The 30foot C&C is a fine boat and considered a classic. Can be
single-handed. Your stinkpot experience will help. Within a couple of
months of sailing you'll be amazed at you own abilities.

I've got my eye on a 30' c&c.....is this a stable hull to work out the
wrinkles. Guess you can "over jibe" whatever on smaller ones too, but
less square footage is less costly, for sure.

I really like the "dingy sinking by mother boat" I get a funny visual
when I try to imagine the scenario.

Curious to know where you do your sailing. I know south Georgian Bay
the
best and plan to work out of possibly BayPort.

That's a few quickies of the top of my head. But others here might
like to
add some. We've all made mistakes.

Oh yeah.... how could I forget- Spilt beer!!!
