Sailing a C&C32 is not a "sea trial".

If you're going to play the expert, you need to UNDERSTAND the terminology.
There is only one kind of "sea trial", it involves sailing and inspecting
the boat you intend to purchase, not the same model.

Scotty and Mooron are now advocating buying a boat without a sea trial of
any
kind. .
I sailed a C&C 32 twice before buying Alien and drove quite a distance to
do
it.
I think spending time aboard a boat (when possible) is a good idea prior
to
purchase.
