Hi Steve.  I have to chime in on the Cat v Mono debate.   There are good
cats and not so good cats (we call em dogs - or condomarans) - just like
monos.  I spent 5 years and 30K miles on a Switch 51 cat with my wife and
two daughters.  My boat prior to that was a C&C 27!  We are now back in the
USA and the girls are in High school - and we bought a C&C 30 MK1 for
Chesapeake cruising.  Our Switch 51 had dagger boards and a 3 meter draft
with boards down - it would outpoint many monos upwind and outrun pretty
much all monos on any other point of sail.  We had high bridge deck
clearance to keep the water 'bombs' from detonating between the hulls too
often.  We believe that speed is a safety feature while making passages and
a lot of fun while just cruising.  We started out with the Caribbean 1500 in
2005 the year that 3 or 4 boats broke rudders and one lost their rig - it
was rough and tumble but we were anchored in Tortola up to a week before
many of the other boats made it in.  Our two Atlantic crossings averaging
close to 200 mile days allowed us to avoid most of the nasty weather.
Anchoring is wonderful in a cat - they don't roll and our draft, boards up,
was 3 feet 8 inches - twin engines make handling a breeze under power and
having a spare engine is always a good thing.  There are some cons however -
they are pricy to buy, haul and usually cost more to dock - and in the Med
the harbors are generally pretty tight.   Luckily we preferred anchoring out
to marinas.

When the kids are off to college (3 years and 10 months - but who's
counting) we plan on buying another cat to continue cruising.  I also have
to confess that sailing a C&C is more fun for the pure joy of sailing.
Feathering up in a puff is a wonderful feeling whereas in a Cat you just
accelerate.   But as a C&C owner you obviously enjoy good performance so
don't discount cats as cruisers.

My limited experience on a 44 foot cat between Virginia and No. Carolina was
not fun. Funny motion as the cat has a sidewards motion on top of the up and
down. Plus, in waves, the cat gets hit by the water between the hulls and it
sounds like someone is under the boat with a sledge hammer pounding on the
hulls.

I'm not convinced - but the owner brought it back (with skipper) from
France.....and outside of Beaufort, the dolphins swimming between the hulls
was something I'll never forget!

You are correct.
http://users.eastlink.ca/~mhoyt/Projects/Phase2/garboard_drain.htm

 

At our club (Barrachois Harbour Yacht Club) a number of owners had installed
these oarticularly after one boat had installed a new cabin sole in the Fall
that was ruined by water buildup in the cabin over the follwoing
winter/spring.  We have a freeze/thaw cycle here that tends to have snow in
the cockpit followed by rain then freeze which closes off cockpit drains and
then drains into cabin sometimes.  

 

Typically these are installed from the outside using something liek a 1 inch
flush drain (Perko I believe).  Many of us would then fair around the flange
causing a slight bulge.  We did it this way on our Niagara 26 "Full Tilt 2"
and our friends on their C&C 25 "Dry Red".  Once we bought the J/27 I could
not do this since this sort of protrusion is sacrilidge on a racing boat so
I decided I would try it from the inside using a half inch drain.  This
worked very well and I use either thickened epoxy or a polyester based
filler to fair the hole each spring so that it is undetectable and then in
the Fall I pop out the fairing and remove the plug.  Seems to work well.
Our friends that had teh 25 liked this idea and did the same on their C&C99

It seems to me that Mike even documented the install of one of these
garboard drains online.  I know I've run across it before.

Seriously though - I have put garbord drain in my last two boats.  Very
difficult to put at absolute lowest part of bilge but it does ensure there
is never a serious water buildup over the off season.  Water collecting in a
boat on the hard does nasty things

 

Actually I install mine from the inside and completely fair over the
outside.  There is no bulge or any trace of the garbord drain and it has
zero effect on flow over the keel this way.  Previous boat I did from the
outside and there was a slight bulge.

Count me among those with water constantly in the bilge. The past two
winters with the boat out of the water there has been no evidence of a smile
but I have been concerned with the bilge and it always having water in it.
Keel stepped, when it rains, water in the bilge. Aside from that any
condensation in the boat, the stuffing box (which needs repacking), etc, and
I have water in the bilge, all the time.

I installed one on mine after installing the Nanni engine. It would not fit
with the old Perkins. It is a little bulky. I will send you a couple pics.

It is mounted on the port side of the engine, when I remove the steps I just
remove a wing nut and it swings out on a hinge so it is right in your face
for filter changes.

I agree it is overkill.  Until it is not. At the time, the flesh was weak -
a friend had just had a filter clog and was trying to get into the Buffalo
harbor in 25 Kt+ winds, a little harrowing. 

So, I decided if that happened to me, I would like to be able to throw a
lever and keep on going.

There used to be a large cat ferry between Yarmouth Nova Scotia and Bar

Hi,

I am looking to replace the old steaming light on my mast.  I don't know if
it is the original but what I have now is a basic clear dome similar in size
to the running lights(link to image below).   My plan is to replace the
light with a Hella 8505 combination masthead/deck and run new Ancor 16/3
wire using the old wire as a messenger. 

My questions: 

Has anyone removed the cast metal light base from the side of the mast
before? How difficult is it to remove this metal base from the side of the
mast?  When I last replaced the bulb, I did not see mounting screws for the
metal cast base.  It looked pretty firmly attached on the mast.   I am
guessing that it is either glued,  pressed in place, or possibly welded(I
hope not).  


Here below is a link to am image of the type of light I presently have:

Got it. That is an analogy I can relate to from personal experience.

I think that I want to get a boat more suited for longer term cruising and I
have been looking for a few years now trying to
decide. I am torn between the Winnebago-on-the-water boats that don't draw
much water and the ones that actually sail well. Unless
you have big $$$ to spend, the two characteristics seem more or less
incompatible.

I saw a lot of cats in Port Elizabeth this year, and they sure seem to work

Well, when you're cruising you will spend most of your time at anchor, but
few cruising cats sail well, and sailing well is part of the attraction for
me. And cats are expensive. I have a friend who is cruising his C&C 40 CB
around the West Indies as we speak, and I know of a C&C 40 with a bobbed
keel for sail in Guatemala that could be had for low money and looks to be
in pretty decent shape.
Whatever you decide, it's a terrific buyer's market right now.

Paul,

If it is like the one on Touche's mast, I abandoned it.? It was that same
Perko all around light mounted on a metal "donut" welded to the mast.? I
installed an Aquasignal Series 25 combo steaming/foredeck light a bit above
the old fixture and dropped new wires.? 

I'm guessing the Aquasignal would fit over and hide the existing donut once
you remove the Perko light if you wanted to mount it in the same spot.? You
could use the existing wires to pull the new wires.

On a side note, Touche's pole topping lift exited another of those "donut"
things above the steaming light.? I have also abandoned that and installed
an exit box with sheave for the topping lift.

>I am looking to replace the old steaming light on my mast.? I don't know if
it is the original but what I have now is a basic clear dome similar in size
to the running lights(link to image below).?  My plan is to replace the
light with a Hella 8505 combination masthead/deck and run new Ancor 16/3
wire using the old wire as a messenger.

>Has anyone removed the cast metal light base from the side of the mast
before? How difficult is it to remove this metal base from the side of the
mast?? When I last replaced the bulb, I did not see mounting screws for the
metal cast base.? It looked pretty firmly attached on the mast.?  I am
guessing that it is either glued,? pressed in place, or possibly welded(I
hope not).?
