Joe:
Among the file of boat cards on Imzadi is a coaster from the bar at the National Yacht Club, and written in on the back of the coaster is the information on Siggy's Dancer. When I met him on his way south to Florida, he was thinking about taking the Thorny Path south to Puerto Rico and the BVI. It really is a small world after all. The 30 mk1 really is a very capable boat, Curtis. Not as roomy as my 38, but built like a tank, and pretty stylish to boot.

Curt: There is a boat Called Siggys Dancer out of the National Yacht Club in Toronto. He was the winner in all of his races and then he sailed her to florida. The only thing that he did was re inforce the knees for the chainplates. If the photos are still up on the Photo album have a look there > I have a 1979 era 30 and it is a really stiff boat. Every time I reef I end up taking it out as the wind changes. I usually sail her with a 135 genoa in heavy air. I have a Gennaker with a sock that is easy to fly and douse . The Shark a 24 ft hinterholler design and part of the C&C family sailed to Australia with a family of four. There is a page called sharkbites and the story is on there .Have fun with your boat and as long as the motor and rigging is sound go have fun with it .

You have a better boat than the advice you were given, unless your boat has suffered some specific damage. In good shape, I can't think of any boat that is both suitable for "off-shore day sails" and more seaworthy in any significant way. -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com]On Behalf Of Curtis Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 10:24 AM To: CnC-List@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List C&C30 MK1 5' draw on the keel? New to this boat, I have been told that it is not a good choice for off-shore day sails. That it may not be a safe boat. Well here is the thing. I have been over the last year in some good puffs and this boat seams very capable of handling 30 to 35 wit the correct sails and reefed properly. She handles the chop in the Port royal Sound on the fetch as well. rolling seas off the coast of 5 to 6 she takes of the nose and still stays dry? With her deep draw and stiff build one would guess she was a capable boat? Have any of you been an a long trip in a 30MK1 if so please describe the experience. A blog would be great. Just trying to learn all I can about my new old boat. Thanks Capt, Curt -- "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."
