"Pac Cup Veteran" does suggest good gear and an owner that knows what they are doing and has the funds to invest in the ~$100k to pull off a Pac Cup. (vetted number from the boat I crewed on for Pac Cup and from another entrant I know). I doubt the sails (sales) are nearly as tired as the dacron bed sheets sold with most older C&C's. She's been raced obviously. That said, every owner, I've ever raced with has taken better care of their boat than the average cruisers I know and they don't often flog their sails and rigging like many cruisers do. Nobody could say if there was significant water in the boat as with any boat on the market.
Fact is, though we love our C&C's the larger and older boats are the least attractive on the used boat market and are going for peanuts because of this. People who have the skills and funds to own a 40' boat (not as a liveaboard) are generally older and likely more comfortable financially. These buyers are less likely to want an older boat that takes 'work' to maintain or 'work' to sail, hence furling mains and jibs, and powered halyard winches at least. My 2 cents too.
