BTW - Your offer, like all offers, should include a survey, sea trial, & optional mechanical survey.
Your broker, if you have one, should help with the process. For the record, I am a yacht broker.

It's a boat. At least he is not trying to convince you everything is perfect with rainbows and unicorns! Make an offer, the worst that can happen is a no thank you. We are cheap cruisers in Canada but polite ones! ;) Good luck.

It seems there is an error at sailboatdata.com<http://sailboatdata.com> regarding the 34 being a Bruce King design. It's interesting, because I wouldn't have noticed except someone from an Ericson list pointed me toward one, mentioning that it was a BK design. As I like both BK and RB/C&C designs, it doesn't really matter to me, but it does emphasize to not trust everything you read online! As it happens, we might be making an offer on the 35-2 we looked at in January. Still mulling it over, as we're in a tough spot where making an offer might just force the other interested party to make a higher offer, and any offer we make will be as high as we can go; I am not going to get into a bidding war. While I really like the boat, I just spent over an hour on the phone with the previous owner of 32 years, and even he admitted that since the major refit he did in 2003, there will be things needing attention just due to age. But all the weak points have been addressed - mast step, every hole epoxy filled & drilled, epoxy barrier coat, etc. Sorry, there I go again, changing the tack of the thread... oops!

I also believe he owns one here on Buzzard’s Bay. There is also a posting today on this list of a 34 for sale very inexpensively.

Thanks, John. I like the 34, and it's the only C&C designed by Bruce King, whose designs I really like, in addition to Rob Ball and C&C. But there is only one near me on the West Coast. It's in Gig Harbour, Wa and the price is a bit more than our budget at 30K USD, although with a tiller, it might be a slow seller. Beautiful boat, and the tiller wouldn't bother me at all, except the cockpit seating is designed for a wheel. I don't know that there is a C&C model between 29 and 38 that wouldn't be a good fit; it's just finding one near me at a decent price is the problem. This 1970 35-1 is interesting, and I will take a look if we go to Vancouver to see the 29 that is listed at the same broker (not on YW). https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1970/c-c-35-3530795/?refSource=standard%20listing I understand the 35-1 is lighter with shorter LWL, rates a tiny bit slower, but maybe better in light air. The rudder is less effective than the later blade. Not sure of other differences aside from minor cosmetics.

Owned ours for 20 years and love it. Sails like a dream. Easily handled by 2. Great layout. Full headroom, enclosed head with shower, 3 burner propane stove with oven, large ice box, hot & cold pressurized water, full length bunks. Cruises 4 well including their gear. No generic build or design issues. There are several on Yachtworld attractively priced. The later hull numbers have a better interior finish (475 built). Of course at this vintage individual condition may vary.
