6.5 feet. i used to sail a star out of Oxford MD so i understand how limiting a full keel can be. most of the boats life has been in lake ontario and off of CT and RI so the deeper keel has value.

Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I Kent Island MD USA From: bob via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 7:18 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: b...@quickland.us Subject: Stus-List Returning member reminiscing Every few months I ask my wife if we should sell our beloved 1982 C&C 37. And being the practical spouse, she says yes. The last time we sailed her was returning from the Block Island rendezvous many years ago. A few of you may remember the rendezvous’ final day as being a sensational sail. A few miles from Stonington our home port we blew out the mainsail. I replaced with a UK with the mast sliders, but havent sailed since. We have the luxury of owning a large boathouse in florida so we have parked her there the last few years. We find our age limits our boating to taking our legacy 40 to stonington each spring and returning in fall. Thanks for allowing me to speak a little of my 49 years of owning five C&Cs. I have no idea of the financial value of this boat. Possibly you can give me guidance. When buying the boat I installed a Beta (kubota) engine. Has a couple hundred hours on it. While a little reluctant, I am prepared to sell her. Bob
