I just looked at sailboat data. I see what you mean about the rudder.
You could certainly mount it to the side. The key to using a boarding ladder
to get in the boat from the water, say, if swimming, you want at least one
rung below the water line. Two would make it much easier. With you
A question to consider is what you want the step for - getting out of the
water, or for a dinghy.
On our C&C 34, we use an Esdon boarding step that we clip to the toe-rail at
the side of the boat, for use with our inflatable dinghy or Whaler. Being the
side means we can tie up the smaller boat s
Hi Ali,
I have a 1972 C&C 30 Mk. I, hull #7, with a hinging swim ladder in the middle
of the transom. I don't think the bottom rung hits the rudder - I'll confirm
that later today. But I worry about people stepping on the top of the rudder.
Fortunately I have tiller steering, so I can turn the
ut this, and if you
have ideas on where I should install the ladder.
the ladder is 3 feet long and 1 foot wide and has a hinge to drop it in water.
Thank you,AliC&C 30 1976Seattle

My 1980 version has a hinged ladder mounted in the center of the transom. When
unfolded, the bottom of the ladder hits the rudder. It has not been a problem,
it just keeps the ladder a bit away from the transom, which is pretty vertical,
maybe a bit sloped in at the bottom, so that is good. The
I will second the comments about ensuring a good length of the ladder is
underwater when folded down - my mother-in-law fell into the water one time off
our previous boat, and could not get up the ladder - the lowest rung was barely
below the surface. After that debacle I invested in a lifeslin
Russ, it's a slat-bottom Zodiac. It really is an inflatable, I pump it up
in the spring and deflate it in the fall. Usually don't have to do anything
to it in between.
I really like the concept of an air floor, most folks seem happy with
theirs. With no storage at home, it has to live in the mother
If anyone is looking for a 34 centerboard I came across what looks to be a nice

You want to have, at least, a good rung or two under water and a reasonable way
of clearing the pushpit. This applies to those of us who are not built like
Mark Spitz. Your Admiral will be thankful.
I know that it may sound funny, but one of the reasons why we changed boats was
the difficulty
I fail to see the problem with the ladder. You don't want riff raff getting
back on the boat.
My apologies to all mother in laws😜

The central location would also depend on if you have a split backstay or not.
With a split one, you want it central. It also, usually, makes the gate easier
to install.

Thanks all for the great insights. I will go ahead and install the ladder to
the starboard side of transom with 1-1 1/2 rungs in water and add a gate
sometime later.

Doesn't sound funny to me. One of our biggest safety concerns we have on SLY,
our 1975 C&C 33, is having my wife or I fall overboard. Even with the Life
Sling this is a serious risk especially in cold water as we have here in the
Northwest. I'd love to have a boat with an open transom.

My 33-2 currently has a small single bow roller which I would like to change
out for something a little more friendly for a self launching anchor and tack
point for a code zero furling. If it's not sacrilege, I am also thinking about
installing windlass in the anchor locker. I would appreciate a
Hi John,
I have recently gone through much of this with my LF38, and I have written
much of this up on my blog. The first link below discusses the head plumbing.
I went with a macerator pump rather than a hand pump. Read the section on my
“Sanitation System Plan”.
In my setup, all head
If you turn the rudder it moves completely out of the way. Even with the
rudder centered my ladder
does not touch it but is close.
Check the stern from the inside. There may be stiffening strip laminated
horizontally across that
provides a good location to bolt the ladder to.

Doug, installing an anchor windlass in the anchor locker counts as the single
best (cruising) improvement I have made to our boat, I would be far less likely
to anchor without it. Highly recommended if you are cruising.
Anchor roller - I installed a Garhauer, works well. But your geometry is
Well, there were witnesses... say no more! ;-)

Just a quick note to say the new owners of Nemesis have picked her up and
moved her up Halifax harbour to Dartmouth Yacht Club.
She has gone to a good home and the new owners are going to join the list.
Why did I sell her? I am retiring in October after 36+ years in the RCAF
and this is the firs
Congratulations on your advancement to adulthood. Hope you hang around,
maybe you can score a nice C&C back in Ontario.
