Good choice Looks like a deal, as well. Bob is mainly looking for
a boat with a low PHRF rating so he can troll more effectively in the
NG. I would take the Crealock 34 in a heartbeat over the C&C.

Forget that C&C. It's a Chevy Malibu.

The whole idea of the C&C 32 was to keep us sailing while Suzanne finished of
School. Now, after inspecting what will certainly be our next boat, we are
clear on what will be best!
A few days ago we inspected a 1991 C&C 34XL. The boat is very nice looking,
though a bit modern to my eye. The cockpit is very large and comfortable as are
the decks. The rig is quite busy with far more elaborate controls and blocks
than on my older 32. There are all North Sails, 13 of them, some of which have
never been used. The cruising main and Genoa are new. All in all, she's a
pleasing boat ot the eye.
Down below is a very nice interior with more usable accomodations. The head is
larger and has a shower pan. The aft cabin has a berth that is large enough for
someone 6'3. The Nav Station and whole interior is nicely done and well
finished. Electronics are less than 3 years old.
I won't post the name of the boat presently. I'm working out a deal with the
owner, who is buying a Cat. We plan to own this boat by Spring 2005. She rates
around 90-95, though we won't race her. We will be doing some test sails in two
weeks, but I've heard nothing but great things about the 34+ and XL.
This will break Loco's heart!!!

Here's what the boat looks like, though the one I'm looking at has a different
color layout.

Not exactly ideal for my area, that Crealock. The C&C will provide far more fun
on the water, plus I can beat on Loco and Steve even worse than before! At the
moment I have the better, nicer boat. But now it will be FAR faster as well!
The Crealock is beautiful as are most of the Pacific Seacrafts.

You might want to rethink some of that. I have heard a rumor that
Steve and Loco are negotiating for an A-Scow. If so, you might just
want to save your money for good binocs so you can see them before
they disappear over the horizon Speed is always relative. Quality
is a bit more timeless.

The C&C is a nicely finished yacht. The Crealock is better in that regard, but
it will be DIW on some August days here. When I'm in my 60s, the Crealock will
make more sense.

Any Crealock makes a C&C look like junk. You just need to get up the
guts to go where the Crealock are designed to go. Open Ocean, Blue
Water, out of the sight of land, you know that place where your C&C
would be beat to pieces.

Only if you have blinders one.

It doesn't take "guts," it takes either a maladapted personality or angry creditors.

Considering that lots of C&Cs have circumanvigated, you are obviously misinformed on this issue.
Although I'll give you 1/4 credit for taunting Boobsie..

I guess you said bliners on. Not sooooo. Anyone can look at a quality
boat with beefy fittings and see that allthe Pacific seacraft crealock
designed boats far out class a C&C. Any blind person can knock on the
sides of both boats and understand that the Craelock thump like a
brick, and the C&C thump like a thin skinned drum.

Have to dis-agree with you Doug. From your other post I can see why
you might find ocean cruising not to your liking. I think anyone that
hasent been deep sea are the ones with maladapted personalitys. They
do not know what they are missing. I bet Bobspirt who claims to do
some star gazing has never seen a truly dark sky that allows you to
see the millions of stars. He's been smothered with city glare and
smog that blocks out 99.9% of the stars. I bet he's never been on a
swell a mile wide that does it's best to slowly and gently rock you to
sleep. I bet he's never seen the green flash that requires sea level
un-obstructed horizon and crystal clear sky. I bet he's never fought a
storm that he thought might win, or knows what its like to come out
the other side of one in one piece. Most maladapted personalitys are
developed by people that can not venture out and partake in the
unsure, the unknown with no guarrentys. Most maladapted personalitys
tend to stay in sight of land safe and sound.

Now angry creditors, guess that depends on haw angry they are.

Plastic bathroom rubber ducks have circumvigated, but I would not want
be on board one.
