If you own a 2010 C2 be sure you get the shroud anchor plate (where the shroud pins into the boat) upgrade. The original equipment is prone to failure and it will be much easier to upgrade before something breaks.
Robbie and Jill put together a list, hopefully they got everyone! Its a pretty easy modification/update.
Done! Thank you Bob.
Nothing like having proactive support.
i'm a european 2010 C2 owner but as not a native speaker. i'm wondering what a 'shoud anchor plate' is. do you have pictures?
It's actually just the pin/eye-bolt that the Sta-Masters bolt to, that thread into the hull. There were some failures of the originals, and the replacements are just a bit larger.

Inspect and replace the dyneema portion of the Cunningham system it rubs on the rotation arm when rotation limiter is released. Also keep after the Dyneema spin pole bridles. Other than that it's just normal maintance. Besides if anything goes wrong you can always blame Ricky he sold you the boat and is a rep (a twofr), just make sure you do it publicly so we all can enjoy the moment.
Publicly? How else would I do it?
I'm still not over blaming him for quitting at Steeplechase a few years back
Come on now Jay, everyone knows that a good sailor always has a plan B ready to go. When it looks like you're about to take a thorough thrashing you pull out the old
