Hello, I am just replacing them on my 1994 C&C 37/40+ now.  If they are small chrome caps with cutouts to let the light out the bottom, then they should be the same as what I have.  Mine were stamped 90 on the metal base, which is equivalent to the same base as a 1142 bulb, but you're right that

Hello all, Our 1994 C&C 37/40+ has a section of deck core, limited solely to the area under the sliding companionway hood that has become rotted and needs to be replaced.  This was caused by the sliding hatch stop being slammed too many times by the DPO and the stop being solely held into the de

Hi, Not directly answering your question, but there's a Danish guy called Mads Dahlke who's doing a complete core replacement on the deck of his project sailboat. He has an addictive YouTube channel on the project and he's discussing the topic in detail. If you have a bit of extra time, you might

If the area isn't too big then you would probably be well suited to simply fill the void with epoxy thickened with light or medium weight silica. You might choose balsa saw dust instead. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Aug 16, 2017 6:31 AM, "Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List" <

John For short trips I keep the dinghy (10' RIB) on the dinghy tow. On longer trips or over nighters I joist it to the fore deck. It's ok for sailing but a bit of a pain when anchoring. Mike PERSUASION C&C 37 K/CB Long Sault > On Aug 15, 2017, at 1:49 PM, john wright via CnC-List > wrote:

So for those who tow, what is the preferred method? We towed an inflatable one time. Had floating painter and made a bridle on the dink. Tied straight to the stern rail station. No bridle at the boat, not tied to the stern cleats. The painter was roughly 20'. In a following seas with 6 foot s

Josh — we use an “X” shaped towing bridle for our dinghy; two connections on the dink, and tied off to the stern cleats. It’s about twelve feet long or so, with stainless carabiners for the dingy end and large eyes at the boat end. There seems to be enough friction on the dinghy to keep the br

Towing inflatables: If it is a soft bottom, the ONLY way I have made it work is engine off and the bow of the dinghy is up in the air tied to the stern pulpit and the engine off the dinghy. Towing astern has always resulted in a swamped or flipped dinghy. Both my last RIB and my current one, an A

I couldn't help but chuckle at your description - that's a perfect description of several times when I really regretted towing the dinghy and should have had it stowed (folding PortaBote, so it stows nicely inside the shrouds). In those kind of wave conditions I think the dinghy should be stowed.

Yeah we have a porta-boat also and for many years have simply set it up on the foredeck. We use a short spinnaker pole to davit the boat over the side. Generally I like it but keeping the boat setup would make things easier. Josh On Aug 16, 2017 10:41 AM, "Patrick Davin via CnC-List" < cnc-list
