I guess they had other ideas. My 30-1 has a dinette on the port side. Under the
forward seat, there was apparently a limber hole allowing any water from this
area to go to the bilge - but it may only be there for running some electrical
wires, as the junction block for mast wiring is under the seat - and there is a
bilge pump in the sump adjacent. I drilled another hole to allow for drainage,
as this is where my speed transducer is located and water comes in when I pull
the transducer for cleaning.
Under the aft seat, there is nothing. I tried to drill a hole for drainage, but
there is a little box under the end of the seat which has been used to store
flares, the horn, bilge pump handle for the cockpit pump, and some other stuff.
I couldn't get the angle right to pass under this box without scaring myself
about drilling through the bottom of the boat!
So, any time there is water in the area (leaky windows - spills, etc.) the
sponge comes out.
I think it is fascinating how different the various boats are - still designed
and built by the same team. The bilge of the 29 is quite different from the
30....

Jim,
I have a C&C 29 MKII (well actually I just sold it) and looking at your
pictures I noticed something that might be of interest to you. Great job
refinishing the cabin sole by the way. I did that to mine, but it didn't look
near as nice as yours. The thing I wanted to bring to you attention is that
when you look at the picture with the floorboards off so that you see the
bilge, you will notice that there is a limber hole through the fiberglass
stringer on the starboard side of the mast but there isn't one on the port
side. I don't know about you, but the water frequently came down the mast and
into the mast box but would spill over the sides and go into that void on the
port side of the mast. Since there is no way for that to drain it would
overfill and begin to soak into the bottom of the port bulkhead. I remedies
this by drilling a limber hole on the port side and epoxying in a tube for the
water to drain into the main sump. Solved the issue. I could never understand
why C&C didn't put a limber hole on that side when they built the boat.

Great pics as usual, Jim and excellent floor job. I’m interested that you
refer to the bow of the boat as south and the stern as north…..??
