The picture shows your boat has the deeper keel. That's better for performance. Deeper, stiffer, lighter. Glad to hear the yard helped with the stands. They sound like good people.

The specifications for my boat show it having a draft of 5’6”. (This is a 1974 C&C 33 ¾ tonner). I bought (used) jack stands for her winter stay in my back yard based on that. I just had her delivered and found out my stands are too short. I was able to recover gracefully from that little faux pas with the help of my yard who were willing to trade for the correct size. After the dust settled I did some measuring to find out where I went wrong. Having just been hauled she has a well-defined water line. I measured the actual draft and found it to be closer to 6’ 6”. Is it possible that the keel was either extended or replaced by a PO? Do owners do such things? It is still a fin keel but I noticed it has a different shape than the shape shown on the C&C specifications document for the boat. The specifications are for a custom ¾ ton but could there have been optional keels available? I will attempt to attach a pic. There is real experience on this list and your thoughts are valuable. Here is a comparison of the silhouette from the specification drawing a sailboatdata and a pic of the actual boat. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jlbdmQzvxLanZwZUsxeE1PaE0/view?usp=sharing Burt On the hard in Walpole, MA _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
