Defender sale has started. Not like it has been in the past. Very
little savings over their every day Defender pricing and the UPS
shipping - ouch. Almost cheaper to go to local West Marine, who will be

Ron,
I have been collecting data on the C&C for quite a few years and have
run into the problem of what Portsmouth RI actually built due to the
apparent use of both ZCC and CCY for Hull No. The 38s are one of the
problems with the Landfalls and Mk-2s. I originally was under the
impression t
ll number is:
ZCC44001H586
When I look it up online it tells me the boat was made in Aug. 1985
but not where it was made.
Thanks so much!

David,
You may consider coming up to Bristol for the 4th of July parade. It is
a big deal in RI. The harbor will be crowded early from the fireworks
the night before and will be impossible to travel by car.
Have a good time in New England.

Chuck, What size is the jib that you are using the barberhauler rig
on? I can't figure how that would work on a genoa with a an LP greater
than 135%.

Dennis,
Isn't your collar restrained by collar brackets on either side of the

brackets transfer the load to the mast and not to cabin top.

David,
I have raced at night and use a combination of wind instruments,
masthead wind indicator and a red LED flashlight with zoom to look at
the lower two genoa telltales. Also feel of the helm and boat tells me
when I am getting into trouble. Being an East Coast boat my mast head

I have a C&C 35-2 with approx. the same fore triangle. The boat has
Barient 28s (aft) as primaries and Barient 26s as secondaries (fwd on
cockpit coaming). In light to moderate there is no problem with the
secondaries being used for spin guys and sheets and for doing headsail
changes
Martin,
I found a lot of humor in your description in that I pulled a similar
stunt with a Naval Academy 44 yawl racing from Biloxi to Isla Mujeres
Mexico. Just NW of Cuba (1967), hit by a squall at oh-dark-thirty,
spreaders in water, cut spin halyard. In that race, the only time we

My C&C 35 Mk2 carries for racing #1 (155% '22), #2 (137% '07), #2

For the last 20 years, every March, about four of us locals, use to make
an annual pilgrimage to Defender and if needed would do a 5 min. run to
Jamestown Dist. With cut backs at Defender and the closing of
Jamestown's walk in store, those days are gone.
Chuck, I have found Hamilton's prices f
I guess I am a hard core "club" racer who buys racing sails when the
current sail becomes too deformed for racing, de-laminates or not enuf

younger then 20 yrs old. In fact my Hood Vectron mainsail is twenty
years old and still
Same here - Ordered a gallon of bottom paint from Defender late

Can't answer for a '71 C&C 35, but my '74 Mk2 has a Edson. When I talk
to them for a repair kit they had no record/data sheet for the mk2's
instillation. But, the tag on inside of pedestal said it was a Edson.

Wish I could join the race, but Fireball did not make it into the water
this year due to the COVID-19 rules imposed by RI, since most of my crew
is from out of state. We will be back in the water next year and
looking forward to Off Soundings. Also will put the Vineyard race on
