There is a couple on a C&C 39 that post a vlog "Sailing Doodles" on youtube. Been following them for over 6 months now. Entertaining and informational as he keeps them going and solving issues that come up while cruising.

Used that for half the trip until it was too light (<8) and then used my raymarine wheel pilot. The wheel pilot isn't supposed to be used with my heavy boat but it's done fine so long as It's pretty Calm or motoring. Also have a tiller pilot that I mount straight to the spokes on the wheel, that works great for calm conditions too and is very cheap. I'll try and write a bit about all the projects; Autopilot systems Solar & batteries Steering system rebuild Propeller Ssb Interior rebuild Windlass/anchor Bimini Engine overhaul (yanmar 3gm30) Missing some other stuff but It took 5months non stop to get ready Thanks!

What kind of wind vane do you have? I saw it in the pictures but couldn't recognize the brand. I take it you don't have an electric autopilot and used that exclusively? -Patrick S/V Violet Hour, Seattle, WA '84 C&C LF38 On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 7:28 PM, Adam Trackracer via CnC-List < cnc-list at cnc-list.com<http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com>> wrote: > Thought you guys might like this, me and my girl are sailin to the South > Pacific and beyond on our 1973 C&C39, took me a while to find a 39 > (favorite c&c) I'll post projects and picks, ask me anything, peace. > > Svblackwatch.wordpress.com<http://Svblackwatch.wordpress.com> >
