CNG is safer than propane but burns cooler From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Patrick Davin via CnC-List Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 9:34 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: Patrick Davin Subject: Re: Stus-List I need information on a LF38 for sale in Charleston, SC
Looks like a good deal. Especially if that new engine install was well done. CNG stove is a downside vs LPG in my opinion. Not sure where they store their CNG - the box that normally holds LPG tanks under the helm seat is missing. Listing says it's a 1981 but specs tab says 1979. Sometimes brokers just mess up, but would be good to confirm which is which. No windlass (unless they omitted it from specs) with a big anchor will make for a good biceps workout. Nice Manson though. Running rigging needs replacement probably, at least the genoa sheets. Boom vang is an upgrade, that's nice. Teak toerails need reconditioning. What is that in front of the stove? A 4' tall refrigerator? Gack. I would definitely check it out! With close attention to how the engine repowering was done. -Patrick C&C LF 38 Seattle, WA On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 4:52 PM, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rick Brass <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: James Schwartz <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 19:25:52 -0400 Subject: Stus-List I need information on a LF38 for sale in Charleston, SC A friend of mine is pretty impressed with a 1981 LF38 for sale at Ashley Yachts in Charleston, SC and is close to making an offer on her. Jim is interested in a strong and comfortable boat for retirement cruising on the ICW starting this coming winter. He has sailed several times on my 38 mk2 and appreciates the build quality and performance, and the amenities in a LF38 are attractive to his Admiral. He has already seen the boat, and has asked me to go back with him to take a closer look at the mechanical systems before finalizing an offer. The name of the boat is “True Love”. The listing on Yacht World is: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1981/C&C-Landfall-2842472/Mt-Pleasant/SC/United-States#.VX9bgMtRH3g Does anyone know anything about this boat or its history. I’m a bit curious about the new rudder. I also note that the tankage listed is different from the original spec sheet on an LF38. Do any of the LF owners on here see anything in the photographs on Yacht World that require further investigation, or anything that strikes you as especially desirable? Finally, if this gets to the offer stage, Jim will need to have the boat surveyed. Does anyone have a recommendation for a surveyor in the Charleston area, especially one with C&C experience? A surveyor named David Hill was recommended to my friend; does anyone have experience with him or knowledge of his past performance? Thanks for the help and advice.
