I went sailing yesterday afternoon and at one point decided to heave to. I'd never done this on my C&C before... all my previous experience heaving to was on a Catalina 22.
I tried several times, but no matter what I did I still ended up sailing, albeit slowly.
Is the CC27 just one of those boats that doesn't heave to well? Or is there a trick?
Just wanted to pop in and say I got my new roller furler installed and I'm really loving it.
I got the unit and a new genoa from Knighton Sailmakers (in Sarasota, Florida). I paid $1,250 US for the furler which seemed pretty reasonable to me since the list is closer to $1700 US.
The unit works fantastic and its really making life easy. One less reason to have to crawl out of the cockpit in a blow.
If I have any negative experiences with it in future I'll be sure to update this thread.
In the Black Arts section there is a download for the working sketches. This link does not work for me (using either Firefox or Chrome).
Is there another location? All I needed was just the plain PDF files, not the second special package.
Wow, I just saw your reply. Not sure why I didn't notice it before now. Some really great information here... thank you very much.
I've decided to put the self-steering on the back burner for the moment (2-3 more months) and purchase a roller furling system first. The unit I'm getting is the Harken Unit 0 Mk4. I have to wait 3 weeks before getting it because the new genoa is being made.
If anyone has any negative input on the Harken Unit 0 I'd love to hear it before I install this baby. I can still change the model, if needed.
Hi Chris,
I just placed some AC images on my Picasa site. The last 5 images are the ones in question. I couldn't get a really good shot of the AC unit itself, I didn't weant to tear apart the cabinetry there, but I took shots of all the visible parts.
Here is the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/danny.agle/MyBoat#
You can click on the images there to zoom in. Doing so well let you read many of the details on the AC unit itself. I didn't take a photo of both vents... only the vent blowing into the V-berth is shown. There is also a vent blowing into the salon.
Hope those help.
Hmm. Good points. I hadn't even thought of the power budget yet. Solar panels are on my "to do" list, but are closer to the bottom.
I few months ago I was looking at wind vanes. The prices are 2-3 times what the electronic systems. It might be worth just splurging on this since a) I'll need one down the road anyway, and b) saves me from having to get solar panels and re-arrange my electrical system now.
I did a search to find Midnight Flyer's results but nothing came up. I'm interested to find out what Marcus purchased. I am considering using <a href="http://www.windpilot.com/en/Ra/raproen.html" target="_new">WindPilot Pacific Light</a> which is relatively inexpensive (~$2,500) and had decent feedback and a couple of sites.
I'm in the market for self-steering. I'd like to add this because most of my sailing is single-handed and the trips last for 8-10 hours. It would be nice to be able to continue sailing when I need to use the head, rather than heave to like I do now. (Getting food, reading a book, and fishing would be nice to do also).
Does anyone have recommendations for a Mk I? I'm open to anything, and in fact I would consider having redundant systems since there may come a time in the year or two where I'll be making much longer passages (weeks at a time) and self-steering might be critical.

Hi,
I'm just down in Sarasota and have an air-conditioner on my Mark I. When I bought the boat it was already in there, so I don't have the details in my head. I'll look at it tonight when I get back to the boat and write down any details I see.
I'm not sure how different the interiors are between and MKI and a MKII, but since your practically next door to me you could come on down and check it out.

I bought a Mark I a couple days ago and I noticed that the HIN does not seem to conform with the ones shown on the Evolutions page.
Mine reads: CC27 13 71
This all makes sense to me since its a C&C 27 built in 1971. I was just wondering what, if anything, the difference in the HIN format means. Its missing a significant number of digits.
