Martin, The 43 looks so much like a scaled up Viking 33.  That is a truly beautiful boat!  There is one for sale in Toronto.  I would love to own one of those.   The admiral can't bare the the thought of another rehab or another 70s boat.  I don't think I have another rehab in me either... Love

Elevated moisture readings from a moisture meter are not always indicative of moisture. Further investigation is required. A surveyor would know how to do this. And YES I would whole heartedly agree with the surveyor - a new boat may be dry but the old boat is solid. Our 1987 J27 had a cored

I have been impressed with the way my 1974 33 3/4 tonner is made. Other than the likely-hood for moisture in the balsa core of the cabin roof and the cockpit sole (not the fault of the manufacturer) the boat looks to be solid as a rock and sails nice and stiff. I do wish I had the 33-1 layout, thou

How would you have registered a boat without the HIN? All boats manufactured in the US and Canada have the HIN in the upper starboard of the transom since 1972. Bill Bina On 1/14/2015 9:05 AM, Burt Stratton via CnC-List wrote: I have been impressed with the way my 1974 33 3/4 tonner is made.

Burt, As the other response stated, there should be a HIN on the transom. My 1976 38 doesn't have one there, I don't know if it was never there or was faired over during a topside repaint. I do have a small C&C plaque in the cockpit that has "380100" on it and that is the number on all the paper

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this... The stern of a displacement hull vessel will begin to submerge as you approach hull speed. It's settling into the trough of its own wake(s). Even kayaks do it. Someone told me a long time ago that a displacement vessel could "theoretically sink itself

Yes – it is simple physics. At 11-12 knots my stern is nearly under. A modern boat won’t sink, more like half-plane like those monster “motor yachts” from the 60s-70s with the huge V-12 Detroit Diesels that go up the river leaving a 6 foot wake. An old narrow clipper ship could potentially be sa

I would have thought (no science here) if it had that much power, it could climb over its own bow wave and "escape " hull speed. (This is how a Flux-Capacitor works - trust me on this! )

Yes, but as I understand it, some time before that happens with a typical displacement hull with no planing surfaces it becomes so unstable it capsizes and sinks or at least all heck breaks loose. Modern wide arsed hulls are more likely to plane with enough power (read that as LOTS!) Ken H. On 1

Love the look of the Shields. I think at some point boat designers calculated the hull speed and then calculated the height of the wave created and added enough freeboard to the boat design to prevent water coming on deck. (Then marketing said yeah, add more freeboard so we can have standing hea
