Do you have a solar charger if you're on a mooring? The water witch saved
my boat last season. I don't know how long it was pumping, but I was on
shore power so my batteries remained charged (have solar power as well for
when I'm not on shore). Had a bigger leak and when I got to the boat I
could
I've installed the version of the LED tape lights you can get from Home
Hardware, similar to those from the first link. My problem with them, although
they are nice and bright, is that they don't stick perfectly. Have had to use
white electrical tape to help them stick.

The plate and HIN won't necessarily match. Mine don't. The last four digits on
the small plate are R178, whereas the stamped in serial number on the hull ends
in 1177. Maybe mine was manufacturered 11/77, and sold 1/78? No idea

Hi Gene,
I don't think you can use the existing track with Harken. I have an Mk1 but I
think it is the same traveler system as the MK2s from what I remember of a
friend's mk2. I measured the track last year and it wasn't compatible. You can
use the existing holes though. I just did a complete
Hi all,
I've removed the original traveler track on my 78 C 29 MK1.
Removing it is pretty simple in theory, except for a piece of wood trim
that is in the way. After removing the plastic cover from underneath, there
is a piece of wood attached to the wall blocking 9 of the 12 bolts, making

I tried cleaning mine, but they had taken on the smell of mold and wouldn't let
go. Took one apart to experiment. Washed it several times, and used a whole
bottle of febreeze on it. Still stunk like mold. So I got new cushions, and it
looks like a new boat inside! Definitely worth the
I'm about to add some to my engine compartment since I don't think there is
any on my boat. Picked up a roll of Holland Marine Products' insulation from a
member here. What adhesives do people recommend for this?

Hi all,
Since people were asking about traveler cars, I have two traveler cars for sale
One is the Harken 2734 22mm (small boat series) traveler car. MSRP US$284 will
sell for $150 US or $200 Canadian. This one came with my boat and the previous
owner didn't get around to installing it. But I
What is the best length to get? I've read the 1.5x LOA rule, but my boyfriend
is arguing that is too long. Looking to get new jib sheets (7/16"?) and also a
line for my new Harken windward sheeting traveler system for which I have a
1.5m track and want to do a 4:1 purchase (1/4"? - 26 ft?)
I'd be interested in getting some engine acousting insulation as well (also
in Toronto) as I don't think my boat has any in it. At least it doesn't
sound like it does! Can barely hear crew if they are not immediately in
front of me over all of the noise.
Crewed a few races on a C this year (also
On my 29, there are two screw holes in the mast where it attaches. Do you see
screw holes on yours?

I found a local guy on Kijiji (more popular than Craigslist in Canada - same
concept) that had a workshop in his basement, and did upholstery out of that
for a living. Professional marine stores quoted me $4000-6500. I got all new
interior cushions with new foam for $1900 from this local guy.
Having crewed on the same boat in both spinnaker and white sail divisions
(albeit not on a CC 35) the only difference between the
crew assignments is that the pit person does the pole up and down,
and helps to grind if the spin trimmer needs help in high wind (we put the

We cross the cockpit to the small winch on the trimmer's side - I think
basically it will come down to whatever works best once you give it a try
