I would assume the track would be for a spinnaker downhaul. But. on a 1973 boat the mast may be more flexible than the tree trunk I have. It could have been for a line to help bend the mast or to stabilize it. Mine definitely does not need either, but I have a pad eye mounted there for the spin downhaul. There should be a plastic cover in the vee berth area right under that track. If you don't plan to use the spin pole, you could remove the track and plug the holes and have a cleaner foredeck.
You do need to get some of those drink holders which hang on the lifelines to avoid spills.

Gary; My 30 is from 1973 and was raced extensively for its first ten years. Most of the fittings and lines I recognize, but, I have a track with a car running down the foredeck. The spinnaker poll has only one bridle for the uphaul. Not sure what that track helped control. I mostly solo sail with guest that wish I had a power boat so their drinks wouldn't spill. I don't think i'll miss it but was interested in it's function.

My 1980 version had a dorade vent with scoop in that opening. I mostly race, so remove the scoop because it hangs up various lines - spinnaker sheets and so forth. I reinstall when I want venting for the chain locker. There is a small indent for an anchor line in the deck at the forward end of the anchor locker lid. I keep the anchor in the locker until I am ready to deploy.

Hello, I have a 1973 30mk1. It came with what originally I assumed was a plastic covered opening for a dorade or inspection port in the bow for the V-berth. But in climbing all the way forward to check the running lights, I found that the deck opening was just forward of a bulkhead up there. So, it appears that the opening was there for the installation of a Hawspipe. The bulkhead created the space for a chain locker. I've seen other boats with hooks that would hold a dansforth anchor across the bow pulpit.

C&C 30 (1974) Hull ID CCY302860574 Any ideas where I might locate the "optional anchor roller and anchor locker" to purchase for this boat? In the current design, apparently there is no anchor locker. Curious how others are solving this problem. (When I bought the boat recently, the anchor resided in the starboard lazarette.) Thanks for any suggestions. Tom
