Hello C&C list:
I subscribed to this list a long time ago when I owned a 1978 C&C 34. Not
sure why I unsubscribed, but it’s good to be back.
I now sail a 1976 C&C 42 Custom, only six of which were built. (These
boats were a less expensive sistership of the original Baltic 42.) I’m
restoring the boat and have a molding problem. A piece of molding that covered
an exposed bulkhead corner is broken, and the broken piece is missing. (Based
on the location, it was probably broken when the mast was stepped.) The
molding style can be referred to as “bulkhead” molding or “cap” molding, but it
looks more rounded than molding available today. Worse, the track in currently
available corner molding pieces is not oriented the same way. Instead, it
appears that molding makers have gone to “edge” molding for this application,
which in my case would be “outside edge” (assuming I could get the correct
radius). However, an outside edge piece of molding will not look like it fits
with the existing molding used everywhere else on the boat.
Before I start looking for a woodworker to make a very expensive piece of
corner molding, does anyone know of a source for the molding that C&C used in
the 1970s? Please advise. Thanks.
