Happy New Year! We're hoping to get some insights on an issue we are having
with our keel. We recently had our 25 MKII hauled for some winter projects
and were surprised to see that the keel "wiggled" when the boat was on the
travel lift, a little bit laterally.
I've uploaded some photos of the ke
t still up? Could you find a yard in Solomons who would do the work?

Hi all,
The excellent advise a couple weeks ago on replacing standing rigging led
us down a rabbit hole. Long story short, we are now getting ready to have
our 25, Sweet Chariot, moved from Washington DC to Solomons MD on the
Chesapeake. A much longer drive, but better sailing and boat yard option
Boric acid is very effective, but the spiders have to come into direct
contact with it for it to work. I use it in the garden and it protects
against all but squirrels and neglect. Spiders may be less likely to wander
into it though.
For backpacking, I spray permethrin on shoes/pants to knock out
Greetings,
We are planning to replace our standing rigging this fall and I'm trying to
figure out what type of upper fitting is needed for the shrouds. The
owner's manual (1980 C&C 25 mkII) simply says "T-ball" for the forestay and
upper/lower shrouds. Looking around, it appears there are a number
We've been using soft shackles on the toe rail for fenders and a mid-ship
cleat for about three years now. I was curious how they would wear, and
have kept a close eye on them. There has been very minor fraying over time,
even with no chafe protection. They have faded a bit, but otherwise they
are
Applying kiwi grip has been the easiest thing I've ever done on a boat. We
did our cockpit non-skid areas a couple of years ago and it looks great. We
applied more to the cabin top after refinishing and rebedding the handrails
this spring. Since I plan on refinishing the rest of the cabin top and d
The 25 mkII does have a swept back keel. I also have water pool in the same
places, but some old rope looped though the toe rail has been working well.
The lines of the mkII are very nice, and it is a beautiful 25'. Mine is on
a dock with a number of Catalinas and the like. I'm always very pleased
This was one of my first thoughts. The outboard weighs 50lbs, and then
there is another 60lbs of lifepo4 battery and a little 32ah agm in the
lazarette. The electric motor and battery is actually heavier than the
previous 8hp 4-stroke with 3 gallons of gas, but it's distributed
differently. We keep

I've noticed that my little boat, a 25 mkII, is uneven in the water. The
bow is probably 1-2" lower in the water than the stern when at the dock. It
causes water to pool in front of the companionway and the icebox drain
isn't all that effective. She currently sits above her waterline by upwards

I can't speak to electric for a larger vessel, but we switched from an 8hp
Honda outboard to an e-propulsion Navy 3 on our 25 mkII at the start of the
season. It has been great so far, and is practically silent. That did take
a little getting used to. Range anxiety is less than the fuel and carb

Hello list,
We're three days into a minor refurbishing. Compounding out many years of
oxidation (the boat is older than I am, to be fair), fixing some dock rash,
and recoring the cockpit bench at the cabin entrance. I'm sure there is a
boat word for that. At any rate, the instructions and insights
I've had my C&C 25 MK II (1980) for just over a year now. We're having a
great time with it. The cabin is what really drew me to her, and it's just
right for glorified camping! It has an 8 hp Honda outboard long shaft
mounted on the transom. I'm on the Potomac near DC, so the prop stays

No traveler at all! Nor genoa tracks, for that matter. This might be a good
opportunity to add a main traveler. Guests really like that area, though,
so that's a trade off. We don't race, and I haven't missed the genoa tracks
all that much. At worst, the lack of pointing with the toerail blocks can
With the explanations in mind, I took a more informed look at the mast
step. First, I removed the plastic hole covers from the coach room. I poked
around with a paper clip and it is definitely epoxied in there. The other
forward one was cleaner and also only epoxy visible. The aft holes showed

Hi all,
First, having found the archives for this list incredibly helpful, I wanted
to pose a question about the mast step on my C&C 25 II (bought about a year
ago somewhat impulsively, I confess). Occasionally, after prolonged rains,
I'll find some water residue in the cabin under the mast step.
