Also, there is a 35-1 that I raced against as a kid (on my Dad’s 1972 Cal 33) 
over 45 years ago that is still at our local club.  Fun rivalry.  The original 
owner died not too long ago, but the boat remains in the family (his daughter 
and son-in-law).  My brother has owned the Cal 33 since my Dad died (about 30 
years ago).  Both boats still look great and remain competitive, although 
neither is raced regularly these days.

I've owned Touche' for 19.5 years.  Have logged over 13,000 nm since purchase. 

I am 5th owner.  Touche' was ordered in April 1971 as Touche'.  Delivered 
through Walet Yacht Sales in New Orleans in September 1971.  The original price 
was $19,807 US.  Touche' has always been a Lake Pontchartrain boat although it 
has been docked in Pensacola for several months.

Touche' was 1st to finish the Gulfport Pensacola Race in June 1972.  Went 
through a couple of quick owner changes and was then purchased and raced 
extensively by a local dentist until 1981.  The 4th owner cruised Touche' for a 
while then let the boat go idle for several years.  After watching it for a 
couple years, I contacted him in April 1999 and convinced him to sell it.

For those newer to the list, if your boat is USCG documented, you can order an 
abstract of title online from the USCG Vessel Documentation Center here:

It will show all transactions including ownership transfers, liens, etc.

  Hello Al,

  I have a question for the list.

  How many of you have owned your current C&C yacht for 5 years or longer.

  FYI - we have owned Honey since October 1976 and are currently the second 
owners.


  Best regards,
  Jack Fitzgerald, 
  HONEY - US12788

    Question for Rob:

    At the time, was the fact that C&Cs seem to be owned far longer than most 
boats ever discussed ? Was this considered a good or bad thing?

    We have owned Coquina since 1977 and she is – knock on FRP – on track to be 
sailed by the third generation. I have sailed her since I was 12.

    I recall a frustrated C&C broker telling me “No one trades up. Catalina 
owners buy boats every 5 years and you all keep them for decades!”

    BTW – thread creep – Having a C&C 35 in the early or mid 70s was like 
having a Ferrari when everyone else had a golf cart. We bought one because 
someone else had one on the river and that boat passed the rest of us like we 
were aground J
