You would hold better with more chain, like 35-50 ft min of 5/16 for your
C&C 34 and scope is very important. So mark you rode and try to get a good
set and put out at least 4 times as much rode as depth but preferably 7

Biggest problem with some sealants/adhesives like 5200 for exterior use is

an acetone dampened rag. So far no detrimental effect on Alianna’s rub rail

There is a lot of interior teak on your 35MKII. The interior finish was a
large part of my decision nearly 20 years ago to buy a MKII and not a MKI
35. My interior teak gets lemon oil once a year if I remember and feel
energetic. Alianna is a 1974 model so 47 years old this year and looking
great.
I cut holes to install my cockpit speakers. Then found out I really did not
like music in the cockpit while under sail. The speaker grills now serve as
vents. I am happy to listen to music in the cabin.

Based on comparison data from the sailing calculator I would say the 35

it cools down.
