Due to age and diminishing sailing ambitions, I am relinquishing my 1983
Camper & Nicholson 35. In this market, a barter for a smaller boat may
work better than an outright sale. In short, if you own a Contessa 26,
Morris Francis or H28 (or similar) and desire to move up to one of the
premier cruising yachts, maybe we can work out a deal. Reply to my email
for details if interested.
We are located in Connecticut on Long Island Sound in the US

Looks like a fine boat but the draught is a bit much for many folks, myself
included. Good luck, though, in your downsizing. You've got the right idea.
Too many folks just go bigger and bigger when smaller and smaller is
probably more suitable as one ages. My 27-footer has a 3.5 foot draught and
still does blue water with aplomb. IMO, a 'go anywhere' boat is a better
choice any day than a deep draught blue water only vessel. Why put limits on
your cruising grounds?
