Mark There is a CS30 called Kittiwake rumoured for sale at the Sunrise Shore Marina just outside Tatamagopuche, NS. Not sure the price. Is the model with the four ports rather than the big long windows.

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. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1988/Cs-30-2638685/Hingham/MA/United-Sta tes#.Ukb-NYasiM4 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.
