Chuck and anyone else wanting a picture of the 'mast holes' on our C&C
32, I will send offline......there are 12 1/2" diameter holes and I am
confident they are there for ventilation purposes and no other
reason....appears Wally has them on 'Stella Blue' and feels they are
effective for ventilation.

Hi Rob,
Can you send a picture of the ventilation holes on your mast? Are
they in a pattern? Why only on one side?
Thanks,

The mast holes were made by C&C at the factory to aid in ventilation.
There are about a dozen 1/4" holes on our mast, port side just below
the mast collar......most times, you can feel the air being sucked
into the holes and up the mast. I would see no logical reason to
cover these holes under normal circumstances.
And I don't think C&C would have put them there if they thought it
would impair the structural integrity of the mast in any manner.
Tell your friend it is not a concern.

Yup – sure can. They are an ingenious way to ensure good
ventilation below. The mast acts like a chimney especially on
not days. The holes suck out cabin air and it exits at the
mast head. Air gets in to the cabin through the main cabin
hatch and engine vents. Never had a problem with musty air
below decks

I got this from a friend who is looking for a new boat. Can
someone clarify what the holes are for? Thanks- Dave

Hi Dave,
I've looked at 3 C&Cs now, and each of them has a number (6 or
8) of 1/4" holes drilled in the mast section just below the
mast boot in the cabin, port side only. The first time I saw
this, I was concerned about the strength of the section. After
seeing three, however, I believe there must be a good reason
for the holes. Is it a way to control humidity within the
section? Is there another reason? Is it something I should
be concerned about?
Thanks,
John
