I bought two new fans and they both are NOISY! WTF? The old ones I was
replacing because they made too much noise were better despite probably having
run for 1,000 hours.
I got one of these, CAFRAMO Two-Speed Compact 12V DC Fan and one of these,
CAFRAMO Sirocco Cabin Fans.

Hey guys,
After some research and having the helpful folks at Genco Marine look at
photos of my boat, I've come to the conclusion that it's nearly impossible
to shade my cockpit while under sail unless I move my traveler. I have a
1976 30mki with a single back stay and a tiller. The traveler is
I moved my traveler on my 30-1 from in front of the wheel (all of two feet long
and nearly worthless) to across the companionway. I know, it is a pain to climb
around when one has to go below, but how often is your traveler car centered? I
thought about putting it over the companionway hood, but

different boat, but..
On my previous boat, a C&C 24, I had a traveller about a foot astern from the
companion way. There was no bridge deck there. There was no issue with the boom
attachment – if anything the bail was moved back. It was great for controlling
the sail, but it wrecked havo
It turns out that the violent engine vibration on my 33 mark 2 was due to a
bent propeller shaft and old, worn Gori folding prop both of which I have
changed. Everything runs smoothly now and the problem is completely eliminated.
Thanks for all the advice and recommendations, especially from Bri
Robin,
Ultimately, you're responsible because you accepted the boat for purchase
post survey, but I would be hesitant to give the surveyor any
recommendations since this was something he missed and could have been
inspected if the boat was on the hard or detected the vibration if the boat
was in t
Gary and all 30-1 owners-
Regarding "how often is your traveler car centered" - well, how often are your
traveler cars centered? When close-hauled on your 30-1s, are you in the habit
of pulling the car to windward a bit? My main has leech telltales as well as
telltales on both sides farther fo

Hey all -
Last week while S.V. Safari was bashing upwind offshore en route to Tofino
BC I noticed that the forward bulkheads were creaking. Upon closer
inspection I realized that they had separated entirely from the cabin top
by moving inboard about 1.5cm.
Here’s the port bulkhead: http://imgur.c
Hi Andrew,
I have a similar looking issue on my 1978 C&C 34, Also have very slight
dimples in the hull at the same places. I've never sensed movement, and
thought not as much as yours, I can see that my bulkheads are not set in as
deep as they may have been at the build.
Aft sides of the bulkhead
I find that I only move the traveler to windward in fairly light air. But then,
since I have the shoal draft version, I don't try to point to high. If I can
tack through 90deg in light to average wind I'm happy. That's good enough for
workin on the river.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

A couple of questions.
1) What is the height of your boom? Pre '77 the factory standard was
pretty low, under 6' from the cockpit sole to the underside of the boom.
2) When you say "moving the traveler to just in front of the companionway"
I assume you to the stern of the companionway. Are you l
Boom height is certainly a concern since regardless of the main sheet
placement the boom will still limit the height of the bimini.
Consider a hard top option. Since the hard material supports itself you
have more versatility than with fabric. You may be able to work with a
designer to develop a
Thanks Gary and Marek,
Gary, do you have any photos of your installation by any chance? If so, I'd
love to check out how it's rigged. Does your sheet attach to the end of the
boom in the same place? Do you have a bimini with this setup?
Thanks again guys. Always easy to find help here.

Ryan,
This is a photo of my Bimini with standard traveler placement on my 30-1. I got
the Bimini from Genco as well. Obviously, it doesn't shade the entire cockpit
but it's enough for the helmsman and definitely makes a difference...

Hey Aaron,
Thanks so much. Yeah it looks like yours is in front of the wheel though,
correct? Mine is at the very very back of the cockpit. Against the transom
basically. So the folks from Genco said that really kills any space for a
Bimini. Thanks for the recommendation for Genco though,
Hi Andrew
As near as we can tell, the upper bulkhead is not bonded to the deck – and for
a reason. C&C’s do flex a bit as they sail – especially as they bash to
windward. The lack of this bond allows this flex to happen – all well and good
as the stresses are dispersed throughout the entire
Nicely done Dennis. I seem to recall you do well most years.
One interesting observation. In our West Coast offshore races, we do not
allow racers to log in to the tracker. Obviously your SI's allowed that.

This is good to hear! One other spot we noticed was where the top of the
engine compartment meets the bottom of the cockpit. Creaking happened there
when we were headed upwind as well. Is this another area with “natural”
flex for others?

Ryan,
It is important to note that in Aaron's photo the bimini is above the
height of the boom so he has basically maximized the forward projection
regardless of main sheet placement.
Aaron,
How much head room do you think you have under the bimini? Would it be
uncomfortable if you were to lower
Has anyone replaced the forward hatch, in particular on a C&C 29?
I have replaced the lens on mine and it is cracked again because the frame
is not true. I am thinking of replacing it with either a Lewmar Ocean
series 60 (flat base) or a medium profile 60. The latter has a flange base
which will r

Andrew,
I get a bit of squeaking between the top of that bulkhead and the
underside of the deck when in any kind of sea. A friend who grew up
sailing on a 35-1 told me they used to put beeswax in that joint to
quiet it down. Not sure if you could anything in there, but might we be
worth a

How many women are we talking about here? Have
you considered a non-mechanical solution by simplifying a bit? :)
