You surely can sell boats or give them away here (for us longtime members at least). The boat market is quite odd to say the least. Prices seem to be high for used boats for the most part, but older boats seem to be about impossible to sell. Probably half the C&Cs for sale right now were for sale years ago. Old boats are about impossible to finance and difficult to insure. Dark Star is about as nice a C&C 30 as can be found and is not moving at 11K. I would leave the boat in the water, prospective buyers can pay for a haul themselves.

I’m on the fence about keeping, selling or donating my 1980 C&C 30’. Is the economy badly affecting sales? Should I take some of the newer items off first to part some things out like new lifeline covers, throwable cushions, $500 new halyard, sail and binnacle covers? Would it be better to leave in the water (slip paid through end of year) vs. on the hard so it’s easily inspected (but no test sails)? I’ve enjoyed racing this boat since 1993 and am ready to move on.
