Hi,
I’m in the first year of owning a 1980 C&C 30 Mk1, (- love the boat -)
and I have a couple questions that I am hoping some of you may be able to help
me with - thanks in advance.
First - mast wedges
The boat came with about 3 or 4 wooden wedges about 1” x 2” x 4” that
were wedged between the mast and the mast collar where it went through the
deck. They were falling out most of the season. I am told that the original
design had 4 wooden wedges that countered the mast to fill in the entire
360degrees around the mast. Is that true? What is a best way to replace these -
Spartite ?
Second - hatch lens replacement
The V-berth hatch lens was cracked and leaking last season. I have
removed the lens and plan to replace it myself. Hoping that the supplier can
cut the new one to shape using the old as a blank, or I have access to a
bandsaw to do that part of the job. What’s the best material for this -
Acrylic? Any advice from others who have done this job before?
thanks
Kevin
