I am a relative newbie here, but I would very much prefer a FORUM and I would
certainly make a donation to help cover the costs.
Frankly, I am a little surprised that there is so much support for the list
over a forum format (though I obviously respect opposing points of view) .

I just bent on my main and jib this evening. While furling my jib, the furler

unwind a little, if that makes sense.
I know that my jib sheets were not fouled. It felt as if I was twisting the

Neil,
Ha! You have answered my question. I am an idiot! For some reason, I was
thinking that a ton is 1000 lbs.
Too much metric, I guess
Thanks!

Mark,
I have since learned (with Neil's help) that I actually do have the correctly
sized Rocna for my length and displacement. For a 9m boat, the 10kg Rocna is
recommended provided that displacement is less than 5 tons, or about 10,000
lbs. For some silly reason, I was calculating as if a ton
Rob,
This list is incredible! I have been researching how to deal with squeaky,
groaning steering on my '89 30 MKII. I am almost certain I have the exact issue
that you addressed.
Questions:
1. Can I remove the emergency tiller collar while the boat is in the water? (I
suspect that I can
Follow up: I fixed my squeaking, groaning rudder! I didn't even need to remove
the collar around the emergency tiller fitting. All I needed to do was to
squirt a little 3 in 1 oil between the rudder post and the plastic bushing. I
was looking for a more complicated solution, I guess.

In my 1989 30-2, the leafs of the salon table are supported by teak blocks that
swing out from the table pedestal, and snap into teak fittings on the underside
of the leaf. Incredibly, the full weight of the leaf (and the full weight of

Gents,
I have a 1989 C&C 30 II and my steering became stiff and squeaky. The solution
was to remove the cover atop the emergency tiller fitting and then lubricate
the rudder post from above. To do so, I just sprayed a luttle 3 in 1 oil around
where the rudder post mates with the collar.

Blair,
Rob (below) described the correct way to tackle the problem. I was going to use
my 11 year old daughter as my spider monkey, but I tried lubricating without
disassembly and it worked (at least for me). The "cover" that I referred to is
simply the white plastic (nylon?) cap that cov

My 1989 C&C 30 MKII has rod rigging and a baby stay. Above the deck, the baby
stay is wire rope, unlike the rest of the rigging. Below the deck, in the
V-berth, the tension of the baby stay is carried through a piece of rod rigging
that is attached to the stringers under the cabin sole.

Just a thought, and I 're- made my floor boards this winter,is to make a

Update: Tonight I removed the sound insulation from the sides of the engine
compartment. Let me tell you - it was a dirty mess. Surprisingly, it is
possible for a substance to be both dusty and oily at the same time. On the
bright side, after removing the old, crumbling insulation I was able to

Oh, how lucky are those of you who posses such a fine headpiece!
Will it ever be restocked? Please give me hope. ___
My 30-2 has many layers of Micron CSC ablative paint. The most recent layers of
paint are flaking. I am told this is due to the fact that ablative paint
absorbs water like a sponge and then sheds that water when the boat is hauled.
Eventually, there is enough swelling and shrinking in the layers
I already know that this is a stupid question and that I will be shamed by the

Anyway, I attempted to install a couple of flexible led light strips in the

I'm sorry if this post is a repeat. I included a couple of photos with my
