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.

Falls Short is the Key Word. My 13 foot Dink is great but..........



1) 6'6 bunks are still too short for me. Few boats deal well with this problem.

Perfect for midgets huh?

2) Her head is a bit small.

Whats wrong is it choking on all your sh**

3) I'd prefer a longer anchor roller.

Get a hawspipe
4) Her aft cleat arrangement is not ideal.

Bet there weak as well.

5) Her traveler system needs an upgrade.

To bad they did not do it right the first time huh?

6) She predates those very practical walk-thru transoms by a mile.

walk thru transoms are for idiots.


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?

I would make the hull Nicklecopper

What MUST you
have on your next boat that isn't part of your current vessel's design?


NOTHING.

Anger at what Jonboy?

His bunks are to short, his head is to small,has an improper anchoring
system, his stern cleats are in the wrong place, most likely getting
in the way of the big sewer pipe or ladder, running rigging is not set
up right, and he want's a weak transom that weakens a hull greatly. No
anger, just the facts.

And your Cal 20 is great for small lakes.... but thats about it.

It's pretty obvious Joey.

Actually, Cal 20s have crossed the Pacific, but I wouldn't recommend
it. It does pretty well on the SF bay.. a bit more challenging that
you're typical small lake.

"If there's no wind, row."

Nutsy?

If you had a walk-thru transom, why would you keep the step-ladder?

If I wasn't so damn old, I'd install a cold plate in my chest ice box.

Capitol, after a lot of discussion, removed the beautiful, teak
drop-leaf table and finally gave me the space I wanted in the
Pilothouse.

Really, Capital Yachts did a good job of helping me make the changes
that I wanted for my last boat. Even to suggesting the cold plate for
the ice box, which I over ruled.

I'm a very happy old sailor with my last boat. Works for me!

Glad to hear it, Thom. If only the Gulf 32 was a better sailing boat I'd really
want one.
