We did 20-24-26-30-36-35. Back then boats sold fast at a profit. We made money on every single move up ☺ Now – not so much. Selling an old boat is hard and buying one is easy. Buy what you need now and skip all the expenses of buying and selling twice.
Joe Coquina Ps – exactly right about systems. Once you have an inboard, water, stove, etc. etc. no huge difference between boats like there is from an outboard powered boat with an icebox and a bucket From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of PETER OCAMPO via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2017 9:35 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: PETER OCAMPO <bcwwka...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Was considering C&c 25 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<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Thats good advice.

It is not easy to sell your boat (for the money it is worth) to upgrade to a few feet more. Buy the boat you want to have. I don’t think sailing a 30 is that much different (more difficult) than a 27. Not to mention that a Pearson would never look as good as a C&C (-;).

As noted, the 30 is a much bigger boat and maybe not the best choice for a beginnner? My goal/plan is to learn her over the next 5-8 years on Lake Ontario and Seneca lake, and then consider taking her down for longer trips down the east coast cruising once the kids get older (currently 6 and 4). I'm thinking the C&c would clearly better meet that long term fantasy. I could start with the 27 then if it works out could move up in 5-8 years but wonder if it would be better to grow into a boat rather than grow out of one. Thanks again for your replies.
