Hello all,
We have a 1994 C&C 37/40+, and the anchor chain connected to its primary
anchor, a 35 lb. Delta, is fused together with rust. The chain is also about
20 ft. in length, which I suspect is too short, as the conventional wisdom I
think is that chain at least as long as the boat is highl
For my 35, I have 30 feet of 5/16” chain and 150 feet 9/16 nylon. It isn’t
likely that our boats could break ¼” chain, but the heavier weight helps with
bigger chain and you get more tolerance for losing a little to rust. Likewise
with the line, even ½” new un-chafed nylon is very strong. We use

Thank you so much for your input. I have been looking for information
online about the landfall 35 and it seems very slim.
The C&C website photo album doesn't have a owners manual in their list of
offerings. Do you know where I can pick one up?

Yesterday was my turn to be Race Committee in my club’s fall series. It was
blowing 20-30mph, gusting 30-40mph. And I was stuck running the races from the
RC boat, instead of racing my 30-1. It was easily the windiest day in a CSYC
race this year. Everyone was way de-powered and still roundi

I read this article yesterday. It starts off talking about snubbers but
them becomes a discussion of anchor rodes and their shock absorbing ability
and how to size rodes accordingly with a discussion about mixed rodes.

It just occurred to me that I misspoke about the 9/16ths chain. *I ment

Bruce,
If you are going to be cruising and adding more chain, I would think a
windlass is a must. We have a 35 pound anchor and a short piece of
stainless 3/8 chain. When my windlass failed I needed a second set of
hands to hoist it.
For the islands you need enough chain to keep the line off t
That is pretty much what I have for my 35mkII here in the PNW. I have slept
pretty soundly with the Rocna - love how it sets and stays!

Hi all,
I'm interested in installing a windlass on our 1987 C&C 35 MK III.
I'm interested in any other owners with a 35-3 that have a windlass.
I'd love to know how you did it?
Deck mount?
Down inside anchor locker?
Chain only or Rope and chain?
Anyone have pictures?
Thanks,
Scott Baker

I just replaced my old breaker blowing, jamming, 14 year old windlass. It turns
out that the 50 feet of 3/8 BBB chain and the 200 feet of 3/4 nylon rope were
incompatible with the existing gypsy. Gypsies are selective about their rode so
if I were buying new I would make sure it would work with
Good advice. Gypsies are VERY specific for chain. Size and grade matter.
Definitely check and order the correct gypsy or plan on buying new chain.

Hello fellow listers
I am considering painting the headliner of our C&C 36 as it is looming a little
shabby. I would rather paint it as opposed to replacing it.
The headliner is probably the original so it would be the wooden panels with
the fabric leatherette look.
Any suggestions would be

Satin Heirloom White. It is available in spray cans or brush-on. I’m in the
process of replacing mine with extruded PVC panels.

garnished African mahogany. And painted the rest with hatteras white brightside
by interlux. Came out looking great.

Adam,
Like Fred, I replaced all my removable overhead panels (wooden panels with
fabric) with probably the same thing that Fred is using but it’s been so long
that I’m not sure. The replacement panels has a nice pebble finish that works
with the original surface of the liner on the 37’.

Hi Scott
mounted inside the locker, snug to the lid.
I'm running 60 ft chain and 150 ft of rope.
I also modified the locker lid to allow the rode to get in.
I can provide pics if you want.

Hi all
I’m a big believer in big anchors. And, as I’ve said before, an old USCG Chief
taught me the rule of thumb is at least a pound of anchor and a foot of chain
per foot of boat length. So my 38 has a 20 kg Bruce (44#) as primary anchor and
a 45# CQR as backup on the bow rollers. I’ve dragged too m
