Cool to see some activity here from C&C 33 mkII owners and congrats Bradley on the new boat . 2015 will be my fifth season with the boat (previously own a 29 mkII) and this boat is amazing. Very easy to sail fast, tracks well so fairly predictable if caught overpowered. I have the '87 "millesime" so the mast is from Offshore spar and is very nice to work with. I would be interested to know what kind of upgrades and modifications other owners have done on their boat. You can reply in private if you prefer. I try each year to put some love and $ in my boat to make her stronger, faster and more comformtable. This year i plan to laminate a reinforcement grid in the flat area of the bilge in front of the keel, (i think this part flexes too much in heavy sea), new rudder, clean the fuel tank, change the hoses (fuel and exaust), change the shaft, new PSS, new cutlass bearing, engine compartment isolation, new speedo, new spninlock rope clutch for halyard. the boom is in the basement for maintenance of the sheaves. Will check bushings at the same time. and i'm having the navtec backstay rebuilt, an other time... I want to change my jib sheet and i would like to know the smallest size that could still work well with my Barient 24 ST?? Pretty much the 2015 to do list. Thinking about changing the headstay this year too, maybe go with Dyform... but i think i will wait one more year, my list is long enough. Bruno Lachance "Bécassine" C&C 33 mkII New-Richmond, Qc.

Congrats, Bradley, great boat, I bought my C&C33 MKii two years ago. Yes, the sheaves are grooved for wire halyards. I elected to keep the wire halyards because the rope size works better in the clutches and self tailing winches. You may want to check the sheaves bushings for wear; I replaced the bushings in my sheaves with oillite bronze from Princess auto. My instruments were also trash so I put in a Raymarine speed/depth/ wind package, very nice and economical. I have made many upgrades in the past two years; feel free to email me off list if there is anything I can help you with.
