage slip 
and the everything is winterized except the engine. she has the mast down and 
winter cover frame is up. Once I am in the final "winter slip" I will winterize 
the engine. Once the weather warms up enough I will have the boat hulled and I 
will do fiberglass repairs and paint the exterior. So a couple of questions:


1.) First and really simple, where is the cushion for the double bunk supposed 
to go when not in use? I don't see any simple locations. I have moved it as 
there is a bit of deck leaking over that settee. 


2.) There was some damage to the side of the hull, and the neighboring boat's 
mast came down on the cabin top. There is some cracking on the cabin top, soft 
side deck and both of the fixed ports are damaged. 


Obviously the ports are long off the market. I see a couple of options

make over-sized ports and surface mount to the cabin top sides both sides. 
(likely least expensive)

Get all new opening Bomar Gray 6X23 inch ports. Looks like they may fit, has 
anyone installed them?

Get two bomar ports and move one of the existing ports over and have two fixed 
and two opening ports (saves some money but the lenses on the existing ports 
are not great and looks like someone has tried to stop leaks with caulk, so may 
just be full of frustration)


3.) Where can I find out the fiberglass layup schedule? I want to duplicate it 
as much as possible. I have read that they used unidirectional roving on the 
boat. My plan on the hull side is to put a few layers on inside just to hold 
the shape, then from the outside to grind down till I get to good glass and 
build back up from there. On the cabin top and side decks I plan on cutting off 
the top layer of fiberglass and replacing core  and re-glass. Then paint the 
topsides and deck with one part paint and call it a day. 


Good news is the boat has a Atomic 4 that runs like a champ! Made the 25 mile 
trip from storage yard to new home without a hiccup.
