C&C 27 Association – Links & Contacts

Contact the C&C 27 Association	President Larry Bayer Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON (905) 646-4547 (General inquiries) Membership Secretary Willi Steinke, 18 Norma Cres. , Toronto, ON M6P 3H1 E-mail or (416) 761-0126 (General inquiries, membership) Note: These contacts are only for membership inquiries. Questions about your boat will *not* be answered. See Other Questions, below and About Our Forum, which tells you about the place where they may already be answered.
This Site:	Submissions to The Fleet, Website issues and so on can be addressed .
Other Questions:	Answers to many technical and performance questions can be found in Overview, Evolution and Black Arts. Address questions about your boat, the wonderful world of C&C 27's and the meaning of life, etc., to the Forum.
Note on Spam:	It's open to question which is worse: spam or the "cure", which seems to be spam-blockers that delete legitimate e-mail. Your chances of getting through are improved immeasurably by sending e-mail with a meaningful subject line, ideally with "C&C 27" in it; using "Hi" as a subject almost guarantees your message will be deleted. Multiple recipients will also put you on the suspect list.

Got a fleet of 27's at your club? We're happy to . Commercial links will appear at our discretion (basically you'll have to offer something that's specific to 27's or C&C's or hard to find). We do not do link exchanges.

General Interest
Acrobat download page	Much of our information will be in Adobe Acrobat format. Here's the latest Acrobat Reader.
Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club	Home club for a good fleet of 27's, with an active Buy-&-Sell page used by many C&C owners.
C&C Owners Regatta	Apparently the biggest owners' party going – anywhere.
C&C Photo Album site	More than photos – an 'Aladdin's Cave' of C&C information. Lots of downloadable manuals and data sheets – some free, some for sale.
Etobicoke Yacht Club	A west-Toronto club with a 27 level-racing program.
ISAF – International Sailing Federation	The international governing body. Much general-interest material, including definitions of the measurement abbreviations and the complete Racing Rules.
Nepean Sailing Club	A veritable 27 heaven, with 30 C&C 27's (two Mark I's, four Mark II's, fifteen Mark III's, five Mark IV's and four Mark V's). The three clubs on this stretch of the Ottawa River can muster 45 27's and interclub racing brings a regular turnout of a dozen boats.
Sweetwater Cruising	A compendium of information about Georgian Bay by an accomplished marine author (and 27 sailor).
Royal Canadian Yacht Club	Six to nine 27's with their own level racing start, with added adrenalin provided by predatory Toronto Island Ferries.
Trapper Yachts	In Britain, a variant 27 was built by Trapper Yachts. Photos, diagrams and a link to an Antiguan Trapper that flew. Trappers had quarterberths instead of our icebox.
Trapper 500	A site specific to the Trapper 500, which is an evolved 27. The site adds a bit of detail on an Austrian firm that built 27's, including this one.
Engine maintenance and repair
Atomic 4 Service Manual	A very good and reasonably priced guide to all aspects of regular maintainance of an Atomic 4.
Indigo Electronics	Manufacturers/sellers of a variety of Atomic 4 upgrades such as electronic ignitions, oil filtration kits, etc.
Moyer Marine	Source for a very comprehensive Atomic 4 manual. Highly recommended, particularly if you are contemplating a major overhaul. Also rebuild service, upgrade kits, parts and an online FAQ with hundreds of troubleshooting tips. MMI's Forum addresses a broad spectrum of maintenance and repair topics.
*Hatches (see also solutions in Black Arts)*
Atkins & Hoyle	Manufacturer/repairer of the Mk III/Mk IV alloy hatch.
Hammerhead Nautical	Long-term Atkins & Hoyle repair specialist, now repairs hatches from various manufacturers.
Select Plastics	Hatch repair specialist in the US.
Parts and service	Read this before contacting suppliers: The people listed in this section are highly skilled at what they do, but with the exception of Noah's and Phil's Foils, they are not Web- or e-mail-oriented. You will get faster service if you phone them than if you e-mail them.
Klacko Spars	Formerly a principal supplier of metal parts to C&C (they operated inside the C&C Custom shop). Source for parts (particularly castings, mast parts, etc.). Like South Shore, not oriented toward e-mail; phone them at 905.825.0015 or see fax number on their web site.
Noah's Marine Supply	Canadian & US source for a broad selection of marine-grade lumber, epoxies, finishing materials and wood parts (pre-fab & to order).
Plastic World	Boat-friendly source of sheet and other plastics plus epoxies, etc. Shapes plastics from your damaged piece, template or specs, usually with fast turnaround.
South Shore Yachts	Source for service and some parts (particularly castings and replacement rubber gaskets for old-style windows). Well regarded but seriously e-mail-challenged. Don't write – phone 905-468-4340 or see fax number on their web site – they return messages promptly.
Other
Marine Cradle Shop	Manufacturers of cradles and trailers for 27's. High quality, reasonable prices.
Phil's Foils	Specialty daggerboard/rudder maker in Ottawa, ON who uses CNC equipment to shape new foils for dinghies and keelboats. Has plans for Mk III and Mk V rudders.
