I started sailing 6 years ago went from a Catalina 22 to an oday 25 then j24 to a c&c 40 now I have the best of both worlds. Cruising and performance
to get more practice I crewed on a j105 j44 and beneteau 456 (this owner started w this boat his wife told him to go big and from what I was told he never sailed prior to the 456) I actually find the C&c easier to dock and grab a mooring. I did take a docking class prior to getting the C&c which I found invaluable The expense is substantially more but the comfort at sea and on he hook at jewel island is well worth it My C&c is a complete project so I went the route of future projects rather then all done due to cost the list has been a great help in various projects Don't be afraid of a larger boat Peter Goonie island Portland me Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 7, 2017, at 8:31 AM, Danny Haughey via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Thats good advice.
