Oh No!!! Mister Bill!!!!!!!
Well, it's another miserable day for Sloco and the rest of you.... But it's a sweet day again for Capt. RB. Last night we pretty much settled on buying the C&C 99 for next season. There's still a little matter of a test sail, but I have little doubt that the boat will be fantastic. It will be interesting to see how much we'll make on Heart of Gold, but my guess will be around 10K. http://tinyurl.com/ytuwq6 See ya later! RB 35s5 NY |

You have a pretty nice boat with an attractive interior and a fair turn of speed. AFAIK you don't engage in club or level racing. So you're giving up your nice racer/cruiser for a boat that's more racer than cruiser. I've been aboard 99s and frankly I think they are terribly spartan and bordering on ugly inside. The one owner I spoke with told me of all the boats he's owned--nine, including a Mumm 30 and OD35--the C&C 99 is the most difficult to sail well and to her rating. He said it's a fussy boat that requires constant attention from the helm to extract the performance promised by the manufacturer. He also remarked that the boat was not particularly comfortable, whatever that means. This was last year, and he disliked the boat enough that I'm confident he's sold it by now. With all this money you've been flaunting, I'm surprised you're not considering a newer Tartan 40-something or a Sabre. Even an X-boat or a Sweden Yachts of 40 or so feet would seem more to the point, especially with your growing family. I don't even board the C&Cs any longer at boat shows. Where they used to be high quality yachts with decent interiors and good sailing habits, I think they've followed the cheap Euro charter boat philosophy of late, with homely interiors, lots of flimsy plastic, and prices that will buy much nicer boats from a variety of manufacturers. Please explain. Max |

What need would Bob have with a cruising boat like a Sabre or Tartan? He has no desire for a boat designed for longer cruises. In fact, the extra 8K lbs would just be a liability trying to leave the dock. Bob is looking for a lighter, faster daysailer that provides the most fun on a 1 hour jaunt with a pickup crew. Nothing wrong with that, Bob is just acknowledging that the performance is more important to him right now than the comfort. As for his "growing" family, it will be a few years before Thom (and any additions) are taking up much space on a daysailer; Bob will be selling 99 in a year or two anyways. |

Oh No!!! Mister Bill!!!!!!!
Congratulations are in order! I am very happy for you. I know you are a
person who makes very wise choices after careful consideration. The C&C 99 will serve you well. You have sailed many different types of boats and sail on an almost daily basis so I know you will enjoy the 99 from a seasoned perspective. At this point in your life I would urge you to buy a brand new one outfitted exactly as you desire. Don't skimp in any way as life is too short and too precious to be spent counting pennies when enjoyment pays back in dollars. Again, let me be first to offer a hearty congratulations and wishes for the entire family to benefit from maximum enjoyment. Bob Crantz |

Bob Crantz Will not serve anyone well offshore with that big assed open stern. Nothing to keep a huge wave from flopping aboard astern and washing everything away, just like that Ozzy fellow got washed over with the 12 meter wave this week. He was even harnessed in. Dont take that day sailor out on the ocean Rob, unless you name her Death Wish. Joe |
