I knew you pulled in...then you disappeared. That will not be acceptable
next year. I really wanted to see your boat! :)
Seriously though, glad you could get to Block. Looking forward to next
time.

Been thirty five years since I bought a new one. I would be very careful
putting unusual weight on the mast. It's the only C&C in which I've lost my
mast. Top half snapped at the spreader.
The mast was built extremely light to allow quick stepping and unstepping.
Uses an a-frame.

I'm looking at purchasing a 1980 C&C 40 that has been out of the water for
2 seasons maybe 3. As I understand it, this is a cored hull boat and I'm
trying determine the extent of moisture in the hull.
I've read that taping 6 inch square of plastic freezer bag on the hull in
various locations and
Replacing Edson pedestal steering cable and chain:
Edson has a great website that shows how the cable crosses inside the pedestal
so the rudder goes right when you turn the wheel right.

I just talked to one of the owners. He has been to the top of his mast to do
work. He weighs in the area of 170lbs.
I wouldn't recommend doing any acrobatics while up there though.
Hope that helps.

Edd, They are 7 feet long and 7 feet will give you extra. If the kit you buy is
9 feet you can cut them off. I was in the North Channel when mine went in a
storm. The nearest replacement was 200 miles south so we used the spare genoa
halyard cable and come to think of it, I haven't replaced that
We have two at the club, ill ask the owners.

Jerry and Karen at Good Old Boat had (have?) a Mega that Jerry was trying to
get rigged for trailer-sailing back when I worked for them. I remember him
talking about how light the mast was; maybe that's the issue? Makes sense to
make it easy to step/unstep for the whole trailerable thing.

From Haarstick documenttion they seem to recommend rolling them:

Most sailmakers will offer you a very reasonable clean, inspect and

Here's a good article on Winter storing your sails yourself:

My extra sails used to be under the bed until my wife kicked them out and they
are now in the shed. They are flat, dry, and out of the sun. Unless you have
old cotton sails, that will do.

My theory:
1. Make sure they are completely dry.
2. Fold or roll them as you prefer.
3. Put them in their bags.
4. Store them anywhere
They are plastic and will not go bad. The big enemy is mildew.

Edison makes a kit with the chain and wire made up. The wire is extra long they
Suggest you cut it back and use cable clamps(never Saddle a dead horse). Its
kind of Expensive and the chain never wears out. Last year I just spliced on
my own new SS cables And crimped the cable instead of using
