Burt The keel on your boat looks much more modern than that in the specs. That said “more modern” is more of a late 70’s very early 80svintage so is possible that it came that way I suppose. The keel on the line drawing looks a lot more like a C&C 33-1

It is unlikely that someone modified the keel, but it is not unheard of. Better chance that there were factory options.

The specifications for my boat show it having a draft of 5’6”. (This is a 1974 C&C 33 ¾ tonner). I bought (used) jack stands for her winter stay in my back yard based on that. I just had her delivered and found out my stands are too short. I was able to recover gracefully from that little faux pas with the help of my yard who were willing to trade for the correct size. After the dust settled I did some measuring to find out where I went wrong. Having just been hauled she has a well-defined water line. I measured the actual draft and found it to be closer to 6’ 6”. Is it possible that the keel was either extended or replaced by a PO? Do owners do such things? It is still a fin keel but I noticed it has a different shape than the shape shown on the C&C specifications document for the boat. The specifications are for a custom ¾ ton but could there have been optional keels available? I will attempt to attach a pic. There is real experience on this list and your thoughts are valuable. Here is a comparison of the silhouette from the specification drawing a sailboatdata and a pic of the actual boat. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLanZwZUsxeE1PaE0/view?usp=sharing Burt On the hard in Walpole, MA _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 8551
