This thread is making me more determined to find the right C&C for our
first boat, but also explains why they are hard to find - the owners tend
to keep them a long time! Much like our beloved VW Westfalia (which we've
owned for 22 years), they are quickly becoming a much sought classic, it
seems!
There's a good review of them here:

Two other points to consider, even if the new ratio allows you maintain

Not sure if this is common on Yanmars, but on VW diesels, a common source
of slow coolant leaks is the head gasket. There are a few places where
coolant passages can seep coolant into the combustion chamber, which occurs
during cooldown when the engine is stopped. During operation, the higher

I've also got a household CO detector (mainly for the propane heater which
we no longer have), but have not had any false alarms. It is mounted just
above the outlet in the dinette, so about head level when sitting. We also
have two GC batteries under the nav table seat charging on solar, so should
I've been thinking about making a siphon tube for this purpose. The boat we
did our course on last year used this method and it seemed very civilized
and spill resistant, as long as you normally carry fuel jugs, as we do.

An interesting post, as I am considering how and where to install the long
tracks I got to upgrade our 35mk2. So the small inner track allows one to
trim the genoa with more curve by bringing it inboard in lighter wind?
Currently, my genoa uses a block on the toerail, and the jib uses the

Not strictly related to exterior gelcoat (all mine has been painted), but I
have been amazed at the colour variations of the gelcoat on the interior
liners. Here are a few examples. One shows the area behind the portlight
