I think the 35/2 designs used Plexiglass, but I have seen one done with teak veneer.I did not like that.the 35MKII already has enough teak in the cabin.Your 35/3 as I am sure you already know has many significant differences from the 35/2, and the 35MKII has a lot of significant differences from the MKI. I think the 35/3 is a Rob Ball design and I am reasonably certain that the 35/2 and 35/1 were Cuthbertson designs, just based on when the various designs were built. Yet they are all called C&C 35's but in my mind the different C&C 35 designs are actually more like different boats altogether. One can only hope that things got improved with time, but the company tried to stay profitable in a market that got more competitive with time so some changes were probably adopted to reduce cost of production yet they wanted to keep the C&C 35 name because it had made such a good impact for the company. I believe all 3 designs perform very well and their handicap ratings supports that.I chose a 35MKII for many reasons but the MKIII was high on my list as was the 33 MKII. I like C&C boats and I have owned 4 of them during my life. I used the sailing calculator on the C&C site to help in my decision and I feel the results it predicted were quite accurate. MKI's and II's usually list for slightly less than the MKIII's, but that was not a determinant for me.simply put I preferred the outward appearance and sheer lines of the MKII, classic Cuthbertson, and the fact that it had an attached bustle which gave it over 30 feet water line length.bustle was a bit of a rage in some AC boats just a few years before I got Alianna and I liked the way the interior was finished, lots of real teak that must have taken the marine carpenter an incredible long time to built. The MKII also has greater displacement.I figured those extra pounds must have increased production costs so I felt I was getting "more boat" for my money. I found one in Maine that had been repowered with a 4 cylinder diesel, came with lots of sails and had a white Awlgripped hull.it was very dirty but we got a good deal, cleaned her up, new upholstery and more sails (main and 135 furler), new Raymarine ST60 instrument pack, chart plotter (she came with radar), new Dodger and other canvas, new upper shrouds and a lot of new lines.she's a beauty now and a beauty so sail Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: November 15, 2012 11:40 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Headliner access panels Alex, Go sailing already! :). The access panels are vinyl over plywood (matches the rest of the headliner) and the long ones are screwed, the smaller ones use velcro. I'm going to try removing the vinyl and reusing it over either plastic or new wood to maintain the original look. When that fails, I'll go to Plan B. 3M makes a spray, Super 77, that works great! I used it for a cockpit cushion and pedestal cover.

These are suffering from old age and are yellowing etc and in 2 cases are cracked and now that my deck work is done, I am proposing to replace them all, so are you saying in the 35-III These are normally plywood glued and/or velcroed in place? Does anyone on this list with a 35-II have what I described? Dwight what do you have? BTW, these only apply to original equipment deck installs. In some areas where the P.O. or I put in newer hardware, we had to go through the core and I ended up using SS backing plates I polished and fastened with cap nuts. Just polling the list.
