Seriously, I would have every expectation of a C&C 35 MK I, or most of them for that matter, to be self-righting unless the hatches were open. We have been rolled to about 90 degrees by breaking waves more than once and popped right back up. The 35 would - IMHO - be more self-righting than many newer types of boats with about a 50% ballast ratio and narrow beam.

There was no intention to cause you grief. Ishmael & I were having a bit of fun poking at the noob. Of course you've looked at potential flooding in a knockdown, computer modelling makes that a given these days. If you were part of AG's crew I would have given you a "Hurt Feeling Report" to file by now. How about posting the stability curve on the website? I can guess that she looks more stable upside down compared to my 1972 35 model. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 east side, Vancouver Island
