Chuck,
Was in your neck of the woods for the J80 Nationals at Beverly YC. Left
on Sunday with my son, made it to Cuttyhunk in two hours under spinnaker
(hit 11.7 kts on a wave front, fastest we have ever seen), got the
spinnaker off and reached over to Sakonnet - 2hrs. Then up to Bristol in
3 hrs. 49nm in seven hours, my legs were quite weak trying to keep the
boat from broaching.

My C&C love affair started in 2000. I joined the crew of Bill
Dingwell’s “Zoomer” a ’78 C&C 40’ deep keel with an impressive race
history in New England . Our main sail trimmer was Rob Ball. We
bought our first C&C in 2001, Half Magic, a ’74 25 Mk 1 as the 3^rd
owner. It served our family for 14 years, mostly day sailing and
cruising with a race here and there until our two children with the
occasional friend and a large yellow lab made for rather crowded
accommodations for weekend cruising. We bought our new Half Magic, an
‘83 Landfall 35 in Jan 2016 and again I’m the 3^rd owner. After
Zoomer sold, I rejoined Rob for racing as crew on his Etchells and we
worked together at Edson for quite a few years. At no time did I
consider replacing the 25 with anything other than another C&C. Maybe
it’s the lines of the boat, maybe the build quality, or perhaps Rob’s
influence as a friend and sailing buddy or a combination of all of the
above.
Just an FYI, after acquiring his 34, Rob’s Etchells is now on the
market and is a spectacularly great deal given the time, money, and
effort he’s put into the boat.. Someone on the list should snap it up!

Anyone going to Annapolis for the Boat Show this week? I’ll be down
there walking the show on Thursday and Friday, supporting a few of my
Novabraid dealers. Hit me up off list if anyone wants to catch up and
talk boats.
Cheers,

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,
