1. A tiller autopilot is your best choice to secure the tiller. A piece of line is cheaper but not as functional.
2. Windward sheeting is a racing thing to put the grinder on the high side. I never do it, but YMMV. 3. The ¾ Ton Special is about the least "single handing friendly" boat made by C&C in stock condition. They were designed for IOR racing with 6-8 people on board. As you get to know the boat you will find many ways to optimize and rationalize the layout for easy one person operation. Not sure where you are right now, but I bet you can get a C&C Lister to come out sailing if you have a cold beer on hand and help you out or at least drink your beer. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Burt Stratton via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 8:56 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List rookie questions Now that I have put sails up for the first time on my little salvage project I have a couple questions. The folks on this forum have been very patient with questions like these so thanks for that in advance. While single handing: 1. Any suggestions or tips on how to secure the tiller if leaving the cockpit becomes necessary? 2. Is it acceptable practice (or best practice) to route the working jib sheet to the a winch on the windward side of the cockpit? I have so many winches near the cockpit my assumption is that it is set up for single handing but I don't know what to do with them all. Two are used for the quarter stays. All I do with them is release them to get them out of the way when reaching or running anywhere downwind. Skip 1974 C&C 33 ¾ ton Portsmouth, RI
