I have two friends who own 41s, one deep keel (for racing) and one shallow “winged” keel. They are beautiful boats. As one lister noted, deck and thru-hull fittings installed without sealing the balsa core can cause serious issues. In my experience, deck issues are more easily repaired. Make sure you get a good surveyor who knows how to use a moisture meter for any coring below the waterline. This type of repair is often costly and difficult (depending on where the problem is).

Thanks to everyone in advance for any support or advice. I'm currently in the market for a larger C&C for my family to cruise our way around the Chesapeake Bay (middle/upper), and eventually graduating to a bit of coastal cruising. I just can't shake this dream of sailing to see the Statue of Liberty. Currently, there are a few C&C 41's on the market catching my eye. What concerns me, and the reason behind this post is the apparent lack of information on the C&C 41 out on the internet. I've scoured the internet and other than a few bits of commentary I really can't find any substantial boat reviews, technical info, or good/bad/ugly information. Is this a case of "no news is good news", or are there issues and concerns causing a lack of popularity? I'm hoping to find a community of 41's happily sailing about rather than bantering on the internet. If any owners or sailors with experience on a 41 can provide a bit of understanding I would be very appreciative. Thank you, Chris -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
