Who’s Laughing Now?
By Greg Horvath as told to Bruce Niederer
The following photos detail some recent cabin sole repairs made by the owner and crew of Jester, a 2005 C&C 99. Jester is well equipped and has been meticulously maintained by her skipper and only owner, Greg Horvath. Jester has only sailed in fresh water and is stored indoors during the winter. She is also the boat I’ve raced aboard here in Saginaw Bay as well as around the Great Lakes including the Port Huron to Mackinaw Race and the Ugotta Regatta in Harbor Springs.
The story of the repair process would not be complete without mentioning the outstanding customer service from the folks at C&C. Greg reports that from his first contact with a C&C rep throughout the entire repair process he was treated with respect and that he felt they were genuinely concerned about taking care of the problem. They provided, at no cost, enough parts and wood to complete three times the work Jester needed.
They also supplied the exact same finish coating for the floor that they use in the factory. Some manufacturers won’t even tell you the color of the gelcoat they use but with C&C they were completely forthcoming with any information we needed. We appreciate good customer service here at GBI, so kudos to C&C!
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words—so let’s get to it.
