For running rigging lengths, I recommend Cajun Ropes. They will list
the lengths of all the lines for your boat. We bought a full rigging
kit from them last year and are very pleased. Only problem we had with
the lines was getting the lubricant off for the clutches to grip better.

Hello everyone! We are the proud new owners of S/V Storm King, a 1983
C&C 29MKII, Hull# 201. I’ve been following this thread since having
been introduced to it by my friend, fellow club member and fellow
29MKII owner shortly after purchasing our new girl last November. She
comes to us in pretty good shape from another club member who has
owned her for the past 13 or 14 years.
My biggest immediate concerns are her windows in the main saloon and
the water collecting in the bilge as she sits on the hard for the
winter. My friend with his ’86 MKII seems to experience a similar
issue. I can find no obvious source of the water, but every couple of
weeks I have to pump a few gallons of water out of the bilge. Does
anyone else have this issue and any possible leads on the source of
the water? It seems quite significant, considering. The hull/deck seal
appears to be in excellent shape everywhere that I have checked, and I
see no traces of leaks from any deck fittings. The mast boot is in
excellent shape. The foredeck does have a considerable amount of
softness around the babystay and anchor locker that will need to be
addressed in the near future, but, again, no obvious signs of
significant water intrusion to the cabin. As I mentioned, the windows
in the saloon are completely shot and must be replaced before this
season. I have done a bit of research on the Photo Album site and
understand this is not the easiest job. I hope to have the assistance
of another club member and previous owner of the other 29MKII in
replacing the windows. The boat is covered by a tarp for the winter,
so there is no water intrusion through the windows at the moment,
though there certainly will be when the cover is removed. Any advice
would be gratefully received.
I’m also in search of a wiring diagram for the vessel. I have ordered
the owner’s manual from Stu and I’m hoping I will find something
there. If anyone has a copy of the diagram they would be willing to
share, please let me know. The panel was replaced a number of years
ago, but, save the VHF, there appears to be no functioning electrical
in the mast.
Lastly, the control lines for the mainsail will have to be replaced
this year. Does anyone know where I can find a listing of the line
lengths for the outhaul, Cunningham, reefing, mainsheet, etc? Most of
the control lines are missing, with the exception of the mainsheet, so
I have no way of measuring the old lines. All I have been able to
deduce is that they are all or mostly internal. May prove tricky to
install.
I look forward to hearing from you all and your wealth of knowledge.
My wife and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to join the C&C
family as we have admired the make from afar for a number of years. We
just moved up to the 29 from our first boat, a wonderful little ’78
Catalina 25 that we completely restored. She taught us everything we
know, but now we feel like we have a grown-up boat.
Thanks in advance!
