And in 1970, my Redwing 35 had cove stripes and no diamonds or daggers.
I fly one of Stu's C&C flags just to make sure people know what they are
being passed by!

Hank thanks for sharing that - it's awesome to hear from people who
were there. Earlier this year I had a phone call with Gert Tiel, when
I was trying to figure out how to get my exterior handrails off (turns
out a screw head was covered by a piece of bulkhead trim, among other
issues). I own C&C 30 MK I hull #7 and race her in Colorado -

in 1972 when my boat was built, C&C was leaving a gap in the cove
stripe for a boat name, which a "brochure boat" had
(http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/brochures/30foot/30b2pg01.htm). My
boat's cove stripes and stars are routed out and painted.

When I first joined C&C Yachts in 77, I think the coves and stars
(arrows) were painted. They went to mylar for the stripes shortly
thereafter. A few years later they put a gap in the cove so the boat
name could be painted there. The stars remained gold painted. Later
on we offered the cove and stars in a variety of colors to match boot
stripes. The stars remained painted long after the coves went to
mylar, but eventually they went mylar tape too.
It is interesting that the stars and diamond next to them were never
standardized. If you look at C&C's over the years some of the stars
are short and stubby, some of them are long and pointed and everything
in between. I remember suggesting to George, Rob and David that the
stars had become a "signature" of C&C and should be standardized.
That never happened while I was there. I think it depended on who was
making the hull plug and the hull molds as to how the stars looked.
A side story about coves and stars : Butch Cannon headed up a very
successful, nationwide architectural firm and was a Past Commodore of
the Youngstown Yacht Club in Youngstown, N.Y. which is right across
the river from Niagara On The Lake where C&C's were built. He was also
a member of RCYC, a legendary racer on Lake Ontario and had many C&C's
over the years. While I was working there, he went to RCR Yachts for a
new C&C 37. Don Finkle at RCR Yachts in Youngstown sold him the boat
and sent Butch over to see me at the NOTL plant to work out the
details of what he wanted on the boat. After all the specifics of
winches, halyards, etc. he pulled a grey plastic vacuum cleaner nozzle
out of his brief case and said "Hank, this is the color I want my boot
stipe, cove and stars". I told him we would try and later in the day
went to the plant manager with the nozzle and told him what Butch
wanted. Everyone at C&C knew Butch and the plant manger just nodded
and took the nozzle with a smile. The 37 was about 80% complete when
Butch again visited the plant to see her abuilding. He looked at the
boot top, cove and stars and questioned if that was the right color
grey ? I just happened to have the vacuum nozzle in my pocket, pulled
it out and held it up to the stars. The color match was perfect !
Butch just smiled and I handed him back his nozzle. Butch did well
racing his 37 and became a good friend and mentor when I served as
Commodore of the Youngstown Yacht Club in 1985. We lost him about
five years ago, well into his 80's.
Cheers,
Hank

I am sprucing up our 33-2 and am looking for input on the cove stripe
and diamond and star colours. I have two boot stripes, the bottom
being bright red and the upper a light blue. The imperial polishing
compound has brought them up nicely. The cove stripe is mylar and the
same color as the boot stripe and the diamonds and stars painted gold.
I plan a new red mylar cove stripe, but am undecided about the gold.
Can anyone tell me if the gold was original? I would like to restore
to original?
Any other relevant advice welcome
Cheers,
Doug
