Hello Bill, Further to my post on centreboards I would first check that the line mechanism is running freely as the mechanism on my centreboard was stuck part...
By way of information, blocked centreboards are more easily freed by using pressure from above. To this end, a watertight access hole on the top of the c/b box...
Hi Mark, good to hear from you again - I didn't think you were keeping a watch on us CC's any more. Hope all is well in Marans; is lugger "Herr Nilsson" still...

At a recent boat jumble I managed to acquire a job lot of 4 Ronstan RF78A headsail swivels. This is the model that comes standard with the CC19 furling system...
Ian I would like to buy one if not already taken. As an aside, at a jumble BEFORE i took receipt of my Cape Cutter, I picked up a miscellaneous bag of bits for...

Has anyone made a boom crutch for a CC? I'm going to need one for the Broads - indeed typically Broads boats have two - one for when moored, and a 'low' one...
