Very soon I plan to have a new to me 1985 C&C 41. Overall the boat is in good condition, of course there are a few minor issues here and there. One that concerns me a little is a broken chock on the port side of the bow casting. You can see a picture here...https://drive.google.com/a/tecniplastusa.com/file/d/1Y7UNG_UuyAtEevboTVUi-r2NAqsrE3Xt/view?usp=drivesdk Does anyone have a good source of repair or replacement information for such an item? Thank you, Chris

I went to a lot of trouble to get my anchor out as far as practical so it wouldn't hit the hull. Heavy duty roller/channel for the anchor, backing plate underneath and custom shim pieces molded to level the deck camber, five SS thru-bolts, some are angled. I pull the anchor when racing. I have a system using a 20 foot length of line and caribiner, clip onto the cross rod of the Delta head and tension that over the pulpit, then release the main anchor line and I can lift the Delta over the pulpit onto the deck. This takes minutes.

I have not pulled mine for racing because it does not fit under the pulpit so I would ahve to disconnect the chain, lift it over the pulpit to store and then reconnect if needed. One of the unexpected disadvantages of the Rocna design. That did not seem safe to me so I have left it on. I guess it would not take long to run the chain through the pulpit and rethread the shackle. Does yours fit under the pulpit?

Aren’t they supposed to be replaced every 5 years, or is it sufficient to just check that the pressure indicator is safely in the green? A related safety issue - I checked the line inside my Lifesling and discovered the splice between the yellow polypropylene line and the heavier line that is secured to a deck cleat was in terrible condition. It would likely have broken had we used it. That has not been on my list to check annually but certainly is now - just passing this along to the group. Polypropylene is UV sensitive, so it's likely the plastic line should be replaced. Is that safe (and would it satisfy a safety inspection) - if so how does one splice the plastic line with the heavier line at the end? For this year, I decided to buy a new Lifesling, although the Sunbrella cover I had made for it when purchased seems in good condition.
