Upon attempting to fill up my aft water tank, I discovered (...how the surveyor missed this, I have no idea) that the water tank is cracked so tht it does not carry any water. Whatever water I pumped into the tank (10 gallons) ended in either the bilge or soaked through the aft cushions.

Has anyone ever had to replace their entire water tank? I'm at a bit of a loss here.

Thanks,

Hey all,

Just finished velcroing the plexiglass cover to my instrument panel and weatherstripping the companionway. And I'm thinking about beginning my first "large" project - the missing hull panels in the Salon and V Berth.

I followed the conversations back in November 2009, of contacting H&L Lumber. Has any one done this project? The starboard salon paneling is still in place, so I'd need to buy/construct the port salon and the entire v berth.

Anyone have any ideas, any tips? I'm also going to construct an awning of sorts for the cockpit/foredeck.

Thanks all for advice/"good goings"/"you're biting off more than you can chew here, bub."

Does anyone have an idea to the proper poundage for shroud tensions on a 1987 C34?

I'm going with the advice of a sailmaker who suggests "The tops should be tight and the lowers should be snug."

Anyone know anything different?

Thanks so much.

Hey fellas,

Clearing out the lazarettes yesterday, I came across ALOT of hoses. Before the dumpster man comes around, what are they used for? Am I that dense not to see what  ight be so abundantly clear?

I have a 1987 MK I and am always looking for more storage.

Following this link, http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Aft_Locker_Refit_-_Mk_I, must I remove the port side lazarette bottom to get this storage? Seems like a point of no return. Thoughts?

Thanks so much
