Sadly the panels are only ~20-25% efficient, the rest is lost in heat...

I have a blooper. Prior owner said he always gained half a knot when he put
it up and half a knot when he dropped it..Bill Walker Evening Star1981 CnC 36

Martin,
I may still have a Blooper from our Redwing 35 out in the barn. I'm not
sure that it is appropriate but it could be yours for shipping. There
is also a reacher, a staysail and a banana staysail out there. Our
Redwing 35 (Red Pepper) was purchased to compete in the Chi-Mac.

Doug,
I have a complete system. Four displays, 2 key pads and two working brains.
Make me an offer including shipping and it will be yours.
Come back to me to my email if interested.

Hi Doug,
Let me know if you have no luck finding one in the USA. I have one here
(in Nova Scotia, Canada) that hasn't been powered up in over 10 years so I
don't know if it will work or not.

My boat came with a blooper. After not using it in most of the races on the
Columbia River, I traded it to a friend for a useless main that I traded in
to North Sails for a discount when buying a new genny. Lately I've been

I can attest that the practices were not updated by 1973.
My boat has all kinds of nooks and crannies where water accumulates. One of
my pet peeves is that often the limber holes were not placed at the bottom

Alan,
I need to amend my previous statement regarding acquiring sails and racing. I,
out of an abundance of nostalgia, feel the need to equip Calypso with a blooper
and fly it during some downwind club race. None of Calypso’s bloopers from the
70’s made it to Seattle so I will start keeping m

It’s nice to see your voice back on the list. It’s been awhile.
I had to chuckle a bit at your mention of a 5+ year restoration. I was certain
the my refit would be done before yours. I’m thinking not given my rather
lackadaisical work efforts on our C&C 37. The COVID-19 shut-down in o

I expect we experienced similar paths in restoring/repairing C&C designs built
by Bruckmann. The “stick built” interiors give both easy access for water
migration and for the repair work water migration makes necessary. I have a

David, My slider is warped too and it has nothing to do with a solar panel on top. Mine sits under a dodger all summer. I believe the interior temperature of the boat when unattended is the cause but who knows. It’s an easy fix and I really like Chuck’s solution. I plan on using that Chuck. Thanks!
I guess I presumed it was turning those photons into electricity rather than
heat. Hard to imagine it generates more heat than the smoke plexiglass, but I
never checked. It would make sense since it tended to unwarp when slid out of
the sun. If I put something underneath it would have to be r
David,
My guess is the heat generated from the solar panel warped the plexiglass.
Those flexible panels can produce a lot of heat. Some people place a sheet
of corrugated plastic under them to help with airflow.

Hi Dave,
I recently replaced the wooden strip (maybe teak) "stop" that runs along the
front edge of that sliding window. It stops the slider from coming out when
you pull it. It's 1/2" high by 3/4" wide by 22?" long. And there are five or
six flathead SS screws that hold it to the plexiglas
Don’t have clue about the cause. Perhaps substituting a different material
(like Lexan) will help solve the problem going forward.

The smoked plexiglass sliding hatch on my boat seems to be warped and I am not
sure why. For several years, I have had a thin flexible 50W solar panel
velcro’d to the top of it. The spacing between the panel and the bridge that

Hey Dave,
Unless Edd has claimed it already, I would like to
have that unit. It would be a good fit for my 1980 C&C36 project
boat in Florida. I can't deliver the 6 pack of IPA personally, would
$200 + shipping cover it?

Martin, re the enthusiasm of C&C owners for their boats:
I think that may well be because C&Cs are essentially Canadian-built Swans.
They are better all around than most other production boats; they are
certainly better looking than most--Bob Perry raves about how well Rob Ball
