I just bought my fist boat, it's a 1975 C&C 25 mk1. Some wet core. Turned out to be not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I have done a few repairs on sailboats before so I was ready to tackle the challenge. Hopefully everything turns out ok. Lots of prior neglect from the previous owner.

While I think this appears to be a nicely equipped and well maintained boat, I think the owner is overly optimistic with his asking price. We bought our boat in 2006 for half that price and it was a well maintained, fresh water, one owner boat. Sure would like to hear any and all comments on

Switch to a high quality ablative bottom paint. Then you can take the residual paint off when you haul out every 3 years or so and have the bottom pressure washed. Rick Brass Imzadi C&C 38 mk 2 la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1 Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@

Reemphasizing what Dennis said. Torqueing the keel bolts is the key! Belle had a smile when I bought her in '94. It didn't really get fixed until the haulout in 2002. I did part of what Bill Bina did, in that I used my trusty Dremel to open up the smile to a v shaped groove about 3/8" wide. Then

The 25 is a very dry boat, perhaps because of the deck stepped mast. My 25 has never had an automatic bilge pump - only the Whale Gusher that came OEM. Originally the ice box drained into the bilge, but I have routed the ice box drain to a small hand pump next to the sink (which means no water or s

You can debate this all you want, but they are unsafe for standing rigging. The manufacturer agrees. They do not work the same as Sta-lok and Norseman. From the Quick attach instructions: Quick Attach™ Installation Instructions & Information
