Bill, I've got a 78 C&C 36 Center Board version. I find that the boat is very
tender and once the wind pipes up I start reducing sail much earlier than most
of the other boats in the fleet. Keeping the boat flat < 20 deg of heel and I
can still keep up with most of them going to wind with mi

Ron, when I was cleaning out some stuff a couple of weeks ago I found the
original AUTOHELM 4000 and drive unit that came with my boat. It still worked

My observation on Virginia Lee is that with about 20 deg angle of heel and
being at boat speed with the boat balanced my cockpit drain is below the
waterline and my feet are in water (1-2") if I sit on the leeward side. If I
am overpowered and the bow is digging in, the drain isn't under water
I went with rod as in the end it was the same cost as converting and I like the

Joel, I had a similar problem a couple of years ago and it turned out

Interesting that the same thing happened on my 36 about 10 years ago. I sent

You can always make the "O" ring to size by super gluing two into one or
cutting a very large one to size. Cut at a 45 dog angle at the glue joint.
That is how we used to do it in the Navy when we didn't have the correct size.

I bought sails from Rolly Tasker through National Sail years ago.I had a
problem with one sail and they made good on it. They sent a replacement.
For what they are they aren't bad sails. I even won a couple of races on
those sails. I'm now using North sails and can tell a difference i

I also own a 1978 C&C 36 CB. I've owned the boat since 1997 and although I've
not documented all of the work I've done I am very familiar with the boat
having done a major repair to the chain plates, repower, and rework of the
centerboard. There are not many C&C 36's of this vintage however
This allows you to remove the shaft without removing the rudder. It also means
the boat pushes to port while going ahead and pulls to port while going astern.

Richard, If It is like my 36 CB it will be a bit tender but I've learned to
reduce sail early and the boat does just fine. In fact going to wind with
less sail has its advantages.

My 36 does this. My solution is to close the valve while underway, I wouldn't
rely on a check valve to prevent flooding. My Navy experience tells me they

On my 36 it attaches to the boat with a bow shackle. I had the cable made and
then sized it at the boat using wire clamps..

Adam, I have a 1978 C&C 36. I replaced my ports with Bomar 2000 Series opening

I've not had any leaks since they were installed in2006.

I had my spreaders re-tipped at one time. A local guy did it.I now do
rigging work and have a local machinist who is able to fabricate spreaders.
Your rigger should know someone who does that sort of work.

Virginia Beach,
Steve, Make sure that you take a good look at the knees which the shroud and
back stay chain plates attach. These are a known weak spot on boats of our
vintage.About 9 years ago the tabbing on one of mine started separating. I
was fortunate that I found it before a catastrophic failure.
. The through bolt needs replacing as well as possibly the caps.
