👍👍 for the Landfall 39. Currently saing mine on the west coast of México. Motorsailing along 7kts apparent, 6.2SOG. Calm seas. Somewhere north of Zihuatejo. Going to see the green flash tonight.

She has survived 4 hurricanes including Dorian with winds of 220 gusting 240 while on a mooring.She is not fast but a very comfortable boat.I hope that helps.Lloyd LippeFinesseLandfall 39On Fri, Mar 17, 2023, 11:39 AM Shawn Wright via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:Hello all,After years and many models considered for an offshore boat, a Landfall 43 has come along which seems to tick most of the boxes, and at a price we can afford. Most of the boats I really like are way out of our price range (Hylas, Passport, Tayana, etc)So I am hoping to hear from those with direct experience with the Landfall 43 in terms of what to watch for, how they sail (I know it won't be like our 35-2!), etc. The cored hull does make me a bit nervous, and the boat is on the wrong coast, so a good survey will be needed. It has the original Westerbeke 58 with about 5k hours that looks clean. I think this is the same block as a Perkins 4-154. Pretty basic sailing setup, two mainsheets, instead of traveller, cutter stay rigged but not used, not sure about running backs. I would want a furler for the cutter stay, which means running backs are probably needed. Interior looks pretty good, although there are signs of water damage, mostly at the floor level on the starboard side which seems odd. I would think if the boat had been flooded, the sole would be shot, but maybe it was replaced. We haven't made an offer yet, but might do so after talking further with the owners. It's currently cruising in the Bahamas and will be available next month in Florida. Yes, this is the one posted on the C&C FB group yesterday, asking 49K USD. That price doesn't get us anything close in any other boat, although might get us a Landfall 38, which is probably our next choice.Thanks!--Shawn wrightshawngwri...@gmail.coms/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto Please show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and help me pay the associated bills.
