I Love the Quote. I'll check the GBS connection (just for verification). My C&C is a 1988 C&C 41 with a wing keel. She is a very tough boat and sails very well in anything from 7 knots or so and up to 20+ (apparent) without reefing the main. As to the SA guy , f..k the begrudgers. Niall niall.j.buc

Heavy? I made mine from stainless steel!!! Works great and a lot lighter than the other things up front e.g. anchor and 200 ft of chain. If you do find a source of the CF tube I'd love to know about it. Niall On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 1:02 PM, Pete Shelquist wrote: > I’m still exploring the additi

For some reason there is put forward the notion that we are discussing C&C 44's ! The Navy 44's reviewed in Practical Sailor were designed by David Pedrick. Niall C&C 41, Ardea 11. On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 10:48 PM, bobmor99 . wrote: > Practical Sailor says... > " ...Designed by David Pedrick, th

Hi Rick, Thank you for that helpful article. I have a question for you. Really, I should be able to figure the answer out based on all of the back and forth on winterizing. Anyway, here is the question. My engine is a 35 HP Yanmar. I live in Nova Scotia where the winters are relatively mild by Cana

The main difference is that the new sails dont stretch and their shape is factory engineered. You will still adjust mail and genoa halyard tension according to conditions. You will likely not ever require a Cunningham ever again. Have Fun. On Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 9:28 AM, Hoyt, Mike wrote: > Me

Hello Harold, I'm new to this Group so, don't know the format exactly. I changed to high tech lines on all my halyards over the past few years. My perceived advantages are as follows: less weight aloft (considerable, maybe equivalent to a man on the rail), much nicer on the hands if you need to ha

Hi I designed and installed a SS removable sprit on my C&C 41. Works like a charm. I'll send you pics, if you like. Or you can shoot me some questions if you like. Cheers, Niall. On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 1:27 PM, Tom Buscaglia wrote: > At the C&C rendezvous on Thetis Island in BC some of us we
