Re: c & C 37+/40 Any opinions or experience?

Just met a fellow C&c37+ owner in Sidney, BC who rushed over to see what our boat was like. He was absolutely supportive of the boat and assured us that the hull layup is bulletproof and...

Re: c & C 37+/40 Any opinions or experience?

We put a tape up the mast a few weeks ago and it was 50ft from deck to halyard top. We figured about 4 ft to the water and few feet for antennae and wind instruments. It meant opting out of my...

Re: What is Worse, Sun, Wind, Rain?

I have sailed several times during gentle snow squalls and it was very quiet and wonderful. I can definitely get cold, but I hate the heat.

Re: How do you make Sailing Easier?

Re: Best 30-31' circa 1985 for the money?

A lot of fine boats mentioned! I would suggest you look at the Independence 31 (Ericson 31C). Classic shape with beautiful reverse stern and out hung rudder. Classic lines and easily driven mod...
