Interesting that you mention the ~ 1976 redesign of the rudder. I have looked at various rudders from I think a 1972, 1976 and 1980, as well as pictures of the rudders on C&C 30 for sale. They have looked basically the same, the swept back scimitar shape. What does the high aspect ratio rudder loo

Hi Ron, I have a C&C 30 1973 (hull built in 1972) with that exact rudder. Yes, there are some weather helm, especially on a reach with a tiller. When I purchased the boat in 2000, I noted that an earlier owner bolted a piece of wood in front of the rudder to increase the compensation by adding sur

My boat is a big version of the old C&C 30. I have noticed no issues in reverse with my rudder. I rarely use my tiller, so I can't really tell you about that. I used to use the tiller in the rain so I could sit under the dodger, but then I got an autopilot. Like any boat, if the helm is a wrestl

Welcome to the list, Burt, and congratulations on your new boat. There's information about window replacement on the web site cncphotoalbum.com, under the heading "Do it yourself." You can make your own. I used 9mm, #126 bronze cast acrylic. (Plexiglass is a brand name.) Cast is stronger than ex

This is the first time I've heard that the earlier 30-1's had a different rudder design - I have a 1980 version and the keel and rudder are shark fins. The scimitar does give you some weather helm when reaching in heavy air, but by then your rail is in the water and you should be reducing sail a

The primary reason is to have a 'fail safe' point on the keel stepped mast in case the loss of standing rigging. If the mast was going over it would not open up the cabin as badly. I agree the ventilation is a great bonus. Leslie On Wed, 6/11/14, R

Hi All the hatches and windows in my 1974 33 foot ¾ tonner are in need of replacement. All are smoked plexiglass. It looks like they would be easy to fabricate using the old ones as a template. Is that a reasonable assumption or would it be smarter to just try to find the parts and order them?

Agree on the effect of “warmth” in the main cabin. We had excess Ultra-suede from our new cushions project and the upholsterer took a length of it, added thin foam backing and velcro to close it around the mast. I mention the foam because a previous poster mentioned damping the sound of halyards

The mast holes were made by C&C at the factory to aid in ventilation. There are about a dozen 1/4" holes on our mast, port side just below the mast collar..most times, you can feel the air being sucked into the holes and up the mast. I would see no logical reason to cover these holes unde

mast wrap warms up the cabin because it lowers heat loss? Interesting. Been thinking about adding one for halyard sound-muffling and aesthetics, but hadn't thought about warmth. Warmth matters on Lake Superior... Nate "Sarah Jean" 1980 30-1 Siskiwit Bay Marina Cornucopia, WI On Tue, Jun 10, 2014
