c&c 30 mki a,b,c,etc.. question

[Csobanc]

Does anyone know when did C&C change the keel mast support (in the hull) from wood to aluminium? I think this was done in the late 70's before the mkii model... but not sure. Any issues with the wood support vs the aluminium?

Also, was there hot water heater, pressure water, and/or shower in the mki series? Looking through the old c&c brossures it seems these were not included... has anyone done a successful conversion?

Thanks for any input...

It was wood with the '76, not sure if that has show any weakness since the '80s.

I never saw hot water,ressure water, or shower in a 30-1.

But it's a wonderful sailboat.
