Time for me to chime in. This list was originally set up to discuss topics related to C&C Yachts. But our boats are not unique. Products, materials, skills, how-to’s, etc. are common to a great number of boats. Because of that, many subscribers to this list are NOT C&C owners and their exper

If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion...this is not the only C&C list, there is also one on Yahoo which is sitting dormant. It may be a better venue for a technical discussion like this, plus you have the advantage of posting pictures, etc. Many of the old-timers here are also members. That f
