Interesting choice and glad to hear I’m not the only one. I had a 25 Mk I then
a 33 MkII C/B and after a number of weeks spent each summer in the North
Channel of Lake Huron and a few passages in less than ideal conditions I
started looking for a 37+ which I thought would be the ideal boat but
I had a Bruce on my 33 MkII and once I attached a long enough piece of chain
and rode it was great in the North Channel. I would recommend it but when I
bought a new anchor for my current boat I went for a Rocna and it might even be
better.

Since this seems to be 'true confessions' week, I must confess that I sold
my C&C (33 Mk II) last summer and replaced it with a Saga 35. A major
reason I could rationalize such a move is that Sagas were built by the same
craftsmen that built C&C's in the late 90's early 2000's after all remnant

Not sure which lines you want the clutches to hold secure but have you thought
of mounting the clutches on the mast as opposed to on deck? They can be

I agree, clean the terminals first, it’s worked for me on cars a couple times.

Usually corrosion is the culprit. Clean the terminals on the starter wires.
