Hello to all, This is my first post, I've been reading the posts for a few weeks now. I'm looking to buy a sailboat in the mid 30' range, and the C&C 35 has caught my interest. What kind of speed does the boat have in light and medium winds up to about 20-25 kts?  I assume already that this bo

Alera was a lake boat. So, when we brought her out to Seattle we had to remove the VC-17. The folks as Seaview as well as the Interlux fellow all warned that the silicon in the VC 17 makes it necessary to take the hull down to gelcoat. I was also advised that since there may be some penetra

Dwight, I don't know if this is design related, or mis-use related. I think this latest issue was a manufacturing fault (the void in the mast step). I think my prior core issue was maybe also manufacturing related. There were no obvious penetrations through the fiberglass on the interior or ext

Hi Joe thank`s for the input. The MFJ-4416B seems to be a really good idea to solve the voltage problem. I`m using a LDG tuner, a little bit modified, but in general something like the SGC. For your 10m problem ... the problem is that on an antenna you have voltage and current waves and th

Good advice from Bob, but this bit is wrong: "If my memory is correct, you have about two weeks after applying the 2000E to apply your antifouling paint.After that, you have to sand the 2000E. We applied 2 coats of Micron CSC over the 2000E." You should put your first coat of antifouling on

Edd, whatever product you choose, read the instructions carefully, but more importantly follow them. Applying Interprotect 2000E isn't rocket science but it is labor intensive.and to get 10 mils thickness on a 37'er, it will get a bit expensive. When we bought our boat in the Spring of 20

I would recommend the barrier coat to anyone who has had their boat's bottom cleaned down to the gel coat. Peace of mind and a real plus for resell value. I never had a blister, but were given the opportunity when changing bottom paint type in 2007. The only hard part is the prep, so if you've d

Edd, I soda blasted last spring and used Interprotect 2000E. I used almost six gallons. Alternating gray and white makes it very easy to show where you've covered the hull for each coat. I had blisters. Lots of small ones, but some ended up larger than expected. Several were a couple inches

I am not aware of any C&C boats that ever had blistering (osmosis) problems, at least around here.maybe there are more such problems in southern waters.so I can't justify the effort and expense of the Interprotect system.maybe if I ever did a total bottom paid removal I would consider going overboa
