Me too. I had to laugh at the sheet stoppers. It looks like the owner had
the same problem I did - a main halyard stopper which wouldn't do the job,
replaced it with a bigger one from another manufacturer. I chose Garhauer,
and it looks like one of those is Garhauer as well - better stopping at half
the price - and you cannot buy those original XA's any more so unless you
can step up to a new triple, you will get an unmatched condition regardless
of brand.
I like the looks of the boat too. Obviously a difference in a boat designed
in the early '70's vs. a 1988 version.

Subject: Re: Stus-List New boat - NOT
Little stuff caught my eye - mismatched sheet stoppers, wiring in the nav
station, screws in the hull liner forward, forward hatch, etc. Obviously
nothing major. The wood is crying for some oil but again that's minor.
As I said, it looked like a nice boat.
Good luck

John,
What obvious DIY upgrades are you seeing?
I studied the photos pretty closely (as again it's not a boat I can pop
over an see) - few wet spots (galley bulkhead), some worn wood work, bit
of rust in one speaker (chainplate leak?)
But other wise I thought it looked good.

Certainly a lot more boat that what you described of the "bargain" boat.
Good luck. I would be a little cautious of the obvious DIY upgrades but
overall a nice looking boat.

So the new boat is a bust!
I was thinking I had a chance to get a great deal, a boat in fair
condition for a good price, just in need of some cosmetic cleaning etc.
Unfortunately no. Surveyor found the boat was full of mold, cushions
wet and moldy, stove rusted beyond repair, bilge full of rain water,
manual bilge pump not functional, anchors rusted to point of needing
replacement, Plus the usual minor issues - scrapes and scuffs in the
gel coat etc.
With the bilge full of water the surveyor was unable to properly check
the keel bolts or the mast step.
All told, just does not make sense. And yes, I know, a few people on
this list warned me of exactly these issues, but I couldn't help from
trying to find that great deal where you catch a seller at just the
right time.
Thanks for the advice and offers of assistance. Rich had offered to
help sail the boat back
Now I'm back looking at the CS 30 I posted. More expensive, but boat
looks in much better condition. Bill, I appreciate the personal
recommendation with the broker. Discussed the boat with him, he says
it has a few cosmetic issues but that the owner died last winter and
the adult, non-sailing, children are selling the boat. He feels they
will likely be open to an offer given the boat will start costing them
winter storage fees within a few weeks.

If it does go ahead I don't want to take that much time off work to
sail the boat all the way home, but I have a local skipper who I was
organizing to bring back the C&C29, and we should be able to organize
getting the boat home in mid Oct if I go ahead with the CS. I'm hoping
if we time it right that I can drive down to Yarmouth and hop on the
boat with him to bring it up the coast of NS.
We'll see how it goes. I'm still willing to stick with my little
Mirage 24 if I can't find the right deal.
