Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

Thanks for your positive comments, Mrs Pineridge.

Strangely my investigations into the 44 have brought me to look very seriously at a C&C 45 which was built purely as a blue water racer but has...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

Hi GL,

Can't fault the fact that you are giving me plenty to think about. There is some really good, well thought through points here which I'll take into account.

It's possible that I may not...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

I've been coming to this conclusion. Must find out what a water maker will cost me. Can't imagine they'd been cheap but probably, to be realistic, no more than the cost of tearing our old tanks and...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

I know I've been quiet for a couple of days. I have been reading posts quickly but I've had one of my children (adult) visiting from the other end of the country and I've hosted family gatherings...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

This is precisely the type of advice I am hoping to get. I don't know the boat and, yes, she'll be a liveaboard and do some serious cruising. The first trip will be to bring her from wherever she's...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

I am concerned about consequences to the boat's balance if I add davits, the dinghy and solar panels. That's going to add a bit of weight a long way back from the centre of balance and it may affect...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

As it turned out, I've been able to track down Rob Ball, made initial contact and I've posed the tankage and water maker questions to him. It may take a little time to get the answers - it is spring...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

I've sailed the Bennys on more than one occasion. Lovely comfortable boat but not what I want for serious off-shore use... (I can already imagine the Beneteau owners picking up the sharp stones to...

"You might try tracking down Rob Ball to ask him the question"

What a great idea! That hadn't struck me at all. But now that you mention it...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

Hi Mike. Thanks for sharing. Yes, draft is deeper and a factor for consideration but I'm not that concerned about it having had a 7' (2.1 metre) draft on a previous 43' yacht. The C&C 44s are less...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

Quite a bit to digest there from everyone... I do appreciate the comments from you all. And I'll check out those alternative designs a couple of people suggested. Not a fixed decision to go witht...

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

That's good information, Eleuthera. Thank you. I'll take a look at the Bavaria boats.

Re: Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

Thanks for your feedback, Kabball.

Yes, I'd heard that the C&C 41 was similar. Rob Ball, of course, is a legendary designer and these boats have a great reputation. Naturally I'm trying to get...

Seeking wisdom about the C&C 44

I'm in the process of looking for my next boat - having severe problems living back on solid ground - and am starting to take a serious look at the C&C 44s. From the research I've done to date, they...
