I'm new to cnc. I should mention that I have never owned anything bigger
than a two man dinghy until I bought a 1979 34 CC ( Hull No. 175) so I'm

have lots of questions and only a few answers. Websites, books and forums

antifreeze and I have a garden hose with a fitting that attached to the fresh

After 10 years experience, mostly on Lake Superior, with our 30-1, I can
say it handles wind and waves better than most in its size class (which is
why we bought her). Went out in a a small craft warning in September, got

Congratulations on your purchase! I am in a similar position although I have
relatively extensive power boat ownership experience. When it comes to
winterizing they are very similar. The standing rigging being the major
difference. I see many owners here keep their rigs up over the

(about 110 / 120 apparent). If we had been able to bear off I'm sure we

Practical Sailor has done a couple reviews regarding antifreezes. Some
things I was unaware of, are that the -50° antifreezes can still get slushy
at ~0°. The freeze/thaw cycles can stratafy the coolant and then leave you
with pockets of water that can freeze. Also the -50° antifreeze may have

For whatever it is worth, here is my list:
- change oil
- change oil filter
- change (check?) fuel filters
- change transmission oil
- clean and drain the strainer on the fresh water cooling intake
- drain the fresh water side of the cooling system and replace with RV
antifreeze (EG or PG?)
The 33 mkII also has a fairly flat hull bottom section, almost from the back of
the keel forward. I understand that it helps a lot to keep a good heel angle to
prevent pounding going upwind. But in short waves IT WILL BANG whoever is at
the helm. I'm even thinking about reinforcing the front
Raced on a shoal draft 30-1 in the Chi-Mac race when the wind kept building up
to 25-30 kts. We sailed a close reach and were at hull speed; a Peterson 34
had a lot of trouble passing us to windward.
Raced a fin keep version on Carlyle for a couple of years; it pointed better as
expected, but
That flat area forward of the keel on many 70s and 80s CCs, including my 40,
was there as a way of fudging an IOR measurement point. The purpose was to make
the rule think the boat was slower than it actually was. The boats do pound if
you motor straight into waves, but heeled the hull presents

I've been going to the BVI’s in November for the last 6 years- I’m going on the 17th. - It rains most days for 5 mins ; winds are 15 - 20 knots guaranteed; 30 deg C during the day ; 29 at night!I've never had a day when I've not sailed - where else can you say that?
Here's a great guide for those of you who are new to racing, or those who would
like a quick reference guide.

All this talk of flat fore sections and after sections reminds me of the
ultimate flat bottom boat experience.
In the Navy I was stationed on an old LST (the kind with the doors and ramp
in the bow). These LST's had a totally flat bottom for landing on shallow
beaches.
In big seas (10-15+) we
I'm even thinking about reinforcing the front section of the hull
laminating a grid from the inside because I think there is a lack of
support there and it flexes too much. I was able to notice the flex last
summer in the choppy conditions of the Northumberland strait. Any comment on
that project

I go with Conch Charters in Fort Bert Marina, Road Town.
They take the boats from Sunsail and Moorings when they are 5 years old, so the
boats are older and a bit more used. But I’ve never had any problems.
Last year we chartered a 52 ft Jeanneau (brand new - we were the first to
charter it)
A few years ago I stripped Touche's bottom to apply a barrier coat. I
noted vertical cracks in the skin out (matte) coat once the gelcoat was
removed. The cracks corresponded to bulkheads in the fore section. I have
added fillets to the original right angle tabbing for those bulkheads.

Another positive experience from Garhauer Marine. Sent my main sheet traveller
to them after lost some ball bearings, don't ask; they replaced all in
traveller, replaced all in the blocks too, no labor charge, just cost of
bearings and shipping. This is on a 1999 traveller car.
Very happy.
Adding my Garhauer story to the list. My CC34+ came without bow chocks so my
large double anchor painters had nothing to lead them to the cleats. Garhauer
custom fabricated a set of stainless steel chocks with bolts welded to the
bottom positioned to match the hole pattern of the toenail. I
Hi Curtis,
When I crossed the Atlantic with my CC 30-1, I had hope that I would be doing
much more downwind than what I got. I almost crossed twice on windward.
A couple of observations on the behavior when going to windward in rough
weather:
