A couple of rudder thoughts to add to this discussion. One is that the early C, like the original 1971 rudder on my 30, used mild steel for the webbing on the SS rudder post. Once water gets in there and the steel rusts, you can add rust expansion to the ice expansion to destroy the thing -

Niagara Nautic, later reborn as Aztec Yachts, was started by my wife’s late husband, Henk Zwart and Henri Adriaanse (along with silent partner Jay Dubbeld) in the mid 70s. You know about Henri already. Henk worked in the development shop making molds with George Hinterhoeller at C before this.

Patrick and Kari, You are correct that a paint roller will recreate the factory non-skid. I had great success blending in many places where I had rebuilt the deck of my old wrecked 30. It was a few years ago so exact details escape me. I used white Marine-Tex as its consistency was about right

Randy, the 30 is definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Once you add in the right size of ocean swells, you can move the bow wave back to the shrouds and surf at well above 12 knots - have done so more than once on a broad reach and even wing-on-wing in a storm out on the Atlantic. Rich

Years ago I decided that I wanted to keep the original Beclawat portlight frames for the larger portlights on my C 30 rather than having custom long ones made. To me, their proportion looks just right on the boat. I didn’t like the 1/8” acrylic however - not very robust for that size of port. I

Greetings all, Back in the mid 1980s I briefly ran the rigging shop at Hinterhoeller Yachts where l learned a nice way to permanently secure conduit inside Nonsuch masts. I used the technique very successfully on my C 30 about 26 years ago and it’s solid as a rock. Forgive me if I’m repeating

Randy, The design drawings for the boat were done late 1970 to early 1971, so I suspect that the boat went into production late summer or early fall of 1971. It makes sense that both of our boats were built in late 1971, mine in November (N). Not sure how to explain the discrepancy in your HIN

Hi Randy, I removed the builder’s plate when I rebuilt the back end of the boat 26 years ago and it was pretty ugly so I didn’t reinstall it. However, I found it in a file folder - and it says this: CC 30 9 71 N . Whatever was on the transom was long gone due to old damage. I completely
