Before taking it off, try a thin paper and do a pencil rub over the plate. Sometimes that can produce a line or two. Ron Wild Cheri C&C 30 STL

To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Date: Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 8:18 PM Calypso was built at Bruckmann’s and was launched January 1970. The plate in the cockpit does not show any trace of a number from the front but I will check the back when I pull it off to paint. Calypso’s original transom was modified in 1974 (for better IOR rating) and a number from RI was molded in that is now used on the state registration. The USCG documentation number is on a wood block just inside the companionway. Below is some info Rob Mazza posted on the cnc-list back in Dec 2012. I sent this earlier with the drawings Rob included but they are held up by the cnc-list server owing to the large size. If you want to see the drawings check the cnc-list archives at the web site. Note the Marine Museum C&C Collection reference. You refer to this boat as a C&C 25 Redline. Is this a C&C 25 or is it a Redline 25? As the drawings below show, they are distinctly different boats. I built Redline 25s in my first summer working in the Custom Shop in 1968 before there was even a C&C, and the cockpit drains were located in the aft cockpit bulkhead and, if I remember correctly, drained straight out to the transom with two hose barbs and a short piece of hose connecting them. How we managed to connect the hose to the barbs in this tight inaccessible space, I can't remember. However, the system was pretty straight forward, with no seacocks or gate valves, because it was all above water. The C&C 25s had I believe conventional cockpit drainage at the forward end of the cockpit through gate valves on thru-hull fittings below the waterline. However, once you identify which 25 it is, I again reiterate that all the drawings for these boats are in the C&C Collection at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston (http://www.marmuseum.ca/) , and are available for purchase, so if there is any doubt about any feature on the boat, it can be readily rectified. Martin Calypso 1970 C&C 43 Seattle From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Marjorie Gwyneth Green Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 3:12 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List C&C 25 Redline Hull or HIN Number? I have recently bought an old C&C 25 Redline. I cannot find the Hull or Hin Number. I had assumed I would find it on the transom, but no luck. There is an almost unreadable plate at the centre of the transom stating that the boat had been built by Bruckman Manufacturing of Oakville Ontario . I have emailed Bruckman Manufacturing (now of Mississauga Ontario ). Mark Bruckman replied, but said they no longer have any records of that period. ANY HELP PLEASE!
