Thanks Richard. Yes, I was wondering if the crack in the fibreglass at the stub was from an impact. Nothing on the leading edge of the keel, but I'll check the cavity the next time I haul like you suggest. Will report back on my repair with pics etc. Appreciate the response. Best, Macdara Ar Mái

We loved the Thimbles when last there, which was a long time ago. There was a barge selling lobster dinners with a delivery boat. My brother and I got hassled about some kind of Connecticut boating license while taking the dinghy into town. Seems the local water cops didn’t think a 10 and 13 yea

The best sandwich shop in the world (IMHO) is in Sag Harbor right near the bridge and marina: Espresso. Great place to visit if you like looking at Yachts and fancy cars. We have been making annual trips there for for breakfast, lunch or dinner for 20+ years. I guess I am going to have to co

You guys are the best! We stay at Mystic Seaport when in Mystic. Not the cheapest, but its one of our favorite spots despite having to deal with the bridges. I'll check out the recommendations so we have some options. Joel On Tue, Aug 29, 2023 at 2:13 PM David Knecht via CnC-List < cnc-list@cn

I had a good time checking out mystic seaport museum and actually didn't plan enough time.  We also skipped over to shelter island and happened to catch the whaling days celebration.  It was fun.  There is an awesome sandwich shop in the center of town. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ So

Hi Joel- I second most of those suggestions with some amendments. Watch Hill is very nice but it is a very long motor through a narrow winding passage to get there. You have to be very careful navigating it. Lovely spot once you do. I would do that only if time is not an issue. If you are th

The Thimbles in Branford, CT are all privately owned so no going ashore, and the current can be strong when the tides change, causing boats and anchor rodes to become entangled. A kellet or weight to keep your rode below keel and rudder can help. North of Charles Island in Milford, CT is

Hey Joel, I think the Thimble Islands on the CT coast are pretty neat. We also loved going up to Essex on the CT river. The Griswold Inn there has a fantastic sea shanty night. Northport is a nice little town. Oyster bay has a couple nice anchorages. Ziegler's Cove is a pretty anchorage as well. H

Joel, Having lived most of my life sailing Long Island Sound, I can share a few recommendations: Port Jefferson is a great town with wonderful shops and restaurants. Also easy to get in and out of the harbor. Oyster Bay is very protected, but it takes some to get in there. Another great town

Macdara; welcome to the list; there are many owners with the centerboard boats;  the mechanics of the centerboard is reasonable simple, however, the wear and tear on a given boat can be troublesome; your photos are good: I am not aware of any readily available replacement parts for C&C centerboa

Hi, I tried posting this before but not sure if anyone got it. To cut a long story short, I want to repair the area where the CB hardware attaches to the bilge. It is partially delaminated and the underlying wood is sodden and there is a little bit of rot appearing. It's a daunting task and a poten
