This was when I forgot to install the straps one year and only noticed days

Aaron:
Just my curiosity but are you interested in a boat in Halifax? If so,
maybe one of us on the C&C list knows the boat/owner and can provide you
with additional insight.

Hi Tom,
you can look up boat classes on the Lake Ontario PHRF website without being

Go to:

and click on "Valid Class Search" on the left hand side. Enter "C&C 34" in
"Class Name"
and that will display the six classes that PHRF-LO has ratings for. You

Hi Tom,
You probably know this but the 34+, 34/36, 34/36 XL, and later 36XL are
all the exact same boat. The R is the same hull with a lighter cabin
configuration and a more 'Extreme" rig..
As for your boat, it depends on several factors but it looks like your

in my view this is the neatest thing. It is a Garhauer block. I don’t remember

would know what it is. They can also adjust the angle of

Hi Marek- That is really cool. I did not think I could do a dual purchase with
the small distance between the traveller and the cabin top. I will follow up
with Garhauer. Have you ever had problems with it popping out during jibes?

Marek,
I don't use the winch at all though I could. I do use the cabin top
clutch... Almost exclusively. I believe that it is actually a 3:1
compounded with a 4:1 = 12:1. In a heavy blow which would require use of
the winch I use the 12:1. I call it a tweaker since it allows me to fine

Marek,
I forgot to mention that for gybing, the 3:1 is forgiving and since it is a
transient condition what we do is simply pull down on the head of the 4:1
system. It hardens the mainsheet very quickly and then you just play all
that slack right back out. No clutch work needed under the dodger.
Very worth while.
Dan Wood at Canvas creations in Annapolis made mine but Dan seems quite
overwhelmed with the amount of time required. It took almost 6 months
before I had a completed dodger. I not entirely dissatisfied but would do
a little shopping around before using him again. He was excep

Chuck,
Since the dodger is hard starboard I used 1/2" sheet metal screws to hold
the panels in place. I was warned beforehand that the starboard and panels
would have a differential expansion due to temperature which could cause
buckling. To avoid this I replaced the tiny original brass grommets

they were 15 years old.
Does anyone know how to properly dispose of old extinguishers that are still

Hi Mike,
A good way to dispose of the extinguisher is to use it in practise on
a fire built for the purpose, preferably with the direction of
someone who has some experience. There is basic technique that is
more effective than waving the thing around.
Then use a shop to recharge & certify o
Excellent suggestion!

Hi Mike,
Have you owned the boat for 15 years? As a broker its a running joke with
surveyors- you check the fire extinguishers to find out when the boat sold last.
