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…

It should be a wonderful trip across the Baltic Sea, passing through the Finnish and Swedish archipelagos, via Denmark and Germany.

The hull is still impressively solid and she is powered by 2001 Volvo Pentas, which provides an excellent starting point for the refit I will be undertaking over the coming years. I have already picked up many useful tips from this platform, so thank you for that!

For now, I have one question: does anyone know if the glass used in this boat is tempered glass or standard float glass?

Thanks, and I…

I am in the process of rebuilding the rear cockpit on 360 Commander (it was rotting on one side and sinking onto fuel tanks); the fuel tanks were pulled last week; I am very fortunate to have a friend that works on tanks for a living and is going to test them and/or refabricate them to my choosing.

My boat has 2 tanks that are 200 gallons each; after studying the rear cockpit area I have contemplated having him make a single rectangular tank that would be fitted over the center line of the boat; it would essentially rest on two stingers and some horizonal wooden supports; my reason for taking this approach is that it will allow for easy access to the hardware for the shafts if ever needed (previously under the tanks) better access to the couplings for shaft packing; it will also permit the installation of two…
