It took a HURRICANE to snuff it out! Then the Insurance company got it.

Mine was extremely well-built and, after 30 years, had no structural problems. It is roomy for a 25-footer and the interior setup was fine, except there was no permanent home for a stove. I found the boat fast and easy to sail, but initially tender. I would get bashed around when big powerboats threw wakes at me while I was motoring. While sailing, the boat would firm up at about a 25- or 30-degree heel and just stay there. It is an excellent boat for lake and coastal sailing. I don't know how the boat crossed the Atlantic, but I'm certain it was not on its own bottom. It had to be shipped over there on a freighter. If you replace the engine with an outboard, you will have tons of storage under the cockpit. However, in choppy seas and big wakes, the prop will be coming out of the water. Putting a diesel into the boat would cost more than the boat is worth. Good luck if you decide to buy it.

I really like how it looks, and I have a bit of a weak spot for IOR class boats J Thing is, I couldn't find much information about this boat, nobody I know in Holland has ever heard of C&C Yachts. So far, I've learned it's Canadian build (1974). Makes me wonder how it got to this side of the pond, are they such seaworthy boats? But what I really would like to know, what are its strong and weak points? What should I be looking for when I go out to look at this boat? The seller has already informed me that the balsa core at the stanchion bases is bad and needs to be repaired. The seller has dismounted all the hardware, including engine and saildrive. It has an inboard gasoline engine, but frankly I'm scared of gasoline inboards so if I buy this boat, I'll try to exclude the engine (or maybe trade it for an outboard). Thank you for any advice! Regards, Sander The Netherlands. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com <http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/> CnC-List@cnc-list.com <http://us.mc1844.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=CnC-List@cnc-list.com>
