Greetings all, I haven't been reading this list for some months now, the backlog is some 14,000 messages. My life was full of uncertainty for months and now, thanks to Sandy, it's even worse. I was living on the boat and now I'm homeless and can't deal with the logistics of repairs, so I'm sending this email to see if someone would be interested in restoring Layla to her former glory.
The bad news: Layla, a 1975 C&C 33 Mk 1, got loose of the mooring during hurricane Sandy and hit a bridge. The mast is broken in 3 pieces, the rod rigging had to be cut and all the deck hardware (the tubing) needs to be replaced. The deck has multiple small holes (stanchions, mast winches, bow), the front hatch needs new plexiglass and the main hatch needs new plexiglass and wood trim. The bimini, dodger frame, pulpit, pushpit, hand rails are crushed, as are the wheel, binnacle and compass. The dodger frame broke through one of the side windows and detached the inside liner on the port side. Surprisingly, the solar panels (2 x 120W) are still charging the batteries. The hull has minimal damage near the bow but is otherwise sound. Along with the boat goes everything else I have: quite a few racing sails with very little use, 6 boat stands, a winter cover with aluminum frame and the dinghy: a 10' portabote with a 5hp nissan outboard. I also have some new uninstalled parts. The boat was heavily upgraded for cruising and living aboard. I can provide more detail if there's any interest. This boat is one of the few that came from the factory with a shorter keel (4'10") so it's ideal for shallow waters. Any interest out there? Please email me directly (not just to the list) so that replies don't get lost in the huge backlog I anticipate not being able to get through any time soon. Thanks. -- Augustine Cano [email protected] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
