Re: Stus-List ; possible theory on boat length

My 0.02 is that you now have a boat that sails a whole lot better than had that extra waterline not been there. The 33-2 is my favourite C&C design under 37 feet. Has a very nicely put togetehr interior as well as very pleasing lines. Mike From: CnC-List [mail

Our J/27 we just added an outer jib track. The forward tracks for #3 are on cabin top and provoide excellent pointing. However when wind comes up boat becomes overpowered and one solution is using an outhauler. We did what one or two other J27s have done and put a second set of tracks on the sid

Re: Stus-List ; possible theory on boat length

Couple things at play here. 1. Your 33-2 is about 5" shy of 33' LOA. 2. Interior volume is not necessarily proportional to LOA. (Eg: check out any recent Hunter) 3. You're right about designing to a rule. The LWL on the 33-2 stretches out a bit once the boat is heeled, and that's obviously a g

Those who live in the Toronto area anyway? I wish they would show a C&C or Tartan at the show but they only bring out the Catalinas, Hunters, Dufours etc. I made off with the customary boat hook and I got a great deal on the discontinued Raymarine ST40 Depth and Speed instruments. Boxing day deal

Garmin will not issue any more Bluechart unlock codes, whether you pay them or not, as of some time in 2011. I did not know this when I purchased my copy in 2012 at Canadian Tire and got a rain check for a GPS unit that was on sale. The GPS unit never came in and was discontinued. A web search

Re: Stus-List ; possible theory on boat length

Richard, Winter thinking about boat designs: I think boat speed was always a priority for C&C and S2 and J-Boats. Not so with many other brands such as Hunter or Catalina. I don't know that adding a sugar scoop to a boat will guarantee more speed. It definitely will raise slip & winter storage

Chuck, thanks, I think your analysis is what C&C had in mind when they came up with the labeling for the 34/36 and the 37/40, and then the +, C and R designations. They appear to be leaning that way with all of the mid-80s, "II" and "III" boats, (33, 35 and 38); which have longer waterlines an

Re: Stus-List how did you all make out at the boat show?

Steve, Garmin's Blue Chart (version 7) would load on the GPSMAP 78. There is no problem with compatibility; if anything you may have problems with enabling it for the new unit. If it is the newer version (g2), I would not know. Btw. if you hit a problem with enabling the old version (unlocking

Re: Stus-List how did you all make out at the boat show?

Actually, Garmin does sell a USB to RS232 connector. But it’s about $50. You can buy an adapter at Radio Shack, Best Buy, or any other computer store for $10 to $20. And I’m not real pleased that they stopped updating the Bluechart CDs back in late 2008. But then, the devices I have that use
