Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

One of the many reasons I love my 34+. No cockpit drains and no open transom except when you want it. Dave > On Jan 4, 2019, at 7:30 PM, Rob Ball via CnC-List > wrote: > > When I first worked at C&C, I did a number of calculations figuring out how > big the drains had to be, in order to emp

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains - stories version

I also have a 35mkII and I know for a fact that there were never 4 thru hulls. Mine aft ones were always teed to the forward ones. The aft ones always held water as the hoses went straight down and looped back up over the partial bulkheads before connecting to the forward ones. I recently improv

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

Interesting. I’ve always thought that open cockpits made sense. I remember the days of concern about open transoms. They’re everywhere now… Regards, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit > On Jan 4, 2019, at 7:30 PM,

Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

When I first worked at C&C, I did a number of calculations figuring out how big the drains had to be, in order to empty the cockpit quickly enough . . . . . Later on, of course we did some open transoms - dangerous everyone said - but it turned out they were actually safer . . . . . Rob Ball.

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains - stories version

Many races also have specific requirements around the size of scuppers vs. cockpit volume. From: CnC-List on behalf of Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: January 4, 2019 2:12:27 PM To: CnClist Cc: Dennis C. Subject: Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains - stories

And the 35 MK1 has a very low companionway/bridge deck but lots of volume to fill with water below decks. I could be about knee deep in water in the MKIi cockpit not the same in the MKI. On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 6:13 PM Dennis C. via CnC-List wrote: > Be interesting to plug them, fill the cockpit

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains - stories version

Be interesting to plug them, fill the cockpit with a few inches of water and see how fast they drain. I'm guessing marine architects have guidelines for how big the flow area for scuppers has to be for a certain area of cockpit. ABYC may even have such a guide. My point is if there were original

Dwight Same here.  The aft cockpit valves were removed and the aft scuppers were T'ed to the forward valves.  When I was getting the bottom of the boat ready for paint I could make out the where they had been.  It was most likely done at the factory as /Fireball/ was campaigned by C&C in the

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains - stories version

On my C&C 35 MKII the after cockpit drain seacocks have been removed. The hoses for the aft cockpit drains cross over and exit into the forward cockpit drain seacocks. On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 3:07 AM Lee Youngblood via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi Don, > > I have a 1974 C&C 35-II

Hi Don, I have a 1974 C&C 35-II with the same drain plan. I’ve sailed in >34kts in Puget Sound (I didn’t look after that) and some puffs were around 50 - reported by other cruising boats, returning from the same raft-up. I should have had the third reef in, but had my hands full by then. Dep

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

With all this discussion of the cockpit drains I went out to my boat (C&C35 MkII, which spends winter in my side yard) to check the layout and take some measurements.  The two scupper valves are 9" from the centerline (18" apart) and are approx. 20" below the waterline.  The cockpit deck (floor

Re: Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

As I recall, on my 35-1 it takes 15-20 degrees for water to emerge from the leeward steering station scupper. That's just when it's starting to get fun! Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 11:16 AM Garry Cross via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Understan

Stus-List Cockpit scupper drains

Just to piggyback on the stuck seacock thread. My buddy is a salvor. He gets the call when a boat on our bayou is on the bottom. A significant percentage of the sinkings involve plugged cockpit scupper drains. Leaves and/or debris plug the drain(s). The cockpit fills with rain water. The
