C&C Yachts Mega - Hull; Keel; Rudder; Templates and Tolerances

May 15, 1978
3. Hull. All hulls must be build of fiberglass, from tooling built by C&C Yachts from
master tooling. No hull mold may be altered without class approval. Lay-up and other
construction details must be in accordance with the plans and specifications of C & C
Yachts.
Hulls may not be faired beyond the factory-delivered state, except during normal
maintenance including sanding with normal sanding blocks or power equipment, etc.
Intentional efforts to make a factory-delivered hull more fair are illegal.
All hulls will be weighed upon completion at the factory, and their weight brought up to a
specified weight by the addition of lead correctors at specified locations fore and aft. The
base hull weight and corrector weights will be entered on the official measurement
certificate and maintenance record to be kept aboard at all times. The correcter weights
will be specified fore and aft in such a manner as to maintain the center of gravity
location, in all hulls as identically as possible.
4. Keel. All keels must be constructed of cast iron only, except for surface finishing
materials. All keels must be supplied by C & C Yachts or a builder approved by them.
Keels must be free to be raised as intended by the designer, and nothing may be used to
fill or fair the gap between the keel and its trunk where it leaves the hull. Fairing the keel
is legal, as long as the web meets the design dimensions and the bulb fits the templates
according to the design drawings. No keel may extend beyond a fixed distance from the
bottom of the boat.
5. Rudder. All rudders must be supplied by C & C Yachts or an approved builder. Rudders
may be faired, as long as they fit the templates according to the design drawings. The
rudder mourning on the hull may not be changed.
5. 5 Templates and Tolerances. The Technical Committee will decide tolerances and obtain
and maintain templates to measure hull, keel and rudder shape. The allowable tolerances
in hull, keel and rudder shape, hull weight, mast weight and c. g., sail dimensions and
weights and other measurement data will be maintained privately by the Technical
Committee, and will not be made public to class members or others unless deemed
necessary.
6. Tiller & Hiking Stick. Tiller and hiking stick are completely optional.
