From my past experience (I had a 1974 model): - there is no really option for a holding tank in that boat. We had a marine “porta-potty” (installed permanently with the pump out attachment (it would be illegal in Ontario otherwise)). A larger capacity model fits, but you sit very high. Generally, the head arrangement on the 24 is not the best (no privacy at all).
- sailing with more than 5 is questionable realistically, 4 is the max. And preferably all people know what is going on, because the cock[pit is not that big and the control lines and the tiller are getting in the way (or if you prefer, you guests are getting in the way of control lines) - there is not much in terms of electrical installation (the nav lights and the cabin lights). Normally, the outboard motor does not have the alternator cap-able of charging anything. I used to use a portable battery that I plugged in via a male-to-male accessory plug (cigarette lighter plug) - one of the better upgrades is to install a traveller in the cockpit; it dramatically changes how the boat sails (but..., it gets in the way of the guests) Good luck Marek ex. 1974 C&C 24 Ottawa, ON From: Sidney King via CnC-List Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 14:45 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Sidney King Subject: Stus-List 1980 24ft C&C sailboat questions Hello, We just purchased a 1980 24ft C&C sailboat.
