EE's side pieces are about 28 1/2 inches long (some water damage on the ends so you might cut a bit long and adjust) and 8 inches wide with a 15 degree angle on the ends. Front cover is 26 1/2 inches by 7.75 inches. Hope that helps
Do you happen to know the width of the winch support table? I ...

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I wanted to know.

I will go with a Dutton-Lainson winch DL-2000. The actual winch one is a DL-3000 and is really big. Also, cable seems to be of greater width than is recommended. It is either 1/4 or 5/16 and really, really long (I guess that more than 12 ...

Guys:

I am working to rebuild my winch support boards. The ones that it had aren't the original. The winch support has a Dutton-Laiton DL-3000 winch. The previous owner replaced the winch support to fit that new winch. Each support is 28" tall, 12" long and 1 1/2" width. The boards are slanted 70 ...

This web site is a great source for sail specs for almost any boat

Thanks captain Bondo! Thats what I was looking for...

All:

I was searching in the forum for a topic like this and nothing showed up. I was wondering if you guys know the type (symmetric/asymetric) and the dimensions (SL,SF,SMW,) for a spinnaker sail that will fit a C26.

Also what is all the required hardware to have it? Whisker pole? Spinaker pole ...

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out as I'm in the process of filling all the stanchion holes in on my boat. They had been a major reason for all the water that was in the boat.

Just curious how it has been sailing her without the stanchions and life lines.

In my case, the previous ...

For those of you interested, this article from practical sailor covers everything about stanchion bases:

I will document my work and share my experiences later.

Thanks for your input... I searched yesterday after work to read about backing plates. Haven't done so, but I'll do...

I also had the chance to see astrorad's videos about stanchion bases and transom repair and he used 3"x5" thick aluminum for his backing plates. I think his were 1/8" thick. He ...

Hi all:

When I bought my C26 had the stanchions removed. I am in the process of installing new ones. The dimensions of the stanchion base is 3 3/4" long x 2 3/4" width x 1/8" thickness.

I am considering installing backing plates for the stanchion bases. I am planning to get them built at a ...

Sorry for the typo. It should say piece of glass. Just a piece of window glass for a flat surface to mold a flat piece of fiberglass. Sorry I don't have pictures. Its hard to take pictures when your hands are all sticky with resin.

Ok. Got it - a piece of glass. I am planning to close them... not ...

if those gaps are between the berth and the motor well that is what I am currently working on. My concern is carbon monoxide leaking in from the out board.

It is hard to get to but I sanded arond the gap on both sides as best I could. Then i laid up a sheet of fiberglass on a piece pf glass. i ...

Thanks for the tip on the paint remover. I will work as gentle as possible to have that paint removed.

One thing I wanted to share...

When I bought the boat the previous owner told me it was a Chrysler 1976. But when I came across with my HID number it ends in M77L. From the boatsafe.com website I ...

Thanks all. From your comments. I would assume that those gaps come as they are from the factory. If that is so... I wonder what was the purpose?

I guess I will have to decide whether or not to leave them as is.

All of you have good points. If I go with sealing them, I would like to have it done ...

I am repairing gelcoat cracks on my C26 stern as well as some fiberglass cracks in the Stern floor to avoid water leaking into the aft Berth end area. I noticed there are some gaps to the sides (starboard and port). I think that water might zip in from those areas into the Aft Berth (see pictures ...

"The app was developed over a two-year period with BastayaPR, a non-profit organization in Puerto Rico."

Proud to come from such a small island with so many resources to offer.

This weekend while working on the boat spend a couple of minutes of sanding and yes... it was there!

There are some thick layers of paint... And it is "somewhat" visible. After sanding it started to disappeared, so I stopped sanding. I then used acetone and then used some thinner. I was able to ...

Read that too in the forum while searching... I will search, write and ask for advice once I am prepared to work on my boat's sails.

BTW, This is a great forum! With lots and lots of information.

Mine has been torn off. I could see there were some rivet holes, so I would like to have my boat ready for USCG inspection when done.

Another option is to buy a generic plate with the capacity, but I am trying to keep mine as original as possible.

Thanks.

Thank you very much guys. That's a great reference.

And, as for the HID number you are right. It is like showing your SSN on the internet. You wouldn't know who and how it could be used.

One last question, This Chrysler Model/Serial Number. What is it for? Does it have any use for the boat owner ...

Thanks for the answer. Great info... so, the boat has two plaques?

Could someone care to upload a photo? I just want to know what it looks like. My boat is an hour drive away from home. So, I would like to know and be certain what and where I will be looking.

Thanks!

Guys:

I tried searching for this in the forum but so far I haven't had any luck, so... her I go:

I have my boat capacity decal missing. I came by this website (http://www.garzonstudio.com/boat/capacity-decal.html) that makes a replica based on a photo of it. Can anyone of you C26 owners care to ...

From what I've read, I know it should... but mine doesn't have it. It only displays those characters.

Here is the photo...

Hi all:
I am in the process of painting my boat. I checked my HID plate and is very faded. For what I can read it says 348DJ30478. From my USCG nautical course I learned the HID is 12 digits, starting with the MIC.

So I have only 10 digits and don't know how to decode it... If I go backwards.
0478 ...

Hi Belle. I just sent you a PM. Let me know if you have any of these parts available. Thanks!

Thanks EmergenyExit and Rivercruiser for your replies. I will take the measurement this weekend since mine is at a private dock. I just updated my profile picture to show it... :-) I am very happy to have her and looking forward to invest time on her.

As far as stanchions bases, How wide should ...

Well... It seems I am reviving this post. I just bought a C26 and mine doesn't have any stanchions (port and starboard). Stanchions base holes were sealed and seem to be leaking. Having kids and trying to sail as safe as possible I am planning on installing new ones. This post helped me a lot ...

I wonder... Does the stanchions will fit on a C26? I am looking for 6 bases and 6 stanchions.
