Umm, yeah, what they said. Got me an LF38. The first thing I did with
this boat was set the rig up for single handing. With a few exceptions,
I've single handed it for 12 years. Even with passenger-type crew,
you're single handing. If you're on watch alone at night, you're single
handing.

Jim,
I don't know your experience level, but I went from 27 to 36, no
problem. I won't own a boat I can't sail alone. Frankly, the 36 i
Ditto. I have sailed my 35-1 from Louisiana to Florida singlehanded more than
once. Trim the headsail on the secondaries because they are within reach of
the helm. End boom sheeting with traveler just forward of the helm makes
trimming main easy. Use the wheelpilot to help out. All controls
The 35 MK I is pretty easy to sail singlehanded. You can reach the jib sheets
from the helm and let the traveler down the track from the helm. I am looking
into putting a 6:1 mainsheet on so I can do everything from the wheel if need
be. That said, the boat is usually steered by Otto and I am in

Hi Jim,
I sail a C&C 32 short handed with my girlfriend pretty well exclusively. I
know it's not on your list but I can comment on the cabin top traveller.
Thus far, no problem. It's not ideal but it's not too bad. She sheets the
main, I sheet the genoa from the helm. Having those primary self tai
Hi, Jim -- welcome to the list. I sail a close relative of the 38, a '79
Landfall 38; often single-handed. I've run all the lines back to the cockpit,
and with a decent wheelpilot, the boat is easy to single-hand. And I realize
the 38 is not the LF38, but the LF38 is one of the stiffest (leas

I'm considering a 1977 C&C 38 Mark II in great shape. My biggest concern
is whether the boat is too large and too tender for my wife and I to
handle it cruising through inland waters of Washington state. It feels
