On the other hand..... being a 30-1 owner for 20+ years, it is a boat which he and his sweetie can sail without additional help in most conditions. A bigger boat means more effort, maybe more people, more expense.
If he is looking for a party boat (bunches aboard for the weekend) then a 42 would be a better deal, but for getting away for a cozy weekend.... and, as mentioned many times, the outlay for everything for a 30 is considerably less. We haven't heard where he sails, what type of sailing he would like to do, etc. He didn't mention if he had had other boats in the past and is now deciding the cruising life is his goal or whatever.... he mentioned the Landfall, so I surmise he is interested in cruising, maybe in luxury, and in that case a 42 would be a better deal. Live aboard??? I'm still a little suspicious of a 42 for the price of an early 30... problems? But, his brand choice is a great one.

Sorry guys; but there are some positives about owning a bigger boat none of which have been mentioned.because of where I sail and what my sailing agenda is about nowadays and at my age I wish I still had my C&C 30, which I consider the best boat ever built for my venue and my sailing wishes.however if the dude wants a Landfall 42 for whatever reason let him go for it.it's a C&C and a good boat and it offers a lot for those who need a 42 footer to be happy and for a single guy this boat may make him very happy especially if he can get his close friends to help with sailing it and with upkeep.those ones would be keepers in my humble opinion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joe Della Barba via CnC-List Sent: July 5, 2014 11:36 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Talk some sense into me please! Compare the following prices: New main and job for the 30 and the 42. The 42 sails are going to be at least double if not triple. Replacement engine for the 30 and 42. The A4 that most 30s have can be replaced with a used one for $2K or so and a Moyer rebuild is about $6K. I would think the 42 isn't going for less than $15K.

Small boat, small systems. Manual pumps, small lines, small sails, less maintenance, smaller slip fees, etc. Big boat, big systems. Electric pumps, electric shower sump, big expensive lines and sails, increased dockage, propane gas systems and solenoids, etc. lots of expensive stuff to break and replace. Small boat, good feel for the water. Fun to sail. Easy to dock. Easy to see/feel changes in sail trim. Dinghies are a blast to sail! Big boat (even a C&C), less feel for the water, harder to dock. May or may not see/feel changes in sail trim. Summary, smaller boat = all the fun of sailing with less hassle. Dennis C.

I have fallen in a love with the brand of C&C and am really enjoying sailing even though I have only owned the boat a couple months. I am a single 31 year old guy, but I have been thinking a 35-45 footer may have been a better move. There was a 1980 42' foot Landfall sent to me for about the same about of money that I have into my 30 footer! What is every one's thoughts and advice? I am trying to temper my impulsiveness and just learn on and enjoy my 30' to make sure its a sport/lifestyle/hobby for me but dangling the Landfall in front of me for such a great price is tempting!!!
