The companionway on my Tartan is similar in the way the hatch slides into a
hood. But mine is made of fiberglass. What I did add was an acrylic tape for
the hatch to slide on. I'ts working great and holding up well after 2 seasons.
I got it on Amazon and it was a recommendation from Tim Jacke
Hi Dave
If I remember correctly you are located in Nova Scotia. Bailey’s Plastics in
East Lawrencetown, NS (the Lawrencetown past Cole Harbour not the one in the
Valley) made the companionway slider and hatch boards for Persistence. They
did this for four or five boats this season and also ca
Thanks Mike - I’m in the GTA actually but I had a place on the the south shore
(my dad lives there)
Plastics are within my workshop capability. Have the frames in the car and
will visit a local metal finishing shop this week to see what they recommend,
will post the info of course.

Hi,
It's time to replace the steering cable on my C&C37+
I called Edson and they do not have the specs for the 37+. They said to
find the chain length and wire length and diameter in order to pick the
right kit.
I would like to have the new part in hand before I pull out the old one.
Does a
I have a C&C 35 mk I. I don't know what what the blocks under the, at least
forward most, keel bolt are made of. It has a sort of wood grain, but feel
like rock. The fiberglass on the forward-most keel bolt has separated on the
starboard side. There's also a top at least mostly resin layer that
Steven,
To be honest, I've never looked closely at that area of my 35-1. If I'm
seeing the photos correctly, the one pic with no bolt shown is the forward
surface of the structure you're questioning. The picture was taken from
near the mast looking aft? So that surface would be the aft "wall" o
There aren't too many options. Measure the height of the pedestal, the length
to the quadrant, and half the circumference of the quadrant, add them together
and you should be close enough to eliminate all the other options. Its
actually a shame cause Rob Ball worked there until he died recentl
Be prepared to replace the idler plate under the pedestal. The original plate
is steel which suffers from corrosion. Edson doesn’t make a direct replacement.
The one that they sell is quite a bit thicker, requiring a spacer between the
cockpit sole and the pedestal. I had a machine shop fab one
I pulled mine and took it to a local rigging shop. They made me one in
about a week.

Steven,
Your photos are causing me to have flashbacks... I dealt with this very
issue shortly after I got my boat: when I tightened that keel bolt I
heard a crunching sound and the washer under the nut sank about a 1/2"
before I realized what was going on.
Yes, there is wood beneath the for
That's sad customer service at Edson.
As someone already said, I believe it's the nine foot cable. I replaced mine
and found I needed to cut the cable. I believe they recommended installing it
and then taping the cable and cutting off the excess cable ends with a hacksaw
or angle grinder.
Still looking for a source for Bed-it butyl tape. Every one I check is sold
out or out of stock. Has anyone bought some recently?
