A long interval between posts, and a busy summer, but I did find time last
weekend to create a new storage space in Windstar. Am pleased with the result,
a surprising amount of space available!

Sidney,
Congrats on C 24. I have had one now since '16. We've been racing the
heck out of it, too.
I have done many many things. If you want to chat, email me offline at
d...@ellmore.net. I will provide you my phone number and we can setup a
good time to call.

1976 C 24
From my past experience (I had a 1974 model):
- there is no really option for a holding tank in that boat. We had a marine
“porta-potty” (installed permanently with the pump out attachment (it would be
illegal in Ontario otherwise)). A larger capacity model fits, but you sit very
high.
On our previous boat, a C 27, we mounted a small flexible solar panel to the
companionway hatch, and had a small controller wired to it, along with a
battery combiner. It was sufficient to keep a Series 27 and 2 batteries from
powered wheelchairs charged. I used those same batteries for going
Sidney,
1. If by canopy cover, you mean bimini, suggest you look into local canvas
shops and sailmakers. If you’re in the New York/CT area, I know a great outfit
in Mamaroneck.
2. Amazon is a great resource for solar and controllers.
3. I would forget about AC on a 24 — but little battery fans

1. Do you mean for storage or to sit under while on the boat?
2. Amazon has WAY better prices on solar panels and controllers than West
Marine. That is where I got mine.
3. There is no way you are going to have air conditioning except at the dock,
but 12 volt fans are nice to have. Likewise a
Hello,
We just purchased a 1980 24ft C sailboat.
There are things that need to be repair and to update.
I am looking for some advice on upgrades I like to do with it and the best /
cheaper cost to order from.
1. Canopy cover for the cockpit
2. Solar setup for weekend trips
3. AC / heat / fan
My tricolor and anchor masthead combo light is from Marine Beam. I’ve never
noticed an issue and have used my VHF pretty extensively at night while the
tricolor was on.
Something to keep in mind for sure though. Thanks for the notice.
