Bill Coleman C&C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Steven A. Demore via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2019 9:58 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Steven A. Demore Subject: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help I had my C&C 30 MK1 dismasted yesterday to do some work on it. The boat came with no wedges in the deck collar, so I made some one day, just to get through summer. While taking down the mast yesterday, I asked the rigger what kind of wedges it should have. He said he wasn’t sure whether C&Cs came with wedges, or a metal spacer. Does anybody know what the factory used to support the mast through the deck? Also, while I am at it. Any suggestions on anything I should be checking on the mast? I’m replacing the wiring, going to LED lights, replacing all of the running rigging, new blocks and sheaves, and checking out the step. The boom has the internal blocks and wire for tensioning the foot of the main, but I don’t know whether that is accessible for maintenance or not. One last thing. I was planning to mount steps (the triangular aluminum ones) on the sides of the mast. The rigger recommended against it because of the number of holes in the mast. Anybody have thought on whether a series of small holes (1/8, 3/16??) would weaken the mast? Thanks, Steve
