Hi Jimmy
I am impressed with your sailing experience that you share with us here.
Seems to me that you were there with C&C from the beginning...did you work
for the company in the early days?

pulling the thermostat allows you to winterize the engine on the hard, and
rapidly, with a gallon or two of antifreeze (assuming she's raw water
cooled). I do this every year.

I think the inner sail is the staysail, then the jib and the outer is the

OK for you history types, I know the inner sail is the jib, and next the flying
jib, but what's the farthest out jib called?
Also, the v shaped sail in the area between the mainsail gaff and the mast;
what's it called?

Only thing I can add is that I would never run tap water through an engine. I
try to always use distilled water antifreeze mix.

Your antifreeze should be fine if your engine has the typical heat exchanger .
With the heat exchanger, raw water is drawn from a thuhull and a strainer and

Most of the plumbing antifreeze that is sold around here is mainly denatured

Bernard,
I can’t answer for the T-stat issue, but as far as fogging is concerned I use
fogging oil. It comes in a spray can and a single can will last a long, long
time. It works on both diesel and gas engines. It is far more precise than
pouring oil into the carb.

I have both my switch and pump mounted to a stainless steel plate. It's "L"
shaped and secured with two screws at the top of the bilge. It's easy to
remove. No more stretching to reach a couple of screws in the deep bilge on
the 35-3.

I decided to winterize my boat myself this year rather than hire someone to
do it. I tried to follow the instructions in the manual for draining the
engine and putting in plumber's anti freeze. I did this by loosening the

Maybe your marina would rent them to you? Especially if they have extra and you
will returning next year.
Love the plan to get the boat home. Wish I had done that with mine. Not to save
money, but to have it close to work on, take measurements, etc.
