Rob, Thanks for that link - I'll definitely take a look. We own a little trailer sailor at present (Potter 19), so this will be the first keelboat purchase for me. I've done a fair amount of sailing (passages from Portland to the San Juans) with friends on their boats, some sailing classes and a couple of cruises in the San Juans/Gulf Islands.
We currently live in Oregon, but I'm in the process of retiring and we've purchased a house in Port Angeles, so if I do buy a boat, it will be based out of Port Angeles. I've been looking for something from 30' to 35' feet, so this is at the long end. I originally had been reluctant to consider these C&C boats because of the cored hulls, but I guess I'm somewhat getting over that phobia, although I'll definitely be getting it surveyed.
