Does anyone know how to get to back of the shower valve to remove it? It
looked like taking off the darker gray trim piece that runs around the
shower might give access. I didn't want to remove this if there is another
way.

On our 37+ a previous owner put a deck access plate in the shower wall,
just below the valve.

Many years ago, a salty old retired USCG chief taught me the rule of thumb that
you should have one pound of anchor and one foot of chain for every foot of
boat length.
I decided this current discussion would be a good time to double check that
rule of thumb.

An excellent 25 lb bronze one came with my boat and I all ways use it. It is
very helpful if you anchor where the currents shift with the tide.
I can put 70LBs of metal near or on the bottom. But only retrieve 40lbs at a
time. Much easier on the back.

I don't have. 30 Mk 1 but a Landfall 38 and I will be switching to a Nature's

tank, all the smelly plumbing, and be zero discharge. It seems like a no
brainier decision to me. The cost is about $1,000 but you save
I think Joel is right in that what is unusual is that heavy anchor line and
chain size for only a 27-lb anchor. I use that size anchor line and chain on

Hi all,
I just recently bought a CC 33 Mk II and have noticed that I have standing
water around the aft part of the toerail for several days after a rainfall.
I was thinking of putting a notch in the toerail to help it drain (at least
most of it) or perhaps a little 90 degree scupper from the

Thanks for the info. I'm just going with what was on the boat
when I bought it --- with only a 27lb plow/CQR anchor (Kingston

Len,
I did pull out the box cupboard and there is a bulkhead that blocks access
on my boat. However, I could cut an access panel that would be hidden.
Thanks for your help,

One of the listers posted this tip: place a piece of line (3/8 or so) right
along the toe rail, in the part where the water stands - maybe about two
feet long and then have another foot or so threaded through the slot/hole in
the toe rail and hanging over the side. It will wick the water out

I have both an SSB and satphone on board. I've also been offshore getting
