Hi folks,
I own Drifter, a C&C 24 from 1985. A recent survey by a potential buyer
found that despite the keel being well attached (no 'smile' or obvious
issues with the sump to keel joint) the keel moves up to 4 inches from side
to side while the boat is hanging in the slings. The surveyor attribu
I am moving forward with the below deck linear drive install. We put in the
structural support and then exposed the rudder post. However a few oddities.
First, in spite of the build plans calling for an 80mm diameter rudder post it
is, in fact, 75mm. And, although the Images that Josh posted
I hope none of our Nova Scotia listers were affected by the incident today.

Tom,
I had the same issue on my 34+, no keyway. I called Edson and they said
you must drill through the post. The Edson arm has a hole on one end which
guides the drill to the opposite side. Then you finish by drilling through
the bronze arm for the bolt. Be sure and use a cobalt drill bit to ge
Good lord! Drill through 3 inches of stainless steel! Nope! That one is
going to the machine shop for me. I don't care if it is a cobalt bit and
guided. The machine shop could put in a keyway while you have it out
instead of a hole.

Dennis! You're alive! There were inquiries about your status after storms
rolled through a week or two ago. What happened in Nova Scotia?

Very deceptive. I would have never guessed.

Hi Tom,
I am told not all rudderposts have a keyway that reaches down the post
far enough. I was lucky; mine did. It may be that you exposed the shaft
further down than I did. I've heard from others that they didn't have a
keyway and had to drill the post and install bolts. Your other choi
Very small community near my cottage had someone go in murder a bunch of
people. So very sad.

Chris,
Trying to understand exactly what you are describing without a

box is cracked from the hull? If there is no 'smile' and your keel
moves 4" side to side, what else could it be? If I understand
correctly, that's
Hi Rob,
I do have pictures but do not know how best to post them to this forum so I
will upload them to my google drive. This is the shareable link:

According to the 37+/40 build specs , the rudder post is supposed to be 3.15”
OD 1.97” ID SS bar.
Though mine is closer to 3” OD I suspect it is still hollow with an ID of ~
1.75” or so. That’s still plenty of steel to drill through, but way less
hassle the hauling and dropping the rudder.

Forgot to add that the surveyor has said he will not provide further
comment without an additional survey...

You can drop the rudder in the water.

There is a Youtube video I believe the channel is called sailing Uma. They
have a pearson 38 with the same problem (keel wag) anyhow there is a full
video of them repairing it, hope that helps.

Hi Chris,
Your mast compression post issue is a slightly different version of what
many C&Cs of your vintage have experienced. My 35-1 has basically that
same construction to support the bottom of the mast: a stack of plywood
lightly encased in fiberglass that spans the bilge at the turn of t
Our 37+ has a keyway; curious where you exposed the post if maybe the
keyway is only partway down the post

That's a good thought Chris. I can't remember seeing any deviation in the
design of the post that suggests that the keyway was an after thought or
only partial length. I'll see if I can find any pictures.

The resolution is terrible but it kinda looks like the keyway on mine is
only partial length.
