It’s good to do some some sailing with your crew before entering in a
race. Get some friends and maybe their friends and go sailing together and
treat your guests to fun on your boat the same as what you would do if
racing. If they have fun word will spread and before you know it you will

I use solder to connect the float switch for my electric bilge pump and
cover the joints with heat shrink tubing then tie the soldered wire joints
off high in the bilge close to the cabin sole. The positive wire is
connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery with in line

You know man. Tell us all please And does it matter: wet or dry on these
older sailboats. A wet bilge is a wet bilge. Hard to avoid on most 1970’s
designs so probably possible on most older C designs. Actually a wet
bilge is not that hard to live with on my boat the way i enjoy sailing.

For Josh about my Bruntons Autoprop. It is the 3 blade H5. It was on
Alianna when I purchased her in 2005. So far i have replaced the hub zinc
once that’s all in 15 years of use in salt water. It is powered by a
Universal M4-30 and has strong reverse and powers Alianna a 35 MK2 at
around 14,000

I think a lot of owners go a bit overboard with seeking perfection in the
cabin sole. My 45 year old 35mkii has original teak snd holly sole. It’s
attached with adhesive to whatever is underneath. I stripped it bare about
12 years ago and lightly sanded then cleaned and applied only 1 coat of

If you haven’t already tried maybe tighten the many bolts that hold the toe
rail on. The butyl tape between it and the hull may be thick enough to take
some tightening. Also apply a few drops of Captain Tolleys creeping crack
filler to the head of each bolt and along the inside edge of the toe
