I have a C&C 30 1972 vintage hull # 40
The gas fuel tank is rectangular and of unknown age and or material and has the printed words RAC??? in a 6" high diamond <> shape on it. Who made it and are they still in business?
I dont know the material, age or condition of the tank. Do you have any information on this tank and if it was an origional installation or later replacement?
My previous 1979 C&C 30 hull # 350 and a 1974 model I looked at and both had cylindrical stainless or monel tanks.
What cost and replacement types are available for my tank if needed ?

A similar vintage Viking 33 (C&C) had a tank leak while people were partying aboard and only a visitor noticed the gas smell and discovered the bilge full of gas. (People were smoking at the time) Close call.

Also my boat It is different as the shaft is directly on center line and the rudder post tube only has one brace to the rear. Newer models have three braces to the hull.
I am replacing the tiller with a wheel and wonder should I rebrace the tube?? Do you sell any drive wheels, pulleys or parts to fit the Edson system?
Do you carry any rudder post top fittings for this change ??
Do you sell the molded rudder halves for the C&C 30 rudder repairs, or just the full rudder and shaft and at what cost?

I used this chat site a few years ago when I had a C&C 29. I now have a Landfall 38 and came back to the site. It seems that there used to be a lot more activity before. Have C&C owners moved on to some other chat site?

It sounds like your tank is aluminum as where the original tanks. Who made it and what does RAC mean, I don't know. The tank should last forever if there are no abrasive issues and it is grounded. The grounding point is on the bottom of the tank and therefor missed often by surveyors/owners. If you are unsure of the condition, have an expert look at it. He may do a little 'tap' test to see if there are weakened spots in the aluminum.

I recently purchased a 1972 C&C 27 Mk1, hull 167. The tank is polyolefin with a manufacture date of 1991. Seems to be in fine shape, I might could ask the previous owner where he got it if you want.

We have a C&C 35MKIII k/c (Haleakula) and are on the Chesapeake also. We are tied up at the Maryland Yacht Club on the Patapsco River (Rock Creek actually) There are many C&C in our area. We anchor out in Annapolis quite frequently as well as Magothy, Chester River, Wharton Creek and the Sassafrass. St Micheals and Oxford are also favorite areas.

There is a C&C association on the Bay. Anyone belong to it?

Look us up sometime.

The main forum for C&C owners now is the one provided on the cncphotoalbum.com website. Go to the "Join our Email List" item and subscribe. You'll recognize a lot of old faces there.

Hi everybody, I recently prchased a 1976 C&C 24. Unfortunately someone stole the tiller of the boat while at the marina on the hard. I need help locating a replacement or the configuration for a new one. I know the butt end is 2" wide thank you all and have a safe and good season.
