I’m assuming you race in an area with enough wind to power the boat with a 110%. Here on Lake Ontario, regular summer night beer can racing is often a drifter, and a 110 is the kiss of death. Suit the sails to the prevalent conditions. If a 110% is your go-to sail, you have to be in a windy area

I just found this image of a 34+ that was sold in Montreal, so somebody has one with end boom sheeting! https://kingstonyachtsales.com/boat_listing.php?id=693 Hmm. That’s a thought. I hadn’t considered mounting it between the seating. It shortens the traveler somewhat, but still mig

Looking for guidance. Has anyone moved the traveler on a 34+ aft to the binnacle area? The boom is almost 15’ long, and the traveler is only 5’ from the mast, giving horrible purchase upwind. Looking to move it closer to end boom sheeting, but worried about structural integrity to support the tr

Many boat yards that paint with Awlgrip will have a few remnant cans kicking around, and can usually custom blend a small bottle for you to come fairly close, at least enough that you have to go looking for the repair. Glen Dickson S/V Nomad I 1990 C&C 34+ Pickering, ON Well hello Al,

Here at our club on Lake Ontario we (thankfully) have floating docks. Access to those floating docks is now the concern. Plus one of our retaining walls has been washed out. As part of a rebuild project we are also raising the height of our fixed walkways by 10” to help keep the land access to t

You are correct on Nomad. I purchased it from Jeff Steiner earlier this year. Glen Dickson Ajax, Ontario Canada Since I own a 1989 C&C 34R, I maintain a list of other 34/36 boats and owners. These are the boats built between 1989 and 1996. It looks like some boats have sold and changed

I own a 34+ (although won't be applying for a PHRF cert until this coming season), however, I have access to the PHRF-LO handicappers worksheet. Lake Ontario only lists 3 versions of the 34+: C&C 34/36+ DK (XL) C&C 34/36+ WK C&C 34/36R That would imply the DK was only available on the XL, however
