Edd Mine has been jammed up for at least 4 years. Always say I should find a travel lift and RR&R the centre board. Just doesn't seem to be worth the aggregation.
Don't miss it, but I would never glass it over. Way back when I was looking for a boat there was a C&C 37 K/CB for sale around Annapolis that the owner applied torpedoes to the keel and removed the CB. My broker really want me to look at it to satisfy his curiosity but I didn't. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Edd Schillay <e...@schillay.com> Date: Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 10:26 AM Subject: Re: Stus-List Now Boat Names To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Dwight, Initially, I was very enthusiastic about owning a keel/centerboard model -- better pointing upwind, less drag downwind. The process of lowering and raising the board is quiet and it's great to have some control over how much you can have down there depending on wind strength -- Then, I joined this list and heard some horror stories about the cable breaking and the board doing (uninsured) damage to the keel. So each year, I have my bottom cleaners lower the board and check the cable. So far, each year (8 years running), they have said it was fine, but I dread the day where I have to replace the cable ($$$). Now that I'm transitioning to a more cruising-oriented sailing lifestyle, I have been playing with the idea of just glassing it over, forcing it to always remain in the up position and never having to inspect or maintain the cable again.

And thanks on the spelling of Q's name; most powerful guy on any Star Trek episode I think. Would Dave mind if you called him Spock just while on the boat, that would sort of fit with your theme. Are you pleased with keel centerboard, never had one so I don't know much about how they sail, only what I read here sometimes. Is the drop part noisy with movement when down and under sail?

It's a Keel/Centerboard model. As for exterior labeling, I figure if you're going to name a boat Starship Enterprise, you might as well go all-out with the graphics. As several on the list will confirm, the back of the boat says: ENTERPRISE - NCC-1701-B - NEW YORK, NEW YORK PLANET EARTH ALPHA QUADRANT As for the interior cushions -- say good bye. We FINALLY got rid of the "Golden Girls" floral print design and now have a soft light brown microfiber - Will take some pics once they are installed. As for the race crew, we have our own crew dynamics and the roles have evolved on their own. My First Officer is my foredeck guy and crew boss, Dave. However, usually running my mainsail is my friend Kurt who I have known since third grade. Kurt is a computer programmer for Morgan Stanley and, amazingly enough, can calculate Time on Time standings in his head while on the course at any given time. And, while we do always call him by his name Kurt, he is often referred to by others, going as far back to age 8, as my "Spock". PS - His/Her/Their name is "Q", not "Cue" All the best, Edd Edd M.
