You guys are fabulous and one of the reasons I am excited that the boat we are likely to end up with turns out to be another C&C. I really appreciate all the advice. One question from the responses- the sea trial. The boat is on the hard with rig up and engine winterized. It had not occurred to me that we would throw it in the water in February (March by the time this would happen) and go for a motor/sail- it is still pretty cold up here, but it makes sense. I can see the importance of this to run the engine and check the prop (Maxprop), and I like the idea of an engine survey, but what else? It will sail like a C&C, so what are the specific goals of the sea trial? I gather that it would then be hauled again and re-winterized? Who pays for the launching, prepping, hauling and re-winterizing? Thanks- Dave
