We all remember the black mildew stains on the overhead panels. The C& C
Group wars....

They were black? You really do need google! Or maybe some coffee.
Let me bring you up to speed...again...

BTW.... I had never sailed a Nordica 30 prior to purchase of Overproof....
other than the "test sail" on the day of purchase. That was about a mile.


That's too bad. I sailed a C&C 32 twice before buying Alien. The first time was
not a test sail as I still had Ghost at the time. I've been impressed with the
C&C 25, 29, 33, 34XL, 41 and 32 so far!

Yup! Google it and you'll find quite a few folks writing "good one"

and also
trying to calm a rabid Scotty Potti down!

Don't go paranoid on me Bob....

Please read my post carefully for comprehension this time and pay particular
attention to "had never sailed his latest vessel prior to purchase"

I believe you just confirmed my recollection of events.

This of course leads to the conclusion that any further recollections of
this subject, on my part, be held believable.....

Oh right, the classic bobspittle ploy, make up a lie and then when
caught claim it was a troll.

Bob... you must immediately google those mildew posts of yours as punishment
for that feeble attempt at a cover-up!

That makes sense! I was caught lying about buying the C&C 32 which is a FAR
better boat than the Catalina! Good one!

Bwahahahahahahaha! You simply got snared and you're still PO'd about it.
Priceless! A great troll lives forever!

I found it quite unnecessary to sail the vessel prior to purchase. I knew it
was what I wanted.

The stains were real, but they weren't black. They were just dark areas. As it
turned out there had been velcro glued around the hatches (We think) and the
residue of the glue remained. Acetone took it off with some hard work. The
stains were also found in spots where we couldn't imagine why velcro would be
there, but the acetone took it right off. The only mold we found was in the
freezer part of the fridge and under the sink in the head. Look at the pic and
you'll also notice she has NEW cushions 5" thick that cost almost 3K and were
never used.
And by the way...how do you like my custom Dodger, which I got by selling two
boats for the yard?

If you say so. It's still generally poor practice to buy a boat without at
least sailing a sistership. You won't find many people who will disagree with
that.
