Mark:
Welcome to the list.....there is no place that has more first hand
information on C&C's.
In the Fall of 2005, we sold our Kirby 25 and wanted a bigger boat as
well. The C&C 30 was our first choice. However, we couldn't find one
before the beginning of the 2006 sailing season that was equipped and in
the condition we were hoping for. A search of Yachtworld turned up a
1984 C&C 32 from Racine, Wisconsin....we bought it....no regrets.
My point is if you can't find a C&C 30 that meets your expectations,
there are other C&C's you could consider depending on your price point.
For example, this one was on the list last week....appears like a nice
boat for a reasonable price.......absolutely no connection with the seller.

No matter what you choose, have a complete survey undertaken before
purchase. Good luck.

Hi All,
I'm new to the list. Just joined up as I'm getting serious about
moving up to a bigger boat.
Currently sail a Mirage 24 in Halifax NS Canada, bought it last year,
loved getting back on the water, but it's a little small to spend much
time aboard with my 4 kids.
After extensive online research and scanning Yachtworld and local
boats I've narrowed down on trying to get a C&C 30. Seems to be the
right size - small enough to singlehand, and light enough for our club
crane to hoist, but still big enough to spend some time out on the water.
I've read most everything on the C&C site, including a bunch of the
mailing list archives. Was on a local boat here the other day -
getting an idea of the size and space.
I know the mast step is prone to softening, and the ports will likely
need replacement (if not done already), plus there are the typical
issues with the deck core, chainplates, standing rigging etc that can
be problematic with any older boats.
Any specific advice on things I need to watch for? I have someone
I've chatted with on SailNet who has offered to check out one boat for
me (in Long Island NY there is a nice looking 30 for sale - new diesel
in 2000, well fitted out)
Thanks in advance for the advice,
Mark
