Page 21: Fresh Water System
Galley Systems (cont.) Ice Box/Refrigerator- C&C 27s are equipped with an icebox Replenish ice as needed every other day and eat most vulnerable foods first…raw meats, berries.. The space works well if kept organized. It is best to keep meats and heavy liquids close to the bottom and put produce, eggs and cheeses up higher. -
Page 22: Head System
Head Systems Head/Holding Tank C&C 27s have a manual marine toilet emptying into a 20 gallon holding tank located forward under the v-berth port side. Plan on 3 gallons/per person /per day capacity which means pumping out approximately every other day on an extended trip. Please follow the steps below for proper head use (instructions also next to head) 1) Open seacock for intake 2) Move wet/dry bowl selector left to flush (towards handle) and pump handle to add... - Page 23 Head Systems (cont.) Steps to Pumping out the Holding Tank: 1) Locate “Waste” deck plate and plan your docking approach to the pump-out station. 2) Tie Bow/Stern and spring lines to assure your boat is stable before beginning to pump out tank. 3) Locate deck key and open fitting making sure not to drop overboard! 4) Run pump hose into water, open red valve and prime with seawater by pushing the green button to turn on.

Page 24: Anchor System
Anchor System Makai is equipped with a Danforth anchor with 30’ of chain and 100’ of 7/16” twisted nylon line marked in 30’ increments with yellow tags. Ground tackle is stowed in the chain locker accessed from the foredeck. C&C 27s draw 4.8 feet so best to allow for a minimum of 10 ft. clearance. Never anchor in less than a 3:1 ratio line to water depth 4/5:1 is best 7-10:1 for storms. -
Page 25: Sails And Rigging
Sails and Rigging C&C 27s are designed as performance pocket cruisers. Full sail can be carried in up to18 knots but reduce sail at whatever point feels appropriate for the conditions and crew. Main Sail adjustments- Outhaul and boom vang adjustments run to deck clutches then cockpit winches. - Page 26 Main Sheet/Traveler Backstay adjustment Raising and Lowering the Main are rigged to hold up the boom with a topping lift. Never open topping lift cleat without C&C 27s controlling weight of boom! You could give someone a head injury. Rigging the Main: To rig the main, first un-attach halyard from the end of the boom.
- Page 27 Reefing the main When the wind forecast calls for strong winds or you feel uncomfortable in the current conditions, reefing the main sail is a good option to decrease the boats power. The main has two reef points with each reefing line (white-1 reef, red-2 reef) running along the boom forward then aft along the deck to a winch accessible port of the companionway.

Page 30: Roller Furling Headsail
Roller Furling Headsail- Working as a genoa or any number of shorter sail sizes, this furling system works well. Best to ease the furling line slowly by keeping a little tension on the furling line when opening the sail on windy days to avoid a snarl (override) up front. Also, furling the sail works easier if you head downwind to a broad reach on a windy day. -
