Thanks Joe, I think the wood still felt solid, the mast boot has failed
which is why there is so much water in there (plus it's in Vancouver,
and it rains, a lot). Seems that replacement is more of a pain and messy
job than particularly difficult, plus the expense of pulling the mast.
Of main concern would be that should I end up buying this one, I will
have to get her back over the Strait, doing that on a new boat, with an
unknown engine, unknown rigging, unknown systems and an owner who's
never sailed across it before should be an interesting adventure :-)
Cheers,
Paul.

Paul. That looks like it needs to be replaced. It is exactly like the one in
my 1979 era C&C 30. Being full of water is not good either , That water
should drain into the bilge. The stringer below may be weak also. Have a
good survey before you buy. Just lower the price for the repair.

Hi Folks,
I had a look at a C&C30 the other day, the mast step is of mild concern. I
thought I read that C&C replaced the wood with aluminium fairly early in the
production to prevent it rotting through. The mast step appears to be a
woody on this one, I am guessing this looks like a rotter, or is this just a
cosmetic piece? Or is the step underneath and is fine? The boat is a 1976.

Any advice welcome.
Cheers,

PS. Anyone want to buy a nice C&C24?
