When I got Mistress 4 years ago it was my first sail boat, and when I stood the
mast and rigged the boat for the first time, it was a lot of firsts all at once
for me.
Having taken lessons before I bought a boat I was expecting 2 separate jib
sheets, to be tied with bowlines, but found only
No it was not Nina. The listing broker could not pronounce the Irish name when
I asked and they didn't list it in the ad.

This boat has been sold. I inquired on it while still for sale.
It appeared in very good shape and had been on the market 2 years before. I
guess it had delamination and the owner took it off the market, fixed below
waterline, left the above waterline alone and put it back for sale at 79K C
When I moved my 26 from Gimili to Edmonton I left the stantions and lifelines.
I was planning to take them off but decided against it due to I thought it too
much work and too risky if something broke. Remember everything is old and may
never have been removed.
I put a bungee over the line
So if on a survey it was noted that the 120V receptacle in the head is not a
GFCI (as this was not required during original construction) and the
recommendation is to change it to a GFCI outlet as per ABYC standards. Is it
enough to change just the one receptacle and if so what is the difference

Not sure how many Good Old Boat subcribers are on the list but in the last

not for every color scheme but I thought it would be very good at night if
someone was to shine a light towards the boat. I am considering
I have calibrated my knotmeter with my gps on my tablet. They rarely are the
exact same and are 0.1 to 0.3 kt difference with the knotmeter reading faster
than the gps. My tablet may not be perfect either.

I will preface this by saying I consider myself a beginner hack sailor.
I have often thought about trading my 135 for a 110. The 26 is tender for sure
and I get plenty of grief from my bride whenever we go past 20 degrees. I often
furl or reef the main when she is on board, and although per

Andrew I looked up the article you referenced since I find that special
something about the 40 that draws my attention every time. I will someday
own one just not ready yet.
My favorite line of the article, and so true as I do it almost time I leave
my mooring to come home:

I know this is sailing related but it is not C&C related. We have a fair
number of avid racers on the list and I was hoping for some useful leads.
A short background.
I started sailing essentially 3 years ago when we bought our C&C 26.
Although I have only raced in the "fun races" I have b
This would be a hard thing for the crew to deal with though and indeed sad news.
I will note also that David had a situation of his own during a prior race
where a crew member became incapicated and the other crew, his son and another
young man, were on constant watch with the striken crew
So how close is the actual hull shape design of this boat to the 40. At a
glance they appear the same with the obvious deck and interior differences.
I have always loved the look and layout of the 40. If the hull shape is
similar what did Baltic do construction wise to make it more suitable for

put it in a box and ship it to wherever so they can duplicate what I have now.
I haven't really noticed anything wrong with it other than the threaded end for

Hi Keith. Where are you purchasing the boat? I got my boat in Manitoba 2 years
ago and had a trailer made there. The company that built it, Saturn Trailer,
sent a guy who took measurements and placed the posts right on the bulkheads
and stiff areas. I was very happy. There were alot of 29's ther
We are making a trip to Vancouver Island this weekend, mostly just a
romantic weekend away but we are going to have a look at a boat or 2 while
we're there. Just a hands on research exercise, I dont see us being really
serious about commuting to the coast right now but in the next few years it

Nice video Brent. Your crew looks effcient.
Mistress has few 2nd and 3rd in the flying sails at Gimli in her past. Not

I have been trying to get my wife to take a competent crew course with the

I often sail with a single sail with my wife on board. She likes everything
about sailing except the sailing (heeling) so I like to keep it relatively
calm if the wind is over 10 kts. If the wind is up and direction favors

On my boat which has the Vire 7 there is spot for the gas tank under the
starboard hatch cover. It does have a drain that on my boat comes out just
above the boot stripe on the starboard aft quarter.
