Try posting more specific questions to the SBO forum because most of them can probably be answered by owners with other makes.
You should try posting your question to the C&C list. First subscribe and post your question. There are lots of 29 owners there that can answer your questions. Follow the info below to subscribe and post. I have a C&C 29 mkII which is an entirely different boat than your mkI.
You can also go to
www.cncphotoalbum.com and look at the "forum/blog" section. There is a new area specifically dedicated to the C&C 29. Post your question there too.
