My 1980 version (#593) has six wedges at the partners. They are about 1 1/2 inches square and have a taper on one side which is about 3/4 inch at the bottom and stops half way up where it is about 1/2 inch in from the side. - look a bit like a "J" - and are about 4 to 5 inches long. Mine appear to be oak. One is in the front of the collar, one in back, and two on each side.

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 Kevin Deluzio 1980 C&C 30 Kingston, ON, _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
