Many many moons ago, when I was 12, I stepped aboard a 1972 C & C 35 (the owner went on to buy a 38 on which I crewed and then a 40, by which time I had moved on to girls, cars and beer) as a Foredeck Ape. We had a full set of Ulmer Sails (the predecessor company to UK Sails) so naturally Butch was aboard a number of times to look over the sails. Well one day he was opining on such and such and, I, in my most know-it-all-teenager-way said he was wrong. And I kept insisting on it. Finally Butch looks at me and says "Boy, I have squeezed more seawater outta my socks than you have been over..." I shut up. David F.

Don't know how old it is. Its taken me to Bermuda and Newport. Sadly, it is reaching the end of its useful life. That's no reflection on the workmanship or materials. Sounds like you made a smart choice! Joel 35/3 Annapolis
