I seem to have some movement between the top of the rudder shaft and the
large flange mounted on the cockpit floor.
There is no movement of the flange on the cockpit floor.
I am guessing that there is a plastic bushing located in this flange that is
worn.

I removed the fiberglass hood on my 29 mk 2.
It lifts straight off the cabin top when you remove all the screws around
the perimeter.
When the hood is removed, the plexiglass sliding hatch lifts off the teak
runners and you should be able to refinish them with no trouble.
Make sure that you
I have an identical CC 29 mk 2 that I purchased in 2012.
I replaced the head the first year as it was in very bad condition.
Last year, I replaced all the hoses between the head and the tank and
cleaned out the tank.
This reduced the smell but did not eliminate it.
Earlier this year, I
Hi Keith,
I purchased a 29 mark 2 in 2012 and had a cradle made by Marine Cradle Shop
in Sutton (north of Toronto, ON).
Shipping would likely be too expensive to Calgary.
If you contact me off list, I can send photographs and dimensions.

In my personal experience, I would STRONGLY advise against rebedding your
keel in epoxy.

Lake Ontario my 29-2 hit a lump of sand that a dredging contractor had
left in the middle of the channel. Boat was motoring at 5.5

Over the last few years, I have accumulated a fairly long list of CC 29's
mark 1 and 2.
Based on the hull numbers that owners have sent me my guesses are as
follows;
CC 29 mark 1 - built 1976 to 1982 - hull numbers on my list range from 6 to
613.
Estimated number of mark 1

Hi Derek,
I purchased a 29-2 in 2012 - 1985 hull 693.
In have looked at a lot of 29-2's over the last few years.
Most do not have any signs of cracks in the hulls either below the waterline
or above.
I have seen a couple with cracks radiating out from the forward edge and
trailing edge of
Interesting theories / comments on the causes of prop walk.
You should note that on the 29-2 the prop is offset from the center line of
the hull and it is located to the port side of the small skeg leading into
the rudder.

Hi Martin,
I bought a 29-2 in the US in the spring of 2012.
The original prop (think it was CC original) was a fixed 2 blade - Federal
Sailor 14RH9.
Prop walk was bad with this prop.
In the spring of 2013, I swapped the prop for a used CDI, 3 blade feathering
prop with a 13 inch diameter.
A good friend is interested in making an offer on a 33 mark 2 centerboard
version. The boat has a Yanmar 2GM20 with a 2 blade feathering prop - 16 Hp.
This is the basically the same engine that I have in my 29 mk 2. It would seem
that the boat would be underpowered with this engine. Does
My 29-2 has a complete Harken traveller / main sheet system. I am not sure if
it is original or retrofitted by a PO.There is a wooden spacer under the low
profile traveller track. Traveller controls are end of track and work well from
the wheel when single handing. The starboard traveller
My 1985 (US built) 29-2 has a 7/8 inch prop shaft. Not sure of packing size.

I changed the OEM head to a Jabsco head on my 29-2 about 2 years ago.
My 29-2 is hull 693 / 1985 built in the US plant.
The old head was secured to the platform with stainless steel lag bolts
about 1.5 inches long.
To make the Jabsco unit fit / function properly, the following was
necessary.

Hi Bev,
Is your mainsail closed footed (foot has a bolt rope that slides in a groove
along the boom) or open footed (just a single slug at the clew)?
If it has a close foot, there is little that you can do as the friction is
mostly the bolt rope sliding in the groove in the boom.
Mine is open
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a hair line crack in the leading edge of
the rudder on my 29-2 (1985 built in the US plant)
This weekend, I sanded back from the leading edge about 6 inches in
preparation for 2 layers of fiberglass cloth to be epoxied over the leading
edge.
When I sanded back
I am about to install a Raymarine EVO 100 wheel pilot on my 29 mark 2. The
speed, depth and wind instruments are B & G Triton. Does anyone know if these 2
systems are "plug & play" compatible re the NEMA 2000 systems? Can I connect
the wheel pilot to my existing backbone cable?
Bob
I recently bought a Raymarine EVO 100 autopilot to add to my existing B
Triton speed, depth, wind instruments. The EVO autohelm integrated with no
issues ... it displays wind speed and direction and it will sail to an apparent
wind angle (even triggers the alarm if there is a wind shift).

Genco made a dodger and bimini for my 29 mk 2 last year. The dodger design is
great. It is built with fixed supports from the coaming to the dodger frame.
The dodger sides are completely removable and in fair weather it becomes a mini

On my 29 mk 2, a previous owner modified the main sail to increase the boom
height. The boom still attaches to the mast in the same location but the leach
of the main was shortened to raise the aft end of the boom so it would clear a
bimini. You wil lose some main sail area but this fix
