Am replacing genoa sheets but uncertain of correct size. Currently use ½
inch but seem a bit oversize. Plan to get Sta set or similar with soft
shackle. What size do other 34 / 33 owners use?

I selected 1/2 inch for the genoa sheets on my 34. I am sure 7/16 would be
adequate, but I like the larger diameter for hand tailing (we don’t have self
tailing winches).

They are using Novabraid ropes (great stuff). What i did not like there (at
Cajun) is that the online options are limited. I was buying halyards, so it
mattered a bit. Eventually, I had a local shop (Marine Outfitters) do my lines
(end splices, halyard shackles) using the Novabraid ropes. I

Strength wise, you could even get by using 3/8”, but it may not grip in self

I would not do this. Not because of electrical reasons, the thick wire running
forward can certainly carry a few amps of solar power, but for safety reasons.
That wire is probably fused at 100-150 amps or more and is – or should be –

If it was head gasket you’d see it in the oil. If cap leaked you’d see it in
bilge or smell it. Heat exchanger hole just pumps it out with no tell tale

There is a way to add keel bolts with the keel in place, but C are not known
for losing keels in the first place!

The C smile is usually a non-issue. It is nearly always resolved by
torquing the keel bolts and cosmetically repairing the hull/keel crack.

Shawn,
I have unbolted and set aside my keel and can offer my observations. Our boat,
a 1982 C 37 came with and we sailed with, for many, many years, the infamous
"C smile.” Every year when pulling the boat out, the front part of the
keel/keel stub intersection would weep a bit of sea-water.
Also be sure your overflow tank/fittings and the ‘radiator’ cap are both
working and have good seals.

Ok, so perhaps a better question to ask - what is the recommended
maintenance (annual re-torque? I see a torque spec listed on the
CNCphotoalbum page but no other details), and if the C smile is found,
does the keel need to be dropped to fix it? This boat will be pushing our
budget a bit, so I
Double check the manual, for some reason I seem to think it is a 10 psi

When the smile first appeared on my boat, the keel bolts were so loose that
I could move the keel from side to side. In order to drop the keel, we had
to remove the mast (The forward keel bolt is under the mast). Once we
dropped the keel, we hosed out the bolt holes. There was a terrible smell
So are you saying there was a void in the keel stub on the hull? Sounds
like filling it was a good idea. So the idea of glassing over the joint is
to reduce slight movement which may be gradually loosening the keel nuts?

Thanks, this is great info. I will definitely inspect the keel bolts and
keel joint if/when we get a chance to look at the boat next. Not sure if
it's still available, but I am hopeful, as it would nice to finally get a
boat.

Glassing over just seals the joint and helps keep any flex cracks from
occurring.

AFAIK, the only thing 'special' about them is the pressure it takes to open the
valve against the spring--this value is probably pretty standard at so many
lbs/sq. in. but it would be listed for your engine somewhere.

Properly torquing the keel bolts eliminates the side to side motion (at least
it did on my 38) and the nuts stay tight. The glass is primarily cosmetic.
My 38 had the keel dropped and rebedded in 2004 after a hard grounding. The
