General Discussion

The next generation of the discussion forum is now up and running. Our Discussion Forum and the Classifieds are now referred to as Groups. You can view either group, without being a member of the group, but to Post, you must Join the group.

TIP #1: If you see the "Join" button, just click that to join the group. There are no questions to answer, just a single click. If you do not see the Join button, then you are already a member of the group. We were able to add some club members to the Groups, but that process was bumpy.

TIP #2: When on one of Group pages, the typical menu, along the top, is not displayed. In the upper left corner, you should see something like: "Home > Groups > General Discussion". Just click "Home" and you will return to the CCCC Home page, with our norma…

Hey Commanders,

I have a 1968 35' Commander. The screens in the cabin windows are shot. I went to remove them for re-screening. After removing all the trim, I found the screens (and windows) were in a track about 2-3" below the cabin wall. Meaning that to have access to remove them I would be digging out bungs and removing the teak interior from the boat - which I'm not going to do. How are people re-screening or replacing the cabin windows? I'd like to believe I'm missing something. Thanks,

Derrick

I have been trying to clean the 15 years of sludge from the bottoms of my tanks by pulling the bottom quart of gas out of the tank and then replacing the filters after 1-2 hours for running the boat around. I seem to have quite a bit still left. On my 1964 - 38' there were 2 circular deck plates. Did those sit right above of the fuel intact lines? If yes, is there a way to open up the top of the tank to have access to clean them? My circular deck plates were removed and glassed over when the previous owner repowered the boat.

Thanks,

Steve

Dear Collective,

Some time ago while going through the classifieds at a moment in time when I thought I was ready to purchase and begin my CC journey, I saw in the background photo of the advertised vessel, a beautiful marina setup that I thought was genius.

It looked like adjacent to most moorings was a small, single room shed/sunroom for use as a living space (maybe not for sleeping) for meals or card playing or just Marina life. At the time I was able to search the location of the boat for sale (MIchigan Im pretty sure) and found the Marina in question..

The Europeans have these little "Garden Houses" for weekend outings or daytrips with friends, not to live in. I thought how nice and now that Im retired and no longer tied to a location, IM interested in finding this marina again. If anyone remembers or…
