Interesting that you mention the ~ 1976 redesign of the rudder. I have looked
at various rudders from I think a 1972, 1976 and 1980, as well as pictures of
the rudders on C&C 30 for sale. They have looked basically the same, the
swept back scimitar shape.
What does the high aspect ratio rudder look like? Does anyone have a picture of
one? The redesign was mentioned in a few articles including from the cnc
archive.

Good morning,
This is my first entry on the cnc-list. I have 40 yrs. of sailing experiece;
mostly on Petersons.
I am presently without a boat and have been looking at older C&C 30 mk1's
(1973-75).
There are several for sale in my area; asking price about $16,000.
They seem to be well built and in good structural cond. Most have diesel
engines.
My only real concern is the rudder design (swept back, scimitar shaped)..
Does this design cause excessive tiller pressure when reaching in heavy air?
How is it for steering when backing into a marina?
I see that in 1976 they redesigned the rudder. I have not seen a decent 1976-78
mk1 for sale in my area yet.
Do you think I should forget the 1973-75's and wait for a 1976 or later one?
I am looking at boats in this era because they are affordable to me.
Thanks for any replies.
