There is a noticeable improvement in upwind pointing and speed with the
centerboard down and having a boat that only draws 4.5' with the centerboard
up vs. 6.5 for the fixed keel version opens up a lot of cruising in a Bay
that is very shallow.
I've had the pendent break on my old C&C 35 and on my C&C 37, but both time
were because of lack of maintenance. I replace it at least every 5 years
now and the expense is pretty modest.

I am just a wee bit curious. Did c&c put cb in these boats for a reason?
do they suck upwind without them? Do they capsize? .. or was the designer
an anal idiot that put something totally unnecessary and useless and
complicated on the boat?
Sorry Edd. I read this and just gotta ask

Edd,
I can smile and relate to your cb challenges...
2 years ago when we moved Perception to the yard for winter storage I had 2
friends help.. 1 a power boater the other a sailor, asked the sailor to
release the starboard jib halyard - clearly marked .... And guess which
stopper he pulled .. Yup the centreboard ... And the cable snapped.
We were able to hauler her and put her in her cradle for the winter. Pulled
the cable out and it was badly corroded ... Just a few strands intact so
over due for replacement. Arranged to have south shore yachts do the
replacement - and when ghey removed the pin and remaining cable the pin was
70% or more worn thru, the thimble was also well worn ...
Good thing it happened in a calm harbour .... And the admiral was not on
board.....
The new fittings look much more substantial and should out last my sailing
days!
Paul. :)

Listers,
Just curious - does anyone, or know of anyone, who sealed up their
centerboard and received a PHRF credit on their rating? I'm curious to know
how much credit was given. I've been told it can be anywhere from 3-9
points. '
Mine is getting bolted in place and sealed up for good tomorrow.
Long story, but now is the time. Read the Captain's Log if you're curious.
All the best,
Edd
