Reluctantly our CC19 hull no:19 is now for sale. She is very well equipped including 6hp Mariner 4 stroke (6hrs) & mostly freshwater use. Currently moored...
'Dolly Blue' reluctantly for sale. Well equipped, little used to include 6hp Mariner 4 stroke (6hrs) mostly sailed in fresh water including trailer. Email...
This is my first post to this group. I'm considering (belly aching about) buying a trailable 19 foot gaff (or similar) rigged boat, probably second hand. I've...
Welcome to the group Phil I considered all those plus the Crabber 17. The Gipsy was ruled out as too expensive, the Memory a different proposition as more...
As the new owner of CC 007, based on Cowes) I am just back from my shakedown cruise. All very positive but I need advice. The boat came with a tricolour...
Hi Phil I have just been through the same selection process as you, and last week took deleivery of CC 007. Now back from a first "mini cruise" my aspirations...
... Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply regarding why you chose a CC. I thought it was bad luck to rename a boat, but if you are not superstitious, how about: ...
Hi Bill, Thanks for your reply. Having read all of the reviews I can lay my hands on what you say is the conclusion I am stumbling towards. As far as I see it...
... Peter, Can't help with the nav lights as I've kept mine simple with just an all round white at the masthead (under 7m) - I'm seldom out after dark! For the...
Hi Peter, I will be in Cowes this Friday, Saturday and Sunday as we are in the Round the Island Race. Happy to meet on Friday for a chat - my mobile number is...
I have to agree with Bill, the CC is a great boat, and very versatile. In 2003, a cc19 called Quest entered the Round the Island Race, recorded the best time,...
Phil - both are corrrect I suppose but the engine being noisier as it's in the cockpit with you - yes but it's so handy to have a well rather than the engine...
Good luck in the RTI Graham - all CC's will be cheering you and Sanuk! Bill CC53 'Capable' I have to agree with Bill, the CC is a great boat, and very...
Phil - I see I failed to answer two of your questions CCs do seem to hold their value - 2nd hand ones are selling for more than I paid for mine. Handling under...
A mont ago I collected a shining new CC19 from Rochdale. I had put my name down several years ago, and almost forgot about it. I had planned on trying one...
Hi Peter, Essential kit depends on where you intend to sail, and where your boat will be kept (trailer, marina, mooring etc). There is a minimum amount of...
I agree with Peter, seriously consider keeping things simple. In your wish-list, the only thing that will require 12v electrics are nav lights and internal...
An excellent list Graham and I agree with all of it. This is much more fun than working so I'd better not dwell on it now but will on return home this evening!...
... advise on the things I ... Hi Peter, let me share my experiences. We opted for a canoe-style tender as we thought it would tow better. Have a look in the...
Thank you for all the ideas. The general concensus seems to be KIST (keep it simple, stupid). My plans for a microwave may need to be reconsidered. I am...
KISS is very sensible. I am using my 2hp Honda as the CC's engine at the moment (on a river) and it pushes her along perfectly well. The main outboard is a 4HP...
Bill, Re your mention of solar panels, could you say what type you have bought as am interested in doing the same, do you have a regulator as well? Regards ...
In place of installing an electrical system, I bought a FIAMM PPS 250 HD portable power station ( € 275,-) It is 16 kg. But has enough capacity for Raymarine...
Again, well done Graham for his efforts in the 2007 Round the Island Race. Thoughts are already turning to next year when it would be nice to put the Shrimper...
Please find below our report for the race. Our team motto was 'safe, fast and happy' - I think we managed all three. Graham Round the Island Race - 2007 The...
As the owner of CC 75 "Belladonna" (enjoying our first season on Derwentwater in Cumbria) could I ask more experienced owners how they gauge wind direction?...
Had a glitch with the last post... Lake sailing is always challenging- Derwentwater and Ullswater are especially challenging! I have seen boats on their ear on...
