What size propane cylinders? The setup I have in my 35 MKII can only accommodate 5 pound tanks, one on each side.Do you have the tanks in an enclosure that has a bottom drain with overboard discharge in case of an accidental propane leak?

As Bill mentioned, for a boat that's supposed to be stiffer than the average C&C (http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/stability.htm), we do pretty well in the light stuff. Ours has two LPG tanks on either side of the helm seat. Only one is connected at a time. The other is a back up. From my experience on other boats I wouldn't be so quick to remove the CNG. It's a nice way to go, especially since it's already there and NG is lighter than air. Is access to places for refill an issue? Re: sea trial, one option is to put monies in escrow to cover issues until you do get the boat in the water and running. For reference, here's a facebook page I set up for crew and projects: https://www.facebook.com/#!/CelebrationRacing Pete From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of William Hall Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 9:09 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 37 advice We just bought a 1985 C&C 37 this summer. It is truly a delight to sail. It handles a big blow and swells well, but it still can ghost along nicely in light air. Very well balanced helm. The location you describe is where our lpg tank goes. Top flips open and tank, solenoid etc are in there. What year is the boat?

The obvious place to locate the tank is in one of the lazarette seats aft of the wheel. Unfortunately, though the seats appear to be opening hatches, the opening when viewed from below appears to have never been cut out. Has anyone else dealt with this? Am I missing something? I'm not going to be able to sea trial this boat, though I will have a thorough survey done. I ned to know that she will be as much of a delight to handle under sail as all the other C&Cs I've sailed; the 27, Viking 33, 39, etc. Just looking fro some reassurance, here.
