Stus-List Hull Numbers

Is there a specific format to the 70s C&C hull numbers? Mine is 330100874000 (the trailing zeros may be inserted by the state) My assumption of course is that the first two digits are length and the 74 is the year of manufacture. Skip ___ This

According to this site the MIC for C&C Yachts Ltd is ZCC. This must not be my hull number but some other number used to identify the boat for the state. It is not my registration number. I'll have to go look for the correct number on the hull. From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-li

C&C MIC changed when they opened the second plant in Middletown, RI. All C&C boats prior to that opening were MIC=CCY. After the Middletown plant went into operation, Middletown became CCY, and Canadian C&C's switched to ZCC. The change occurred in February 1976. A 1974 boat, therefore would h

My 1989 C&C 30 MKII has rod rigging and a baby stay. Above the deck,  the baby stay is wire rope, unlike the rest of the rigging. Below the deck, in the V-berth, the tension of the baby stay is carried through a piece of rod rigging that is attached to the stringers under the cabin sole.  I am

I would loosen the baby stay before releasing the tension on the rod, otherwise all the force is on the deck itself. My babystay is on a track, so I released the line and moved the car back. I was able to simply unbolt the plate that holds the rod to the bottom of the deck without adjusting the tu

Can't help on the 115 but our 121 is great in light air. Flat water and 10 knots appar = 7+ knots of boat speed on most points. I would expect the 115 to be at least as good. Polars for the 121 are on my site under resources. John Sent from my iPad > On Aug 25, 2014, at 4:55 PM, David Robe

I do not have particular expierience with "light air" boats but would have generally said that the 37+ was one. A rule of thumb I use is that boat speed should be about half of apparent wind speed while closehulled, up to 14 knots. Above that we should start working to flatten the boat but can wa
