Anyone familiar with the C&C 41 from late 80's??? We're looking at one
with a wing keel. She's over 100K, but still might be a good boat for
us. She's an aft-cabin model.

That's silly, there's several on the market in the 70s & 80s. Or are you
going to play bait-n-switch again?

And that affects the sailing charactistics in your opinion?

The Jackett designed C&C 41 (as opposed to the earlier Redline 41) is a
good sailing boat. It's early in the evolutionary chain of that group,
it's not as zippy as the later 37+ (who had the brilliant idea of
marketing a 40 footer as a 37?) or 121 but respectable. I like the
cockpit & deck layout except that some of the coaming contours are not
crew-friendly. It's not very roomy for a 41 though.

We have some good friends with a CB version of the C&C 41, he's added a
windlass. They just got back from a winter in the Bahamas.

Yeah, I'm the guy who knows better than to buy a Beneteau, Hunter or
Siedlemann. I'm also the guy who more than doubled his money back on
his boat and now gets to buy an even nicer one. Hey, but then my DSLR
kit is worth more than your boat!
Scotty, I see you're as angry and bitter as ever. Why oh why are you
stuck in your trailer park life and mentality? Why can't you own
something nice in your twilight years, while I get to sail vessels
you'd not even be invited on?
Poor guy! I really do pitty the poor Scotty Potti. This is the same guy
who was positively thrilled when I told him I was buying a Catalina
30...he thought that was a good choice!!! Sheeeesh!

Also, you're the guy who doesn't know how to attribute quotes.

I thought the money wasn't important?

Heck, my boat is worth more than all the boats you've ever owned, added
together.

Have you actually sailed a C&C 41? I have. How about a Baltic 43? I
have. Ever skippered a Hinckley, an Oyster, a Herreshoff, a Saga, a
Waquiez, etc etc?

Hmm. What can you tell me about them? We're looking at both the 42 Doug
Peterson and the 43 (Judel/Vrolik, I think). We've found several nice
examples of each, but I really don't know much about Baltics beyond their
reputation for being fine yachts with solid Finnish construction.

TIA

In the last two years...C&C 36+ XL, C&C 29, Tayana 48 DS, Pearson 39,
Freedom 35 (Thanks Mark!), Bristol 27, C&C 40, Cal 35 to name a few,
and of course on a regular basis J24s, J30. I'm trying out a Tartan 37
and C&C 37 next month. Oh, and I did sail a beautiful H28 with a gaff
rig years ago.
Sorry, Doug. Boats are a nice part time business for me now. I'll be
sailing many different boats this summer as well. Maybe you'd be
interested in the 2002 Mainship 39 I'm selling? It's just 230K and very
much your kind of boat since you're not the sort to ever own a Grand
Banks.

How about a C&C 32 that got sailed more last summer than most boats in
this group COMBINED? Face the facts, even with Suzanne pregnant we were
out sailing. In fact Suzanne wanted to sail Sept. 2nd, though I kept us
close. 9 hours later Thomas was born. For most of you sailing is a
hobby, like collecting stamps. For us it's a lifestyle that we continue
to expand on. It upsets people like Scotty and Donal to see a family
building to bigger boats and plans to sail because they've reached the
mediocre height of their sailing experience. Meanwhile, ours is just
beginning and will easily eclipse theirs!
(See, CN, that's how it's done!)

Oh, and....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Yeah right. IMHO you never actually owned a C&C 32, just faked it. You
sit in front of a computer and fantasize about going sailing, while
dreaming up bizarre statements like marinas requiring thimbles on dock
lines.

Actually, collecting stamps is a very intelligent investment as well as
an educational hobby. What's wrong with doing something that requires a
little brain power?

... For us it's a lifestyle that we continue
to expand on.

Most people who talk about sailing as a "lifestyle" are really talking
about drinking heavily while listening to Jimmy Buffet over & over.
Doesn't appeal to me, but it's a matter of opinion.

Meanwhile, how many different states did you visit by boat last year?



Oh, and....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


Always quick with the witty reply, eh Bubbles?
