Somewhere, sometime ago I did find instructions for the gauge. The key
was to find the correct diameter steel rod for calibration. I did find
the correct rod but it is on the boat. The big thing that I use it for
is to balance the tension from side-to-side. It works for that.
Your boat is only 8 SN's fro Dennis C's boat. He will be able to give
you detailed advice from his experiences. Our boat is SN 7 and is
George Cuthbertson told me the first twelve were all different in one
way or another as C&C figured out how they wanted to build them.
I'll be up to the boat in the next week or two and will get the rod
diameter for you.

Thanks for the info. Boat was purchased in 1971 and I believe it is
S/N 75 (serial number plate shows CC-35-75-71).
Home port is Northern Harbour, on Lake of the Woods by Kenora, Ontario
Canada.
Since you have the same tension gauge and same C&C 35, do you have
instructions or specs on how I should use the tension gauge?

We replaced our traveler with a Garhauer Marine windward sheeting
system. Sent Guido our old track and Garhauer match drilled the new
track to fit the hole pattern that existed. Easy replacement and
works great.
BTW, we also have the same tension gauge in your pictures.
What is your hull number and where are is your home port?
You will find this list a great source of information.

Getting my 'new to me last fall' C&C 35 mk 1 ready for spring
launch and am looking for input on the traveler track width (see
pic in attached dropbox link) and what the purpose is for a tool
that I found on the boat (see pic in attached dropbox link).
From the traveler track picture you can see the tape measure shows
1 3/8" wide (disregard the metric side of the tape, us Canadian's
eh!). I'm looking to upgrade the traveler car, add some end
sheaves to allow easier adjustment, etc but can't find anything
for a 1 3/8" wide traveler track, only 1 1/2". Am I misreading
the measurement, or what? I really don't want to replace the
whole thing. Any input welcome!
For the other picture of the tool / alignment tool if anyone can
enlighten me what this is for it would be appreciated. Cheers.
