Captain Neal, He's da MAN!
 

My Coronado was made in 1971 and is hull number 91

That works out to over 400 boats in four years. JUST
the same pace as the C&C 27.

Everbody who knows anything at all knows the
C&C 27 is a joke of a boat.

It's small, it's lightly built, it uses cheap fittings,


Unlike the Coronado which gets the "cheapest construction" nod from Don Casey:
http://www.sailnet.com/collections/a...leid=caseyd017

it's slower than a well-sailed Coronado 27, it isn't


But the Coronado PHRH is 230, while the C&C is 180 for the Mark 3.

even half as seaworthy as a Coronado 27 and I
could go on and on. The poor little C&C 27 was
knocked out of a mold on the cheap as a day
sailer and entry level round the buoys pretend
racer. It has no heritage, it has no class, it has
no real value.


That's not what the review says:

Almost 1000 C&C 27s were made in a 12 year run. The Coronado 27 only had a 4 year run
before the company went belly up.

Don Casey is a magazine editor HACK who doesn't
know what he's talking about. He's a has-been,
never was, wannabe who wrote because he was
too chicken to live the life of a sailor.
He's NOBODY! If the Coronado 27 is so cheaply
and lightly built tell me why at 26'8" and ten inches
less beam she weighs more than the C&C 27 at 27' 4".

Mauve cushions that one cannot contrast with the yellow because,
unlike your cheap thin boat, one cannot see right through the topsides
on mine.

Much as I hate to say anything on behalf of Jane. his C&C is 3 times more

boat
than any coronado.
And the worst part of that is that even you know it.


I only know one C & C owner ... and he wants a better boat.

I only know one Coronado owner .... and he seems to be happy with his boat.

Who do you know with a C&C. You can't mean me, since I've made the deal for a
bigger C&C. Same great superior quality. Faster than your boat too!

A Beneteau owner defends a Coronado owner.

So your POS is thirty years old?

My sails are worth more than your boat. My comic book collection is
worth ten times what your boat is worth.

....zero bids. With not reserve, does this mean someone can get it for $900?

Well, yes. It wouldn't work for me, as it's 3000+ miles away,
but this is the epitome of a motivated seller. It's not the
first time this boat's been listed on ebay. Don't know why it
didn't sell the first time.


Because the time has come for this boat go to the landfill?
