Forespar gunmount self-tacking jib boom and roller furling jib in
lieu of the Camberspar. This has been done on other freedoms and I
like it, but expensive.
Doyle Stack Pack on main. I have the Mack Pack, but still quite fussy.
Wish it would point a little higher, but not in the nature of the
beast.

Try to keep this thread clean, folks!

We all love our boats. My C&C 32 has proven to be an all around great boat. But
there are some areas where she falls short and I'd make changes if I wasn't
moving up.

1) 6'6 bunks are still too short for me. Few boats deal well with this problem.
2) Her head is a bit small.
3) I'd prefer a longer anchor roller.
4) Her aft cleat arrangement is not ideal.
5) Her traveler system needs an upgrade.
6) She predates those very practical walk-thru transoms by a mile.

Some items can be fixed...some would be a bit involved. Now, what aspect of
your boat's performance and ergonomics would you change and how? What MUST you
have on your next boat that isn't part of your current vessel's design?

Good question... It's not practical but I would like a regular
traveller on my Cal 20. Other than that and a better motor mount, I
can't really think of anything.

If it's not pratical why would you want it?
Afraid that 2 hp might rip off your transom?

Lost the arguments in the political arena, now you're on to looking
like a fool regarding sailing topics... got it.

It's not practical because I would like to better control the position
of the boom, but I would have to redo the entire mainsheet set up, and
I like using the barney post more than I care about boom position.

As far as the engine goes, I hardly ever use it, but it's a 4 horse,
2 stroke, and it weighs about 35 pounds. The motor mount gets stuck
some times when all the way down. Not a big deal for me, but when
my friend uses the boat, she has trouble with it.
