Thanks Aaron, Gary, Michael, Ryan. That optional equipment list didn't show any options for interior doors. Interestingly, however, it did show an option for a boom vang :)
I will assume my boat either didn't come with a door between head and v-berth, or the door was removed and not replaced by a former owner (I can look for evidence of that). I'll probably want one and fabricate one - add that to the project list :) Cheers, Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Brown via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: "Michael Brown" <m...@tkg.ca> Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2016 10:38:37 AM Subject: Re: Stus-List Early 30-1 Interior Doors I have a C&C 30 "77" model year. >From my HIN ZCC304531076 I would guess it is #453 laid up October 1976. I have the sliding door and after a few years of ownership the PO dropped off the folding door that the PPO had removed. At haulout, so no mast and most stuff removed the crane weighs me at 8500 - 8800 lbs. Some of the C&C specs claimed 7,900 lbs which may have been possible stripped out, one battery and tiller steering. I think in race trim carrying stuff like flares, anchor and rode, #1 - #3 - spinnakers, spin and whisker pole .... I would guess 10,000 lbs is reasonable. Also - from your other post on boom vangs - the early C&C 30 have a very low boom so the mounting angle needs to be considered. The distance on the mast from the gooseneck to above the mast collar is pretty minimal. Most boom vang installation instructions suggest a minimum angle they should be mounted at and that usually isn't possible on the early 30s. I have an Easykick II installed that works OK and does support the boom ( a racing requirement ). Downwind we use it to control boom lift, and upwind it is useful for setting depth and twist. I would recommend installing one, doesn't have to be fancy or expensive. I very much doubt given the short distance on the mast it operates over and the stiffness of the mast that any significant mast bend is generated. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1 C&C Sailors- I noticed the owner of C&C 30 MK1 hull #1, Rick Bushie, is on this list. It's awesome that boat is still sailing, and that her owner is in this community. The C&C 30 MK1 hull #7 I just bought has a sliding door between the salon and the head, but no door between the head and the v-berth. Some of the C&C 30 MK1 brochures (I suspect later ones) show a hinged door between salon and head, and a folding door or double hinged doors between head and v-berth. Does anyone know if the door(s) between head and v-berth were an addition in later hull numbers? Or maybe my boat's doors were removed by a former owner and never replaced. Thanks in advance. Also, Rick, what is the displacement of your boat? Sailboat data.com and the brochures show 8000 pounds. But the previous owner of hull #7 thinks it's higher, like 10,000 pounds. I'll measure her precise displacement by differencing truck scale weights of loaded and unloaded trailer after I launch her this spring, but just wanted to check with you.
