In following this thread, and for the new owners out there....I recommend taking a look at the C&C photo album specs; for many of the models, it seems that the early designs used the external "strap" hinges which the first poster asked about; then somewhere in the late 1970s or early 1980s, C&C quit using external hinges and began using the piano hinges, thus accounting for the differences in the specs...this is easy to spot if you go to the old advertisements for any model, (on the photo album)...there one can review the photos and see whether the boat has strap hinges, or if no strap hinges are showing, then presumably piano hinges;
In general, there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from reviewing the old ads; one can see the same ideas used in multiple designs, but tweaked or adapted...its also your roadmap to why your boat sails as well as it does...the emphasis is on performance, and then creature comforts.. I have often been amazed that the layout and interior designs for most all of the models are traceable back to the first boats in the late 60s, early 70s... ...and a Merry and wonderful Christmas to all on the list!

Three cockpit lockers, the lazarette, and the anchor locker are all stainless piano hinges. Mine have loosened up over time and I have had to repair and tighten each of them. Adding some epoxy filler really helps the small screws get a bite. Jake Jake Brodersen C&C 35 Mk-III “Midnight Mistress” Hampton VA
