I looked at a few C 25 Mk 2's before I bought my Mk 1.
Some of the early C 25 Mk 2's had an issue where that arch over the door in
the cabin supports the mast step. I believe there was a recall to reinforce
the area and then at some point in the production run a design change.
With an extra
I plan to install a Ram swing mount to the inside of the bulkhead adjacent to
the companionway on my C 25. This will allow me to see my Garmin while I'm
sailing but stow it out of the way when the hatch boards are in place. Having
removed and reinstalled an old instrument from the bulkhead,
I have the bottom of my 25 Mk1 down to bare gelcoat. I figured now is a good
time to replace all the thru hulls including the old knotmeter and depth
transducer. These have not been functional since I've owned the boat. I've
gotten by with an old hand-held Garmin GPSmap 76. To be honest,
I didn't start sailing til my early 30's. I started out in Tech dinghies,
cat-rigged 12 footers. Dinghies are a great way to learn. Things happen fast
in a dinghy. And since you're the ballast, you really learn to balance the
boat. But they require a certain level of fitness and
My 25 Mk1 has folding doors which separate the V-birth from the head, and a
curtain to separate the head from the main cabin. I replaced the curtain,
slides and slider track. The slides and slider track are RV (as in camper)
items. You can find them online at places that supply RV parts.
The only issue I'm familiar with particular to the C 25 Mk2 is the support
under the mast in the cabin. While the Mk1 had a substantial beam running
across the top of the bulkhead to support the mast, which every Mk1 owner has
banged his head on a hundred times, the Mk2 did not. I'm told
I "upgraded" the traveler on my '73 C 25 Mk1 a few years back. The car
didn't move freely, and neither did the pin stops. I agree, you need the

That is really interesting because I've had my '73 25 heeled over to 40 degrees

difference? Drains are port-to-port, stbd-to-stbd. At some time in the life

Ed,
The 30 Mk1 had a similar rudder shape to the 27 Mk1 and Mk2. There is quite a
bit of information on the C 27 site about the rudder and several owners have
replaced them with the Mk3 type rudder. You might find some information there.

Good Old Boat is a good old fashioned print publication. It's a pretty good

since about 2004, and bought all the prior issues on ebay. The magazine has
only been published since about 1998. I will admit,
If there is an RV (camper) store near you, try there.

The track starts so high because the boat originally came with roller reefing.
The luff of the main sail at the tack is cut back so that as the main sail is
rolled about the boom, the bolt rope would roll in contiguous turns rather than
pile up on itself. This also requires the bolt
