As has been mentioned, a good controller is everything! Only really small
panels get by without one, the 5 watt panel that keeps the Whaler battery
alive is too small to damage anything. The 50 watt panel on Coquina goes
through a Morningstar controller that was about $35 and has worked fine for

This came up on the Zoom call and I found it quite interesting.
Here is ours:
Point to Point: 10 knots SOG from Cape May to the C&D. This was under chute
with the tide running, so we got at least 1.5 knots boost from the current.
Noon to Noon: 180 miles. By modern Volvo Ocean Race standards this

I'm a bit tired of hurricanes. After getting Touche' back in the water
after being repaired from Hurricane Sally, we brought the boat back to
Mandeville just in time to prep it for Hurricane Zeta.
I felt like Jim Cantore was on board for the trip!

I have noticed something really odd for decades now – the local weather
forecast almost always is as if *the hurricane misses*. During David we had
about 70 knots on the beam in our slip, which was enough to heel us over maybe
15-20 degrees WHILE the weather radio still was saying 20 knots. Isa
In my 71 years, I have never been in the eye of a hurricane until
yesterday. With the exception of many shredded headsails left on the
furlers, there was no apparent damage to boats in the new Municipal Yacht
Harbor with its floating docks.

Well, for some reason, known only to mother nature, all of the spin-off rains
from all of Dennis' hurricanes always seem to come right through the Ohio
valley and we get 2-5- inches of rain, the river is projected to rise about
10-12 feet by Sunday...which, of course, imposes on my quality time

Joe,
As discussed at the zoom meeting last year my son and I did a spinnaker
run from Marion MA to Cuttyhunk Is (16.3 nm) with an average speed of
11.2 kts and a peak of 11.8 kts. Got the chute down and jibed in 22kts
of wind and reached under cruising rollerfurl (135%) to Sakonnet river

It’s been a while, but I bought closed-cell cushions from “C Cushions “ out of
Texas, at Annapolis show. They had cockpit dimensions, and the cushions fit
perfectly. Variety of colors available.
See if they have presence on web.
Hope this helps

I second C Cushions from TX. The cockpit cushions fit perfectly. They also
made a custom helm seat to match. Again- Fit perfectly as well. Can send pics
if interested.

Someone made a short history of C&C for Youtube. Hopefully it may help sell
some of our boats.

I am on the Diamond Blackhawk rig. Yesterday we moved about 50Nm west of the
path of Zeta to avoid a direct hit. We only saw 30knts wind and 15’ seas. We
moved back to location today and seas are still a bit rolly (10-15’). Another
lovely day in the gulf!!
Stay safe out there!!
