Sander, For a brief period in the late 1970's, C&C had a factory in Germany. The C&C 25 is one of the models that was built there. Occasionally, I see one for sale in Germany. But your boat (1974) was built before the German factory opened. I've had my '73 25 for six years, and I'm very h

Sander, The 25 is really a great boat. You don’t have to worry about the hull, it’s very strong. Fill in the hole from the saildrive and put an outboard on the stern, they sail better this way. You will want an 8 or 9.9 hp extra long shaft (25” shaft) to try to prevent the prop from coming o

Joel If your anchor line is nylon I believe it will hold up better and last longer if it is kept wet. You could use plastic thimbles and stainless steel shackles or maybe try attaching small sacrificial anodes near the shackles and thimbles. I have a beautiful stainless steel Bruce knock off anc
