The original main sheeting would not allow to trim the main for close hauled sailing. If you don't plan to move it to cockpit, think about running two separate sheets ( port and starboard). This would allow you to bring the boom to the centreline ( or even higher, if needed). Otherwise, it would always be a bit below.
Marek Gary Nylander via CnC-List wrote: The only suggestion I would have is to consider genoa tracks. The reason is our C&C's are rather 'fat' boats and sheeting the genoa to the toe rail gives us a wider than optimum sheeting angle for the genoa. When I got my 30-1, I (had been to a couple of seminars and was loaded?? with knowledge) I calculated the sheeting angle for the genoa was about 12-13 degrees and my impressive knowledge suggested it should be around 10-11. Thus, tracks. This gives you the opportunity to unhook the genoa and run it back to the rail when you want the best angle for reaching, thus increasing the tasks you can get your faithful crew to do. If you are cruising and are not dedicated to the highest possible pointing angle, then disregard the above. If not, then drill a bunch of leaky holes in your deck and have the drips come down inside...

I have a C&C24, but don't know what might be different from the original. Halyards to winches on the cabin top at the cockpit, no genoa track (but simple to adjust for whatever foresail I choose with blocks clipped in to 2" or so increments in the aluminum toe-rail. One improvement (I don't think they were original, but who knows?) are the Barient self-tailing winches for the main sheets (nice improvement!). Teak grab rail on the cabin, split back stay with adjuster, home-made boom vang (not well thought out by previous owner). From the brochures on Stu's site http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ it looks like, as Chris said, the early models had halyards to mast base, not so on later models where they go to winches on the cabin top, at the cockpit.

That change improved dramatically trimming of the main, even if some complained that the traveller was getting in the way of getting into the companion way. There was a good picture on the boat for sail in BC (?) just a week or so ago. Marek (ex.

Some of the added hardware may be a big improvement on the original as many of the older C&Cs came with hayards led to mast base, no boom vang, no backstay adjuster, no genoa tracks etc and many boats have been upgraded to run lines to cockpit and added very necessary sail and rig trim adjustments Mike From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of chris hulett via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2015 3:20 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List C&C24 I have a C&C24 that I recently purchased and it needs a lot of work.I have striped everything off of the deck and in the process of fixing all the fiberglass , when I've finished I will start installing all the deck hardware and lines, it looks like over the years the boat owners have added extra hardware . I'm wanting to get this boat back to original hardwsre and lines , so if anyone has pictures of how a C&C 24 should rig I wold live to see them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
